[Action]

[Vash had just finished raiding his fridge and made himself a ham sandwich. It was perfect. Cheese, mayo, lettuce, tomato, and plenty of ham! He set it on the table and with a smile on his face he was just about to sit down and enjoy this tasty meal when - Poof!

He found himself falling backwards into the nothingness where his chair should have been. What was worse? He found himself falling head over heels off of someone’s roof.]
GAHHHHHHHH! [Luckily Vash’s coat snags on the gutter so instead of falling to the ground, he’s stuck hanging upside from the roof. Whose roof? Maybe your roof!]

What the hell was th-snore. [And Vash is out. Come find the sleeping gunman hanging somewhere? He’ll be teleporting more than this, so maybe you’ll find him sleeping in your bed, next to the fountain, in a tree, or maybe in your lap! Just tell me where you’d like to find him or I’ll make something up - just go for it and have fun!

Oh and Wolfwood? He‘s going to be very displeased if he finds you ate his sandwich when he finally comes home.]

(OOC: And if he shows up in your home (or on it) I'm cool with housemates or just anyone really threadjacking! The more the merrier right?)

MY CABBAG-err--MY TENT!

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[At the loud clattering and rustling noise of the trees near his camp and the thump on the top of his tent, Jack rolled out of the tent in a fluid motion, awoken in only his pants. As he turns to look for an attacking intruder, he pauses at the surrealism of the moment. A man in a vibrant red coat dangling from a tree branch, his spikey hair grazing the top of the tent. At the snoring, Jack turns his head to the side in puzzlement. How could one sleep through such a thing?]

Um, excuse me...sir?

It's the weight of all that hair gel!!

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Umm...[Was that a branch breaking? Jack moved quickly around, grabbing the man's arms and tugging them. His eyes traveled upwards, hoping that the coat would give out and send the man down safely and away from the tent...before the branch decided to let go.] Sir, whoever you might be, you must wake up!

Humanoid Typhoon: source of most hair gel sales

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jack tugs harder on the man's arms, straining to free him.] I am afraid it is you who is upside down, sir! Quickly, the branch is about to break!!

meep

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jack flies backwards from losing his grip on the strange man's hands, landing on his rear in time to see his tent collapse down. On his face is an expression similar to when his sandals broke. Oh, cruel fate...]

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jack blinks slowly, taking in the man's appearance in full and then looking at the damage to the already storm-ravaged tent. Patience flowed over him as he exhaled a deep, meditative and relaxing sigh.] Yes, perhaps we can, but that is not important at this time. Were you injured any during your fall?

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[Despite the collapse of his tent, Jack gives an honest smile.] That is good to hear, I was afraid that such a fall would have severely injured you. How did you end up there?

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Do the oddities ever end?] You do not remember falling through the trees...or falling asleep?

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I do not believe you were dreaming. Something is odd about all this. [Jack scratches his chin as he pondered the events.] Sorcery of some sort?

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
A demon? What sort of demon?
[Could not be Aku, it had been confirmed he had been sent away from Luceti...]

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
That...does not sound like any sort of demon I have encountered. [A blond demon? What oddness was this?]

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I have fought demons in my world, though they were often in the form of beings of darkness. Though those demons were typically lesser minions of Aku, so...

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jack waved a dismissive hand.] No, it is every man's fate to face a demon of some form...it is simply my duty to slay one that is rather cowardly...and bothersome in his evil ways at times.
[What kind of demon turns into a small creature to run away?]

But, it seems we have yet to be introduced. [Jack bowed towards the spiked-haired man.] They call me Jack.

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-26 02:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahh, I bid you welcome, Frank. [A branch that had held on by a bare thread from the donut-eating man snapped above, crashing down upon the only just slightly standing tent with a resounding thud. Jack winced visibly, eyes clenched and shoulders tucked upward, but one for manners, he tried to maintain a welcoming air only to fall speechless.] ...

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-27 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
[He gave a wane smile.] Thank you for your generous offer, but I am sure it is possible to salvage it. Replacing the poles would simply require finding the right length of wood and then mending the material of the tent.
[And removing the branch as well as moving the camp away from the rest of the trees.]

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-27 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
If necessary, it would be simple to cut them down to a proper size. During my travels, I had to replace pieces in a similar fashion as this whenever rods broke or wore out.

[Action]

[And while Vash is hanging from that gutter, someone appears at the window he is dangling in front of. She is holding a knife.]

I do not much like burglars climbing up my gutters. Especially ones who climb upside-down wearing - Hey! Are you asleep?

[Action]

[identity profile] undertheanchor.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hm. Jacky disappears from the window, goes into the kitchen, and returns with a couple of pots. These she commences to bang together, with great gusto.]

[Action]

[identity profile] undertheanchor.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Incredulous look.] Ya mean ya didn't know you were upside-down on my roof?

[She throws down the pots with another loud clatter.] Fine, come in. Even though you're creeping around my window like a thief, I would feel a little badly if you fell.

[Action]

[identity profile] undertheanchor.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[She backs away, crossing her arms.] Now. Who are you, and do you often sleep upside-down on people's gutters?

[Action]

[identity profile] undertheanchor.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[What a strange person.] Well, Frank, if you are ever again having the urge to sleep in gutters, upside-down or not, make sure it is someone else's gutter you are laying down your sweet head in. Else you may find that outside my window can be a very unpleasant place to wake up.

[Action]

[identity profile] undertheanchor.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
... Do these sudden travels happen very often around here?

[Action]

[identity profile] undertheanchor.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Cautiously:] How do you think your friend might have done such a thing?

[Action]

[identity profile] undertheanchor.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
That must be a very useful thing. It's a shame he uses it to play silly tricks on people.

[Action]

[identity profile] undertheanchor.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
It was not your fault. [She quirks a smile.] Usually I am the one sneaking around on gutters.

[Action]

[identity profile] undertheanchor.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Angry again.] I am not a pirate! What loud-mouthed liar told you I was?

[Action]

[identity profile] undertheanchor.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
You keep strange company, Frank. Maybe you should think about making better friends.

[Action]

[identity profile] undertheanchor.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 12:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[... Well, there was that time she had to sneak into an attic to tell a serving girl that her master was cheating on the mistress of the house.] That is none of your business.

[Action]

[identity profile] undertheanchor.livejournal.com 2010-09-26 02:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe so. [She escorts you to the door. Unless you'd rather go out the window.]

[Action]

[identity profile] undertheanchor.livejournal.com 2010-09-27 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
You can tell all your friends that Jacky Faber does not knock people off roofs.

[And with that, she'll close the door.]

[identity profile] mikangirl.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Standing in her back yard.

...

...

...yup, that is definitely a Vash hanging off her roof.]


...uh.

[identity profile] mikangirl.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[...well. Nami is accustomed to finding men snoring on roofs. Take Zoro's first visit here, for instance.]

[identity profile] mikangirl.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[...yeah, that ended violently, too.]

[identity profile] mikangirl.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Up on the roof she goes. And now poking Vash, reasonably gently.]

Wake up.

[BOOT. OFF THE ROOF WITH YOU.]

[identity profile] mikangirl.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
G'morning, Vash. And you're sleeping on our roof because...?

[Actually, sleeping there's not a crime. She'd have had to lock Ginko up by now. But hanging half off the roof like that? Something is distinctly afoot.]

[identity profile] mikangirl.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 12:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Where you promply decided to sleep.






Upside down.

[identity profile] mikangirl.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 02:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[This face. You can do better than that, Vash.]

[identity profile] mikangirl.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
But you went to sleep up there. You weren't there two minutes ago. [What's up with that?]

[identity profile] mikangirl.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh. "Laughs awkwardly and shrugs". That's Vash-ese for Ohohoh, there's something going on and I don't want to tell you.

Jumping down off the roof and grabbing him by his coat.]
Spill.

[identity profile] mikangirl.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
You passed out on our roof. [Let's be correct here.]

[identity profile] mikangirl.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, well done, Vash. Now she's passed into genuine annoyance. Unlike others on her crew, she'll happily be vocal about it.]

If you don't want to tell me, just say so.

[identity profile] mikangirl.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[...since the mallynap. Meryl had said he was exhausted, but...]

That's...not good. On either count.

[identity profile] mikangirl.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure. You could find yourself fast asleep in Legato's bed.

[identity profile] mikangirl.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
You were the one who asked.

[identity profile] mikangirl.livejournal.com 2010-09-28 03:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Want to fill me in on who Legato really is? I'm getting the impression he didn't run an orphanage.

[identity profile] mikangirl.livejournal.com 2010-09-29 08:51 am (UTC)(link)
So tell me what I need to know. [Thinking totally of the mess-up with Hazama, here.]

[identity profile] mikangirl.livejournal.com 2010-09-29 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
So the best bet is just to never get his attention, huh?

[Ahahah. She's probably doomed. :|]

Is there anything he wants, or is he just a nutcase like the rest of them?

[identity profile] mikangirl.livejournal.com 2010-09-30 11:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Pfft. Your friends won't deny they're friends, Vash.

...but they can at least be sensible about it.]
I'll just lock anything I want to say to you across the journals, then. [Pausing. And then bluntly.] It's inevitable that he tracks everyone down though, Vash. Luceti is a small place. The best we can do is delay him as long as possible and hope either he goes home or a way can be found to deal with him.

1/3

[identity profile] mikangirl.livejournal.com 2010-09-30 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
And maybe Yuber will take up gardening and Aku will give candy out to small children.

[...]

[identity profile] mikangirl.livejournal.com 2010-09-30 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
...that isn't poisoned.

Anyway-- [And she'll arch an eyebrow at him--] You're smarter than that.

[identity profile] mikangirl.livejournal.com 2010-10-01 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
[And because there is no conviction, you're spared her genuine irritation - just a flat, unimpressed glance for you.] Because Luceti's psychopaths have shown such a grand history of changing.

[identity profile] mikangirl.livejournal.com 2010-10-01 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
[...


...sigh.]


I hope you'll be right one day, Vash.

[Finally. FINALLY April is starting to feel at peace with the whole "Now I live in another dimension for an indefinite amount of time" thing. So she's sitting cross-legged in the living room, quietly sketching on the watercolor paper she found in the shop. So nice to enjoy the quiet and sanctity of this home away from home.]

1/3

[identity profile] before-may.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!

[April is not easily scared or freaked out. But this is WAY beyond anything that's ever happened to her before. Young men just didn't typically appear from nowhere with their heads...yeah, right in her lap.]

2/3

[identity profile] after-march.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
WHO? HOW!?

[Sleeping young men! Appearing in her lap! He's heavy!]

Hey! W-wake up! It's...

[Woman up, O'Neil.]

SIR! GET OFF OF ME.

3/3

[identity profile] after-march.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, he's not waking up. He...looks sort of harmless, actually. Kinda cute even? Wait. No. April attempts to push him off.]

Hello? Helloooo? Wakey wakey, mister instant appearance!

[identity profile] after-march.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[Meryl? Now he thought she was someone named Meryl. Nope, sorry, guy.]

Uh--I think you're thinking of someone else. I'm APRIL. April. [She pokes him again, hoping her screaming from earlier didn't alarm anyone else in the house. Like Donnie, or Derek, or---]

[identity profile] meanandgreen.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Right on cue Raph busts through the door with one sai drawn, ready to kick some ass.]

The shell is goin' -

[His eyes travel to Vash.]

HEY!

[He sheathes his sai and storms over to grab Vash by the collar, intent on dragging him off of April.]

[identity profile] after-march.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
RAPH, it's okay! He's just...sleeping in my lap.

[identity profile] meanandgreen.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Raph lifts him up high enough to lift him off the ground, snarling in his sleeping face.]

He what?

[identity profile] after-march.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
WHOA! Raphael! He didn't do anything, okay? He just sort of...popped into my lap.

[identity profile] meanandgreen.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, well. He's gonna punch Vash in the face anyways, 'cause he's nice like that.]

G'mornin' sunshine.

[identity profile] after-march.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
Oh God---I'm sorry, sir, really---uh---he didn't mean it!

[identity profile] meanandgreen.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I meant it. [He lets go of Vash's shirt.] Take a look around. Look familiar?

Here, have more Not Normal

[identity profile] derek-bliss.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Right about then, the front door opens and Derek walks in. Which is the normal part. The not so normal part? He's stark naked and the only thing keeping him within eyesight of the concept of 'decency' is his carefully placed hand.

He stops dead, looking at the group of people on the floor.]


Raph...don't kill him; he's a friend. His name is Vash. [He glances at April and then quickly away.] Sorry 'bout this.

[And he'll turn to the bathroom...where the shower he was so rudely pulled out of is still running, and disappear inside, quietly closing the door. The sound of the faucet being turned off can be heard.

'Scuse him while he gets some clothes on, folks.]
Edited 2010-09-25 01:13 (UTC)

/threadjumps to hit that

[identity profile] after-march.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
Uh...Derek...was here.

/threadjumps again because.

[identity profile] before-may.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
Derek. Derek was here.

[identity profile] meanandgreen.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Raph just staggers back and looks completely horrified even after Derek's gone.]

What is wrong with you people!?

[identity profile] derek-bliss.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Derek comes back out of the bathroom, pulling a shirt on and starting to button it up]

...Nothing. Seems a lot of people are getting bounced around for some reason. Whole bunch of us wound up in the square.

[No, he wasn't just walking through the room naked. Really]

[identity profile] after-march.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
[April jumps a little.]

Uh--APRIL. Is my name. And. I'm fine. [More with it, now. She tries to speak in soothing tones and gestures toward their visitor's face.]

Are you alright?

No worries! Epic backtagging ftw

[identity profile] meanandgreen.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's enough to snap Raph out of his shock, though he still won't be able to look Derek in the eye for at least a week. At least.

He charges over to Vash like a stampeding bull. That is his buddy's girl you're talking to, you wackbag!]


Get out!

Yus! We must do the Epic Thang!

[identity profile] derek-bliss.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Never a dull moment with you 'round, eh Raph?

Derek will get between them best he can, although he will shoot Vash a somewhat disbelieving look. Laying it on a bit thick for a first meeting, there, dude, aren't ya?.]


Raph! Cut it out.

[identity profile] meanandgreen.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Raph stops in front of the Derek, giving Vash one heck of an evil eye.] I said get out.

[identity profile] after-march.livejournal.com 2010-09-26 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
RAPH! THE MAN SAID IT WAS LOVELY TO MEET ME. AND I RESTORE HIM. STOP BEING A JACKASS.

[identity profile] derek-bliss.livejournal.com 2010-09-26 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh, yeah, you too.

...Maybe we can get together when everyone isn't freaked out.

[Or passed out and/or naked]

[identity profile] meanandgreen.livejournal.com 2010-09-26 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Raph just glowers. At everyone.]

/keywords forever

[identity profile] after-march.livejournal.com 2010-09-26 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[April glares once more at Raph, but then maybe a little smile sneaks in. Because honestly? It's nice to know someone's got your back, even if it's totally wrongheaded at times. She gets up to see Vash to the door.]

Look--maybe we can make it up to you. The whole punch in the face thing. I'll cook you dinner or something. You could bring this Meryl person too, okay?

[identity profile] derek-bliss.livejournal.com 2010-09-27 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Derek shrugs, shaking his head; he has no idea how April knows this 'Meryl'. April? Care to explain?]

[identity profile] after-march.livejournal.com 2010-09-27 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
You sort of whispered her name when you--with the whole thing, there. I think you thought I was her.

[Awkward.]

[identity profile] meanandgreen.livejournal.com 2010-09-27 12:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, that's it! [He's gonna try to, you know, chase you out of the house now. If he can get around Derek.]

[identity profile] derek-bliss.livejournal.com 2010-09-27 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[*sigh*

Derek will quietly but firmly get in Raphael's way, effectively keeping himself between turtle and plantman the whole time.]


Nice seeing you, Vash.

[Dude. Seriously, run for it.]

[identity profile] after-march.livejournal.com 2010-09-28 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
Bye Vash!!!! Uh---nice to meet you!

[identity profile] meanandgreen.livejournal.com 2010-09-28 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Holy shell, do I gotta kick your ass all the way to the street!?

[identity profile] derek-bliss.livejournal.com 2010-09-28 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Derek is keeping his mouth shut, thanks.

And still staying between Raph and Vash.

For God's fucking sake, man, get out! FLIRT LATER.]

[identity profile] before-may.livejournal.com 2010-09-28 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
Okay! Maybe I'll just come find you then!

[identity profile] meanandgreen.livejournal.com 2010-09-28 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
[The minute the door closes, Raph turns to April, furious.]

So now you're goin' on a date with that moron!?
Edited 2010-09-28 02:22 (UTC)

[identity profile] derek-bliss.livejournal.com 2010-09-28 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Derek does sigh this time.]

Raphael, bunch of people just got teleported to the square butt ass naked.

Wouldn't be surprised if he got teleported too. Doesn't make him a moron.

[He looks at April] Really am sorry about that unexpected show. Need me for anything, I'll be in my room.

[Because he knows damn well better than to get between a woman and her temper.]

[identity profile] after-march.livejournal.com 2010-09-30 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, it's not a date Raphael. More like a peace-offering. And I'm not going anywhere--he can come here. [That look DARES YOU to disagree with her, Raphael.] It wasn't exactly his fault, he just kind of...appeared.

[The "naked" story Derek has told doesn't help with her blushing problem. "Need me for anything..." Whoa.]

Hey, it's fine Derek no problem happens a lot I mean it doesn't happen a lot actually but these things happen is what I meant to say. No harm done!

[identity profile] derek-bliss.livejournal.com 2010-09-30 11:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh god, April. Please don't.

It's taken all his willpower to be dignified about it all up to now. But without the whole Raph trying to kill Vash thing, now he has nothing else to concentrate on.

So, yeah...it might be hard to notice under that tan, but April's not the only one with a blushing problem.

He'll bite back a sigh, but that nervous habit he has of running his hand through his hair is in full force as he shakes his head.]


It's okay, April...just...

I'll see you guys later.

[And yeah...headed for the hall now, before it becomes really noticeable that he's not doing too well with it, either.]

[identity profile] meanandgreen.livejournal.com 2010-09-30 02:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[Raph just facepalms.]

Yeah, well I say you're all morons.

[And he's so out of here, too, before he says anything stupid.]

[identity profile] after-march.livejournal.com 2010-09-30 03:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[And April finds herself alone again.]

I'm going to look back on this one day and wonder to myself, "April, what the hell was that?" [She shakes her head and picks up her art supplies before leaving the room. Maybe it's time to go take a walk.]


[OOC: FUN THREAD!!!!! THANKS GUYS!]
i_speak_softly: (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH)

[personal profile] i_speak_softly 2010-10-01 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
[And as April is on her way out, she meets a Turtle coming the other way.]

April! Don't leave the house! The square is full of people without their clothes on!

[identity profile] after-march.livejournal.com 2010-10-01 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
Don! YOU HAVE NO CLOTHES ON! [April puts on a mock-shocked look, hands on hips.]

And...yeah, it's probably not anything I haven't seen before.
i_speak_softly: (ABORT ABORT)

[personal profile] i_speak_softly 2010-10-01 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
What - [Oh. You almost got him there, April.] No, April, I'm serious! Dozens of humans not wearing anything!

[identity profile] after-march.livejournal.com 2010-10-01 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
Donnie, I just saw Derek TOTALLY NAKED. [She suppresses a smile.] And I just ended up with a strange man in my lap, out of nowhere. I think it's one of those experiments...
i_speak_softly: (This can't end well)

[personal profile] i_speak_softly 2010-10-01 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Just. Horrified.] April, I'm so sorry. This is the worst experiment yet.

[identity profile] after-march.livejournal.com 2010-10-01 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. It's absolutely horrible.

Uh---has anything happened to you?
i_speak_softly: (Hey everyone!)

[personal profile] i_speak_softly 2010-10-01 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
[In an appalled whisper:] I got hugged by a girl with no pants.

[identity profile] after-march.livejournal.com 2010-10-01 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
That's...great, Don. Who was she?

[April? Taking names. Kicking ass might come later.]
i_speak_softly: (My stick will protect me)

[personal profile] i_speak_softly 2010-10-02 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
Her name is Usagi, but she's a human. [There is definitely a logical connection between these things.]

[identity profile] after-march.livejournal.com 2010-10-02 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
Usagi. Right. Gotcha. [In that they're both bunnies? Maybe.]
i_speak_softly: (Okay but what if -)

[personal profile] i_speak_softly 2010-10-02 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah, so she has been picking up some Japanese from hanging around the guys.]

[Don tries to subtly herd April back into the house. Definitely not a good day for taking a walk.]

[identity profile] after-march.livejournal.com 2010-10-02 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
Don--look---what--are you doing? [Because she wants to go for a stroll--things are EXCITING out here!]
i_speak_softly: (I-didn't-do-it.)

[personal profile] i_speak_softly 2010-10-02 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
What do you mean? [As he strategically occupies the entire doorway.]

[identity profile] after-march.livejournal.com 2010-10-02 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
[April tries to loom in an "I'm leaving now and there is nothing you are going to do about it" kind of way.]

What I mean is I'm going to have to take some measures, my friend, if you don't let me go.
i_speak_softly: (Leo listen this is important.)

[personal profile] i_speak_softly 2010-10-02 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
[You can't outloom him. He can throw you over his shoulder and carry you wherever he wants. Also, he's completely in the right on this one, since he's doing it for your own good.]

But April, what if your clothes disappear?
i_speak_softly: (I do not like the looks of that.)

[personal profile] i_speak_softly 2010-10-02 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
The experiment! What if it happens to you? While you're out there?

[identity profile] after-march.livejournal.com 2010-10-02 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
Donnie, I am ready for anything that out there has to dish out. [She playfully punches his shoulder.]
i_speak_softly: (Surrender)

[personal profile] i_speak_softly 2010-10-04 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[The punch has absolutely no effect. Don continues to stand there, challenging April to pass him.]

[And then he moves aside. Experiments can last for a week and he can't guard the door twenty-four hours a day. Besides, he doesn't think he could hold up under April's glare for five minutes.]

[Take care of yourself out there, April.]

[identity profile] after-march.livejournal.com 2010-10-05 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
Hey---[She frowns. Why so much giving up on things, Donnie?]---you're not even going to try to duct tape me to an immovable object?
i_speak_softly: (Wistful look.)

[personal profile] i_speak_softly 2010-10-05 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
You wanted to know about the experiments. So - [He gestures to the door.] Go find out.

[Who is he to stand in the way of SCIENCE?]

[identity profile] after-march.livejournal.com 2010-10-05 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[She chews on her lower lip. He's...okay, she'll bite. Reverse psychology be damned.]

Fine. Fine, I'll stay. If it matters to you.
i_speak_softly: (*cautiously defensive*)

[personal profile] i_speak_softly 2010-10-05 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[A small smile.] I'd feel better.

[identity profile] after-march.livejournal.com 2010-10-05 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[So April backs away and goes to flop down on the couch. At least she can't say it hasn't been EXCITING in the house.]
i_speak_softly: (Cursed with fools.)

[personal profile] i_speak_softly 2010-10-05 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[With a loud clatter and crash, Jack steps out into the main room of the house from the bathroom, a small trail of toilet paper sticking to his sandalless foot. He is soot and dirt covered, hair undone and very mussed, eyes looking weary and almost crazed, missing one sandal, and now has one leg wet. He pauses, unsure of where he is.] Ummm, hello?

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jack looks around the room, finding the kitchen rather intriguing.] Is anyone home?
[He walks around the kitchen until he draws to a pause, a sandwich sitting upon the table.]

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[The samurai peered at the sandwich, lifting an edge of the bread to examine the contents. Still rather fresh. Whoever made it would not have wandered far...] HELLO?
[With it rather obvious no one was home, Jack moved to the window and opened the curtains. He might as well try to find out where he is if he was truly lost.]

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jack's eyes grew wide in surprise, causing him to jump back. After a moment's thought, he paused and checked out the window again, his brows settling into a look of disbelief.] How...?

[Somehow, the red-coated, porcupine-haired man who was just one of many to assault the samurai's tent was dangling from yet ANOTHER tree.]

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jack smacked a hand against his own face, running it slowly down in disbelief, leaving a trail of dirt and mud to the point he almost looked tribal in nature. He could not leave him up there...but he was out of reach. Peering at the sandwich, Jack sighed and bundled it in a small kitchen towel. He stepped outside and looked at the tree, his face falling even more lined in utter amazement at this man's aptitude in getting caught in trees.]

Excuse me, sir? I have this sandwich here...it would be a shame if its maker could not eat it...

[Jack held up the sandwich in its safe bundle, dangling it back and forth slightly.]

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[He sighed and peered around. What was it that he and the cross-carrying man had said earlier at his ruined tent? He calls out loudly in a rather staged voice:] Ahem--oh, no, an evil demon is about to eat this helpless...[Jack uncovers the sandwich.]...delicious sandwich!

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
[A smug look appeared on Jack's face, similar to when the Scotsman lost his bagpipe. Jack spoke loudly to no one in particular:] Oh, hello, priest, that cross you are carrying seems very heavy. Perhaps a sandwich would help refresh you? I found it in your kitchen...

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Sometimes, people are simple to wake up.] Hello. You appear to be upside down...in a tree...again.

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I have. He and his cross landed atop my tent after you proceeded to leave. Would you like the sandwich while I examine the tree?
[Though Jack could not grab the porcupine-headed odd man from the tree from where he stood, he at least could hand off the sandwich.]

Vat's dat sandvich? Kill zem all? Good idea!

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Jack carefully stretches one arm up, the sandwich secure in his grasp. Wobbling on his single sandal, he all but stumbles forward, the sandwich ending up perfectly between the red-wearing man's teeth while Jack hobbles back and forth trying to regain balance.]

You may have won the sammich, but you lost the olive!

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Once he returns to balanced, Jack discards his sandal and begins to scrutinize the tree, trying to figure out the best method to free the man without dropping him on his head.] I might very well take up that offer if my encampment continues with such poor luck.

You could say that it has...*put on shades* a pit of evil

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Jack hops onto the tree, scrambling onto a lower branch before hopping to the next one.] It is not...hmph...the rain of people I worry of...[He finally found himself above the sandwich-devouring man.]...the regular rain.

[Carefully, he gripped his legs around the branch, free the first caught bits of red coat.]

YEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
No, the tent was of fine condition...[Jack quickly hops down to a lower branch, undoing the remnants of the coat and breaking off the more stubborn of the twigs, freeing the tent-crusher.]...it is simply that the weather of this land was not a problem in the world I was brought from.

A desert of...GREAT FLAMING CACTI!

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
No, it was merely that...[Jack ran across the branch and leaped fluidly onto the ground nearby.]...there were not storms and rains of such strength in the future ruled by Aku. It was often very desolate and barren, but no, not quite a desert.

AND THERE ARE NO DONUTS IN THE FUTURE!!

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Jack picks up his one sandal and dusts it off.] It is not without hope. I seek to return to my proper time and defeat Aku before his evil has chance to spread across the land. My time here in Luceti has merely taught me that perhaps a true domicile would not be a burden upon me.

SEARCH YOUR FEELINGS, YOU KNOW IT TO BE TRUE!!

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
I thank you. And do not worry, it was not solely your fault that my tent collapsed. More than just you have landed upon it since your departure from my camp.

NO VASH YOU ARE THE DONUTS!!

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
I would say I could have salvaged the tent...[He lowered his head and let out a loud sigh.]...until the priest with the large cross landed upon it.

For every donut you eat, you devour part of yourself...

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, that was his name. His cross impaled the tent. [His eyebrows twitched as he recalled the events, still horribly fresh in his mind.] And my hat was also crushed in the tussle.

It is a vicious cycle...you masochist.

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps this is a sign that I should begin searching for a domicile, one that I do not merely stake into the ground and hope it outlasts the elements. Maybe...I have been a wanderer for long enough.

The donut is a lie!

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
I traveled out of necessity, to find a way back to my own time or at least defeat Aku. Since it seems neither are here in Luceti, I believe that my need to wander can be satiated without fearing a flood washing away what I staked as a home.

Do I? Or are you just afraid of the truth?

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Jack grins smugly.] Yes, you seem most adept at finding trees to hang upside down from.

The truth...of how donuts get those holes in them...>:D

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-25 04:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[He scratches his chin in thought, looking back up at the tree.] What puzzles me is how you are always soundly sleeping when I find you.

You take a jellyfilled donut...

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-26 02:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[Before he can inquire further, the conversation is interrupted by the loud grumbling and growling of Jack's stomach. The samurai goes stock straight at the sound and then peers down, his stomach growling once more in discontent of being neglected.]

Well...you grab a gun, take aim at the donut's center...

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-27 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Jack bows lightly, his stomach rumbling lightly.] If it would not be bothersome for you, I have indeed not been able to have a meal all day. This "experiment" has been a grave inconvenience for the both of us.

Years of training with masters of the world will do that

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-09-27 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jack quietly follows after him, carrying his lone sandal rather than hobble along off-balance.]

The wise one forgot about this tag >.>

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-10-01 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Well...at least until I find new sandals. I would not want to inconvenience him. [Even though his cross did impale the samurai's poor, humble tent into oblivion.]

[identity profile] wanderer-jack.livejournal.com 2010-10-02 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
[More than one pair of shoes? Well, spares would be wise to invest in if one was prone to...unfortunate circumstances happening to shoes...and hats.] No matter, I will try to return them in an expedient manner and in best of conditions.
[He gazed around at the apartment, taking it in fully now that he did not have someone to rescue from a tree and a sandwich to transport.] How many others share this dwelling with you? It seems too spacious to house only one person.
