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 ]

Probably scared it to death. [ Doctor, so mean. ]

Well, sure. Bigger plants, they need more fuel. Bigger bugs also an option, of course.

[iwasherefirst]

Oi! [Instinct makes her react in Jackie's defense and then well...] Might have a point.

[She nods a little.] Still...bit...scary, I guess.

[leathered]

I'm not recommending we become friends, that's for sure. Be a bit embarrassing to go back to your mum and say you got eaten by a plant. She wouldn't take it well.

[iwasherefirst]

[Rose gives a little giggle snort.] So we're not investigatin' alien plants 'cause of my mum?

[Yes it does amuse her that the Doctor isn't afraid of fleets of Dalek and Cities of Cybermen but is afraid of her mother. With good reason too.]

[leathered]

Didn't say we wouldn't investigate. Just... from a safe distance. Unless we do catch it eating people. I've pulled a few back from the brink. [ Headshake. Oh, you silly apes. ]

[iwasherefirst]

From a safe distance. [She nods. Oh she doesn't doubt that people will get close enough to be eaten.]

We're a curious lot. What can I say?

[leathered]

That maybe you should consider the link between curious and dangerous a little more closely.

[ Like he's one to talk. He turns his back to the plant, anyway. Watching it sing has gotten a little dull. Comfortably he crosses his arms and smiles. ]

So many civilizations represented here. I like that.

[iwasherefirst]

[That makes Rose laugh and she gives him an 'are you serious' look.]

Wouldn't be a thing for you to do if we considered that link more closely.

[She glances around them and nods.]

Yeah. Thought you might.

[leathered]

No idea what you're talking about. [ Totally innocent. ]

'S like everyone coming to me, 'stead of the other way wrong. Could almost get used to this.

[iwasherefirst]

[She smirks at him and that turns into a bit of a laugh.]

Set up your own business. General univser savin'.

[leathered]

Put my name on the door and file taxes. [ He laughs too. ] Not that old yet, I don't think.

[iwasherefirst]

[She grins back at him, nudging him a bit with her shoulder] Not yet, nah.
