[Day One]

[It's an eventful morning for Jade Curtiss, father of four to five. First he starts off his morning with a hike up in the mountains. After all, his youngest daughter, Ikki, was long lost after she was captured by vultures as a baby. Jade has only just now located the vultures' nest, so he makes his way there to rescue her.

Afterwards, he brings her back to the house to present her to her family.]

Here is your long lost sister.

[Daylight: Every Day]

[During the daytime, Jade goes through any number of mundane activities. All of which can be interrupted by sudden, intense drama!

Mostly he goes shopping because you know, gotta stock up constantly for a family of multiple girls and an Ion. He tries to grab the female hygiene products as quickly and discreetly as possible. He can also be spotted examining some other random items for his own secretly nefarious purposes. Or, he is spotted when suddenly breaking out into a coughing fit.

Or he stalks suspiciously around the village at other times, sticking to alleyways and various poorly lit areas. He wears a trenchcoat and has a revolver hidden on his person, ready to shoot the next person who has to go down as part of his plan. Who could be pretty much anyone he's not related to.]

[Moonlight: Every Night]

[At night, Jade leaves his children to tuck themselves into bed. After all, just as he does every night, Jade has to go out to attend to business. They think he's working in a lab. Which is correct - to an extent. But it's an evil lab where he performs evil experiments in the form of his alter-ego, Abyssmal. Abyssmal's costume resembles the Abyss Blue costume but with a face-hole. He also still wears his glasses with it still on, but he somehow is still unrecognizable.

Each night, he performs different evil schemes. Maybe trying to kidnap/trap people, maybe endangering an area with deadly fonic artes or poisoning the fountain. In most cases, Abyssmal will have to deal with his enemies - the magical girls...]

[ooc: For this event, the role of Jade Balfour will be played by Matthew Perry. Replies will come from

couldibeanymorefonic or maybe sometimes I'll use the actual account anyway.]

[ All Days ]
[ Ikki was located by her Real Father, Jade, early on in the day. You see, she was kidnapped by vultures as a young child (...) and raised by them in the wild (her "airbending" is something she learned from them) and only today did he finally track down the nest and retrieve her! Ikki of course has been in Luceti before, though, she used to run errands for her vulture family, never managing to cross paths with her REAL DAD. BUT NEVER AGAIN, because wow she didn't know she was stolen/adopted! Rude. She also brought back her vulture brother, Soren, who is actually not a vulture but is still a bird pokemon, and who is somewhat confused by all of this but whatever he'll deal.

Her Actual Family includes her father, Jade, her aunt, Nephry, her brother, Ion, and her sisters, Tear, Rapunzel, and Anise, and she lives with them in a house and they're all super happy okay? Although her mother is mysteriously dead from a mysterious disease and it's very sad.

You can find her... ]

i; out and about in town
[ Ikki can be found anywhere in Luceti, Soren in tow. Of important note is the fact she will not be in airbender clothes for once, but will be wearing mostly nice dresses. This is because she is not an airbender right now, tyvm! She'll still remember everyone she knew previously, but she might be confused about some things and will just get more puzzled if people try to point out the illogic of her new backstory. IT MAKES TOTAL SENSE, GUYS.

Sometimes she also enjoys sitting up on the roof or in trees, though, bonding with her ~vulture~ roots (haha what). Soren will usually go with her at these times, because heights are cool! ]

ii; mystery militia treehouse
[ Ikki has taken up office in Katniss' old treehouse - residence, of course for the Mystery Militia. Have a mystery you need solved? STEP RIGHT UP. The office hours are ALWAYS OPEN, and there are several people ready and willing to be on the case - namely Vanellope, Rapunzel and Smoker, who are part of the gang (which is always accepting applications). They may also try to solve mysteries they find on their own, so look out.

The treehouse actually looks a little like a detective office for the moment, by Soap Opera Handwave logic. There's even a Wolfbatman signal in the corner, although they don't talk about that unless there is DIRE NEED.

Mostly when here Ikki can be found sitting behind her "desk" looking very official and important and waiting for people to come consult with her, be they members of the Militia or random citizens. ]

iii; the balfour household
[ For family members or visitors, Ikki can be found at the "family" home, often playing in the yard or indoors, either with or without Soren. She enjoys spending time with her family. All of her family!

She can often be found on the roof of the house, too, or in trees nearby. ]

[ Day One ]
[ For Day One, Astrid can be found in the employ of Cortez - aka Kurt's evil alter ego. Since his evil schemes seem to mostly involve hitting on people, she...has a lot of free time, and therefore will probably just be going about her business as usual, although she's available for dramatic good vs. evil fights. This means you can find her walking around town, but especially near Community Building One, the Smithy - especially the practice yards - or the Battle Dome. She also takes periodic walks in the woods around town, or practices out there, so.

As a henchperson she will wear her usual spiked outfit, but in all black, and she will answer to Axe. Somehow, despite the lack of a mask, she's unrecognizable as being her "civilian" self - except to her employers, who can spot her in civilian mode at any time during her employ.

Yeah, she doesn't get it, either.

(She may also be finding her LONG LOST (TWIN?) SISTER, Arya Stark, today. PERHAPS.) ]

[ Days Two - Three ]
[ After a dramatic falling out with Kurt/Cortez on day one re: hitting on her, Astrid has dramatically!! recovered from her Hench-related amnesia on previous employers, and is now back to working for Jade, aka Abyssmal. He only requires her help in the moonlight hours, though, so she can be found out and about during the day as a civilian. Again, she can be found anywhere in town, either eating out or training in the Battle Dome, or even reading the Library for a change of pace. She still has that recommendation list to work through, after all.

At night you can find her assisting Abyssmal with schemes, from kidnapping people to endangering areas for...mysterious reasons she doesn't even care about, honestly. Want a showdown with a henchperson? Step right up. Try to foil her. She's waiting. ]

[ Day Four ]
[ During the day she can be found doing pretty much all her normal stuff, although she may seem slightly more distracted and suspicious...is it possible that the things she forgot from mysterious Henchperson related amnesia are coming back...?

The answer is obviously yes, once evening falls. This night is the night where her second employer dramatically!! double crosses her. ]

[ Day Five ]
[ Come across a somewhat happier Astrid during the day, who is now working for Hiccup/El Guapo, who has yet to double cross her or hit on her to Cortez extents. IS THIS THE EVIL WORKING RELATIONSHIP OF HER DREAMS? Stay turned.

This of course means her evil activities now include kidnapping people (still) and running gambling rings and littering she guesses? ]

[Rock Lee spends some time losing his breakfast in the sink of the community kitchen. And somehow he thinks of one particular possibility. It has to be true.

He's pregnant.

So he spends the duration of the event doing what he can about it. He goes around, checking with nearly everyone of every gender whom he remembers or does not remember having any level of contact with. After all, they could be the father, even if they're a girl.

Otherwise, he goes around the village, preparing. Trying to find ways to make his baby powerful, reading books, or trying out names by shouting them off of rooftops. He will also check around the clinic for baby consultation and try to find lamaze classes that he will take with or without any of his potential partners.

Lee does not show the pregnancy at all until the last day, when he is quite bloated. He proceeds to get stuck in the elevator of CH1 and will then begin to give birth. Pity whichever soul(s) is stuck with him in that elevator ride...]

[Good morning, afternoon, or evening. Today is a wondrous day. Or it has been--until this very moment. YOU might not be home, but WHAM-BAM! YOUR DOOR has just been BUSTED DOWN. That's right, door bustin' first (or second or third or tenth) thing in the morning. Standing majestically in your doorway is Tsuna Sawada, LOAN SHARK MAFIA BOSS EXTRAORDINAIRE. At his side, you might find Hershel Layton, MAFIOSO HENCHMEN SUPPLÉMENTAIRE. Or you might just find Layton. ANYWAY, why are they here violently wrecking the holy entryway of your home? Tsk, tsk tsk! Don't you remember? Last [TIMEFRAME], this fearsome mafia group THE PAWNGOLAS loaned you a certain [SOMETHING]. Or many [SOMETHINGS]. You've had quite some time (or none at all, really) to gather your payment and you haven't paid them back yet, so they're here to CLAIM BACK WHAT'S THEIRS. With interest.

Be at your most unprepared because it's time for some PAY BACK. (Haha, get it?)]

OOC: Replies will come from Tsuna, Layton, or a mixture of the two! Feel free to add in any lulzy details that you want. Brackets are for you to specify at your leisure. :)

[Saori just can't help herself! There are so many sweet, kind, and just...wonderful people here in Luceti. And she wants each and every single one of them to notice her, but...also to just secretly admire them from afar because she may be a god but she's not worthy of such things. Shyly, she'll be sort of watching people who she may or may not have a crush on from a ways off, or accidentally freaking out when she bumps into them.

Which is only in part because she's shy and not worthy, but also because she's skittish about contact. Spending a long, long time abducted by aliens has left her not terribly trusting of being touched by strangers! Though she can't help but wonder...she feels like she's missing someone important. Two someones, in fact...

Strangely enough, later in the week there are some surprise changes in her acting, a new girl brought in because the usual one is out with a cold. Nobody'll notice that, right?

And no matter what, periodically wherever she goes there are some oddly dramatic rainshowers that leave her drenched and utterly miserable. And anyone unfortunate enough to be caught nearby besides]

((ooc: Saori is trapped in Japanese soap land, and replies may come from an alt journal, specify if you'd prefer the usual Liu-Yifei though))

[EVERYTHING is a dramatic moment for Kain throughout the experiment. He pretty much ends up in tears over anything that would normally not bother him. The wind is blowing from a new direction? Crying. Dropped his lance somehow? Bawling like a little girl. And so on. Catch him in this overdramatic state at any time, along with any other option...]

[Option 1.]

[He's frequently around town everywhere holding up signs indicating some stunning revelations (choose whichever!):

A. I am your father.
B. I killed your father.
C. I've actually been a woman all along.
D. I've been having an intense love affair with someone in your house.]

Option 2.

[He's also experiencing random deaths all over the place! Kain is having unusually bad luck, dying of things that might seem rather... stupid to die of, including (choose whichever!):

A. A paper cut :|
B. An rare disease that makes him literally swoon on the ground and write out long, dramatic last words
C. Allergic reaction to... crying. Whoops, since he's doing that a lot he'll be in trouble.
D. Tripping and falling on his own spear. Somehow.
E. ...WANT TO KILL HIM? That can be arranged as well, the more dramatic the better!]

[Action/Voice]

[26th-28th: Mulder is in an even more intense investigative mode than usual. Anything he sees that looks remotely like a crime, he will be there, drawing a chalk line around it along with tossing out some crime scene tape. Then finding impossibly convenient clues right there! And making outlandish plot-twisting claims about what happened.]

There's been a sudden rise in crime lately. But don't worry, I'm on the case. I won't rest until I arrest every suspect.

[Come across him investigating a murder (of a certain blonde armored guy). Or maybe he'll just approach you in the middle of your own problematic situation!]

[Action]

[29th-30th: All of the investigation has got him highly motivated to look into his own personal issues. His sister has been missing for years after all. And very suddenly, he's finding clues and hints all over the place pointing him in the direction of his long lost alien abducted sister.]

[Are YOU involved? Maybe he thinks you're his sister, maybe he thinks you took her? Either way, he'll come up to random people all over the place:]

It's you, isn't it? You're the one I've been looking for all along.

Edited 2013-04-26 21:36 (UTC)

[Rydia slipped away from bed early to visit the grocery store (feel free to have bawled about that, Kain), and thus missed some interesting times at the house. On her way back, she spots Kain and heads over, raising an eyebrow at the freshly changed sign.

....what.]

You're not my father, Kain. That's not remotely possible.

[Also, ew.]

APRIL 26 - 28

[ Marita seems uncharacteristically suspicious — to the point where one has a bad feeling even coming across her, before they even speak to her. She's aloof, yet observant, and she seems to take an interest in certain inhabitants of the female persuasion. Keeping notes and perhaps seeking out assistants to help her with her work.

It as if she perhaps has something more to scheme on, more information to collect, or possibly... the need for a right sort of criteria. Intrusive questions ladled in vague answers are all one will get from her.

OPTIONS
A. If your character is or identifies as a woman, Marita is asking questions as a sort of evaluation for your character in the new world order. Although, she does not reveal her intentions of these questions, but the majority of them are medical related. Please feel free to make your character feel highly uncomfortable, very confused, or try to find out why exactly she's asking these questions.
B. If your character is of identifies as a man, she is snappier than usual, acting as if she has no time to talk to them, or they are of little relevance to her. ]

APRIL 29 - 30

[ The evil plan has come out: Marita Covarrubias is a part of a government conspiracy to create an all-female utopia, but with a twist: they consist of alien-human hybrids. All this time she has been cleverly putting on a mask, pretending to be the reserved informant, when she's fooled everyone entirely, especially a certain Fox Mulder in an attempt to abduct his young sister for utopian purposes. ]

Did you really think I wanted to escape the Malnosso's grasp to return home when it would have been more convenient for me? Bringing me to Luceti only made my entire job easier. [ She seems colder than usual, more assured, wicked. ] Now I have everything and everyone to complete it.

Soon there will only be an alien-human hybrid of the female race... and men will no longer have a purpose.

[All Aang ever wanted to do was dance. But his mother, Konan has other things in mind for him. Ninja things.

But every day after school, he finds places. Dark and abandoned-looking places in Luceti where he secretly practices dancing. Primarily of an aangry nature.

Otherwise, he seems like a normal tattooed bald teen. Except that he always wears a hoodie in the sunlight - exposing his skin to the sun, it has a way of making his skin sparkle...

At night and/or some times of day, a mysterious crusader is patrolling the area as part of an elite team of magical girls. No longer is he Aang. Now he is Pretty Guardian Warrior Kyoshi, garbed in a miniskirt-ish version of this get-up. And so Kyoshi patrols throughout Luceti, looking for rights to wrong through the magical powers of dance.]

[Anyone unlucky enough to find themselves close to Captain Barbossa these four days will most likely find themselves to be one of the many targets he sets his sights on - if they happen to be carrying something valuable.

Because Barbossa is suddenly feeling especially greedy - yes, he's full on stereotypically selfish pirate captain these days out of nowhere and will be instantly compelled by an irresistable urge to rob everyone of their possessions, and no matter how big or small the threat is, he will fight them, along with his equally greedy monkey Jack who will do his best to assist in the endeavor. Also, regardless of the desired item's actual worth or use to him, he'll still want to steal it for no apparent reason at all. It could even be something they've just gotten from an item or clothes for free, an item that he can procure just as easily himself - but he won't care. Pillage and plunder is more fun anyway.

One may encounter the man pretty much anywhere in the village, for he'll certainly want to double check all areas of Luceti and see whether there's something valuable that he somehow failed to notice, and he'll want to steal it as well.]

[Though, life seems normal for Pilouette some people may notice that she looks...different. Her skirts are shorter, her shoes have higher heels and her hair is a bit fluffier and shinier than normal.

Also she has an eyepatch.

She goes about her days as normal, going to school, socializing with others and generally puttering around. Her life is pretty boring. ...OR IS IT? She's really ~~an orphan raised in the Pony's Home orphanage-~~ No, wait. ~~an impoverished girl out for revenge after her mother was struck by a noble's carriage-~~ That's not right either. ~~A student transported to another world in order to gather seven warriors and summon a god-~~ No.

By night, Pilouette is actually a secret agent, working under the orders of Jade performing whatever he asks of her...OR IS SHE? The truth is, she's actually working for Loanshark Mafioso Tsuna, observing and collecting information on those around her because of...reasons. Don't be surprised to find her sneaking around or SECRETLY snooping through your SECRET things IN SECRET. However, she is also armed (with a prop gun that doesn't do anything but make sounds and spew smoke; if you're unaffected by the shift it'll probably just blow smoke in your face at most) and ready to take out anyone who finds out the truth about her. Or confess stuff to them.

However she has a secret motive for working for Tsuna. She's trying to track down her father, the mysterious Man with the Monocle! But who knows what other revelations are in store for her...?!]

[And so that morning, Jade is hiking his way up the mountain, his lance through hand, cutting through greenery as he nears the vulture's nest. After all these years, this had to be the right vulture's nest. Where his youngest daughter was taken.

As he nears the nest, he raises his spear and calls out.]

Vultures! I will give you one chance to surrender. Return my long-lost daughter to me.

[ Ikki was in the nest like she was every morning! ...Right? That was totally how her life went, right? Soren seemed pretty agitated about something (Kid, hey kid, what are we doing out here? Kid!) but he could get pretty excitable sometimes. He was her brother (Kid are you listening to me?) and she loved him regardless of his weird antics. Today he seemed to think they were supposed to be elsewhere, but their parents didn't agree, so whatever, Soren.

It was a nice day, and it would probably be like every other day before -

What was that?

Peering over the rim of the nest, jostling older siblings out of the way - Soren helped, guarding his trainer's back, because what the hell giant vultures - Ikki spotted ~~Chandler Bing~~ a mysterious figure with a lance.

Human speech was pretty easy to understand - at least, Ikki had always had a knack for hearing and speaking it, which none of her siblings could do. They could understand it, yes, but only Ikki could speak it!

Probably because she was born pink and stuff, who knew.

She was going to reply, but her mother apparently took EXCEPTION to this demand, and swooped down from the nest at the man below, screeching at her hatchlings to stay put. ]

Mama! Hey - [ Kid, that is not your mother. ] Shhh, Soren! She said get down!

Edited 2013-04-26 22:46 (UTC)

[He looked up towards the bird with a shout. There was some sort of telltale sign that made her recognizable, and Jade could remember all those years ago when the baby was stolen by a younger version of that very same bird.

The indignity. Jade let his rage speak for him as he waved his spear in the air.]

Do you have any idea of the mistake you made? You took my daughter! Do you really think I'll let you go?

[He gathers fonic energy around him as he raises a spear. He doesn't want to listen to this bird's explanations. Not in the slightest.]

O violen torrent... Splash!

[Daytime...

Though 99% of students seem to have become suddenly and spectacularly unhinged this weekend, Layton will be hanging on to his identity as a gentleteacher and will be teaching as per usual on the 29th and 30th. He might be a little more emotional that usual, but for the most part he is just your usual nice guy professor. Yes, definitely.

Nighttime (and then some)...

But at night (and then some) the affable Layton is nowhere to be seen and a new face lurks around town: the mysterious MONOCLED MAFIOSO whose actual name you definitely don't know. You do not know this man from anywhere else at all. Your mistake. When he isn't tagging along with his illustrious LOAN SHARK MAFIA BOSS EXTRAORDINAIRE, a.k.a. Tsuna, he'll be doing menial mafia chores like quietly putting out bribes, scoping out town, and extorting people for their sugar and jam and junk. The small stuff.

If a man suddenly finds he needs a bit of sugar for his tea, the monocled man will be just around the corner with a couple packets on hand. If a lady needs to scribble something down, the monocled man will be there in the shadows with a pen at the ready. Need to borrow a piece of paper? He's got one of those too. But when you say borrow, you better mean borrow, because THE PAWNGOLAS never forget what they're owed.

Oh, and fleeting romance. He does a lot of that too. But you still owe him his 6 jars of mustard, missy.]

(( OOC: monocle!Layton responses will come from the shockingly named

monocledman. ))

[ Well good, because the bird didn't HAVE any explanations. Sometimes birds just kidnap babies and they don't need any reasons! Or so that they have a human child to run errands in Luceti or for some inexplicable unexplained evil scheme.

Those things don't matter, though.

The most dramatic possible action that could be taken right now is the mother vulture arrowing down towards Jade, her children all watching over the edge of the nest, and then - suddenly, MAGIC.

Mother! All the nestlings (except Soren, who was this close to giving up on being logical with his tiny charge) cried out as one. All the children with wings (except Soren, because like hell) took to the sky, screaming down after their poor fallen mother, while Ikki found it in her to sob her heart out.

JADE, HOW COULD YOU BREAK THIS HAPPY (?) FAMILY although come to think of it she'd never been treated very nicely by anyone but Soren here, had she. She'd always been the weird one, and Soren had been too, because they both looked so un-vulturelike. And she only had brothers...

This man, why did he keep talking about a daughter? ]

[Maybe she's just critically damaged who knows. Honestly, Jade doesn't care. He'll swat away at any birds that come towards him while unflinchingly marching forward towards the nest. All those youngsters had feathers and beaks - so they most likely weren't his daughter.

He marched straight up to the nest and looked at Ikki sternly, amused by this odd sentiment he was feeling. This was certainly her. She wasn't a vulture or anything. And he called out to her.]

Ikki. That's not your mother. You're my long-lost daughter. Grab your things - we're leaving.

[ And one by one Ikki watched Jade kill all her family members, except Soren (Stay back, kid, he's armed, just keep behind me - ), looking on wide-eyed and gaping.

Still, soap-opera dynamics immediately take over the scene - there's a mysterious man claiming to be her father? Suddenly it all makes sense. She's been the odd girl out all these years because she's a human! She has a family elsewhere! She's magically getting past this tragic event until and unless she needs to dramatically break down later on about her horrific past!

Although Soren's trying to keep her in the nest away from the crazy armed man, Ikki stands up and steps out of the nest into thin air - letting herself fall until she's almost to the ground, where she twists and slows her fall with air. Soren follows close behind, placing himself firmly between Jade and Ikki, but Ikki puts a hand on his head, calmly. ]

You came to take me home? Really? [ Is it time for teary wide eyed dramatic reunions or is the shift not strong enough to force that from Jade? ] Soren...can he come, too?

[ There's no way I'm not coming! ]

[You thought you were going to whisk away this poor soul? YOU THOUGHT WRONG. BAM THE DOOR IS THROWN WIDE and a monocled man asserts himself in the doorway with a raised and perfectly angled chin.]

You'll go nowhere with that man.

[~~Grandpa is proud of Soren~~ He can't but give a slight smile as she puts a hand on his head.]

Yes, yes I have. You'll have your own room and a number of sisters. Your brother Ion is in a wheelchair. He hasn't walked a step since you were taken.

[And he looks up at the bird, sizing it up. It's threat level.]

This is Soren? If he can behave himself, perhaps he can stay. We can negotiate specifics later. It's important that we get moving.

Edited 2013-04-26 23:40 (UTC)

[ Oh for the love of god. Astrid - that is to say Axe looks up from her attempted kidnapping to see the dramatically posed man, herself lit by a mysterious backlight in the shadows of night.

She relaxes, just a little at the sight. Not a do-gooder by any means, then. ]

If it isn't the Monocled Man. [ Just leaning back against the wall now, crossing her arms. The victim in ropes looked happy up until that comment. ] Have the Pawngolas extended their territory again?

[ They need a news periodical or something. ]

[ Ikki beams up at Jade, feeling completely at ease now that her Real Family has come for her - and sisters! She'd always wanted sisters. Soren's still bristling, but he's at least figured out there isn't any harm coming to Ikki from this quarter - although he's watching you, Matthew Perry.

Time for a DRAMATIC GASP and close up. ]

Since I was taken...then, will he get better if I come back?

[ logic? Soren's also pretty unhappy about the perhaps, just try and stop him old man - but Ikki bounces, cheery. ]

We can leave now! Soren and I don't have anything. Not really, anyway. And he'll behave! He's so, so good. He's my favorite brother. [ Partner! ]

Maybe. He could get better, or he could get worse. We won't know for sure until you meet him again.

[Oh, she's agreeing. He turns and starts to walk back down the mountain trail, motioning for Ikki to follow.]

Very well. So long as he does not attempt to kill or kidnap either of us, I suppose that things shall be fine.
