Action | 1646 Albright Lane

[ Before Bella even opens her eyes, she feels like something's off. It's a little bit too bright, the weight of her cat isn't on her stomach, and the blankets on top of her don't feel quite right. She opens her eyes and... screams.

Great, she's gotten kidnapped again.

She examines every single bit of the room, from the out-of-date clothes in the closet to the family photos of herself and people who totally aren't her family.

After a short bit of praying and trying not to cry, she grabs a heavy textbook from the bookshelf and ventures out into the rest of the house.

Careful, household, she's ready to use her makeshift weapon in a moments notice. ]



Action | All around town

[ She found the least offensive thing in her closet to wear this morning, but she still looks like somebody ran over her cat. She's all over town today, exploring her new surroundings. You might hear her muttering to herself, things about God, her cat, and clothes.

She doesn't look very happy, but feel free to approach her. ]



Phone

... Does this thing even work?

AAA! aka Action; All Around! Come all the fabulous!

[watchthenails]

[ Wow, there's one unhappy-looking person. Wait was that something about clothes?

He simply got to say hi to her now. ] My, you are one ray of bright sunshine. [ ...well that's one way to say hello. ]

ALL the fabulous! <3! These two will be the Fabulous Duo

[thenewnancydrew]

[ Wow, okay, have the most unamused look ever. ]

I just woke up sixty years in the past. Excuse me if I'm not my usual perky self.

With all the shiny~ Let's steal all of Chitose's sparkles!

[watchthenails]

Why of course, who could be happy with their hair in such a mess. [ Because that matters more than finding yourself in the wrong place, obviously. ] And Mayfield's clothes certainly doesn't flatter you.

Yessss, all the sparkles! :D

[thenewnancydrew]

[ Oh... somebody who might know what they're talking about.

She picks up a lock of her hair to examine it. ]

With all of my stuff at home, I wasn't able to do much with my hair. [ Yep, it's in its natural wavy state. ] And fifties clothes? Ew.

he's got enough to spare anyway!

[watchthenails]

May I? [ Her answer doesn't really matter, since he reaches out to feel her hair. ] I think I can help you with this.

I know, they really are awful. [ At least he's got his tennis uniform back. Though he'd like his regular clothes back as well thankyouverymuch Mayfield. ] You will get your own clothes back at one point. I can't say when though.

lmao, word!

[thenewnancydrew]

[ She doesn't take a step back, exactly, but she does pull her head back in a startled way. Not used to strange boys touching her hair. :| ] You can?

Ugh. Now would be nice. It's bad enough I've been kidnapped and brought... here. Now I don't even have nice clothes to wear.

sparkle war!

[watchthenails]

[ Nothing weird about that. At least not to Taki, he's had many people react that way. ] Oh yes. Hair is a very important part of your body after all. Just like nails.

There is a pony known as Rarity who makes clothes. Right now she is busy with making clothes for prom, but I am sure she would be willing to help you out while you wait for your own wardrobe. [ Wardrobes in Taki's case. ]

Around Town

[bailedontheempire]

Something troubling you, miss?

[thenewnancydrew]

[ A blank look. ]

Not at all. I enjoy waking up in unfamiliar places. Really.

[bailedontheempire]

So you are a newcomer, then. My sympathies, it can be quite disconcerting.

[thenewnancydrew]

Yeah, you're tellin' me. This? [ She tugs her dress out as if to present it. ] Is ridiculous.

[bailedontheempire]

Yes, the clothing here is rather... limited.

[He gestures vaguely. Sweater vests are not really his thing]

Has anyone gone over the basics with you?

[thenewnancydrew]

[ She's only met one person who can pull of sweater vests, sadly. ]

Yes. No. Kind of. [ She sighs. ] I keep getting bits and pieces that don't quite fit together.

Phone

[koyo]

It certainly sounds like it does.

Phone

[thenewnancydrew]

Oh! [ Okay, you surprised her. ] Huh. Okay. Uh, how does it work, exactly?

[koyo]

How does what? The telephone? You put in a few numbers and voila! That's all you really have to do. Unless you mean something else?

[thenewnancydrew]

[ She knows how regular phones work. ] No, I mean.... I didn't have to dial any numbers. I just talked and clearly, someone heard me.

[koyo]

Well, you could always dial a specific number and see who you get too!

[thenewnancydrew]

[ A thought occurs to her. ]

Can you call people from your home?

[ Because, man, she really wants to talk to her mom right now. ]

Action | All around town

[nanocerancowboy]

[See this apparent guy-covered-head-to-toe-in-armor? He's stopped in his tracks and is watching you wander about muttering—for a few moments, at least. Then he approaches to within conversational distance.]

Howdy, ma'am—everything alright?

[thenewnancydrew]

[ Wait, why are you wearing armor? Weird. ]

Yeah, everything's just peachy. I love waking up in an unfamiliar town about sixty years in the past.

[ She's being hostile because she's scared and confused. She'll probably feel bad about it later. ]

[nanocerancowboy]

[And his voice has a mechanical echo, too!]

You ain't th' only one who's been kidnapped. Most us folks livin' here were taken from all different times an' places.

[A beat. Her saying she's in a town sixty years in her world's past makes Gat think of Kono. She'd said similarly, which means—]

I ain't even from th' same planet as ya'll are.

[thenewnancydrew]

You also don't have a grasp on basic English.

[ She stops there, closing her eyes and letting out a slow sigh. Kidnapped or not, she's got to make the best out of a bad situation. God wouldn't want her acting like this, would He? ]

You're from a different planet? [ This time her tone is less snappish and more of a strained calm. ]

[nanocerancowboy]

[Gat tilts his head slightly, as if in appraisal. That'd be the first time anyone's ever taken a shot at his manner of speech. If it offended him, though, he's not showing it.]

I am. I ain't human, either.

[thenewnancydrew]

[ She mutters something about dress-making ponies and talking animals. ]

Then what are you?
