Character Meet and Greet~~ At Night

[smk_mods]

Rules | FAQ | Premise | Applications


I. Main Street Usa!

It's twilight, edging to evening, and yet the streets are still alive with citizens and Apprentices (that means you!) alike. Take the time to admire the lights, pop in and out of the cafes or just relax in the garden.

Weapon shops and magic shops are open late into the evening this time of year, so feel free to enjoy yourself before you equip yourself for the life head.


II. Apprentice Training 101- Evening Class

Same commons behind the fire house, same weapons and wands available for practicing your skills-- though this time under the cozy street lights and the bright blues and tired purples of a fading summer twilight. Strike at the training dummy or try to catch fireflies with whispers, its all up to you.


III. Things that Go Bump

Are bumping. And they mean business. A few level 1 corroded monsters are scurrying around Main Street causing havoc and it's up to you to stop them. The question is, is it early in the evening or do you dare to face the creatures at the night's darkest hour?


IV. It's time to Sparkle!

Everyone has a spark of imagination. That is, in fact, why you're here! It's time to shine with your own scenario! Just try to keep from causing too much trouble.

I. A young woman appears to be standing off to the side on Main Street, hands clasped in front of her, a welcoming smile on her face and says:

"Hello, I appear to be malfunctioning. Please try your request again later."


II. Being unsure is not in her programming. Regardless, she is. That does not stop her from being helpful and so, with some of this strange magic, she will wander around distributing glasses of water. Or, well, some liquid that is probably water. For some reason she just can't seem to get it right.


III. She has no data on the corroded beings and nowhere to download it. So she has to resort to base programming which is standing in front of the creatures and waiting for someone to tell her what to do. This could end poorly.

Because this couldn't possibly go poorly.

I.

"Um, what request?" the purple haired teen asked hands on her hips.

[isthatacactus]

"You called for me. I am here." Otherwise why would she be. "I am currently malfunctioning. Please try your request again later."

[mal_contented]

"Um, no. Pretty sure I'd know if I had," she said dryly, crossing her arms. "Malfunctioning, huh?"

[soraing]

II.

The girl had just dropped down in front of her from her stroll along the edge of a roof. She stretched as she eyed the glass. "Thank you, but I'm not sure what that is or if I should be drinking it."

[isthatacactus]

"Okay!" There is a soft little sound and she presents a curly bottle that looks like it could be used for sand art, this time filled with a vivid red liquid. "Hydration is important as you are alive."

[soraing]

"It is, especially for an athlete, but so is knowing what you are putting in your body. How about this, why don't we stop into the restaurant there and I'll treat us both to a cool drink?"

"Janet?!"

It can't be. It just can't. No demon was ever this lucky. Michael nearly drops the bags of (Eleanor's) groceries he was carrying from the Emporium in his rush to cross the street.

"Janet! When did you get here?"

[isthatacactus]

She is not relieved to see him because she does not have emotions.

"Unclear." A pause as she recalculates. "Estimated time, five minutes." There is a soft bing and she presents a small potted cactus made of cardboard and felt and too many googly eyes. "I appear to be malfunctioning."

[takeitsleazy]

"Ohhhh, Janet." He takes the cactus from her happily. "It's probably your system recalibrating to deal with the magic. Think of this like a reboot, only...nobody pushed the button." He puts a hand on her back, gently, between her shoulders, and starts to guide her down the street. "Let's just, um. Get you to the apartments, mm? In case you start glitching any flying fish, or, say, vomiting silly putty."

[isthatacactus]

"Okay!" Though this comes out more as a gurble as the one word she latched on to seemed like a request and there is a trail of violently pink silly putty going down her front and leaving a trail down the street.

Also apparently she doesn't roll so her feet awkwardly stick out in front of her so she won't fall on her face.

[takeitsleazy]

"Oh. Oh, fuck." He stops and catches her, then starts to peel up the silly putty.

"Please stop, Janet. Please. .... Ugh. I think we need a Princess. This is not good, this is so not good. My best friend is broken."

He wads the putty into a giant ball and sticks it at her feet so she won't go anywhere. "Janet, nod if you can still hear me."

[isthatacactus]

"Otay!" She stops. And nods. "I to nod attear do de cajublerlatind." This last word spews silly putty a few inches outward. But still she holds out a crown, covered in needles and a sash that says 'Cactus Princess Best World'.

Eleanor doesn't look up from her lunch on the the patio of the restaurant she doesn't bother remembering the name of before accepting the glass.

"Hey, thanks."

She took a sip and immediately spit it out on the ground "What the fuck is..." her gaze finally lifted to the woman smiling at her and the disgusting taste in her mouth is immediately forgotten. "Holy shit balls. Janet?!"

[isthatacactus]

"Hi! I am currently calibrating." There is a ping and have a whiskey bottle filled with suspiciously colored liquid. "I have been calibrating for seven hours, sixteen minutes and forty nine seconds, fifty seconds, fifty one seconds, fifty two seconds, fifty three seconds" But she's not panicking because she does not have emotions.

[az_shrimp_horny]

"Shit."

She took the bottle and set it on the table, standing and taking Janet by the shoulders

"Okay, okay. I get it. Janet... You're not in the Neighborhood anymore. We're not in our dimension anymore. Oh man that's gotta be fucking with your... You."

[isthatacactus]

"... seventeen minutes and zero seconds, one second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds, five seconds..." There is a ping and an upside-down cactus appears. A mechanical goose with a sombrero. A mustache that flaps around. As more things appear she begins to sob uncontrollably but doesn't stop counting.

But she is not panicking because she does not have emotions.

[az_shrimp_horny]

Eleanor yelps and ducks to avoid that mustache.

"Okay I don't know if this is gonna help or make things worse... But here goes!"

She leans back and slaps Janet across the face. That's what you do with hysterical people, right?

[isthatacactus]

Still sobbing she slaps her back.

"I am currently rechalhalibraihaihaiting... Bwaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh"

"I didn't request anything?" Rose is confused, but this is nothing new. If Michael truly thinks humans should just have anger and confusion for their two base and only emotions, then Rose is his perfect person. "Hello? I'm Rose Tyler."

[isthatacactus]

"Hi! I'm Janet." Bing! Have a paperweight with the word sutcac on it.

[bigbadrose]

"OH!!! Michael's--" TARDIS, probably best not confuse the not-robot right now. "Friend!" Friend right, unless it was a different Janet, but --"I assume you know Michael? Because he said you're special among Janets, because you--" it's probably impolite to mention a thousand plus rebootings. "Were super evolved to do more than any other of your kind. Unless I just put my foot in it, in which case, ignore this."

She took the paperweight. "Thank you, what's a sutcac?"

[isthatacactus]

"Michael." Bing! A balloon appears over her head but she doesn't seem to notice it. As for the rest. "Okay!" Consider it ignored.

[bigbadrose]

Rose rubs her temples in thought. If the Doctor thought the TARDIS was bad out of the time-vortex of his universe, it had nothing on a Janet in magic-land.

"Do you know Michael? He's an architect," she very very very slowly articulated the words carefully.

[nadenagi]

Nagihiko had been trying to watch these creatures from a safe distance to learn about them. They weren't like the Batsu-charas at home at all. Nor like the Nozu-charas. He didn't think he could do much to be of help, at all, but he had to at least try. When he saw the older woman just standing there as one of the creatures noticed her, he skidded forward. "LEFT!" he called to her, which if she listened, would bring her back closer to him. If she didn't... well.. either way he was prepared to MOVE.
