no event, i already don't know wtf i'm doing with this lady

[sonatadespair]

*In the GX-era Domino harbor, there is a short lady who may or may not look familiar perched on a ledge. Feel free to approach. Or, if you just happen to be passing by, you may hear a deadpan voice calling after you:*

Oi. You.

[Candy has come out to the docks to look at the boats: her current Monster World campaign involves a floating dungeon. Clearly this means she needs to research!

So she's lost in thought, sketching away, when a voice nearly makes her jump out of her skin.]

Ah!

H-hello?

[She looks up in its direction.]

[sonatadespair]

Come here, girl.

*HELLO LITTLE GIRL like she isn't a tiny shrimp herself.*

[creamfluffed]

Ah, y-yes....can I help you....?

[She approaches slowly, a little wary.]

[sonatadespair]

Tell me where this is.

[creamfluffed]

The harbor? Or---

[She looks around and shrugs, a bit sheepish.]

I don't really know!

They say it's Domino City, but some things are just weird.

Everybody's been pretty nice, though......so if you're lost too, I wouldn't worry!

[Big dumb grin. To hide how unsure she is - it is kind of odd to answer "I don't know" to that, huh?]

[sonatadespair]

"Domino City"? Never heard of it.

So you're lost, girl?

*Lala, ignoring any notion that SHE's lost too.*

[creamfluffed]

Ah, nope!

[Grin.]

Or, uh. Maybe? I can probably get back to the apartments....

Hey, if you just got here, do you want to head there? Everybody else is, too.

[sonatadespair]

Who's "everybody else"?

[creamfluffed]

My neighbors, mostly...from the hotel. They came too.

Oh, but maybe you didn't do the hotel first.....this is complicated!

[Such fretting.]

A-anyway, the important thing is, people understand if you're a little lost! And they want to help! So!

A-anyplace you want to - try and find....if I can....

s-so what if i picked up threads from 5 months ago...

[sonatadespair]

I want to go back where I was. I have important business to attend to. Saving the world and so on.

*Yes, this tiny surly woman sure looks like a likely hero.*

HELLO THAR

[fatesoclear]

...yes?

[She was just wandering the shoreline on her "what is this world"-baffled exploration, why call her out?

Even if you are a... vaguely familiar sight?]

yooo

[sonatadespair]

*Well, she certainly doesn't show any sign of knowing you.*

I need directions.

aka Papyrus

[fatesoclear]

[Well, forgive her for not coming right over, Miss "Looks like a flirty salad stealer she knows".]

I doubt I could be of much help- I do not know this place.

[sonatadespair]

How troublesome. Do you often get lost?

*...She says, as if she didn't just need help herself.*

[fatesoclear]

In cities strange to me, yes.

-are you saying you would never lose your way in a foreign place? That's an impressive feat.

[sonatadespair]

I wouldn't know. I've never been in one.

[fatesoclear]

-you've never traveled somewhere new?

Or never a place like this?

[sonatadespair]

I always make sure to know my location in detail.

*...Until now.*

[fatesoclear]

I take it you're attempting that now?

We have to both explore first, before we know it.

[anangryinch]

[She had almost, almost gotten used to the madness of the hotel, and now she was.. back?

Domino harbor looked pretty familiar, but who could know with that damned place?

She hasn't seen anyone she recognized so far, but... ugh, what NOW.]

Eh?

[She glances back over her shoulder and up, following the direction of the voice.]

[sonatadespair]

*What. >:s*

What are you supposed to be.

*Your clothes look dumb!!!*

[anangryinch]

[uhh baggy sweaters and jeans are awesome. What are YOU wearing?

She eyeballs the woman and snorts. She looks vaguely familiar, somehow, and it bothers her. She can't decide if you're hot or if she hates you already.]

What am I supposed to be? Perhaps the shrew acting like a misplaced gargoyle isn't the one who should be asking that.

[sonatadespair]

*A bathing suit. Or at least it sure looks like one.*

I can't say I care for being told what I "should" do.

[anangryinch]

[Well at LEAST you're courteous enough to be eyecandy.]

And I don't care for fielding questions from nosy strangers, so I suppose now it's only a question of who's ire is raised more.

[She's trying to behave herself a LITTLE bit since, as far as she knows, she's back in the real world where it isn't as safe and consequence-free to just fling knives at people or brag about being an Egyptian ghost.]

[sonatadespair]

Well, when you put it that way... You should just surrender right now.

[anangryinch]

Surrender?

[She snorts and folds her arms, glowering up at the stranger.]

You'll have to do far more than be a trifling irritation before I succumb to the likes of you, girl.

[You look pretty puny anyway.]

[sonatadespair]

Very impressive.

*Not really.*

Are you done?

[anangryinch]

[She curls her lip slightly.]

Quite.

[She turns on her heel to leave.]

[sonatadespair]

*Um rude!!!!*

Wait.

[anangryinch]

[For SOME reason, maybe because you ARE kinda cute, she stops and scowls back over her shoulder.]

Eager to waste more of my time, are you?

[sonatadespair]

I just need information.

[anangryinch]

Oh?

[She folds her arms tightly and there's something awfully SMUG about the way her stance shifts. She's DEFINITELY trustworthy.]

[sonatadespair]

*YOU SURE ARE.*

Don't even think about it. I'll know if you lie.

[anangryinch]

Lie? How rude. You've no basis to assume so little of my character.

[She wrinkles her nose and flicks invisible dirt off of her shirt.]

[sonatadespair]

You're a human, aren't you? That's all I need to know about your character.

[anangryinch]

Tch. And what are you meant to be, then? [She eyes Dahlia up and down. your boobs look suspicious]

[sonatadespair]

*Uh!!! My boobs are SAINTS.*

I've been called a goddess.

*Because that's what she WANTED people to think, but. Details.*
