[Video/Action] I Don't Think I'm In Candyland Anymore...

[dessert_witch]

(OOC Warning: This character is dangerous. She may eat you if you approach and agitate her.)

Charlotte was soaking wet, her sleeves dragging behind her as she waddled away from the bay. Clenched between her teeth was the communication device which she was now chewing lightly on. Not hard enough to break it but the video had switched on giving anyone watching a very strange view. She was very disoriented.

"Where am I? Where did everything go?" Her words were accented by strange characters that drifted from her as she spoke, though they, like her voice, were a bit distorted due to the device in her mouth. 

"Hungry. Hungry. Cheese. Where are you?" She began moving toward some nearby people, tripping over her own feet and tumbling head over heels, her necklace smacking her in her face.

This wasn't right. This wasn't home... She needed a new home. She needed to make a new home. Somewhere with cheese. Yes... That would be good. Pulling the device out of her mouth, she let it fall to the ground, giving any viewers a clear image as she sat up, manifested a cake, and proceeded to grumpily stuff it into her mouth...

Spirit had taken to poking around the bay in his free time, hoping to catch a glimmer of information about the city. He hadn't been greatly successful, but that hasn't stopped him yet.

He sees the cake appear midair before he sees the girl, and stops in his tracks.

"....hello."

[dessert_witch]

"Girl" might have been somewhat of a strong word when describing the little creature. She looked more like a doll than a person. An animate doll, but still, a doll.

Her head snapped up when he spoke, bits of cake still clinging to her mouth. She glanced to one side, then the other, swallowing.

"Me? You're talking to me?" More of those strange colored characters floated from her, dissolving after a short distance. "Human...?" She frowned a little, standing up, nearly stumbling over, flailing and needing to pause to steady herself. "Are you cheese? Give me cheese! Where is it?"

[notsoholyspirit]

"Yeah, I'm talking to--"

Did she just address gin add human? He might have thought more about this if he didn't get caught up in being asked if he was cheese.

Seeing how she devoured that cake earlier sent an ominous warning, and he took a step back.

"I'm not cheese. There's probably some at the grocery store."

[dessert_witch]

"Grocery store?" She tilted her head, her googly eyes now focusing quite keenly on him. She smiled. It seemed innocent enough, but her teeth were cartoonishly jagged behind those lips and no doubt razor sharp.

She waddled forward, flailing her arms, her too-long sleeves flapping a little as she tried not to fall. "You will take me! You will take me to the grocery store and the cheese. I want to eat cheese. I'm tired of cake. I'm tired of meat. I'm very very hungry."

Fortunately they weren't that far from a small store. They probably had some cheap or snack cheese at the very least.

[notsoholyspirit]

What...even.

Blue eyes focused on the dragging sleeves, on her steps as she tries to stay upright, before falling on the grin and its' associated jagged teeth.

"I can take you to the grocery store."

Spirit takes a wary step back. She was cute, but there was just a touch of something that made him uncomfortable.

"Do you have a name?"

[dessert_witch]

"Really?" She perks up significantly, waddling faster, tumbling head over heels, getting up, and waddling again. She jumped the last short distance, intending to hug his leg. It might be for the best to carry her. She wasn't exactly very quick, and the sooner she got her cheese the sooner she'd be out of his hair.

"Names don't matter. Only cheese matters. Take me! I'm so hungry!" She threw her arms up, several cakes and candies appearing around them.

[notsoholyspirit]

Gripped onto his leg, Spirit gingerly tries to shake himself free. When that us unsuccesful, he bends down and scoops her up--because he is a Papa after all. Taking care of small people is something he's good with.

"Okay. Grocery store to get cheese. We're on it."

And as promised, he carries her to the grocery store and finds some cheese for her
. After paying, he hands the purchased cheese to her and smiles.

"There. Cheese for you!"

[dessert_witch]

She didn't seem to object to being scooped up, nor did she try to bite him (thank goodness) but it wasn't long before she started to get restless... But they arrive at the store soon enough its not a big issue.

What is an issue, on the other hand, is the cheese display. She starts to squirm, reaching out toward the dairy product upon seeing it all. It quickly became obvious that she wanted ALL of the cheese. Of course that wasn't going to happen.

She seemed a bit downcast when he didn't buy at least a third of the cheese stock, though perked right up when it was handed to her.

"Cheese! Cheese! Cheese! Cheese!" she was so excited, sitting down on the spot to eat her prize.

And there were the teeth, just as sharp as he imagined, ripping off the plastic packaging and digging onto the treat, the tiny witch making little happy noises with each bite.

Minako had for once remembered to go shopping for food among other things as at the current moment she was happily carrying bags stuff with food and sweets as she herself was happily munching away on a bar of chocolate.

It wasn't long before she spotted the oddity standing in front of her and she couldn't help but tilt her head slightly.

"Excuse me strange doll thing, but how can you just summon cake like that?" She had to admit, that was an awesome ability and she wished she had it.

Re: action;

[dessert_witch]

Charlotte paused, cheeks still full of cake as she turned to look up at Minako, blinking once and tilting her head somewhat.

Now that she was closer she could feel a faint aura about the doll creature of rather unsettling negativity... Or maybe it was the doll thing's creepy eyes. If Rei were there she could get a clear reading.

It swallowed the cake, rolling over and carefully climbing to its feet, turning to look up at the soldier of venus.

"Yes. But sweets don't matter. I want to eat cheese and I can't make that..." A pause. "Are you cheese?" She seemed to be staring at her yellow hair...

action;

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

Was she cheese? Was the strange doll blind or so something? Or could she not tell the difference between a person and cheese? never the less at the odd wording of what she said she still answered.

"No cheese here. Your looking for something yellow and circular."

[dessert_witch]

The doll most certainly wasn't blind, but her focused gaze never left Minako's hair. She was salivating. "Human! I want chese. Give it to me. You are yellow. You must have cheese!"

The little doll was very insistent, stumbling forward toward her. It was smiling now, lips curled back showing two rows of jagged,likely razor sharp teeth. "I'm so tired of sweets. I don't want to eat meat. You're made of meat, aren't you? Even though you're yellow. I'm hungry. I want to eat cheese. You will show me where it is!"

Her actions didn't seem directly hostile, but that didn't mean she wasn't dangerous.

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

Minako took a step back. Seriously creeped out right now as she wasn't sure what to do next. They didn't seem dangerous at first look, but in her mind being creepy and hell and looking at her like she was a piece of cheese was something to think about. Something to worry about and worry if she will attack at whatever she said next or not.

But she was ready for a spilt second transformation should it call for it, but for now moving away and keeping at a reasonable distance was always the best start.

"For your information, I'm blonde, not yellow. And also I AM NOT CHEESE?!"

[dessert_witch]

The doll paused. "Blonde?" she tilted her head. "But there's cheese that color too." She waddled forward again, tripping and tumbling head over heels, ending face down in the grass. The impact, though tiny, caused several varieties of cookies to manifest and roll away from where she lay face down.

"I want cheese! It's not fair! Why wont you give me any?" As her voice grew more and more tearful, the characters drifting up from her becoming more and more wobbly. She managed to sit up. "Weaaaak. Nothing here to eat. Nothing here." She wiped her eyes with the back of her sleeve-covered hands.

As pathetic as the display was there were for sure some negative vibes coming from the little thing now, though the request for cheese had been completely sincere... An evil force controlled through cheese tributes maybe? No. That was too silly...

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

"Yes, cheese can be that colour, sort of. But hair is not cheese."

Dear god, she has got the thing nearly crying and sending cookies everywhere. That was a waste of cookies in her mind, but never the less she had no idea of what she was even doing right about now. But to stop her from crying maybe finding cheese will help?

This was such a strange day so far.

"We can always find cheese."

[dessert_witch]

It seemed like she could sponaniously make the sweets. So it wasn't really a waste if they were infinite. Still, she was making a mess.

The creature sat up quickly, sniffing, her frown quickly becoming a smile. "Find the cheese? Is the cheese hiding?" Another sniffle, the doll thing sitting up and wiping her eyes before standing. "Human! Do you know where it is hiding? You must show me! I want to eat it! I want to eat it all! It tastes so much better than meat!"

Her smile widened into a jagged razor-sharp grin and she waddled forward, trying to attach herself to Minako's leg

Well this wasn't exactly something he thought he would see everyday. But he didn't exactly react like some people would think. Never the less he figured she was new.

"Hello there. You must be new, am I right?"

Re: action;

[dessert_witch]

Charlotte tilted her head at an odd angle to look at him. She was certainly new seeing how absolutely soaked she was... Or maybe she had tried to go swimming in the bay. Regardless her attention was fully focused on him now.

"New? Is that where I am?" She blinked. "Human. Is there cheese here? Is there lots of it? I want to eat it. Are you cheese too? Can I eat you?"

action;

[behindthefakesmile]

"No, new means you've never been here before. Genessia is the name of the place you are currently residing in." He said hoping the explanation helped at all.

He soon shakes his head a little bit. "No, people aren't cheese, cheese can be found in convenient shops mostly and grocery stores if that is what you want."

[dessert_witch]

"Ohh... Genessia..." She frowned a bit. "Genessia. Genessia..." She seemed to dismiss the thought just as quickly, looking back up at him. She leaned forward and carefully pushed herself to her feet, nearly losing her balance, having to flail for a moment.

"Human. You can be cheese if I think you are. But you don't taste like cheese. I'm very very hungry." She began waddling toward him, absently picking back up her communication device. She was already smiling. "Where is the convenient shop? I want cheese. Take me there so I can eat it."

[behindthefakesmile]

It seemed rather convenient that the shops were where he was originally heading too in the first place as he needed a few things to be able to make some food.

"Alright, I guess I can let you stick around until you buy some cheese. Just make sure you got some money on your first. I believe you might have been given some in an envelope."

[dessert_witch]

"Cheese!" She hopped forward, trying to firmly attach herself to his leg. A pause, the little witch looking up at him. She reached down behind her cape and pulled out the envelope, offering it up to him. It was half chewed and some of the money was damaged beyond use, but there was enough there for cheese.

"Here. For cheese. Get me cheese. So I can eat it."

[behindthefakesmile]

The weird little creature seemed rather pleasant he had to admit as he bent over to take the envelope from her and check how much was given. Once he looked he knew how much he could buy for her. "Okay, I'll buy you cheese and you just stay outside the store, okay? Can you do that?"

Lucifer had been observing Charlotte's interactions the whole day. It was interesting to say the least. As night descended and the people around Charlotte started to disappear, Lucifer emerged a few steps behind her. A grim grin emerging against his features.

"Quite the healthy appetite", he said with a low drawl.

[dessert_witch]

As the greetings died down toward the end of the day, Charlotte eventually wandered into an area of town about a block away from the hospital and had promptly vanished into thin air, taking several civilians with her. If he watched long enough he would notice the nearby humans growing restless. Depressed. They would become aggressive toward each other and some would begin eating whatever food they could get their hands on. The news would later report a huge number of suicides in the area.

As Lucifer entered the area, he would find himself in the little witch's labyrinth. A sort of pocket dimension filled with all sorts of sweets and confections as well as a large amount of over-sized medical equipment. Giant scalpels and syringes and a variety of other things.

Fortunately she had not had the chance to make it very large yet and he found her quite easily. She was sitting in a chair with a tea party spread before her, gnawing on a femur that had been completely stripped of meat. All around the chair were the piles and piles of cheese she managed to collect, tended to by spindly stick like nurse creatures with blue skin and a target where their face should be. She looked up as he came in, frowning, the femur cracking in half between her teeth.

"Human! This is my cheese!" It was almost a growl. Now that she was no longer groggy she was far more aggressive. The mouse creatures and nurse things all turned their attention toward him...
