1st Magic Bullet

[drank_the_milk]

[There's a new resident on Stevens Road today.  Yuna wakes up to a sunbeam peeking through the window and onto her face, rolling over for a moment before sliding out of bed.  She wanders around the room for a few minutes before walking bleary-eyed into the bathroom to brush her teeth, still yawning and rubbing her eyes into the mirror.  Once she's done with that, she gets halfway back to her room before realizing that there's something wrong with this picture.]

Whoa... hold up a sec!

[Action around 2237 Stevens]

[Not particularly bothering to throw on an actual set of clothes, Yuna runs outside wearing a pink frilly nightgown, staring all around in wide-eyed wonder.]

Huh!  So I guess this must be where you end up after getting turned into a stone statue!  I never expected the afterlife to look so... normal.

[She shrugs to herself, giving a laugh and stretching an arm out above her head.]

Well, guess I should make the best of it!  No sense in getting all bent out of shape.

[And yes, only now does she seem to notice that she's out in the cold with just a nightgown and no shoes.]

...Maybe I should get dressed first, though.

[Action around town]

[Later on, Yuna's still dressed in pajama bottoms, but she's at least got a shirt and a jacket on now as she takes a short jog around Mayfield to get her bearings.]

This place is pretty old fashioned looking!  It's kind of like the Magic World except a lot more boring.  I wonder where the clothing stores are...

[A huge fellow looks up from the kitchen, holding a pot of coffee in his hands. And by huge I mean 8 1/2. He gives her a grave look, and says.]

"I am very sorry you have come here. I am Garviel Loken, and I will do what I can to help you."

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Help me? What do you mean? We're dead, aren't we?

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

"No. I may be once I return home, but we are both definitively alive at present."

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

So... a teleportation spell, then, maybe? But that doesn't explain why I'm not a stone statue right now.

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

"Ah. So you're a psyker then? My... partner is one."

[he shifts. A trifle uncomfortable to be so close to another psyker that he doesn't know well, then pauses. She is but a child. And she does not seem corrupt.]

"Er, and what is this about a stone statue?"

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

The last thing I remember before waking up here is diving in front of a petrification dart to save my friend Makie. Then I started turning to stone, and when I woke up I was in this house.

"Interesting. Another person who died before coming here, or nearly died. The last thing I remember was having a cathedral fall on me, then looking up to see the skies turn to light as my former master unleashed an orbital bombardment on me and my brothers. He always did have a flair for the dramatic."

[Euphie is exploring Mayfield! She turns down one street only to come face to face with a girl in a nightgown, with no shoes.

Blink, blink. Headtilt.]

Oh, hello! It's nice to meet you! But...aren't you cold like that?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

[Yuna laughs, rubbing the back of her head.]

Yeah, now that you mention it, I am...

[geassedmassacre.livejournal.com]

[Euphie pauses.

And then she just laughs, although gently, almost understandingly. She knows what it's like to do something based on pure impulse, after all.]

Maybe you should run inside and get a coat?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, good idea! I'll be back in a sec, okay?

[Yuna gives a wink and a laugh before running back inside for a few minutes. She comes out wearing some thicker pajama bottoms and a light sweater.]

There we go! But man, the clothes in this house are really ugly!

[scentofbauhinia.livejournal.com]

[Okay, random girl outside in her nightclothes.

He's not surprised by this.] ...Aren't you cold?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

A little bit... maybe I should change first.

[She seems relatively unbothered by her new circumstances, though.]

[scentofbauhinia.livejournal.com]

...Yeah. That might be a good idea.

Did you like, just arrive? [yeah he's definitely noticed that]

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I did. Last thing I remember is being turned into a stone statue, and next thing I know, here I am! I always thought the afterlife would look a little more... impressive or something.

[scentofbauhinia.livejournal.com]

[okay he's going to act like that isn't odd at all] Well, like, you're not really in the afterlife... As far as we know anyway. You're in a town called Mayfield.

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Well, that's a lot more boring. How do I get back, then? Not that this place doesn't look nice and all, but I was kind of in the middle of something.

[scentofbauhinia.livejournal.com]

...In the middle of being a statue? [well that sure sounds like something you'd want to hurry back to. not lmao]

You can't leave though.

[Miki is plodding down the road on her morning walk. She notices Yuna wandering around and yells out to her.]

Shouldn't you be getting ready for school?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Huh? School? Why would I be going there?

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

Because it's Thursday.

[Miki suddenly becomes more suspicious.]

You aren't skipping, are you?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Skipping? I thought I was dead! And even if I'm not, I'm on summer break right now anyway.

[Which totally makes sense what with the melting snow in the yard, right?]

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

[Miki looks down, shaking her head in a disappointed manner.]

Tch. The lies that kids use nowadays.

[Miki begins to walk forward towards Yuna, a meaningful smile on her face.]

What happened to respect?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

...So we're not dead?

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

What? No.

[Miki looks blankly at Yuna, partiall because her last thought was thrown off and partially because the slow processor that is Miki's brain is working.]

Oh, you're new aren't you?
