Who: Shelly and anyone
Location: Plaza
Time: Afternoon
Style: Either
Status: Open

[Standing before the coral with a hand perched on her hip and a megaphone in the other, Shelly, still damp but drier from her sodden arrival, begins her announcement in a firm, less-than-pleased tone as the fairy beside her flutters about quietly.]

Attention [ -- the rest is drowned out by a high-pitched screech as the megaphone adjusts -- ] !

What you have committed is a severely punishable offense that will not go unheard by the Republic's Senate. However, before you respond to the matter of your crime, I demand an explanation.

[She lowers the megaphone, waiting.]

Comments

[messianic]

[This is Minato at the welcoming committee--

..oh

loud much.

He just stands, wandering out of the building and over.]

Excuse me.

how did you get here so fast --

[ex_diplomacy861]

[Oh. It's a boy.

But anyone can be a miscreant at any age. Thus, she cannot let her guard down.]

Yes?

I'm actually a ninja

[messianic]

[: |b

He offers a Welcoming Committee pamphlet.]

I can try to explain, if you'd like.

[seablaze]

If ya really want ta get someone's attention, lass. Try that again but through the the device they gave ya.

[The pirate captain took a bite from an apple he had. There was also a bag of fruit held in the other arm. He looked quite annoyed with the ruckus.]
Take it ya just arrived here to the prison.

[heroistic]

[alskdajsldajlsda]

U-Um, yes ma'am?

[SCARY...]

I thought you were a pirate.

[ex_diplomacy861]

[Eyeing the pamphlet, she takes it. Since he's being civil, she'll return the gesture.]

That would be excellent. All I've heard is that this place is called Vatheon.

[ex_diplomacy861]

[Lass? True, she'd been told about the device from the natives, and though it seemed like a more convenient means of communication, she still didn't quite understand it.]

I prefer a more . . . hands-on approach.

[A prison, hm?] Not too long ago. I took the time to dry myself first.

[ex_diplomacy861]

[wimp]

Am I to believe that you're the perpetrator behind this?

[beautifies]

[What is that woman doing. No, seriously. What is she doing? What is she doing? She a life. She has choices. Look at them. He just snorts from some paces away and crosses his arms.]

If you're trying to address whoever brought you here, it's pointless to continue.

[ex_diplomacy861]

[She's just got the balls to do what you can't, Hajime, and now she's looking at him with a slight raise of her brow.]

Why's that?

[beautifies]

[Hey, hey, he has the tits to regularly coat clear polish on his nails.]

It won't listen to you.

[ex_diplomacy861]

[What's that going to do, blind Alpha in the face of danger?]

. . . Then I take it that you know who the perpetrator is.

[beautifies]

[It means that should the world truly end in 2012, at least he will look beautiful. Priorities. Learn some.]

It's the will of this city that bring you here and decides when you can leave.

[ex_diplomacy861]

[Excuse you, Shelly looks plenty beautiful already.]

You're telling me this city is alive and violates the people's freedom. Last I checked, it wasn't possible for a place to be sentient.

[kingwithnocrown]

[For once, Izaya really truly was just walking along innocently when suddenly-]

Nyah heeeey!

[He spins about and instantly- well. You know that megaphone? It's no longer in her hand but instead in his.]

That's pretty disturbing to the peace. Not to mention completely stupid considering that Vatheon doesn't have anyone who's about to answer you.

[Throws the megaphone over shoulder and hops away, continuing along with his pleasant walk.]

[sexyandiknowit]

Obviously it was magic.

[So composed and calm, just completely unfazed by how loud you're being. He's lived with a guy who makes megaphones sound like a whisper on his own lung power alone for about ten years.]

Perhaps you should find the evil wizard who kidnapped you!

[gorges]

[...You know what ow that kind of hurt.]

Hey! How about ya keep it down?

[She shrugs a little, putting her hands on her hips as she looks at Shelly.]

Some people have lives to go on with, y'know!

[Because Kyouko totally has a life here. Yep.]

[ex_diplomacy861]

[That --

That was fast. Shelly gives him a look as her hand twitches at the loss, then retorts:]

You did.

[Not the question, oh, no, but he responded to the ruckus she was causing.]

[ex_diplomacy861]

[Magic? Magic. She never used it, but from what she knew about it, it didn't work that way. Skepticism trickles into her voice as she humors him.]

I wasn't aware magic of such . . . caliber existed.

[ex_diplomacy861]

[You'd have liked it better if the megaphone had been spitting apples, wouldn't you?

Lowering the megaphone, Shelly addresses Kyouko.]

Do you live here?

[seablaze]

That be good. Can't have ya standing out getting a cold now. The doctors in this place are a bit questionable.

The common folk 'round here will likely tell you that coral brought ya here. Who knows how much of it is true. Jus know that we're stuck, this place makes ya act funny now and then, and there be a lift to get ya up to an Island.

[gorges]

[Oh yes, then she would've known she was in heaven.]

Guess you could say that. [She's so helpful.

She's taking some pocky out of her pocket and putting a piece in her mouth.] You'll be livin' here now too, whether you like it or not.

[sexyandiknowit]

[And now he's giving her the most patient and patronizing smile, as if he's explaining to a small child that yes the funny man talking to himself on the street corner looks funny, but lets not go talk to him.]

Oh sweetie, of course you didn't! If you did, you wouldn't have needed to ask now would you?

[ex_diplomacy861]

The coral.

[She looks over her shoulder, down at the coral, then back at Faris.]

Where can I find this lift?

[ex_diplomacy861]

[She raises her brows, now adopting a lighter tone.]

You must have been abducted as well. It's an unusual situation, though. The people here are . . . kind.

[On the surface, anyway, with selective hearing.]
