Phi | Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward

[plentyfriendly]

[Wait, what just happened? This was clearly not where she just was, but... where was that?]

[Phi does not have time to ponder this, because as soon as she realizes it...]

Wha-

[...a Clefairy leaps into her chest. The impact is enough to make her stumble, but not fall - wiry as she is, she can handle sixteen-and-a-half pounds of... pink, cute thing?]

Huh. Well, aren't you something?

[OOC: canon or Alpha Complex, as unlikely as anyone picking the latter is]

[fourleafcleaver]

[Clover hasn't quiiiite figured out how to identify confused newcomers from confused oldbies yet, and the fact that this entire weekend has been a complete clusterfuck isn't helping. She's been working under the assumption that everyone knows what's going on better than she does, and it's mostly worked out so far.

So the thing she notices about Phi isn't how out of it she might be, but the fact that she's holding the cutest pink whatever-it-is ever.]

Omigosh! What a cutie! I hardly ever see those pink poofballs around, but they're soooo precious.

[plentyfriendly]

It definitely likes me, at least. Well, that or this is part of some lengthy, soul-sucking ritual, but I think I've been in enough near-death situations lately.

[You definitely have to beware the cute ones, sometimes. Or, in a situation where nothing is familiar, potentially everything. Wait...]

[fourleafcleaver]

[Not even the weirdest thing she's been told as part of an introduction yet? She still kinda grimaces, though.]

Things get weird around here, buuut you're probably okay on that front? I mean, I haven't heard about the poofballs causing any problems, at least.

[plentyfriendly]

I take it you got here the same way I did, then.

[Hey, wait...]

When did you get the time to change clothes, though?

[fourleafcleaver]

Backpack full of goodies, new weird pink pet, strange lady calling herself your mom?

[...??????????? what kind of question is that]

...I've...been here for months. [S...so yes she is going to change clothes sometimes???] There are...cities and stuff here. Uh, hotels and stuff. Clothes...stores... [what has this lady's experience been like so far that she doesn't think changing clothes is an option good god]

[plentyfriendly]

Guess not. I didn't meet anyone like that.

[Good thing, too - Phi might just have believed her.]

Still, this is oddly hospitable for a kidnapping.

[fourleafcleaver]

Oh. That's how it usually goes, actually, but things have been pretty weird lately.

...Like, weirder than normal. I mean, I guess it's not bad here, but it's weird. Unknown kidnapping forces, cats that shoot lightning, floating pink flower pigs—y'know. [She counts each oddity on her finger as she goes, sounding entirely too casual.]

[plentyfriendly]

What is all this, then? If no one is taking credit, there are either way too many freak wormholes about or someone wants to cover their tracks - especially since whatever it is is grabbing people from different times or timelines.

[fourleafcleaver]

No one's got it figured out, as far as I've heard. Not even the people who lived here originally. People just show up and everyone just kinda deals with it. And we've got, like, aliens? And people who could do stuff like breathe fire before they got here. [She pulls a face.] It's weird.

[plentyfriendly]

And now they can't anymore. That could be a problem.

[There goes what chance she had of getting out of her own accord...]

[fourleafcleaver]

I dunno about "problem." The weird dogs do enough fire-breathing around here, we don't need people helping.

[plentyfriendly]

Either way, I'm stuck. Might as well figure out what I'm going to do next...

[Not that she's quite that good at controlling it anyway.]
