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?

No way. I could never do that to someone! That's be a pretty mean thing to do, though I do know ghosts who do that.

[vitalizes.livejournal.com]

But what if ya broke shit dat belonged t'someone who was real mean t'ya before ya died? How would it be mean then?

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

Oh, well... If I remembered anyone from when I was alive, then maybe? But since I don't, I have no way of knowing who was mean or nice to me.

[vitalizes.livejournal.com]

Dat really sucks.

Man, I hope I don't ever turn inta a ghost. At first I thought it was cool but now it sounds kinda lame. Forgettin' crap and all.

Heh, least when I die at work I come right back!

[Starts laughing]

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

You what? How does that happen?

[vitalizes.livejournal.com]

Uh, I dunno the details. But at my work when I die I re-spawn. So I don't really die. I come right back!

It's pretty freakin' sweet for me, but I hate how the guys I kill come back too.

Anyway, it's not t'say I die a lot there, cause I don't. It's real rare. Like a blue moon.

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

Wow, I don't think I've ever heard that before.

Wait, you kill people too?

[vitalizes.livejournal.com]

Only BLUs!

[He swings his legs as he says this. He's been still for too long and he feels like he needs to get down from the tree soon and run. Or do something active.]

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

Blue whats?

[vitalizes.livejournal.com]

Uh, guys workin' for BLU. I don't feel like explainin' all'a that right now.

[Starts to climb down the tree and stops halfway for a brief moment to say something else.]

I'm gonna go home and get somethin' t'eat.

[Scout finishes getting down from the tree and as soon as his feet hit the ground, he begins to run in place.]

Can't sit still for long! Hah! Uh, guess I'll talk to ya later --- [Pause] What's yer name again?

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

[She wrinkles her nose at him, unsatisfied with him dodging the question.]

I'm Aurora.

[vitalizes.livejournal.com]

'M Scout. I'll catch ya sometime later!

[He says that and then runs back toward his house.]
