XANADU OPERA TIME | ALL INVITED




WHEN: Jan. 15 | the Xanadu gardens.
CHARACTERS: Everyone.
SUMMARY: we interrupt your regular Xanadu viewing for the following special reminder: ...the visit ain't over til the bloody plant sings.

That's right: our green belle been giving rather obnoxious titillating performances in Xanadu, to what can only be the... enjoyment... of certain Citizens. Adding injury to insult, it's quite possible that a couple of residents have also captured the plant's tune on film, and now the video's been turned into a network viral phenomenon!

But as Citizens surely know, every grand artist needs a doting live audience: come get dibs on more plant footage? Save someone from its evil clutches? Help a poor soul that's got lost in the gardens' great expanse? Get the plant to sign with your talent agency? Embark on a mystical quest to get it to shut up?

Just put your chlorophyll-tinted glasses on, and anything is possible.


[ ooc: Find whatever excuse to throw your character in Xanadu, tag someone new, and all around: GET IN HERE. Just as a note: hearing the plant is definitely optional, so please don't think it's an overwhelming sound that'd keep your character up at night or some such. It's just a log prompt. XD ]

I-I won't!

[He startled her a bit since she was focused on the plant, but by no means was she going to get in range of it so it could snap at her.]
errandry: (nobody here but us chickens.)

[personal profile] errandry 2012-01-16 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry 'bout that!

[ Kazu can't really blame her—he's all fascination for Audrey II himself. C'mon, he's fifteen years old and it's a singing carnivorous plant. Some deep thought goes here as he jams his hands in his pockets and regards it from Estelle's side. ]

Kinda stands out, huh.
firstaid: (clueless)

[personal profile] firstaid 2012-01-16 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, there's no need to apologize.

[She smiles a bit sheepishly at him before her normal soft expression returns, and she stares at the plant once more. It must be native to this world, or so she thinks. Or perhaps, someone else brought it from their world and planted it here. That wouldn't be a terribly farfetched theory either. So many things running through her head right now...]

It really does. I wonder if we can converse with it?
errandry: (hippopotamus: spelled B-U-C-C-H...)

[personal profile] errandry 2012-01-16 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
It's gotta be able to hear if it's keeping on-key like that...
firstaid: (adorable; happy; giggles)

[personal profile] firstaid 2012-01-16 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, you're right...

[And leave it to Estelle to test it out as she calls out towards the plant.]

Hello? My name is Estellise, how are you doing today?

[And she is going to wait for a reply... one that will probably never come. So... plants probably hate her too. Why is she not surprised...?]
errandry: (come... again...)

[personal profile] errandry 2012-01-16 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
Wh—you sure you wanna ask that?

[ The plant, however, cranes warnly in Estelle's direction and croons. Frankly, it should not be allowed for eyeless things to leer like that. ]

Hey, little lady, hello--
you're lookin' cute as can be.
You're lookin' mighty sweet.
and don't you worry, as for me,
it's a pleasure to meet!
firstaid: (obvious glee)

[personal profile] firstaid 2012-01-16 03:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I admit the greeting is something that I'm not entirely used to, but it's a pleasure to meet you as well.

[Her expression softens, but she still doesn't approach it. Something about a plant that could possibly eat her makes her very sure that she won't ever approach, after all, this could be its way of trying to lure its prey in...

And then she turns to Kazu, with a large grin, stating the obvious.]

It replied to me!
errandry: (WHEN DO I GET TO TOP.)

[personal profile] errandry 2012-01-17 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ No, Estelle, Kazu's pretty sure it just hit on you. ]

Thiiiiiis is feeling way too much like a bad musical...
firstaid: (Giggle)

[personal profile] firstaid 2012-01-17 03:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[If it just hit on her, she's completely and utterly oblivious to it. Maybe it's better that way.]

Maybe it is, but it's kind of fun!

[Fun from a distance. She's still keeping a respectable distance between herself and the plant. In fact, she may have unconsciously taken a step backward.]
errandry: (violence is not the answer.)

[personal profile] errandry 2012-01-18 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
As long as the singing isn't contagious, I guess!
firstaid: (curious; huh; attention diverted)

[personal profile] firstaid 2012-01-18 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I don't feel like singing if that's what you're saying...

[Sarcasm, she doesn't always get it...]
errandry: (QUESTIONS ABOUT SCIENCE.)

how did I miss this. /wrecks your nirvana

[personal profile] errandry 2012-01-21 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
Around here, you never know.

[ the worst thing is: that isn't sarcasm. ]
firstaid: (the world; ocean; adoration)

it was wrecked long ago

[personal profile] firstaid 2012-01-21 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, we really don't. I don't really enjoy constantly being on my guard, however, it seems like it's a natural state for all of us to be in now since we never know what the deities are planning next.
errandry: (w-what is psychosexuality. for 300.)

[personal profile] errandry 2012-01-22 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
... I figure it could be a lot worse, you know? At least we know when curse days aren't gonna happen.
