Day 307 ★ 002 ★ [Open]

[darkshooter]

Who: Black★Rock Shooter and whoever wants to encounter her.
Open: [very much Y - hop right in.]
When: Day 307, afternoon
Where: Route A is in central Bastion, near the monument. Route B is literally anywhere within the settlement.
What: New face, new place - part deux. She's in a better frame of mind, so there won't be any hostility this time around...unless, perhaps, you happen to be someone from these events.)
Format: Action brackets, though I can try my hand at another type if you'd like. Also, multiple option setup inspired by Miki's entry. Tag the one you want - or both, if it strikes your fancy (and/or we plot something out).
Warnings: Don't know what'll happen when/if the muses she encountered in her previous post show up, but - other than that, no warnings.

(( Scenario [A] - Impact Point!! Central Bastion))



[Whatever business you may have around this part of the settlement today, and whether or not the day was normal to start with... basically, this happens. Anyone who chances to look at the sky sees her shape coming down, AND...]

[SLAM!]

[You now have a Shooterish hole in the ground. The monument is untouched; she was a safe distance from it.]

[Had she actually died, that in-game death message would have been appropriate.]




[And...after a time, she may or may not be climbing out of it. Even falling from such a height seems to have only dazed her.]

[But that's...not the same as saying that she's totally unbothered, or that the impact wasn't unpleasant. It was, and it smarts, but in the way that an annoying injury does.]

(( Scenario [B] - Exploration ))



(( BGM: The Bastion - Wonder [Temple of Elemental Evil: Hommlet] ))

[Would you believe she's actually not stirring a fuss, even after all that? There is much to see here, much that captivates her, and she has nothing against traveling all over to see and learn about it all.]

[Out in the open, at a place of business, wherever - if it exists in the Bastion, you might see her there. And by default, there won't be any aggression; she'll actually feel rather good on the whole by now. Except, of course, for the nagging detail of the people she left behind in the wild...]

[Your move, responder. Where does your meeting with her take place?]

[WELP]

[ALRIGHT THEN]

[He floats alongside her, opening the doors telekinetically once they're close enough.]

[/2]

[darkshooter]

[looks inside!]

[darkshooter]

[...looks to you, after taking in the details. Perhaps the bottom floor is empty - or perhaps it's occupied by NPCs, in which case you might see her tense up ... but calm again once she sees that they're not looking to provide a threat. It'll be the same question either way, just more of a delay in the event of extra presences.]

[what is the purpose of this? why have you brought me here?]

[polariity]

[Most of the locals seem to have their own homes, or leave in the apartments instead of the tower. For now, it's just them in what's much like an entrance sort of place. There's a few places to sit, but it's a basic first floor.]

[At the look, he just jerks his head towards the stairs and starts to float up them.]

[darkshooter]

[...you wish her to ascend? what could matter up there?]

[but she does follow, and her expression's a bit more like this. it's taken her until now to start seriously wondering what this's about.]

[polariity]

[Listen, lady, don't question him. Jeez.]

[He floats her to the floor he thinks is unoccupied and opens the door for her as he floats inside. There's a general gesture to everything before he points to her.]

[There. This can be her place. Or something.]

and then of course she questions him again

[darkshooter]

[.... but I don't want any of this.]

[why.]

[polariity]

[Well you're getting it anyway, lady.]

[/2]

[darkshooter]

[darkshooter]

[nope.]

[bye]

[polariity]

[NOPE]

[Psii follows right after, buzzing in aggravation. Literally buzzing, it's like being followed by an annoyed bee.]

[darkshooter]

[-okay, why are you doing that, are you going to attack me]

[turning around with a slight tensing shift in stance, one that probably tells you pretty clearly that she's puzzled in a negative way about that noise you're making and wondering if you're looking to start something]

[so are you son]

[are you]

[polariity]

[fuckin fite him or something]

[But no, he's just going to point back to the room she just left.]

I laughed. xD

[darkshooter]

[I said I didn't want it. :| Is this truly an offering or are you implying I'm your prisoner?]

mission accomplished

[polariity]

[The world will apparently never know, since neither of them can talk.]

[Well. Psii can make high pitched and annoying whining. Which he is doing right now as a matter of fact. But that's it.]

[/2]

[darkshooter]

[Well, not yet. Give 'er time.]


[oh]

[you]

[just]

[bugger off.]

man, he was only tryin' to help

[darkshooter]

[MAKING TRACKS NOW.]

[see you.]
