.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 ]

Yeah, well...that's entirely possibly, too. Scary prospect, huh? I mean they have to know where we're at and what we're doing with our lives before they abduct us anyway.

I hope that request doesn't mean that you had an unfortunate encounter with a tree during your arrival-- I've heard stories of some New Feathers arriving partway up a tree, or worse.

Mmm. I suppose that shouldn't be terribly surprising. Who or whatever is behind this organization must be very powerful to have successfully created and maintained a place like this; it only follows that they'd be cautious enough to do the proper surveillance on their targets.

I .. no. I'm perfectly safe, on the ground.

[Mmmrrr. All of these top ones have fancy words. He can't even pronounce a few of these. But when the time finally comes to order he grins and points an index finger up--]

Chicken strips with fries!!

And a cola, please.

Nobody's really given you the rundown on the Malnosso yet?

I only just arrived about an hour ago, give or take, so no. I only know what I managed to glean fro the journals.

Yes. This is a good jacket, I don't want to ruin it, but clearly I can't wear it as is.

In that case, you should speak with Miss Shiki at All Passions. She's an excellent seamstress; modifications for the wings should pose no trouble at all to her.

When you get settled, take some time and check out the guide. It can answer pretty much everything probably in a way that makes more sense than I can. I mean if you left it up to me, it'd be "the Malnosso are a bunch of creepers that experiment on us while at the same time there are some that are helping us out."

And you can fold your wings down, I've got your measurements.

Yes, someone else recommended the same place; I have a few things to take care of, but I'll head over there soon. Thank you.

Just potato skins? Isn't that like... eating the banana peel instead of the banana? Why don't you get baked potatoes?

Right. I'll read through it soon, thank you.

Sure. I'll give you a call when I'm done with your jacket...I can have it done before the end of the day if you want to take a look around town and get your housing settled.

Ah, you take after your father's name then? That's really nice.

[She shakes his hand with a smile.]

I'm Peach. It's also a pleasure Mr. Brooks. [She bows her head a little out of habit.]
