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 ]

It simply does not seem very wise. Though anyone who would wish to call you such a name would surely be able to come up with one on their own.

I certainly did not mind the quiet. And a singing plant seems rather harmless as well, for now. Even though it is singing of homicide.

[signatures]

Oh, I agree. Or come up with much worse.

[ He takes a look around the park. ]

We can only hope that the homicidal tendencies stick to that plant alone.

[likeboudica]

You needn't worry yourself, though, I will refrain from attempting to create any nicknames. [ The smile is definitely cheeky, if a bit shy. ]

That would be for the better. I'm rather enjoying my afternoon and homicidal plants would ruin that, I think.

TESSA STOP BEING SO PRESH

[signatures]

You have my utmost gratitude and appreciation, I assure you.

Well, yes- I find any attempt on one's life tends to ruin the rest of the day, generally. [ His mouth quirks, amused. ]

NEVER

[likeboudica]

I'm glad for it, Mr Eames.

[ Hers twists, not amused now but trying to hide it. She's very far from having a cavalier attitude to attempts on her life. ] It is generally an unpleasant business.

AUUGHHH /FALLS TO KNEES

[ He throws her a casual glance - his curious might be as bad as hers, possibly. ]

Just by imagination?

....... she wouldn't know what to do with you on your knees, Eames, get up.

[likeboudica]

What do you mean, Mr Eames? [ Not deflecting, not really. Just making sure that if she tells him anything, it will be what he wanted to know. She still considers honesty the best policy and the City has done nothing to make her regret that stance. ]

oh okay :c

[signatures]

Well, everyone knows an attempt on one's life is generally an awful thing - I was moreso wondering if you've personal experience with it to be particularly noted about it.

no sadface allowed :|

[likeboudica]

[ Tessa thinks of all that Mortmain's done and gives a tiny shrug. ] They were perhaps not exactly attempts to end my life.

Warnings, then?

much better!

[likeboudica]

No, he certainly wants me to be alive.

[signatures]

I always feel as though that's the worst.

[likeboudica]

Yes. [ said softly, but with conviction. ] I would rather die.
