11 Truffula Seeds

[findatree]

There's a botanical building right here in the city. According to what I found, there are over two thousand different plants in there! The best part is that it's free!! You can go in and look at the plants and you don't have to pay money.

[this is literally the most incredible thing he's ever heard of in his entire life. His mind is completely blown]

I want to go! The guide says that it's going to be open today in a few minutes.

Thirty Spoons {Dictated; Action}

[cyan_maid]

[It seems that, after all the frustration of the past few days, Jane has mellowed out. She certainly sounds more chipper over the journal today.]

I think I've had more than enough excitement than I ever cared to, but personally, I suppose it's a waste not to do something fun while we're here. I'm not one for movies, but I heard there's a theater about five blocks down the road or so, and there's an awful lot of advertisement for - King Lear, I believe it's called? The creators must be keen on getting folks to see Shakespeare, they cast Mr. Arnold Schwarzenegger for the lead! I can't help but be a little curious.

Who would like to join me in...an hour, let's say? And then there's a showing another half hour after that, so we'd have time for popcorn and such.

[She takes down the address here. See you there!]

((OOC: Feel free to either comment that you'll be there or just show up for the ride, and by all means, jump into any thread you like!))

054 Spells Cast

[kungfuwitch]

[While everyone else seemed happy to be in sunny California there was one person who actually seemed disappointed. After a long bubble bath and a good night's sleep Phoebe certainly felt better after her scrape with the Jurassic. She still had a few scrapes and bruises but they'd all heal in time... they always did.

Slipping into a bathing suit and some sandals she walks down to the beach. As soon as she reaches it she pulls off her sandals, looping the straps over her fingers and letting her toes sink into the soft almost familiar sand. Ignoring everyone else on the beach she walks down until the surf laps at her feet. Her sandals drop to the ground beside her. She looks out over the water, one hand lifting to hold her hair away from her face as the wind blows it. So close. So close. She's looking over the same ocean she's lived near her entire life and yet... Her gaze turns to the right - North. 500 miles. San Diego is only 500 miles from San Francisco... from home. Sure she knows that this isn't really San Diego, that this isn't really California and she can't really get home from here. But the pull is still strong. This is the closest she's been to home in just over two years... and on the Summer Solstice no less. In this moment she feels more homesick than she's ever been.

In her heart she knows it's not going to work but she has to at least try... She closes her eyes and opens her heart]

Power of the witches rise
Course unseen across the skies
Come to us who call you near
Come to us and settle here.

[She waits for a minute or two before repeating the spell, voice softer this time. Nothing. It was selfish, she knew, but if she didn't at least give it a shot she would have always wondered if it might have worked. Brittany's words echo through her mind, "Well it should." Of course she had been talking about birthday wishes but Phoebe can't help but make the connection and inwardly scold herself for how foolish she was being. She should just accept this for what it is - a short glimpse of home.

She sits down on the sand, gazing wistfully out at the ocean.]

Sixth Shot

[last_rat_standing]

( Olivia Mansfield )

[Well this is certainly an environment Bond feels more comfortable in. Bond steps outside the hotel, more comfortable in khaki pants and a polo shirt. He casually paces near the valet stand until he sees it. Oh yeah now THAT'S a car. He jogs up, smiling politely at the driver as he takes the keys. He gives the man a nod as he barks instructions at Bond. Sliding into the driver's seat his smile slips to a content smirk as he slips the key home and turns it over. He revs the engine a few times as he shuts the door, giving a quick glance at the traffic pattern before tearing into the street.

A good drive is JUST what he needs... and maybe a good drink]

((OOC: Bond is going for a joy ride. Feel free to spot him at any point during the day... or in any bar))

Tenth Snowflake - Backdated to the start of LW plot

[sugarwaffo]

[Sugar turns in her sleep, muttering lightly before opening her eyes. She must have fallen off the table sometime in the night, ‘cause she wakes up on the floor. She notices something’s off, something, but in her sleepy haze she’s not sure what. The floor seems to be moving on its own… but that can’t be right. She looks around and realizes not Rise’s room. The furniture and proportions are all wrong]

Huh? Where am I?

[Shifting to a sitting position, she feels a strange sensation near her back. And that’s when the second realization hits her: she has no wings.

Cue panic.]

WAH?!!

((Backdated human loss, open to journal or action on cruise.))

Trial 9: Supah fun time!

[pint_sized_carnivore]

[Meanwhile at Belmont Park]

[While Chie is heavily affected by the events of the past few days, having a day to spend in a big city, in a foreign country, made her happy enough to shrug off what happened. She took some medication for her ankle, so she'll be walking just fine. Now that she's in a big American city, what to do?  Why go to a theme park of course! She's pretty sure some of the residents got the same idea, so she's on the look out for some familiar faces.

Feel free to spend the day in a theme park!]

( Adam Monroe )

If anybody sees a blonde British guy, let me know. He's probably hanging out at a bar or something.

026 - The Sounds of Traffic and Ocean Surf [Backdated to this morning]

[silentrunning]

[Chell's in a new place. And as usual when she's in a new place, she's exploring.

She'd slipped down to the lobby and picked up a travel brochure. And now, ensconced in a comfy armchair, she's reading it. But she's come upon a problem. Everything sounds so completely amazing. Everything sounds like something she'd want to do. So, picking up her journal, she pens a message.]

I picked up a book about this place, but everything sounds so good and so fun. So, I've decided just to explore and see what I can see. Would anyone like to go with me?

What currency is used here? I have no coin, but there must be something to be done for our efforts and sacrifice.

[sparednothing]

[Anyone near the docks this evening, will get o enjoy watching various cargo ships make their way into the city, dropping off or picking up precious cargo. It's a pleasant night, all things considered. That means something has to go wrong, right?

One of the cargo ships seems to have run aground, trapped on the docks. Workers are milling around it, talking in confused, raised voices. One eventually gets onto the ship, to search for crew. ...Its a few seconds later that there is a scream and the sound of metal being smashed into. The male T-Rex bursts out of the cargo hold, stomping out onto the docks. Workers run, screaming in terror, as the Rex makes his way towards the city....]
