XANADU OPERA TIME | ALL INVITED

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 ]

[ He could be staring more.

Just maybe not more intently. ]

...the ones you know also sing.

[Getting creepy there, buddy! Have a glare in return.]

They scream when you fry them. It's close enough.

[ Slightly mumbled - ]

That sounds remarkably like murder.

What, you like a few lame plants that much?

It's no different to you if they scream?

[ So much judgment. ]

They're monsters! Who cares if they scream when you take them out?

[It's totally natural to her!]

I imagine they do.

Idiot. Monsters don't care.

[ Silent for a moment. ]

...who lied to you?

Huh? Are you calling me a liar?

I'm telling you whoever said... monsters don't care lied. If it's alive, it can hurt. If it hurts, it cares. It's that simple.

...Hmph. You just sound like a weirdo.

[She says it in a dismissive way that indicates she's really not listening at all.]

[ Mechanically, maybe part habit - ]

...sorry.

[And she doesn't really acknowledge the apology, although she does hear it.]

So who are you supposed to be?

That's a good question.

[ He sighs, passing a hand through his hair. Never mind that. ]

Gilbert -- Nightray. How do you do.

Huh?

[Well, she won't press about it, but she does raise an eyebrow.]

Rita Mordio. And I'm getting sick of listening to that racket.

[ He considers for a moment. ]

...you want to kill it?

[She almost tells the truth, buuut...]

Hmm...I bet fire would do the trick pretty quickly.
