Holiday Mingle~

[killerwaves]

Tis the Seasun

Do you remember what it was like to get your first postcard? Maybe you don't, maybe you never got one at all, but no matter where you are, no matter WHEN you are, you'll find a particularly festive one slipped under your door, pillow, accompanied by a tinny meow.


Maybe that rings more familiar.

Should you check the RSVP box YES on the back, you'll find youself whisked away to the nebula of the island you once called home. It's still purple and spacey, but there's holiday decorations to be had through the work of some festive cat bots that have whirred to life since your last visit. Yes, there's at least a few palm trees adorned with lights inspiring some type of cheer.

Since you're already here, why not catch up with your fellow islanders? As always, there's food for you to enjoy courtesy of the catbots, and there's even tasks if you feel like doing them for old times sake (or for the cool swag). There might even be a new face or two in the crowd, interdimensional invitations are a bit tricky to wrangle even if you're not a repurposed kittybot.

[ Another complete stranger here, and to be fair, this time is absolutely her own fault. What was the harm in checking that RSVP? Surely it won't end with more murder, right? Right? How was she supposed to know it'd immediately send her to not-even-a-circus this time!

Obviously, the best thing to do first is to gather info. And where better to get the ball rolling than some random dude with a necklace she thinks looks interesting. It's kinda familiar-looking, and he doesn't look like he's about to shank her. Good enough for a start. ]

Yeah, I could use a coffee right about now too.

[ In fact, she's gonna look for some while she continues talking. ]

Hey, how'd you make it here? 'Cause this sorta party sure isn't an everyday thing.

[ We do not speak about the other kidnappings. ]

[nullifying]

[ Blinks at sudden pink girl talking to him. Well, that's not exactly uncommon, though. ]

Umm, there was that card? I thought it was just a prank from this guy I know, but since he's not here, guess that's not it. [ And other people around seem familiar with each other, so he just is not going to butt into anything, as awkward as it is already. ]

[fourtuity]

[ She nods. Yeah, that tracks. Clover doesn't mind crashing a party and all, but give a girl some actual notice first. (The postcard totally doesn't count.) ]

Hmm, you do look like the kinda guy who'd get dunked on a lot.

[ Not quite bully magnet? Maybe something adjacent? ]

Though I guess I can't say much since I also got a postcard asking for an RSVP.

[nullifying]

Wow, thanks.

[ Said in the flattest of tones, like he's heard that one before. He's used to it, but it's not like he likes it! The only one allowed to tease him was— no, that guy isn't allowed to either, actually! ]

Are you quick to make judgments on people you don't know?

[fourtuity]

[ Without any hesitation or shame. ]

Yeah. Maybe I'll even prank them for the hell of it. But hey, time and place for everything!

[nullifying]

[ In his opinion (and exhaustion), there's been far too much pranking as it is. He's been far too tired of getting the mail lately. ]

And exactly what would be the appropriate time and place for pranking complete strangers?

[fourtuity]

Good question! Time and place is kinda broad, so let's go into "why pranks?" instead.

[ That's probably not what he's looking for, but this is funner. She'll jokingly count on her fingers as she answers. ]

Pranks can be a good icebreaker, as long as they're more confusing than anything else. You can get some really fun reactions outta it!

As for other reasons...sometimes a funny old man eggs you on to do it, because why not when prank mails are classic. And uh, I guess if you're somehow the host of one of those prank shows? But then that becomes your job, which sure is awkward.

[nullifying]

[ Firstly, how sadistic was this girl? And secondly, when she starts going on about an old man is when he starts choking on air. After he gives his chest some thumps to clear it, he goes: ]

Wait, what funny old man? Is this Hyoubu's doing after all? Who are you? [ PANDRA picks up so many kids he wouldn't be able to keep up with it, but he's sure he's never seen this girl with them? ]

[fourtuity]

[ She blinks, almost raising a hand over her mouth in surprise. ]

What? How'd you get that particular old man from just that? I should be the one asking who you are!

[ Oh snap, did she talk to someone she shouldn't have? ]

[nullifying]

What other old geezer is egging on little strange girls to play tricks on other people? [ He looks around warily, the number of times he's called Hyoubu "old" today is probably too high for his tolerance. ]

White hair, gakuran, an air about him like he's hiding so much crap behind some shit-eating grin?

[fourtuity]

[ She's tempted to mouth off at that strange comment, but she'll let it mostly slide...for now. ]

Probably more than you think. There's a lotta weirdos out there. And don't lump me in with them.

[ Really, it says more about this guy that he's the first person that comes to mind. Putting her hands on her hips, she leans forward, staring intently. ]

Hmm... Yeeeeah, that's sounds like him all right. So how do you know him? Did he steal your lunch or something?

[nullifying]

Doesn't that sound more like you've met too many weird old men? [ and like shouldn't she be more careful?? ]

Um, that's a long story. He's basically the reason where I'm at now... But how do you know him?

[fourtuity]

Maybe, but I don't wanna hear that from you.

[ This is just her life now: weirdos up the wazoo. ]

Long story here as well, but quick summary: sometime after I got dragged into yet another stupid game, even more dumb stuff happened, blah blah, and he helped me out. Not sayin' exactly how, 'cause none of your business.

[ All anyone needs to know about how they met, totally. ]

So now I poke fun at his dinosaur-aged bones, and send weird stuff over the mail to who I'm guessin' is his crush.

[ She shrugs at that last part as if to acknowledge that the old man's never said that, but hey, close enough in her eyes. ]

1/2

[nullifying]

[ Well, that sounds all very much like him (quickly ignoring that part about some stupid game), ending up helping some teenage girl and getting into shenanigans. He puts his fingers on his forehead because he feels a headache coming on—

Ah, there it is. ]

2/3

[nullifying]

... Wait, you're not Clover Field, are you? [ He thought that was just a bad pun on where the hell Hyoubu was at the time?? ]

3/3

[nullifying]

You're the one who glitter bombed my office! [ Among other very pink things that he immediately threw away. And some really suspicious looking pudding?? But the glitter was there for ages and ages!! He was still finding little corners of glitter, even as recent as last week. ]

[ He's really looking around like he might step on a landmine any second now??? ] And it's definitely not a crush!

1/3

[fourtuity]

Whoa. That's sure me, all right.

[ Holy shit? The world's not supposed to be this small. Why does this sorta thing keep happening? ]

2/3

[fourtuity]

[ And considering how Clover's eyes widen more and more as he recounts his mail woes, she certainly has put two and two together. ]

—Ah.

3/3

[fourtuity]

[ Suddenly, she starts hopping in place, pointing directly at him like a kid at a zoo exhibit. ]

Oh my god, you're Andy? That masochist Andy he's totally tsundere about?

[ Yeah, she's completely ignoring all protests about it not being a crush. She's too busy starting to laugh her ass off. ]

1/2 this is going well

[nullifying]

[ omfg, first of all. ] I don't know what he's been telling you, but I'm not a masochist!

2/3 no, wait

[nullifying]

[ And secondly. ] And stop pointing at me like I'm a circus attraction?? [ Rude! ]

3/3

[nullifying]

[ When he calms down, there's some relief that it wasn't just his imagination. AndHyoubu'sthinkingabouthim?Noshutup.Don'tthinkaboutthat. ]

Of course, he'd make types with people just like him though.

[fourtuity]

[ Not going to be letting up with the shit-eating grin and gleeful pointing anytime soon, nope. This gossiper smells blood in the water and won't stop hounding about it until she's satisfied. (Especially since the alternative is dreading how she's going to make her way home again.) ]

I'll have you know that I'm not a fossil, and that he's the one who came up with the invisible ink idea!

[ Glitterbomb is all her though, she'd be willing to cop to that. ]

[nullifying]

You guys wrote in invisible ink? [ Look, he took one look at that letter and then put it in the trash. With the pudding. ]

[fourtuity]

Yeah, he wanted to tell you to go eat shit. You didn't see it?

[ It's been a hot minute, but wow, didn't they leave some clues about that in the package? ]
