XANADU OPERA TIME | ALL INVITED

[shall_yield_us]

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 ]

[Bran wanders towards Tessa, but mostly keeps his eyes on the... whatever it is. He wants to be aware in case it makes any sudden movements.

Summer is a ways behind, standing watch -- far enough away to not startle the humans, but close enough to come to Bran's aid if needed.]

Do you know what it is?

[likeboudica]

[ Smiling, pleased to see him. ] Bran, hello.

It appears to be a singing plant, I should think. Beyond that, I do not know.

[branstark]

[Bran nods. The first few things he thinks to say sound silly in his head. He hedges.]

Summer doesn't like it.

Have you ever seen its like before?

[likeboudica]

It is singing of killing people. I'm not certain anyone should like that. Summer is very smart.

[ She turns back to study the plant. ] Neither in my world nor here.

[branstark]

[Despite the bizarre situation, Bran has to smile a little at praise for Summer.]

Nor I. There are trees with faces in my world but they never... They don't speak aloud. Not like this.

[likeboudica]

Trees with faces, truly? My world does not have any such things. But considering the nature of this place, it should not be surprising to find a-- singing plant here.

[branstark]

For true. [He nods.] The old people, the Children of the Forest carved the faces to watch over us. there aren't many left though, except in the North.

This place does have... a lot of strange things.

[likeboudica]

The Children of the Forest? [ Inclining her head, hoping he'll elaborate. Tessa is ever-curious. ]

It rather does, indeed. Though a lot of it is perhaps that we both are from worlds so different from this one. For most people it seems less of a transition, with the exception of the curses.
