variety is the spice of life

[lucetimods]

Who: Everyone who wants to be here!
What: Total Recall 2014
When: The first week of the event, roughly April 9th-16th, give or take a few days depending on your character's timeline.
Where: All over Luceti, presumably
Summary: Chaos! Madness! Unreasonable happenings! You know the drill. Alternatively: characters wake up and sigh because god, not this again.
Rating: Varied. Anything frisky goes to appointments as per usual, chums.


Due to the size and variation of this event, it's probably best to have several logs for it to avoid one getting overcrowded and broken. Feel free to have your characters post their own entries, of course, if you'd prefer- you're more than welcome! This is for people who like to consolidate. Another log ought to be posted around the 16th for round 2.

[He would be so sorry for his reaction right now, Jane, if only he remembered her...

When someone talks to him, he turns, waving the last of the thought bubble away.]

Yeah?

*Ugh, a dude in a suit - I bet he wants to yell at me.*

Whatchu want?

[disastergirl]

I-- [And then she saw the thought bubble. There went her composure. Yeah, he was going to hear about this after the shift was over.]

What do you mean, "he"!? I'm a girl! Can't you tell?

[skaterbrain]

What?!

*Oh crap, she's gonna kick my ass!<*

I didn't say nothin' about anyone!

[disastergirl]

You didn't have to say anything! [She pouted before realizing this sort of behaviour was very unbecoming for someone of her position. Controlling her temper was hard, but she had to try. Okay, take a deeeep breath...]

That strange bubble over your head did it for you.

[skaterbrain]

Stra--

*nge bu-- aw hell.*

[He looks up and sighs.]

I ain't controllin' that, yanno. It jus' happens.

[disastergirl]

Hmm. [She held her chin and closed her eyes in a moment of thought.]

How solid is that bubble? Have you considered throwing a blanket over it?

[skaterbrain]

I dunno. I can't touch it but it goes away when I do this.

[He reaches above his head and vigorously shakes and waves his arms, chasing the bubble away like a cloud.]

Ugh, see? But give it a minute an' it'll be back. It's a pain in the butt.

[disastergirl]

Oh, it's all fluffy! [Wait, that didn't sound very dignified. Let's try that again.] I-I mean, how peculiar!

But it does sound irritating... If there's anything I can do to help, I would be glad to do so! [Aw yeah, she definitely sounded cool just then. People would start taking her seriously in no time at all!]

[skaterbrain]

Guess it's kinda fluffy...?

/Not like a marshmallow or nothing, but kinda like cotton?/

[ Wait omfg what is he saying, er thinking akdj;faja;a Beat jumps and shakes his head.]

I dunno whatchu could do, but if you got any ideas, yo... I ain't so good at thinkin' so I got nothin'.

[disastergirl]

[She was only a hair away from a grin, but other than that she didn't comment on his thought bubble or his reaction to it. This time. Lucky you, Beat.]

I could warn you if there's something embarrassing in there. Would that help you?

[skaterbrain]

No! 'Cause then you'd seen it so it's already embarrassing!

I just gotta keep it from bein' there at all!

/Before somethin' really bad happens. Like me thinkin' 'bout kittens or curry or-- CRAP./

[disastergirl]

[She blinked. It was still embarrassing even though they were strangers? Was this person really that shy...?]

You might have to stay insi-- [Oh.] What's wrong with thinking about kittens and curry?

[skaterbrain]

/OH MY GOD SHE KNOWS I THINK ABOUT CURRY/

Nothin'! I ain't thinkin' 'bout nothin'!!!

[disastergirl]

[Oops. Alright, new plan: don't get caught looking up!]

Okay, okay, I get it already! Here, I'll get it...

[Moving to shoo away the thought bubble with her sword still in its scabbard and trying her best not to look at it wasn't an easy task, but she was giving it a shot.]

[skaterbrain]

[The cloud puffs away and Beat slumps, hands on his head.]

Thanks, Blondie. Ugh...how'm I supposed to stop thinkin'?? I thought it'd be easy, but it's harder'n it looks!

What 'bout you? You don't got a bubble. How're you not thinkin'?

[disastergirl]

I am thinking! [pouts.] I don't know why I don't have a bubble like yours, but I'm not the only one who doesn't have one.

[She took a quick glance around.]

Just take a look! I'm pretty sure you're the odd one out here.

[skaterbrain]

/Huh?/

[Beat takes a look around and he notices that Jane is right. No one else seems to have what he has, although they all have the same wings in different colors.]

/Wait a minute...!/

I ain't odd!!

[disastergirl]

[Jane had to hold her tongue on that one. Snapping at this guy wasn't going to help and she knew it. The sour look, on the other hand...]

It's just a figure of speech. You're not odd!

[Well, how else was she going to get him to cooperate with her?]

[skaterbrain]

Then why'd you say it?

/Why're girls always saying stuff that doesn't mean what they say? This is so confusing./

[disastergirl]

Because that's just how I talk! [Luckily she wasn't looking at the bubble this time.]

You wouldn't like it if I told you how to talk, would you?

[skaterbrain]

[He shrugged.]

I'd jus' ignore you like all the other people who told me how t'talk. It's annoying, but after a few years, you learn to tune it out, yo.

[disastergirl]

[She cracked a tiny grin.]

Is that because you can't help it, or because you don't want to change the way you talk?

[skaterbrain]

/Mostly 'cause my parents are freaking annoying./

Both. I can't really change it so why try t--

/Oh./

Ngh...oh, uh. ...Sorry, I guess.

[disastergirl]

[Her grin became a bit strained in response. Parents, huh...?] It's fine.

So we're in agreement, then? I'll talk my way and you can talk your way.

[skaterbrain]

...Yeah, guess so. Just, yanno, explain stuff if I don't get it?
