Fourth Wall Open Mingle Log Of Doom

Who: ANYONE
Where: ANYWHERE
When: November 24th - November 26th
Summary: A MASS MINGLING POST
Rating: What are ratings
Log:

[Anywhere in Johto and Kanto, there are people interacting. Some of these strangers interacting with other strangers. Some of these folks are your old friends. The insanity has happened yet again, and boy will it be insane.

In short, this is The Ultimate Mingling post version 2, where everyone can run into each other again and again. Damage will only sometimes be repaired, but it doesn't matter--have fun with it! It's primarily for those in the fourth wall who run into another oddball from some other mythical land who's going "What's this place?" just like them, but for everyone who wants to just continue going nuts. Seriously guys, why did you guys let Sunny even bother writing a description. JUST DO FUN THINGS.

But try not to blow up the world, okay?

And as usual, any format is welcome.]

[Talk about places Kiki was sure she'd never get to see again--and with her magic this time! With Jiji back in Koriko, there's no one to complain as she devours the miles, making her way to the last place she'd heard her friends were. On the road, she notices...well. Someone felt like celebrating a good idea, because the 'breakthrough' rune is inscribed on a mountain. She smiles at it; it's a good rune for returns, too.

And off she goes, one eye on the roads. Will you flag her down?]

[And down below, on one of the routes, there are two little kids holding hands as they make their way down the path — the girl, about eight, with a Politoed hopping along beside her, and the boy about eleven with a Natu on his shoulder — both of whom stop to gawk at the young witch on her broom as she goes rocketing by.

The boy stops dead in his tracks and tips his head back, one hand shielding his eyes from the sun as he tracks the foreign object's arc through the sky.]

Oh, wow!

[Kiki halts her broom, floating in midair. She's clearly noticed the children, because she's laughing and waving.]

Hello down ther! Nice pokémon you got!

[Whoa, and she just stopped right in midair, too! And you can't even see the rockets or anything! That's so cool.]

Hi! I like your... [The boy squints.] ...uh, rocket broom, too! Are you going to the town at the end of this road?

[She giggles, letting herself drop so she can hover closer.]

It's not a rocket broom! It's a magic broom. [Duh.] And--I guess I am. Are you?

[As she gets closer, she might be able to see that the little girl is gripping the boy's hand pretty tightly, not precisely out of fear but more just for the sense of security that they're not going to be separated.

That's okay, though, because the boy is eleven whole years old and he's taking care of things, so it's all right if he talks to a stranger just this once.]

Wow, that's even cooler! Real magic, whoa. [BLOWS HIS MIND, TO BE HONEST. He always thought that was kind of mumbo-jumbo.] I guess we're gonna try to go that far, yeah. To find a phone.

[At a whole thirteen years old, Kiki is treading that line between Fellow Kid and Grown Up Person, though she'd of course put herself in the latter category. (She tries not to take herself too seriously, but well, she's a business owner now.) She listens to the boy, offering the little girl a shy smile of her own--she's about to offer to try and fit all three of them on the broom when he finishes his sentence.]

You need a phone? How about using my pokegear?

[Hey, the boy's got to look cool in the presence of a hot older woman, dontcha know. ~~Luckily, he's known a few swag women in his day.~~ He's eleven going on twelve, anyway. That makes all the difference.

The girl edges just a little bit closer to the boy, but finds her voice and pipes up at last:]

What's a Pokey Gear?

[Her Politoed ribbits obligingly.]

It's this!

[She fishes it out for them to see, only half-functional but still in good shape from when she'd treated it with care.] It works as a telephone, a radio, and a bunch of other stuff. [Realizing she's imposing on strangers, however, she reels back her enthusiasm.] Of course, if you'd rather not use it, I'd be happy to just go with you into town!

Oh, neat! Can I see it?

[The boy holds out one hand, questioning.]

Sure!

[Obligingly, she hands it over.]

_{[There will most certainly be flagdowns when Coop spots her. He hadn't been watching the skies but Tricia had noticed the girl and grabbed his attention with a nudge and a whine, confused about how a trainer-person could be in the air without a pokémon to help.]

[There's a moment of confusion on Coop's end, a frown - but then he starts recognising her and remembers that Kiki is a witch, and he raises a hand to wave at her with a smile.]}

[As soon as she spots him, she hoots with victory, angling her broom down to go meet him. She pulls up a bit on approach, hovering just above the ground so that their faces are level. It's surprisingly easy to hug him this way.]

Mister Cooper! How are you? Was I away long?

Decidedly better, Kiki.

_{[He'll be absolutely happy to hug her back, smiling warmly in greeting.]}

About a week and a half. Did you come back to offer us some closure?

_{[He just has a feeling she won't be around past these three days, at least not for a long time, but there's no kind of guilt trip or anything in the way he says it.]}

Well, I-- [She looks sheepish, because sadly, no, she can't say she came back for them so much as...] Well, I kind of woke up back here. There was only Vivi's pokeball, and my broom, so I kind of assumed.

[She looks at him through her eyelashes.] I'm sorry I had to leave.

_{[He's okay with that. He didn't seriously think she'd come back by choice, because no one does, so his smile doesn't falter. Just soften.]}

I don't think that's something you can apologise for.

_{[This place is fickle at best, after all, and hardly within anyone's control.]}

Edited 2012-11-27 21:17 (UTC)

Well, too bad, I'm doing it anyway.

[FUCK THE POLICE--oh wait.]

[Smiling, she retreats from his arms, settling on her broom again. Floating, they can be at eye-level. She looks him up and down, considering.]

I really wish I could take you up, Mister Cooper, but I think you'd be too heavy.

[Shame.]

_{[A shame he's scared of birds, or he'd ride along with her. It's kind of interesting how a fear that barely played into his life at all back home can be so limiting here.]}

Then I'll just have to enjoy watching you do what you do best, won't I?

_{[He'll be perfectly content with that. Takes a small step away, tilts his head slightly, grin in place.]}

Any chance you'll show me a trick?

Guess I could. Watch!

[All too pleased to be asked to show off her much-improved flying, Kiki takes to the air, broom nearly vertical as she shoots up. From there, it's simple to just let herself fall again, sliding back up into an easy loop-de-loop, which she repeats.]

_{[Not bad all, Kiki, not bad at all, and Coop will watch that with a big smile in place and his hands in his pockets.]

[Should she come down at any point, he'll treat her to a low whistle. That 'damn, son'-kind. Like he thought, watching her in her right element is pretty damn happy-making.]}
