[ACTION; 837 Hastings Boulevard]

[Urgh. What time is it now? Her mother would probably be yelling at her to hurry up and get to school, but strangely, she can't hear her voice. Whatever, she's still half-asleep, so she takes a few moments to sit up, savoring her soft, soft bed ( Read more... )

dammit mayfield, what is this insanity, snowball faito!, in which there is snow, at least she's not in a skimpy costume, what is being a housewife

Sometimes the mayor gets really scared and then horrible things happen to the town. Other than that it is very nice, even if some of the people are mean.

[Helpful information from a talking bunny. What is her life.

...anyway, pushing the whole "talking bunny" thing out of her mind now. Info on this place is more important.]

What kind of horrible things?

Re: [Action; Around town] 39degreesc December 8 2011, 12:41:34 UTC

Well, two weeks ago the entire town was destroyed and a bunch of cannibals came in and started trying to eat everyone.

[Action; Around town] idolofice December 8 2011, 13:02:02 UTC

But...the town doesn't look destroyed to me.

[Here is, one innocent-looking boy. Who is sitting on a bench, reading a book, while listening to his MP3 player...not paying any attention to his surroundings.

What do?]

[Unsuspecting targets are the best. Karina readies her snowball, takes aim and throws it straight towards him.]

doudemoe December 8 2011, 20:31:41 UTC

[And it hits...although somehow it barely even phases him. He just looks away from his book with barely a discernible expression.]

idolofice December 9 2011, 05:12:52 UTC

[...huh?]

Hey! Don't just sit there, get out of here before you get hit again!

[Action Dec. 5th] zombee_slayer December 8 2011, 07:20:04 UTC

What? Has some loser been tellin' ya that it is?

idolofice December 8 2011, 13:03:49 UTC

Most of the town has. I got the short version when I woke up, though.

zombee_slayer December 8 2011, 18:35:02 UTC

Well most of this piss-hole would tell ya that.

idolofice December 9 2011, 05:11:47 UTC

So I've gathered. Anything I should know that isn't about how it's such a wonderful place?

[Booster spins, and nods in his full stupid outfit]

Well, its a creepy mind control factory that tries to break us so we're those drone thingies or do horrible things all the time? Do you want the full version, or just the sum up?

idolofice December 8 2011, 13:05:39 UTC

I've got a lot of time on my hands. Tell me everything I need to know.

[After that, she'll ask about the outfit. She's sure it's a superhero outfit, but there's a jarring lack of corporate logos.]

boostedfailure December 8 2011, 13:15:49 UTC

Ok. First off, I bet you woke up in some bed that wasn't your own with some guy you don't know. Congratulations, you've been kidnapped by the [deadpan tone] wonderful city of Mayfield.

[He lets out a sigh and shakes his head]

Dunno if you had any special powers back home, or were even human, but everyone wakes up a normal human here. After the town has dicked with you for a bit sometimes they give back a power, or make you a bit closer to what you were back home, but my suit here has taken months to get back together and I'm still missing a few things.

Oh! I'm Booster Gold, of Metropolis ma'am. Sorry about that but given how there are only some of us who aren't freaky zombies I'm kind of out of the practice of giving my name.

idolofice December 8 2011, 13:26:17 UTC

[She chuckles at the deadpan part, somewhat, but otherwise, she keeps silent throughout his speech, the only thing betraying her increasing worry being her facial expression.

To be honest, she's only half-listening to his explanation. Oh, yes, she got the important parts, but for the rest of it, she's thinking of Sternbild, of her parents and her friends, of the people who need her help, of the corporate sponsors, of the other Heroes. How would they be faring without her? And...how would she fare in this new place, without her powers?

Then he introduces himself, and she snaps back to reality.]

Karina Lyle, from Sternbild. [Then she raises her eyebrow.] Metropolis? Can't say I've ever heard of it. Are you some kind of Hero?

Hm..? [ Eva turns around to face her, a small smile - bordering on a smirk - on her face, her usual expression. ]

Ah, I take it you've spoken to some of the drones here then. They're not.. very useful to gain any relevant information about this place at all, no.

[ action; around town ] idolofice December 8 2011, 13:09:20 UTC

[There's something about that smile that unsettles her, just a little bit, but she pushes that feeling away in favor of gaining more information. Maybe later, she'll act on it, but for now?]

All I got from them was that I've lived here all my life. And I know it's not true.

[ action; around town ] freedomofwomen December 8 2011, 15:31:58 UTC

That's just the way they think. They're almost a bit like.. robots, if you prefer to think of it that way. Programmed to think all of this is real.

[ action; around town ] idolofice December 9 2011, 05:08:04 UTC

[At the mention of robots, she shudders, just for a moment, remembering the events of last year, but quickly pushes the memories away. Focus, Karina.]

Okay, so they're like robots. They think we've been here all our lives and that all this [she gestures, indicating their surroundings] is real. Is there anything else I should know about them?
