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 ]

[Little things- the inflection in his voice, the sound of his movements... really, Break didn't need eyes to see, but.

Hah. Reassuring? Surely not.

His smile might look possibly, perhaps, maybe a bit kinder for a tenth of a second, but he shows no other embarrassing signals, unlike his companion.]

I'd wager men go without them all the time, but.

I suppose there's merit in eyes, yet.

... if not ears.

[ He fidgets uncomfortably, eyes darting here and there, hunting. That plant isn't the problem, it's the wailing.

Something you'd hear in a circus, or a kitchen, or an - orphanage.]

...it won't stop. I thought it was a child, at first.

[knaveswitness]

And I thought it someone dying- what a buzzard I am.

[Said with a smile and a twirl of cane, and he doesn't seem a buzzard at all.]

[a_parting_word]

[ Have some elbowing, Break, while Gil pretends it's entirely accidental. ]


And this is how you hurry when you think someone's dying?

[knaveswitness]

[Oh, whoops, don't blame the poor blind man for that rap on the elbow with the head of his cane, he can't see you there... !]

Dying while I'm trying to take my daily constitutional...

[a_parting_word]

...nap? Ow - Stop that.
