005 - Crunch (Backdated to this morning)

[silentrunning]

[It was early morning when Chell had heard the sound outside her door. Leaping up from the floor where she'd fell asleep, she darted to the door, opening it a crack to peer out.

And there, sitting right outside her door are a pair of strange kissing dolls. Very strange. And stranger still? one of them looks like Nora Diniro. She doesn't recognize the other doll, having never seen him face-to-face... BUT she can think of only one person that Nora would be kissing.

Scooping up the dolls, she wanders back into her room, and picks up her journal. Opening the journal, she writes.]

I intend upon leaving the Castle today, and going to explore town for the first time. If anyone would like to come with me, or knows of anything interesting in town that you think I should know about, please tell me. I want to get out and get some fresh air, and walk in these odd crackly leaves people are speaking of.

[OOC: The two kissing dolls are Mark and Nora and are mun-approved. Open for action or over the journals. Feel free to find Chell wandering through town dorkishly, talking to these dolls if you want or over the journals. And per the requests of the muns, after this post, anyone else who'd want to find them can assume that Chell set them outside her door. Forgive the long OOC, but I've never ever done anything involving anyone else's characters in my posts before.]

Um.

[Oh geez, she has to think about this one.]

Well, I guess it's like... a kind of worldview that some people have? A belief system. And usually it involves gods or spirits, some kind of supernatural element that holds the world together. I've never really been into it, so it's hard to explain...

[silentrunning]

[Chell nods thoughtfully. that was a good enough answer for her. But she has to write one thing back.]

Like spiritual duct tape?

[For emphasis she draws in a roll of duct tape with sparkles.]

[psych0p0mps]

[Laughs a bit.] Haha, I guess you could put it that way! Although I'm pretty sure duct tape covered in special stardust is a better choice for fixing things.

Wanna go see it up close? The church, I mean. I've never actually climbed it, now that I think of it.

[silentrunning]

[Why yes! Yes she does! Scooting to the edge of the roof, she puts her hands behind her...And propels herself off into space. Stupid inability to jump.

The mechanisms in her boots kick in, and she comes to a graceful landing on the ground, swaying a bit to catch her balance again. Then she grins and waves up at Aradia. Sorry for the heart attack she just gave you!]

[psych0p0mps]

[It wasn't really a heart attack, since Aradia kind of assumed Chell knew what she was doing, even if it looked really strange. So she was just kind of. Watching.

She waves back down, though, and decides instead of flying to get herself down the Assassin way: by doing a leap of faith into a conveniently placed pile of leaves! Somewhat miraculously, this actually works and does not result in any broken bones, and she scrambles out of the pile a second later, unharmed. GOTTA LOVE VIDEO GAMES.]

OMG this response wins!

[silentrunning]

[Chell's a tiiiiiny bit confused at first as to why Aradia's leaping off the roof. After all, she doesn't have Long Fall boots... But it takes her only a few seconds to figure it out, though she doesn't know there's a name for that maneuver.

When Aradia pops out of the leaves, Chell just starts applauding. That was awesome!]

0u0u0

[psych0p0mps]

[Aradia laughs and takes a thoroughly unnecessary bow.]

Thank you, thank you! I'm here indefinitely.

Re: 0u0u0

[silentrunning]

[Chell chuckles. Aradia may or may not hear it... But what she said was hilarious. Of course she'd be there indefinitely. Pulling out her journal, she writes...]

Yes. As will I. We are all the Castle's play toys.

[Then she grins, picks up a handful of crunchy leaves and tosses them in the direction of the Castle. Petty? Sure. Fun? Definitely.]
