.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 ]

[ nope, he's a city kid all the way through, princess. dirt is .. dirty. but he didn't grow up in toad town, so!

oh she is very pink he can appreciate that, and such an attractive hairstyle, too. but barnaby isn't really thinking about those sorts of things and goodness that dress is very.. ornate. hm. but anyway, he snaps the journal shut because it's the polite thing to do. ]


Oh- I'm sorry. I didn't mean to disturb you.

[Glad you liked her smooth, silky hair. She'll definitely share her secrets with Barnaby when they become friends.

But for now, to tackle the task at hand.]


Not a problem. I was just strolling around. I'll be glad to help. [She smiles warmly.] I take... you just arrived here, right?

[ barnaby slides the journal into his back jeans pocket and stands straight, draping his jacket over his arm. ]

It seems that way. Is this a .. common occurrence?

Actually, yes. Everytime, around the start of the month, people seem to drift here, with no rela explanation.

Oh, yeah, the tailor! You can ask me whatever you want as I take you to town. [She offers him a smile.]

I see. That's very kind, thank you.

[ it's a lot to take in, but for now, one step at a time. he steps forward, offering his right hand. ]

My name is Barnaby. Barnaby Brooks Jr. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

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.]

[identity profile] mindgooshed.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
.. Yes, I was named for my father. [ SORE SPOT OKAY so he doesn't venture further down that path, he just smiles blandly and gives her hand a gentle shake before straightening. ]

Good to meet you, Peach. Have you been here long?

[She knows a lot about dead parents because, welp, she doesn't have hers anymore. But it wasn't something, tragic... They just got old.]

Well... I've been here for two months or so. I know it sounds an awful long time, but from what I hear time doesn't pass back home, while we are here, so it's some consolation.
