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!

"Whoa," she said, "These are really small records!" She followed happily.

Re: Your game, so... do they find Elvis?

[imjustaman]

"They're called compact discs," he said. "You play them on a CD player."

Re: Your game, so... do they find Elvis?

[andstitch]

"Nani" who couldn't afford CDs or DVDs "says that CDs are traps for little girls who don't eat all their spam...." She said, suddenly wary.

Re: Your game, so... do they find Elvis?

[imjustaman]

"I have never heard any such thing," Sephiroth said. "They're just a device to play music on."

Re: Your game, so... do they find Elvis?

[andstitch]

"..... Nani.... LIED?!"

Re: Your game, so... do they find Elvis?

[imjustaman]

... Hm. Maybe he's getting in over his head. He doesn't want to turn her against her sister, and the sister isn't here to ask what was meant.

"Perhaps she was joking?"

Re: Your game, so... do they find Elvis?

[andstitch]

"You don't joke about Elvis!"

Re: Your game, so... do they find Elvis?

[imjustaman]

Sephiroth can't fathom what reason there would be to scare Lilo about something so harmless, unless it was a joke or ...

"Perhaps she honestly believed it?"

Maybe her family was wildly superstitious and afraid of more modern technology? He had met people like that.

Re: Your game, so... do they find Elvis?

[andstitch]

She considered that. "I... guess that could be... are you saying you know more about monsters and stuff than Nani?" she asked, almost accusingly.

Re: Your game, so... do they find Elvis?

[imjustaman]

"Not necessarily," he said. "But we do have many monsters here that I doubt you have back home."

Re: Your game, so... do they find Elvis?

[andstitch]

"That I need to make friends with and help?"

Re: Your game, so... do they find Elvis?

[imjustaman]

He looked worried at that. "The monsters here aren't friendly. They attack anyone who gets close."

Re: Your game, so... do they find Elvis?

[andstitch]

"So did most of Stitch's cousins before we met them," she said, unconcerned.

Re: Your game, so... do they find Elvis?

[imjustaman]

"What did they do?" he asked, wondering if he wanted to know.

Re: Your game, so... do they find Elvis?

[andstitch]

"One of them froze things. One caused earth quakes. One insulted everyone. One shot fire balls. One stole electricity and zapped people. One ate everyone's hair. One tried to flood the isle. One ate trash but then turned toxic cause of it and nearly destroyed the town. One makes sandwiches. One hypnotized people..." Once again she will keep going if not stopped.

Re: Your game, so... do they find Elvis?

[imjustaman]

Well, most of that sounded horrifying. Especially the hair monster. (Yes, he found that the most horrifying.) But ...

"What was so terrible about the sandwiches?"

Re: Your game, so... do they find Elvis?

[andstitch]

"Nothing," he said. "Well... they bothered Gantu. But Ruben just had a special interest. He really likes sandwiches, you know."

Re: Your game, so... do they find Elvis?

[imjustaman]

"So then he wasn't trying to hurt people like the others were?"

Re: Your game, so... do they find Elvis?

[andstitch]

"Nah. But the others didn't really want to hurt people either. Mostly. They were just being what they were made to be."

Re: Your game, so... do they find Elvis?

[imjustaman]

"... They were deliberately made to freeze things and eat hair?" More horror at the hair monster. Who would deliberately create something so vile?

Re: Your game, so... do they find Elvis?

[andstitch]

"Uh huh." She nodded. "Exactly."

Re: Your game, so... do they find Elvis?

[imjustaman]

"... Why on Gaia would he want to destroy hair?!"

Yes, he was fixated on that. He loved his hair.

Re: Your game, so... do they find Elvis?

[andstitch]

"Well... Jumba just wanted an experiment to cut his hair so he didn't have to pay a barber... but Clippy likes hair more than Jumba expected, so he ate all of it. Now Jumba only has three hairs."

Re: Your game, so... do they find Elvis?

[imjustaman]

Ah, so it had been an accident. But the final pronouncement sent such horror through him that it took tremendous willpower not to sweep his hair around to his front and hold it protectively. "Why didn't it grow back?!"

Re: Your game, so... do they find Elvis?

[andstitch]

"Clippy is reaaaal good. When Clippy eats something it stays eaten." she nodded.
