| FIRST LEVEL | And here it begins

[liesofmc]

[ACTION 1]

[Well, this is an interesting situation. Entity, having woken up in some bizarre, unknown place, has decided to do the most sane thing in his head.

He's climbing up around on roofs in his pajamas, displaying some surprising balance skills as he hunts around for... something or other. What he wants isn't exactly clear, but it's either bright or he's going ADHD, because anything that even remotely sparkles quickly has his attention. And if that sparkly thing happens to belong to you, well, you'd better move quick, because unless it's right in your hands, he's trying to take it with him.]


[ACTION 2]

[As if his random bout of going through anything his hands could get on wasn't enough, now the kid is trying to... well, take part of the picket fences. He's alternating between digging at the bottoms of individual pickets, attempting to claw up the ground enough to loosen them, and yanking at them proper, struggling to dislodge them from their position.

Yes, ladies and gentleman. This kid is trying to steal your fence.]

[And here Yosuke thought it was going to be a normal day by Mayfield standards. Then, on the walk home, he came across some kid trying to steal a fence]

[He has to double take and blink a few times just to be sure he hasn't lost his mind, but nope, he sure is trying to take that fence. For a moment, he can only gape, but soon enough his curiosity gets the best of him and he has to approach]

I... you... you're taking a fence? Really?

[Maybe this IS a normal Mayfield day]

[liesofmc]

[The kid acts like some sort of wild animal when Yosuke approaches -- that is, he flips his shit, falls over, and scrambles behind the fence in a sheer panic. He does not like being surprised, apparently.

After a moment, however, he peers out from behind the fence, blue eyes staring at Yosuke in some mix of fascination and distrust.]

[princeofjunes]

[Well, that wasn't normal in the slightest. It takes every ounce of his courage to not panic at the sudden movement, but thankfully he just flinches momentarily. Once shit is done being flipped and everything seems comparatively calm, he isn't sure what to do. Is this kid feral or something? How is he supposed to deal with this?]

[Well, he'll try diplomacy first, staying where he is but crouching down a bit]

Hey, sorry to scare you, but... are you alright?

[liesofmc]

[He's being watched very carefully, but since the movement isn't all that threatening, the kid seems calmed... at least a bit.

He looks at Yosuke a bit confusedly, as if he doesn't understand the question.]

...Al...right...?

[His voice is... incredibly raspy. It's like this kid hasn't talked in years, and that's just from parroting Yosuke.]

[Mason stares at the kid who's currently on the roof of his house. What is he doing there? And why didn't he think of that?]

Hey! What are you doin' up there?

[liesofmc]

[The kid pauses for a second, looking around, then up, then around again. He doesn't seem to think that Mason might be below him, apparently, and resumes his search for shiny things.]

[cliffsidedowser]

I'm down here. [What does this kid think was talking to him, a bird?] I kind of live in that house, so you better not be messin' it up!

[liesofmc]

[He looks down...

...and proceeds to look freaked out for a moment or two. After a bit of scrambling so he doesn't go careening off the roof, he crouches down, staring at Mason distrustfully and fearfully.

It's almost like he thinks Mason is some sort of monster...]

[roadroller]

[you could say that Rin's in a bad mood from being a zombie the other day... except that by 'bad mood', it's 'no mood.' It seems that being revived has caused a 'glitch' in her personality that doesn't allow her to feel emotions - instead, she's in a drone-like state of fake happiness.

So she will just kind of stand there and smile brightly as she watches him try to take their fence.]

Wow! Are you remodeling? ♪

[liesofmc]

[Oh geeze! He was just in the midst of pulling too and apparently doing a good job of it because that picket just came off and sent him falling straight on his pajama'd behind.

The pain of it makes Rin momentarily forgotten as he kicks the picket away, promptly going to rub his foot afterwards. Owwww.]

[roadroller]

Ha ha ha!! You'll get a splinter that way! ♪

[liesofmc]

[Oh right, there's some... strange yellow lady here. Rin has the kid's attention now, a mix of curiosity and wariness. He doesn't know what she is or wants, but she hasn't tried to rip his face off yet, so he's apparently willing to stick around.]

[does a sparkly person count?

having been hit with one of Quinn's glitter mines, Once-ler is, yet again, continuing his walk home. he's dragging his guitar behind him, equally coated with sparkly pink glitter, the most miserable, irritated look plastered to his face. things can't possibly get any worse, right?]

[liesofmc]

[Does the small kid trying to take your guitar right from your hand count?

Because yes, a sparkly person does count but the guitar is pink and pink is a color he knows well.]

[truffulacide]

[WHAT DO YOU KNOW, HE STANDS CORRECTED.]

What the - HEY!

[this is the weirdest pickpocket attempt ever, but he can't really blame you if he's to be honest. it is a sweet guitar, glitter or not. given how you've gotten the drop on him, it's pretty easy to snatch it up, right out of his hands.]

[liesofmc]

[MORE SPARKLY GUITARS FOR THE SHINIES HORDE!

Yep, he's already off. CAN YOU CATCH HIM, THAT IS THE QUESTION!]

[calmingmelody]

[Wait a minute. Is that another, tiny roof rising up next to the big roof that you're standing on?

If you go to the edge of the roof to investigate, you will find what appears to be a huge sea creature, who is unintentionally wearing the puny-in-comparison doghouse she 'woke up' in as a hat.

And looking more than a bit confused.]

[liesofmc]

[Oh hey what is this.

No seriously, what is this? The kid is leaning over the edge of the house he's on, looking at the thing in bafflement and curiosity. It's so pretty!]

[calmingmelody]

[oh... it's a kid! Loosha blinks for a moment, because she is pretty confused about how she ended up here... and also for a long time only Arianna and Tony were supposed to see her, though she supposes those days were long over.

So hey, he saw her, why not say hello?]

Waaaaaaaaaay!

[Well that sure was an unusually high-pitched and cute voice for a creature her size. She must be happy to say hello! (She is.) ]

[action 1]

[swordwaitress]

[ Yachiyo is sitting outside sharpening and polishing her katana. It's quite shiny in the sun, but he probably doesn't want to steal something dangerous like that, right? ]

[liesofmc]

[You clearly underestimate how little this kid knows. The shiny blade does draw him over, but the fact that Yachiyo is holding it directly gives him a bit of pause.

Hope you don't mind the weird kid crouching above you trying to figure out how to steal your shiny sword, lady!]

[swordwaitress]

[ She doesn't notice him at first. Not until she sees him reflected in the blade.

She turns her head up towards him. ]

Oh, hello there.

[Barton walks out of the house, her large blue dog at her side. she stops, though, when she sees someone trying to... Wait, what are they trying to do?]

Hey.

What are you doing.

[liesofmc]

[Once again, he's surprised during his attempt to steal pickets from fences. He doesn't quite freak out this time, though, instead turning around with both his hands gripping the picket.

It's not Barton that gets his attention -- rather, now he's looking at her dog with a mix of curiousness and uncertainty. There are a lot of strange creatures in this place, aren't there?]

[soulless_soldier]

[She sounds mildly curious herself when she said that, but now she looks from the boy to the dog. Buster is a big, friendly-looking German Shephard... who also happens to be blue. Yep.]

He won't hurt ya, he's friendly. Why are ya takin' our fence?
