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 ]

[ She shrugs. ] I'll feel it coming. No plant is going to get the best of me. I'll take its dirt if I have to.

[errandry]

Yeah, well, that's a lot of dirt. What do you mean, feel it coming?

[beifongbandit]

I mean that I see better with my feet than you see with your eyes.

[ She grins a little. ]

1/2

[errandry]

[ ... too many responses, many of them likely insensitive. MUST NOT PICK ON THE BLIND KID...

—though, actually, she's standing pretty firmly, IS SHE REALLY BLIND. ]

[errandry]

Yeah, yeah, you can say that after you grow eyeballs on your toes. You got magic or something?

[beifongbandit]

Close enough. [ She stomps a foot, looking pleased with herself. ] I read the vibrations in the ground.

[errandry]

What, like bat sonar?

[beifongbandit]

I don't have to shout to make it work like a bat does.

[errandry]

[ suddenly paying a lot more attention. ]

Without using any vibrations on your own or anything? Seriously?

[beifongbandit]

Everything that moves, vibrates. I don't need to make my own. Of course, I do. That's how earthbending works.

[errandry]

I haven't heard about earthbending. Is there anything you can't sense coming with that?

[beifongbandit]

If it doesn't touch the ground, I can't see it coming. And I don't get along with wood.

[errandry]

Everything's gotta touch the ground eventually, though.

[beifongbandit]

Yeah, but if that something is a bomb, then I'm out of luck. My friends try to help me there.

[errandry]

Guess it wouldn't work for something fast like that...

[ thinking this over. :|a ]

You don't run into a lot of bombs, though, yeah?

[beifongbandit]

Not really. Not since the war is over. But you never know.

[errandry]

War, huh. Must be pretty handy for everything else, though.

[beifongbandit]

I get around. [ She grins. ] Better than a lot of people. Eyesight is totally overrated.

[errandry]

Yeah, if you can control something like earthbending, I bet. Were you born with it or what?

[beifongbandit]

Yeah, pretty much. I had to learn how to use it, but I learned from the best.
