.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 ]

[ he just. glances around. and looks a little less than impressed. ]

[but but

cost of living here

soooo much cheaper

....okay yeah I can totally sympathize with Bunny boy 8|]


If you're looking for a place to stay, you can sign up for housing at the Welcome Center. There's no rent or anything like that; you just have to see which apartments are open and pick out whatever one you want. I'm on the top floor of community housing 7. [She points at a building that can be seen just beyond the school.]

[ .. he's a rich kid okay money isn't an issue for him. dead parents pay for everything. you know you miss the luxuries of city life okay. he follows the line of her arm and squints at the building in the distance. ]

Right, thank you. You've been very helpful.

[ he's such a warm, friendly guy, even to his fellow heroes, eh. 8| ]

[Yeah, Barnaby's about as warm as an popsicle in Antarctica. I totally did not just typo that as "poopsicle"]

Do you know where the Welcome Center is? You probably passed it on your way here...

[ HE CAN'T HELP IT if it helps he's more comfortable around you than he is around all these other weirdos okay. though being alone is still always preferable. poopsicle.... ]

Ah, no, I haven't seen it yet, but I'll be meeting up with Kotetsu soon enough, I'm sure he'll show me where it is.

[ assuming he didn't forget. or doesn't get them lost.

.. On second thought, I suppose it wouldn't hurt for you to point me in the right direction.

It's not far, don't worry!

[This time she gestures in the direction of the bakery.]

Just past the bakery, you'll find it. There's a memorial garden right near it.

[Pao-lin nods with a smile.]

It's no problem at all! If you ever need anything, just call me over the journal, okay? [Because you know Barnaby will totally need this zappy little tomboy loli to come save his ass one day.]
