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

Action 1

[criticizes]

[ How many times is he going to wake up next to a random woman this month seriously. Anyway OK he sits up and looks around to make sure he is not in some hotel again. And then finally looks at her. ]

... Mm?

[forever_cheery]

[What a playboy you are, Norway. She wiggles her fingers in a greeting at him.]

Hi there. Um. Who are you, and where am I? I don't think we've met before.

[criticizes]

Norway. [ He hasn't seen the drone wife so that must make her... ]

In yer new house, 'pparently.

[forever_cheery]

Norway.... [Thinks for a moment.] Is that where you're from? My name's Aurora.

Apparently. But, um, there's a whole lot wrong here, so if you could just tell me where this house is, actually?

Action 2!

[pants_yourmove]

[[Blink.

Blink.]]

Hi... you must be new. Are you a robot?

[forever_cheery]

[Just hanging off a tree branch like it ain't no thing]

Hi! Everyone keeps saying that. Am I supposed to be walking around depressed, or with a vacant look to fit in? Is that it?

A robot? What's-- oh, no, I'm not a robot. I'm human, see?

[pants_yourmove]

No, you have to have a creepy smile and act as if this is all normal.

Yeah... and humans get hurt when they fall.

[[Just a friendly warning, remembering when he lept from a tree.]]

I mean, were you a robot before you came here? You kind of sound like one.

[forever_cheery]

Oh, well, I remember that part.

And I'm not a robot! Aren't they generally made of metal and plastic and look nothing like people at all?

[notlikethemovie]

Yeah I guess you can?

[Mika is staring at her blankly, her ears flicked back and her eyes wiiiiide as saucers.]

Lemme guess, you weren't humanoid at all before you got here, were you?

[forever_cheery]

Yeah! I think I can, too. I mean it looks hard but fun, too. [She looks around the tree for a good place to start.]

Oh, I was humanoid, sort of. I was a ghost. People not being human at first must be pretty common here, huh? You're the first person I've seen with ears and a tail like that. It's really cute!

[notlikethemovie]

A ghost? [Her eyes are huge for a moment as her ears are flat against her scalp.]

Well, I kinda got them back after a huge mess but yeah, looking like me isn't really normal.

[forever_cheery]

Yep! Well, not at the moment, obviously. But that's okay. There's a lot of stuff I've always wanted to try as a human.

I've only been here for a few hours, but "normal" seems kinda relative in this place. I mean, even without seeing the people in town, there's a creepy blimp flying overhead, and there's a ferris wheel in someone's yard!

Action 2

[flowers_suck]

[Olivier assumes the overjoyed girl is a drone, that is until she asks about climbing a tree. A female drone would never climb a tree.]

You'll only know if you try.

[forever_cheery]

[Aurora's disposition will probably get her mistaken as a drone often. She holds up her fists and looks determined.]

Right! Of course! Okay, I can do this. [Off she goes! She has some trouble at first, but manages to get her footing and climbs up fairly deftly. This seems to surprise her.]

Wow, I thought that would be harder.

[flowers_suck]

[Olivier shakes her head in amusement.]

Have you never climbed a tree before?

[forever_cheery]

I don't think so. But it doesn't seem too hard, so maybe!

action 2

[notsaul]

[The parts about breathing and blinking? Don't even care. Climbing the tree, though? That gets Aurora a Look.]

Uh, I guess? Why the fuck would you want to, though?

[forever_cheery]

Because it looks like fun? Sitting up there in all the leaves, in the breeze... Oh, I wonder if there's any insects up there.

[Off she goes! It's a slow start, though. It was much easier when she just floated about everywhere.]
