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?

...I guess so, you've got plenty of time though, so there's no big rush. I take you're new her then?

[Missile meanwhile has figure this may be a bit and has taken to sitting patiently off to the side.]

Do I? From what I hear, people get "droned" all the time! How do I know that won't be me tomorrow? I can't miss this chance.

Yeah, I am. Ha, I guess it's really obvious, huh?

Usually folks get droned for breaking some kind of rule this town has made up. Otherwise it's just random and you're pretty much right about that. But you'd be surprise how much time you have sometimes. Well, as long as you're not one to make a lot of noise, I guess.

But obvious or not, at least you're taking it rather well. Lots of folks get pretty angry about finding themselves here.

[Why was this guy acting like this? Aurora cocks her head curiously.] Are you in charge around here?

Oh, well, being kidnapped isn't so great, but this place is pretty nice anyway! I've always wanted to be human. So many things I wanted to try.

[derp-detective.livejournal.com]

In charge? No way, I wouldn't do anything like this to folks. I mean, it seems nice and quiet now, but this place is pretty much a prison.

...Wait, human? You weren't human before you came here?

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

Oh, good, because I was getting worried there for a second. People have told me a few things about those awful people.

No, I was a ghost.

[derp-detective.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've heard a bunch of stuff too...

A ghost? Really? Wait, then how did you end up here? Why I hear it, most people go to bed, get knocked out, or lose conscious and then wake up here. I can't imagine a ghost sleeping or something...

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

I wish I knew. You're right, I don't sleep, and yet I woke up here! It was a strange feeling. I guess since Mayfield found a way to turn me human, they figured out a way to make me sleep as well.

[derp-detective.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, that's sure strange. And pretty worrying. It's like that means this town can grab anyone from anywhere at anytime no matter what.

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

I know! It's so strange. It makes me wonder why.

[derp-detective.livejournal.com]

I think a lot of people have theories. I sometimes think this place just likes to toy with us and has a horrible sense of humor about it. I try not to dwell on it though.

Oh, but if you're human now, don't forget to sleep occasionally, it's really dangerous not to, alright?

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

Sleep! Yes, right. And eat. And take showers. And... what else?

[derp-detective.livejournal.com]

Hrrm. Brush your teeth after a meal?

Oh, maybe get a watch to help you keep track of time? I always wondered if ghosts paid much attention to time, you know? If you never had to sleep or worry about dying, I figured you wouldn't worry about running out of time, right?

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

Oh that's right. Yes, that's a little tricky. I think I have one of those back at the house. Thanks for all your help!

No problem, if you need anything, feel free to ask!
