The Deck - Sunday afternoon

[heromaniac]

Momoko was determined to make up for all the hours she had spent indoors watching that AWESOME new sentai series, and the radio this morning had left her with no illusions that this was 'one of those weekends', which promised much entertainment. So she set up the sun umbrella to keep any rain off of her, and was sitting on the deck with a ton of snacks (and even some she was willing to share), a camera with a fresh memory card, a spare memory card, and a folder full of legal citations and arguments she'd pulled from the web.

Look, she was still worried about that judge getting away with stuff, okay? Maybe it wouldn't all be usable, but it was at least some ideas, right? She was trying to be a responsible legal... person. Sure she didn't have to be at work until Monday, but Justice didn't take days off!

...

Okay, so she also had a bag full of used manga beside her, too.

So when there wasn't someone visiting or being crazy within zoom range, Momoko was alternating between legal papers and a volume of Wan Pīsu... and hoping the pirates in this series got more interesting. And cute. Bleah.

Scully was staying out in the sunlight. Thank you very much. Yesterday's encounter with Kate was partially explained by Radio last night, but for all she knew, Kate really was a completely amoral vampire now. A trip to the Church for holy water might be in order.

"Hi," she said, book of Russian in hand. And gun on and prominently displayed.

[heromaniac]

Momoko had her hand on her camera, not sure yet if Scully was Scully or someone else. "Hi! You're wearing your gun?" Which could mean anything with her friend.

[showmetheproof.livejournal.com]

"I'm waiting for someone else to try to bite me."

That's reassuring, Scully. "Well, not waiting, exactly..."

[heromaniac]

"Bite you... Oh! Radio said you were attacked; what happened?"

[showmetheproof.livejournal.com]

"Kate's a vampire." And a bitch! "She tried to chomp me as soon as I walked out of my room. I burned her with my cross," she pointed to it. "Then got back to my room for my gun." Thus, gun now. Her expression became darker. "Do you think that's just a weekend thing?"

[heromaniac]

"Vampire? A real one?" Momoko's expression darkened for a moment as well. Part of her was suddenly rumbling with vague but dark memories of an island overrun with vampires, and she wondered if this was somehow connected... But that had been a different TIME, right? And anyway, not everyone was a vampire... Someone was Paddington Bear, after all.

"I think it is. It happens a lot, people become other people. I was three different people once. Usually it all sorts itself out when Monday comes around."

... "And if not, I'm totally going to start patrolling. No way I'm letting them have this island."

[showmetheproof.livejournal.com]

"Wait, have vampires taken over some other island?" Scully asked, alarmed. "And I was someone else a weekend or so ago, but I didn't try to kill anyone!"

No, she just walked around with an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on her back.

[heromaniac]

"It was a different world, and I'm told it got fixed, but yeah." Momoko set her camera down, finally convinced it was Scully Scully, if she remembered being weird before. "It's totally random, who you change into. I've never been able to figure it out. One time, Rikku and I both changed into real sisters!"

A jumbo marshmallow arcs through the air to bounce off of her head.

Stealthily!

[heromaniac]

Momoko blinked and looked up from the manga to stare at the umbrella - Yes, it's still there - then to her lap. A marshmallow? "It's raining marshmallows now?"

She looked out onto the island, curious and eager. The idea of toasted marshmallows was suddenly totally awesome!

[weldedtomyspine]

There does not appear to be a rain of marshmallows. Even though another one arcs through the air toward her.

[heromaniac]

"Eh?" Okay. If it wasn't raining marshmallows, the only other option was, "Jaime Reyes, are you bored?"

She tried to frown as she turned around to try to find him, he was wasting food after all, but her grin was fairly evident.

[weldedtomyspine]

Jaime snickered.

But didn't answer.

Though he did toss another marshmallow at her.

[heromaniac]

It bopped her on the nose.

"Hey!" was a girl gonna have to pout? "Are you trying to lure me into some weird trap?" Ooh, she hadn't thought of it, but maybe he wasn't himself...

She reached for her camera. "That is you, right, Jaime?"

[weldedtomyspine]

Another snicker.

And another marshmallow.

But still no answer.

[heromaniac]

And Momoko caught that one, now with an idea of where he was at... not that she could have missed him considering how badly he was hidden.

She popped the marshmallow in her mouth and reached for the package of Oreos beside her. Whispering a small apology to the Nabisco people, she rips it open and flings a couple in Jaime's direction.

Please keep in mind, Jaime, she uses a YO-YO while flying. Throwing cookies in a straight line? Not gonna be much of a challenge.

All this rage inside of him made the Beast mostly just trash the room he'd found himself in yesterday, but now he wanted to get to the bottom of this. He found his way outside of this strange castle, and found the poor humans who would have to deal with his wrath.

He was just so angry at everything...not to mentioned worried that all hopes of turning back were lost because he could not find where the Rose may be.

He burst onto the deck with a snarl and a dramatic whipping of his cloak. "I demand to know what is going on here!" he shouted, as menacingly as he could, and, being quite a formidable beast with a lot of teeth, hopefully succeeded quite well.

[heromaniac]

He was doing quite well!

Momoko jumped to her feet at the roar, her hand immediately going for her power compact... and losing the apple she was munching on and her page in the manga. Ugh. If this guy didn't look a lot like her Miyako's boyfriend, she'd be more annoyed than she was.

"Eh?!" She stared him down... From a distance. He was scary looking and sounding, but that totally didn't mean he was evil. Besides, he was probably a student. "What's going on, is that you're slamming doors and yelling and scaring people for no reason!"

[daventryprince.livejournal.com]

"What is going on," said the Beast with a snarl as he pulled himself up to his full height, which was considerable, and glared down at the little girl, "is exactly what I want to know. Where is my castle? Why am I here? What evil magic is this?"

Because more troublesome magic was just what he needed.

[heromaniac]

Hey! Her height was genetic, okay?

Momoko glared up (and up) at him. "Then ask politely! I'm totally not answering anything that's growled or snarled or bellowed or roared."

She slowly removed her compact from her belt, just in case. He may be a student on normal days, but he was totally going to be a bruised student today if he tried anything.

[daventryprince.livejournal.com]

Another roar ripped out of the Beast at this girl's defiance, and, whoops, there went a deck chair, flying towards the lawn. "I will not ask politely of a commoner!" he shouted. "I deserve an answer."

Oh, Adam. When would you learn that this is exactly the thinking that got you into this whole beast mess in the first place?

[heromaniac]

Momoko was silent, watching the chair to make sure no one got hurt, then turning back to the... monster. Her face was Not Happy.

"You don't deserve anything, except a good thrashing. You're being completely disrespectful. Manners like that and you think I'm a commoner?"

[daventryprince.livejournal.com]

"Aren't you?" the Beast snarled with contempt.

[showmetheproof.livejournal.com]

Scully already had her gun pointed at him.

"Who the hell are you?"

[daventryprince.livejournal.com]

"That is none of your concern!" the Beast barked, snarling at the redhead and her measly little weapon. "Tell me where I am!"
