Event Log - Total Recall (2)

[lucetimods]

Who: YOU AND ME! THAT SPELLS... MOUYE?
What: More event shenanigans
When: Today until the 4th! (Backdating is okay too)
Where: All around Luceti. Actually that's wrong. Anywhere INSIDE Luceti.
Summary: It's that special time when the Malnosso collect all their recent experiments and apply them all at once to measure effectiveness. Although invaluable as research, it tends to leave the subjects looking just a bit mad.
Rating: Rated BLARGHARGHBLARGH

So there is a mod post and it pretty much tells you EVERYTHING you need to know. This is a second log so people can change up their effects and try something new, jump into the event late, or just avoid the impending CAPTCHA on the first log.

I guess so. I mean, I don' really know how bad this experiment thing y'talkin' about gets.

[Well, for the time being, at least.

Little Mac Riding Hood remains one of his more unpleasant Shift-induced experiences that fortunately not too many people witnessed. :I]

But yeah, pretty much with anythin', it could always be worse, heh. Least you ain't hurt... [He gives him a quick look of appraisal.] ...right?

[failshifter]

No, I'm not hurt. [Billy spreads his arms to show that yes, he is in fact in perfect condition. Just. Kind of out-of-body right now. And it's hurting his heart a bit, but not in any way that counts as an injury, either. He jerks his head in the direction of town, starting to walk.] You're on the right track to be a pretty good knight, though.

[thelittlemacthatcould]

[He lets out a breathy, nervous little laugh at the compliment, happiness surging through him.]

Aw, shucks... y'really think so? Know I ain't tall, but... I wanna be the best knight I can be.

[failshifter]

"Size matters not." [Yeah he totally just went there.] What's most important is how tough you are, I think. Being small just makes you harder to catch!

[thelittlemacthatcould]

[How cute.]

Yeah... [The more he considers it, the more he regains his sense of self-confidence.] Yeah, y'right. Know I ain't half bad at duckin' an' movin' around when trolls swing their clubs an' try t'smack ya silly...

[Dismissing the thought, he smiles appreciatively.]

Thanks, man. Y'know... y'sound like you can be a good wizard or somethin' 'cause they're smart an' know the right things t'say when somebody needs it.

[failshifter]

[Okay, that? Makes Billy laugh. Not because he's wrong, of course - he's actually closer to the truth than he might ever know - but the idea of him being the wise character in any questing group is hilarious. He's no Gandalf or Dumbledore. He's- he's like- Pippin or Neville. Every now and then he'll do something badass but most of what he does is pretty damn clumsy.]

Don't give me any credit for that one- I'm just quoting someone a lot smarter than me.

[thelittlemacthatcould]

[Aww.

Mac glances over when he hears what he thinks to be genuine laughter, his grin lingering. He is determined to give you credit, and damn you, you will stand there and like it. >BI]

Well... you's the one who said it t'me. So m'always gonna 'member that.

[He breaks into a goodnatured chuckle after a moment's thought.] Hey, wasn't I the one who was supposed t'help you out?

[failshifter]

Heh, call it a payment for services rendered. Or... being rendered, I guess. It's a work-in-progress. You're still walking me to the village, right?

[Whether he needs it or not.]

[thelittlemacthatcould]

Sure am. For another, what, thirty seconds, maybe? ...Heh. The plaza ain't too far away.

[He doesn't draw attention to it, but he's content at the fact that Billy's mood seems to have improved a little.]

[failshifter]

Well, it gave us both something to do, and some good company besides. I'm not about to complain.

[And he honestly is feeling better, so it seems to have done them both some good.]

Thanks... honest. This helped a lot.

[thelittlemacthatcould]

[In his eyes is a perpetual hunger to prove himself; there's nothing like appreciation and approval to make Mac feel warm and fuzzy.]

Hey, no prob'm, man. M'totally glad y'feelin' a lil' better.

[And now, his pace slows and the slightly awkward moment in which they part ways is upon them.]

Well... it's been good. Know I only met ya a few minutes ago, but y'seem like a real nice guy.

[failshifter]

Same to you. If I see you again when I'm in my normal body, I'll be sure to say hello. Might help if you had a real face to go with the name.

[He stuffs his hands into his pockets, backing up a few steps as if to continue on into the plaza.]

See you around, Mac.

[thelittlemacthatcould]

You too, man.

[Man, if Mac were from after 1987, he might have thought to make a reference to Double Dragon's 'Billy and Jimmy' team; but the situation being what it is, he simply raises a hand in a lazy wave before slowly turning his heel and making his way in the opposite direction.]
