.oo1 // ACTION + VOICE

[ it smells like dirt.

barnaby isn't particularly fond of dirt. or grass. or nature. oh sure, it can be nice to take a stroll in the park, or even maybe, i dunno, have a picnic out in a meadow or something, but other than that he's not much of an outdoor guy. trees and forests, what do. he is not okay with this.

but more importantly, this ache at his back. what the f- oh. what. wait what. wings? violently pink wings, at that? and they function? what is going on, and where are his clothe-- oh, they're right there, folded nearly in the grass beside him, augh if there are grass stains on his good leather jacket he might cut a bitch. also this book, that looks like a journal. this is all pretty bizarre and very suspicious, and immediately barnaby's mind is filled with thoughts of kidnapping and NEXT and conspiracy theories, but it just doesn't seem right. the last thing he remembers is sternbild, maverick, the androids .. well, not that barnaby's memory is really anything to rely on, but it just doesn't feel right.

but since barnaby doesn't function on feelings he needs to figure something out. this book will probably help. it doesn't take him long to figure out just how this thing works; it's a network, of sorts, only written by hand, which is really strange and raises even more questions, but it's all he has to go on. but first he's going to .. put his actual pants and belt and boots back on, and frown around at all these trees, and he doesn't mind tearing holes in his black tee shirt to accommodate the wings but no way is he maiming his precious jacket. so he just slings it over his arm and talks at this journal thing while walking toward wherever the trees seem thinnest. ]


VOICE;

Excuse me, but could someone direct me to a tailor?

[ or a town. PRIORITIES. ]

[ ooc; he's actually right on the edge of town somewhere nearish/behind the grocery store so IF YOU WANT TO FIND HIM WANDERING THAT IS COOL and hello luceti be gentle with me. o7 ]

[ it doesn't take all that long to get there, considering he wasn't too far to begin with, and the layout of this town doesn't seem exactly complicated. he's got his jacket over his arm and he's still flipping through the journal when he steps out into the plaza.

aaaand she's not entirely difficult to spot in that yellow suit. barnaby shuts the journal as he approaches, and rests a hand on his hip. ]


I'm sorry if I've kept you waiting.

[ do you seriously think he'd. try and rip the wings off. when they are obviously attached to him now.

honestly. ]


I'm heading into town to meet up with Dragon Kid.

[I DON'T KNOW, I'm just trying to be helpful here.]

Oh, that's good. We can find you an apartment, too; they have a few buildings with 'em. They all share kitchens, though.

[It's so uncool.]

... But at least all the food's free...?

[Pao-lin glances up at Barnaby's approach. She shuts her book and stands up, smiling at him. Good, he's at least clothed. That means they can focus on other things.]

It's no problem! I wasn't doing anything too important today. And...it's good to see other people from Sternbild here.

[ barnaby looks dubious. something just isn't sitting right, and now that they're face to face he can ask his questions freely. ]

You say that as if you've been here for some time.

[Voice]

[identity profile] mindgooshed.livejournal.com 2011-11-06 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ jeez this is a lot to take in at once. ]

Free? How is that possible?

[Are you ready for trippy-ass timey-wimey action, Bunny boy?]

Um, yeah, since the middle of September, I think. So that'd be about a month and a half, I think. [Only that long? She feels as though she's been here forever.]

No problem. [ he's the absolute best.

though he thinks it over. kasuka always said he should help people. ]
If you need a guide I could probably take ten minutes off.

I'm not sure how it works, but the stores sort of... self-stock themselves...

[Dude, it's true. They were out of his favorite cereal the first night and then the second night POW, delicious sugary goodness all lined up like it'd never been touched.

CRAZY STUFF.]


This whole place is pretty weird. I'm still not sure of a lot of things.

[That's an awfully familiar voice. More Heroes. Just what he needed. But that confirmed some of his suspicions about Luceti, really.] Mr. Brooks. You'll find several shops for that nearer the center of town.

A guide? [ he shakes his head even though you .. can't see it. ] That's a generous offer, but I don't want to interrupt your work. Thank you, though.

[ HE IS CONFUSED ALREADY. ]

That .. isn't possible. I was just with you, less than an hour ago.

[Voice]

[identity profile] mindgooshed.livejournal.com 2011-11-06 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
Stock themselves? [ you are such a gullible old man. ] Impossible. Someone has to be stocking them, even if you never see them.

[ HE DOESN'T BELIEVE IT, barnaby is much too logical for that. ]

This .. Malnosso. What do you know about them?

[ OUROBOROS?? ]

[Voice] oh snap

[identity profile] mindgooshed.livejournal.com 2011-11-06 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ that's a voice he didn't expect to hear. ]

Judge Petrov? [ he's unsure but he THINKS THAT'S YOU, he hasn't heard your voice nearly as much as you've heard his, he'd wager. ]

[She shakes her head.]

Time is really weird here in Luceti. The Malnosso -- the people who kidnapped us -- can take people from any point in their world's time. So...I'm actually from about a year later, from your point of view.

[She'd always known it was a weird thing, but actually being confronted with it herself, with people that she knows, is another thing entirely.]

[oh my gosh get over the ouroboros thing

it's not always ouroboros]


Mmm... [He itches the back of his head, a clear sign that troubled words are a-brewin'.] They don't seem to be connected to anything in Sternbild. In fact—we're not even on earth anymore.

[Yeah. Try figuring that out.]

We're sort of in a different universe.

[ he'd question her, but what reason does she have to lie to him over something like this? i mean, of course he could cook up some sort of reason, but it just doesn't seem likely.

a power like that, though .. incredible. ]


I see. What else do you know about them?

[Voice]

[identity profile] mindgooshed.livejournal.com 2011-11-06 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ how about he just punches you in the face. what if ouroboros killed your wife and kid how would you feel then huh. ]

What? How is that possible? Are you sure you aren't mistaken, Kotetsu?

[ not because he doesn't trust you, but because that just seems so outlandish. ]

[She holds out a hand.]

I can show you the guide to Luceti in your journal. It'll explain most of it.

[HEY, hey, now you're just making it personal.]

I'd like to be, but everyone here's been telling me that's the gist of it. It's like some crazy sci-fi movie, or something. This place is surrounded by this big barrier, and anyone trying to get out can't break it. Even people with powers.

So we're kinda' prisoners.

[He, uh, won't mention how they kidnap people to experiment on them, or the draft, yet. It's a little much, ain't it?]

Thank you.

[ that's the point. B| CHANGES YOUR PERSPECTIVE, HUH. ]

.. I see.

[ he's just gonna. fall silent and try to absorb all of this. it's a lot to think about. ]

[Pao-lin opens it and begins flipping through it. She'll find this entry before giving it back to Barnaby.]

I've bookmarked this entry for you. It talks about the Malnosso, the journals, the experiments, and a bunch of other things. [She simpers.] There's definitely a lot to go through, so whenever you have questions, just ask me! [She smiles proudly. She's so glad to be able to help out the Heroes here!]

[ wait. buzz word. ]

I'm sorry, i may have heard you wrong -- experiments?
