Event: Mambo de Chocobo Mingle Post

[fatedhearts]

((OOC: Event posts can either be top-levels here or separate posts to the Logs or Network comms!))

It starts on what should have been another ordinary day.

“Wark?”

You may be at the hotel, shopping in a store, eating out at a restaurant, or anywhere else in Edge. A large bird is looking at you. Or walking around the building. Or trying to eat some food anywhere it sees some.

There are more such birds. They come in many different colors. And they are everywhere, getting into everything.

Soon ads go up around town about the wayward chocobos. They escaped from some trucks and the truckers will pay to get them back. Time to load up on greens, bring a friend or two, and try to bring them in!

"As I recall, a giant blob monster that attacked and dissolved people."

Not pleasant either, but he'd sooner let a child watch that than an all-out modern gore fest.

"NEAT! I wanna see it!"

Re: Later

[imjustaman]

"Heh. Well, maybe we can, if there's still copies here."

He had no idea if it had endured in the last decade.

Re: Later

[andstitch]

"Let's go see!"

[imjustaman]

"We can try the library, perhaps?" He wasn't sure where else to look. He didn't have any subscriptions to streaming services.

No... life-streaming services?

[andstitch]

"Libraries?" she asked, wrinkling her nose. Books weren't as much fun as movies.

LOL.

[imjustaman]

"They have DVDs there," he said. "They used to have videocassettes, but I believe they phased those out...."

Re: LOL.

[andstitch]

"Oh! Do you think they have records too?"

Re: LOL.

[imjustaman]

"They might," he said. "I'm not certain."

Re: LOL.

[andstitch]

"Elvis?" she asked, hopefully.

Re: LOL.

[imjustaman]

"I ... am not familiar with that singer," he had to admit.

Re: LOL.

[andstitch]

She stopped and stared at him. "You.... don't... know the KING?!" she shrieked.

Re: LOL.

[imjustaman]

He winced. "He is from your world, I assume? As far as I know, we haven't had contact with your world until now."

Re: LOL.

[andstitch]

"No! There hasta be some in the library! Let's go look!" And if not, she'd sing every song if she had to!

Re: LOL.

[imjustaman]

"We'll look," he promised. "The library isn't far from here. We can walk."

Hopefully the store owner wouldn't be too upset that he was leaving the chocobos in here for now. Getting Lilo involved in something that wouldn't cause everything to topple over seemed an important goal too.

Re: LOL.

[andstitch]

She nodded, having mostly forgotten about the chocobos as she began babbling at him all kinds of trivia about Elvis.

Re: LOL.

[imjustaman]

He was used to rapid-fire babbling and managed to keep up with what she was saying as they walked. While he still wasn't sure they would find anything of Elvis, he couldn't swear they wouldn't, either. Especially since he wasn't that up on any music other than classical.

The library was new, just like the other buildings in Edge, and modern, with three full levels. Surely something so large would indeed have music records.

Re: LOL.

[andstitch]

"WHOA! I don't think I've ever seen a building that big that wasn't a hotel!"

Re: LOL.

[imjustaman]

"It is impressive," he said. "Let's go inside." He knew his way around all the book sections he liked. He wasn't sure of anything else, however.

Re: LOL.

[andstitch]

"Okay! We gotta find records!"

Re: LOL.

[imjustaman]

"Yes...." He looked around awkwardly and then spotted the directory. "This should tell us." He went over and looked at it. "Music is on the second floor." He found the escalators.

Re: LOL.

[andstitch]

"Whoa! Fancy!" she said, pleased. "I wonder if I can run down faster than it can go up!"

Re: LOL.

[imjustaman]

"I wouldn't recommend trying it in here," he said. "The librarians wouldn't like it."

Re: LOL.

[andstitch]

"Don't you ever wanna do anything fun?"

Re: LOL.

[imjustaman]

"Heh. Apparently we have different ideas of fun," he remarked.
