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.

"Close enough," Rose beamed, and debated hugging Eleanor, but she got a very distinct impression that that would get her knees kicked, so for once, she held back. "Nice to meet you Eleanor. Michael really missed the four of you. Five if you count Janet. And yeah, he's trying to fight the corruption now, um." She was forgetting something obvious. Oh well! "But in three-D, which is driving him a bit zooey. But he got waaaaaay too excited about getting a job. I keep telling him he should work at arts and crafts." A tongue lolling grin, as Rose just waits for the joke to sink in. If, indeed, it ever does.

[az_shrimp_horny]

Actually she's not entirely opposed to hugs. Especially since it's a blonde who seems to be as hot and sassy as herself. Ah well. She easily returned that grin. "Nice to meet you, too. Glad to see there's been someone here to help keep Mikey in line. He kinda needs it. A lot. Pro-tip: if you need to distract him just give him a bowl of paperclips. Seriously."

No, really. It was weird.

It was also weird hearing how much he missed her them. They'd gotten kind of close during their trip to the Bad Place but still. Weird. You know what else is weird? The word weird.

"3D?" She was confused for a moment before the lightbulb lit up, "Oh right! The whole nine dimensions thing. I always wondered if he was bullshitting about that. Guess not. So he's down to our level, huh? Has he curled up in a hoodie and cried like a big baby yet?" Sorry, Rose, that was more important than your joke. Or the fact that he had a job. She'd get to that.

[bigbadrose]

"Mikey," face scrunch. Rose couldn't imagine calling him that ever. Too Ninja Turtles. As to paperclips, she giggled, "So was it you that gave him the bracelet?"

About the hoodie bawling... "Yeaaaaaaaaaaaah, like... four or five times? Only one of them was my fault, okay?" A sigh and she facepalmed. "I might'a set him off into torture land mentally, but I swear, it wasn't on purpose, and I just forgot how fragile he is! I mean otherwise he's all... growly and hot and--" Rose drops her voice and gets all serious faced, "I'm very dangerous, Rose." Super serious face. "Or punching Hades' monsters in the face like pow!" less serious and miming a punch in the air.

[az_shrimp_horny]

It's too much fun seeing him try not to get annoyed at her for calling him that. How could she resist! "Bracelet?" She shook her head. "I don't know what you're talking about. Of course I don't really notice much about his accessories beyond those lame bow ties."

Oh shit biscuits, he'd flipped out that much? She'd only been joking, she didn't think that really happened! Good thing she'd gotten so good at bringing him back from the brink of panic. She made a face, wincing at the thought. "Shit... yeah that's not good. At least it doesn't sound like he's gotten as bad as the time Chidi made him think about his own death and gave him an existential crisis."

Waitwhat did blondie just say? She holds up a finger, mouth open in shock "Okay I'm not sure which I have more questions about: the fact that you called him hot or the fact that he punched a monster."

[bigbadrose]

"Really?" a head tilt. "He's got a paperclip bracelet. Never takes it off," a shrug. "God those stupid bow ties," she facepalmed. "I actually asked him about that. It's because a regular tie would be too intimidating, he feared, whereas bowtie clearly says the kid at school that everyone else beat up and pantsed all the time. There's another bloke here who wears bowties, but plain black, not the whimsical evil Mr. Rogers or Willy Wonka kind Michael goes for."

"Yeah, it was all existential crisis-y too." Side glance. Is she being called on her questionable tastes in semi-immortal men with a penchant for bowties, again? It would seem so. Maybe if she ignores it, they can pretend it never happened! "It was pretty --" shit. She was going to say hot, sexy or some variation thereof. And she can't even say impressive either, because that's Rose's codeword for hot!

"Ummmm so! First day of lessons, yeah? And everyone's all in a panic, because Hades doesn't think we're capable of anything, and he's half right, I didn't know my element, and I've never been in a world with magic, and the Doctor summoned flaming hats from the sky, so that was a thing. And Michael was like 'You know what? The best teacher I ever had knew his students weak spots and worked with them on it,' and Hades was like 'Go fuck yourself.'" Not in those words because Disney, but the sentiment was there, obviously. "And Michael was all 'Fine, I'll help everyone instead!' and sassing Mr. Lord of the Dead himself, so then Hades summoned all these monsters and pretty much everyone was like 'I'm a lover not a fighter!' but I blinded one with sparkles so Michael punched it! Pow! Right between the eyes! And then I kicked it, and actually had fun, and we all got our asses handed to us. So hopefully you're not an elemental type, though Lyds and the other princesses seemed pretty exhausted, and I assume the weapons class was equally violent." Hilariously, it was not.

And sod it, Rose was on a roll. "You really don't think he's hot? With those blazing blue eyes and broad shoulders and........ I'm just gonna shut up. Don't breathe a word of it to him. Not because I have a problem with him hearing it, but because it'll go straight to his already-far-too-big ego, you know?"

[az_shrimp_horny]

A paperclip bracelet? "That's pretty weird. Yeah I don't know." At least she doesn't know anymore. Thanks memory wipes! "That's what he said about the bow ties? Lame. But you know I like the way you think. Evil Mr. Rogers kind of suits him."

She listened. Like actually listened. Like actually paid attention as Rose talked. Shocking, really. But she took a moment to absorb what she said. It was crazy and ballsy and kind of badass... and somehow sounded just like Michael. Weird. She shook her head, "Damn, girl, that sounds intense! I'm really not sure what to think about the whole magic thing and flaming hats kind of sounds like a dumbass power, I gotta be honest. But I guess Michael punching something in the face is pretty cool. I'm sorry I didn't get to see that."

Oh but the girl really had it bad for Michael. Kind of weird. But so was he so there you go. She shrugged, "I dunno, I never really thought about it. I mean, I don't usually go for older guys aaaaaaaaand he was there to torture me and my friends. So that kind of puts a damper on the ol' hormone factory ya know what I'm sayin'?"

[bigbadrose]

"Yeah, he said he even considered the cardigan, but it wasn't intimidating enough. So I poked him about the bowties, because that's the furthest thing from intimidating evar."

"Yeah, intense!" Rose punched the air in victory. Perfect word for it. "Well, I don't think the Doctor's power is uh flaming hats, so much as pure random whimsy?" a shrug. "He's a fairy like me... whiiiiiiiiiich does not mean flaming homosexual in this particular connotation." A laugh. "I think! Honestly he's not human, and he's barely male, so... Don't ask. It's just a class type, like monster. Michael's a monster-type. So is Crowley, who is the demon that doesn't consider it racist."

Rose rubbed the back of her neck at the final part. "Right yeah, Michael's definitely..." older. Rose's type to a tee. It's nearly painful when she thinks about it at all. So she won't. "How did you get him to go all... ethics and stuff anyway?" Soul mates?

Rose slowly shook her head. "I kind of... don't get it, no." A face scrunch. It was hard for her to think of it as anything but the Doctor and Janet as a talking computer-y version of the TARDIS. "Like I didn't know him when he was still... actually super evil. And the more he tries to convince me he is, or at least, was..." Rose glanced away and rolled her shoulders in a shrug. The more it turned her on? Yeaaaaaaaaaaah a lot. There's something wrooooooong about that, isn't there? And for the life of her, Rose can't pin down why it is. She's not sure she wants to try, it seems like definitely opening a big Pandora's Box there. "Like I'm definitely not into a project," a serious stern look back at Eleanor, because that's for sure. "Two of my exes were projects and I'm the--" she snapped her fingers again, "Totally walk away type instead." Face palm. Including from the Doctor?

Rose shrugged. She didn't really have to explain or justify it to herself or Eleanor, so why bother? It wasn't like Michael or the Doctor would ever do anything about it anyway. Immortals.

She looked at her feet all the same, like the answer was there and she couldn't hide it after all. "It's because he doesn't give up," she admitted with a small growl. "Blimey, I just... hate that, yeah? Like, when it comes to fighting the darkness or corruption, or protecting the people I care about, I'll do anything, try anything, no matter how insane or desperate." Serious nod. And another shrug, "All the other immortals won't. I get it. Who wouldn't get burned out after millennia of same after same? But that's just it. He didn't." A huff. "He calls it creativity, but as far as I'm concerned, it's just brilliant." Oh. Rose really hoped her cheeks weren't blushing now. Blimey, that was way too embarrassing a thing to say or admit while sober. Rose waved a hand quickly, "Again, don't tell him I said that, it'll go straight to his head."

[az_shrimp_horny]

Okay, Eleanor's patience for info dumps was wearing a little thin. She honestly zoned out about halfway through and barely caught most of what Rose was talking about. That's cool right? Eh, whatever.

She made a face, "I'm supposed to be a fairy, too. Lame, amirite? But yeah I got Michael to agree to do the ethics courses by not giving him an option." She laughed, she was particularly proud of that fact actually. "He needed our help and said us working together was the only way to get us into the Good Place. So I told him we'd only work with him if he took the ethics classes, too." Her smirk was devious and cocky. "It worked like a charm."

But she couldn't help but pick up on the massive vibes Rose was giving off. She had it baaad. Eleanor leaned in, her smile warming, "If you like him you should just tell him. He's not gonna pick up on any hints, believe me."

[bigbadrose]

That's okay, everyone else is like that too with Rose.

"I did," Rose just shrugs. "Not the why. But I was joking around and he didn't get it, so I had to break it down," another shrug. Wry grin, "He told me he wasn't good rebound material, and then the story of Derek and his windchime genitalia." Giant grin and finger guns. "And I told him that's not me, I don't do rebounds, and anyway," she waved a hand, "It doesn't really change how you feel about someone. Works better as a distraction from other things... and that's not my style anyway. He said he was unclear on the whole thing, and then had a new moon breakdown. Not my fault. Side effect of the monster thing. And ours is... supposedly we're obsessed with something, but beats me what. I think being a fairy is just a punishment in trying to get the element to work right. The Doctor's is total chaos. Literally. So nothing works right for him."

[az_shrimp_horny]

"Fuuuuuuuuuuuucking Derek." Eleanor drew out his name with ridiculous disdain. He deserved nothing less. "That dude was a trainwreck." And why the fuck did Michael even mention his windchime dick? What was wrong with him? ... Okay not enough time to answer that question.

She stared at Rose for a long moment, "Yeah I'm not even gonna pretend I understand half of what you just said. But whatever. We just gotta work on him a bit. 'Cause he might just be stuck with a big case of denial. I mean, come on, he might not be human but that doesn't mean he doesn't want... I mean, he'd still have..." She made a face, "Okay, I can't even imply Michael having sex with a straight face because I just can't picture it. Strike that, I don't want to picture it."

[bigbadrose]

Rose giggled even more. "Well, I guess he's made that way?"

She snorted about Michael and made a face back, before laughing and shaking her head. "It's fine, really. Annnnnd I'm not sure he does have sex like a human??? He's basically called most of it pretty disgusting. And I'm not that into torture, sooooo..." a shrug. "I think he said to someone else he would need a very compelling reason for it, and he wanted to make sure I wasn't going to use him for a rebound which would fail anyway." All the shrugs. "Blimey, we need a change of topic. What kind of clothes would you prefer if you had a choice? Since like I said, Lydia might go for it, yeah?"
