variety is the spice of life

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.

[The little ant dude is shouting at him and running away. Probably to alert the ant mothership!!! He has to stop the little person before Beat gets kidnapped into space or something. Lunging forward, he swipes at Erica, trying to sweep her off her feet and into his cupped hands.]

C'mere!

[Eep! When she sees the hand coming for her, Erica sprints as fast as she can to get away- But to no avail! She ends up kneeling down in Beat's hands, waiting to see what will happen next now that she's been caught. She could try fighting her way out of his grasp, but even though he's wrong about her being an ant person she wouldn't want to hurt him.

Should Beat look in his hands to check on her, he'll find her on her knees with her hands together as though she's praying. Please don't drop her mid-prayer. Or squish her like the ant person she isn't. She's seen ants at this size ok, they are terrifying, and that's the last thing she is.]

[He can't see the tiny ant person running anymore and so he cautiously opens his hands a bit to see if he did, in fact, catch them. That said, this usually results in whatever he caught running away, but ant people can't fly so looking shouldn't be bad right? As long as the ant person doesn't shoot him in the face or something, that is.

Beat's pretty surprised to see that the ant person isn't a guy, but a girl upon closer inspection. He blinks and opens his hands a little more, noticing that she's doing something with her hands. Magic?]

...What're you doin'?

Praying in the hope that you won't hurt me. [... So she can't help but notice that Beat's hands are open and that he doesn't seem all that intent on crushing her. That's good!] Have you maybe had a sudden change of heart and now you want to help me out?

[If so, thank you God for answering her prayers. She really didn't fancy the idea of being squished while being mistaken for an ant person.]

....But you ant people're tryin' to abstruct me or somethin', ain't you? How come you think I'm gonna hurt you?

[Because obviously his size is not an issue to invading ant people from outer space. Or under the earth. Maybe they're more mole people than ant people.]

I'm sorry, but I'm not an ant person. [... Who knows why she's apologising for that.] But I don't think any ants would do anything to you so long as you leave them alone!

[Ants really aren't that bad, are they? Maybe they're a little bothersome at picnics. And when you're small enough for ants to be kind of scary. Anyway-]

As for hurting me, well, when you shouted and jumped towards me I thought it was my time to be called into heaven.

Ants won't, but ant people would. But if you ain't an ant person...what are you?

And why would heaven call you? They ain't got phones there.

[Seriously, tiny person, you are confusing him so badly and now he feels bad because wow, he almost crushed you and you aren't actually....a bad person. Huh.]

[It seems Erica needs a moment to look down at herself to answer that question.] I am a person! [... Helpful.] Ah, a human person who is normally a lot larger than this. [Better.]

And what I meant is... It would be very expensive to be called from heaven wouldn't it? [Wow, those long distance calls, that would be a nightmare for your phone bill. Maybe the rates are good up there? Perhaps there's no charge... Wait, she's getting sidetracked. She laughs sheepishly to herself while rubbing the back of her head.] Well, that doesn't matter now!

A person...? But then how'd you get small?

[Because he's pretty sure people can't just get big and small at will. Everything this ant lady says is just confusing him more.]

An' I already said Heaven ain't got phones so it don't matter what it'd cost.

Look, are you an ant person who kidnapped me here or ain't you?

... I wish I knew myself. [Haha. Aah. It's tough being tiny.] I thought it might be the angels playing a different kind of trick on me, but I'm not so sure. When I see Father again I'll have to ask him about this, and phones as well!

[There must be some way for everyone in heaven to communicate over long distances, she's sure of it!]

And no, I wasn't the person who kidnapped you. Ah, are you new here, is that why you're asking that?

[If he is then she totally has a welcome speech all planned out for when she meets new people!]

...Why'd your Dad know about angels? [Oh my God. Wait, what? His hands tremble slightly.]

Oh crap, am I dead? Is that why? Are you like a... girl Jesus or somethin'???

[Well, Father knows about all sorts of things so- Beat why is your hand shaking?]

Ah, no! You're not dead, even if you might think you are the truth is you aren't! [WELL as far as she knows anyway.] And I'm definitely nothing like that, I'm only a nun of the church!!

Look, I dunno what to think! I woke up here with wings n' a headache and the last thing I remember was goin' through Shibuya an' this ain't Shibuya. And I don't know any nuns, but ain't they supposed to show up when you're dead?!

[And he is so freaking out now. HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE DEAD, TINY ANT LADY!!]

[BEAT NO DON'T FREAK OUT especially while she's still being held like this!!]

In that case, the first thing you need to think is that you are not an angel!! [Talking from experience there. It's very important to know that!] And you're right, this isn't Shibuya, it's Luceti! ... I'd like to hear about Shibuya when you have the time! [Erica, now really isn't a good time for that-] Lastly, nuns show up for much more than just that! They'll come to you when you're alive as well!!

W-what, so I'm a devil? I wasn't that bad, was I?!

[Wait, wtf. Heaven isn't called Luceti. His freakout stops for a minute, distracted by the new word.]

...What's a Luceti?

I don't know how bad you were in the past, but you can't be a devil!

[If he was then she's sure this conversation would have ended far earlier than this, since she imagines a devil would have squashed her by now..]

This is a Luceti. [...] This is Luceti? I think this is the only Luceti out there...

How d'you know? Are you a devil? I thought you said you was a nun.

Is Luceti where nuns come from?
