1st Adventure

[forever_cheery]

[Action1 : 921 Bilko Blvd. Waking up is awfully strange, especially when you don't sleep. Aurora Belle sits up in the bed for a few moments, blinking in confusion. Everything around her was solid, as well. Was this some new fancy house in the Afterlife? They certainly never had pajamas before there. Or sleeping people.

Speaking of. Poke poke, sleeping man. There's a lovely new wife for you to wake up to.]

Hello! Hi. Um. I have a lot of questions for you, if you don't mind.

[After that, it's off to explore the house. She'll be gawking at the photos, poking the appliances, and generally touching anything and everything like it is all shiny, new and novel. This will lead to a phone call to everyone! There's a clattering sound as the receiver hits the ground.]

Oh no! Did I break it? What... How do these things work again? [Insert the sound of the receiver being fiddled with.]


[Later, Action 2: Aurora has taken to the streets to explore her surroundings. Despite any warnings she may have been given, she looks like she's having a grand old time. She looks positively giddy as she comes upon the park. She'll be stopping whoever passes by to share her joy with.]

Isn't. This. AMAZING? I had no idea that the sun felt like this! Or that the air smelled like this! [She breathes in and lets out a deep breath.] And that breathing is so easy! You don't even have to think about it or anything! Or blinking, either! Or a lot of things! Hey, do you think I can climb that tree?

In the milk? Why? That's awful.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

This place is awful. We're workin' on ways to get out of here but so far nothin's panned out.

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

Oh, good! I'd really like to get back. When someone where I'm from goes missing, it's really bad news. But that still doesn't explain razor blades in your milk.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

I don't really know how to explain it. We don't know if it's magic that lets the spiders live under the milk or technology. Razor blades could be just added at the factory.

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

That is really weird. Note to self, no drinking any milk here.

So, does anyone know why we've all been brought here? It seems like a really weird thing to do, and I can't think there isn't some reason for it.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Oh the milk from the store is just fine, it's just the bottles that arrive at your door every morning is the stuff you gotta watch out for.

And no one really knows. All we have is theories and stuff the town has said and contradicted. We don't know the whole story.

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

Right. Got it. No on the delivery milk. That's good, because I really wanted to try milk. So many people drink it, it must be really good.

"The town has said"? Do you mean other people here?

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Well, I kinda count the town, the drones, and the mayor and what not as all part of the same thing. Sorry.

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

I guess it's easier to say it that way.

What's the mayor like? Is he a drone?

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

No, but he is a powerful resident of this place and he works with whatever the hell is managing to bring us all here and whatnot.

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see. How terrible that he would do something like this to everyone... There's good points for me being here, but I want to get back eventually. And I'm most people here want to get back to their family and friends. Is anyone doing anything to fond a way out of here?

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

I know. Yeah, we're all trying various different ways to go out. I guess it just depends on what your flavour of group is.

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

What are people trying? Shouldn't everyone be working together? That would be easier, in the end.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Well, I know of at least one group, there's probably two or more.

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

Maybe I'll have to make a phone call or two. I'd really to help. I know I can do something to make this place better!

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

[Ken grinned at her] That's the spirit. A lot of people get kinda depressed when they hear about all the stuff this place pulls.

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

Well that will only make things worse, if you ask me.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

You can' force people to work together smoothly. We're lucky to have the groups that we do, and the fact that they aren't working really against each other.

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

I guess not... but you'd think that if everyone wanted to get out of here so badly, they'd work together harder!

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

I know what you mean. I hope it works out that we're just covering all bases then actively screwin' each other over.

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

I would sure hope so. I definitely would want to help, but it would be difficult if everyone was working against each other when they want to do the same thing. And weird, too!

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Well, There's a big main group that's startin' up again. You might wanna start there!

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

That sounds good! Do you know who I need to talk to?

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Well, there's a guy who is probably trying to regroup a previous organization. He seems to be the one who's going to have some luck. He's a huge guy with angel wings. You can't miss him!

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

Right, big guy with wings. [She doesn't remember what an angel is, but that's okay.] I'll ask around then. Thanks! You've been a lot of help.
