Something Rotten Comes [(Action) / (Text/Audio/Video)]

[cadventuretime]

Spontaneous (Action)[Genessia]

[Lots of things going on in Genessia, among are the presence of some new arrivals. Of these, there's one... noticeably green girl wandering around Genessia. She approaches various people with an animated flair. A few of them seem to pay her some mind, while a few others comment that maybe she should go see a doctor for that arm. None of them seem all that interested in her for very long.]

[She does not seem to bothered by this.]

[She continues to move, person to person, when her eyes happened across the next person that passes her by. With a spirited wave she makes her way over and flashes an enthusiastic smile.]

Hi! I don't know you, and call me crazy, but I would really like to take you for lunch.

Testing Testing One Two (Text/Audio/Video)

[The technology of this world was interesting and was beyond the scope of what Rotty had seen, with maybe the exception of Techno Baron and the Pirate Queen. Vexed, but not swayed, the zombie girl took to her device with unusual (for her) measure. One would find on the screen:]

Testing testing. The quick haired genie bumped over the lazy fox. Does anybody copy?

[Before testing the audio:]

"Helloooo...? Zombie girl here~ Is anybody listening? One could call this a call before the grave~"

[And then, of course, video.]

MAYDAY! MAYDAY! THE SQUID BARON LAST SEEN DESPERATELY HITTING ON GIRLS WITH BASEBALLS! HE'S CALLING IT A LAST PITCH EFFORT!

[ The short, French accented vampire blinks at all that. ]

Well. You have my attention.

[cadventuretime]

Fab-tacular! This is waaaaay more convenient than using a Chit Chat Spider! Those roaming web charges can really put a dent in your finances, and it never nearly got as clear a connection as this!!

[scarlet_devil]

Reliable too. I can't recall a time when this thing broke on me. Lady Remilia Scarlet, by the way, Guardian of Everglade and major member of the Undead Rights movement.

[cadventuretime]

Hiya Remi! [Too familiar? Too late, she's already pleased with how it sounds.]

You sound super important. I'm flattered!

THE QUICK HAIRED GENIE BUMPED OVER THE LAZY FOX.

[Yup, he sure did copy all right. But that strange phrase roused a burning question in his brain.]

HOW CAN HAIR BE QUICK!?

[cadventuretime]

With lots of conditioning!

[Nailed it.]

[cool_skeleton]

I SEE! THAT EXPLAINS THE GREASE TOO!! IT'S AN HONOR TO MEET ONE SO KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT HAIR.

[If only the MTT beauty products we're still around...]

COULD THIS BE A NEW PERSON!? I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS NUMBER. IF YOU ARE, PLEASE VOTE FOR PAPYRUS!! THERE'S ONLY A WEEK BEFORE THE POLLS CLOSE, AND YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS OUT!

[cadventuretime]

Well, yeah! There's lots of call for it, especially with that certain genie. She probably gets through two month's supply in a week!

And indeedy I am! What's up with this whole guardian-thingie? What are you guarding? Is it worth stealing?

[cool_skeleton]

WHAT HUNGRY HAIR!!

WHAT'S UP IS MY POPULARITY! POTENTIALLY! I'M GUARDING FAYREN AND

[In text you can't read his dot dot dot's]

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO ANSWER THAT. I'M PRETTY SURE YOU CAN'T STEAL A CITY AND THE PLACES AROUND IT.

PLEASE DON'T REGARDLESS!!

[cadventuretime]

[She could probably figure it out. Not a good idea to challenge this one.]

Aw, way to ruin my fun, Paps! Okay, but you'll owe me!

[Rotty will remember that.]

So, what's there to do around here, Mr. Soon-to-be-guardian?

[cool_skeleton]

STEALING ISN'T FUN!!! BUT I CAN TELL YOU WHAT IS!! DID I MENTION VOTING FOR ME?

AFTER YOU DO THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS HANG OUT WITH PEOPLE! I'VE DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES, AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!

YOU COULD ALSO WORK A COOL JOB, LIKE THE ONE I HAVE! (THOUGH THIS COULD CHANGE DEPENDING ON MY VOTE QUANTITY. STAY TUNED!) TORCHWOOD IS A GREAT PLACE TO WORK. EVEN IF THE CITY IT'S IN KIND OF SUCKS.

AND IF YOU'RE PATIENT, THERE'S GOING TO BE A SINGING COMPETITION SOON WITH YOURS TRULY! IT'LL BE A FEAST FOR THE EARS!!!

[cadventuretime]

[Pretty basic. But one thing did stand out to her.]

Singing competition? What kind of singing? What's the prize?

ignore my lack of text font plz & ty

[cool_skeleton]

YES! OR ANY KIND OF MUSIC AT ALL. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE OTHER CONTESTANTS HAVE PLANNED, BUT MY KIND WILL BE THE BEST KIND!!!

IF YOU PLACE WELL YOU'LL EARN A BUNCH OF MONEY. IF YOU WRITE YOUR OWN MUSIC YOU'LL GET A FULL RIDE TO COLLEGE! PEDAL TO THE METAL FOR EDUCATION! EIGHT CYLINDERS TO LEARNING!!!

it will be ignored but not forgotten o_o

[cadventuretime]

Oh, feeling confident, huh? You better be careful up there, or you might lose your spine!

Sounds like fun!

[But something that she'll probably just watch. To actually put in a showing sounds gasp like EFFORT.]

sob

[cool_skeleton]

OH NO, I WAS ALREADY WATCHING OUT FOR BREAKING LEGS!! THE STAGE IS MORE HAZARDOUS TO BONES THAN I THOUGHT.

I'LL MAKE SURE IT IS!! THERE'S A LOT OF GOOD TV HERE TOO. THE GUARDIAN DEBATES WILL BE ONE TO WATCH! I'M ALSO PRODUCING A LITTLE SOMETHING OF MY OWN, BUT YOU WON'T FIND IT ANYWHERE BUT THE PAPYRUS CHANNEL!! STAY TUNED!!!

[He means his diplomatic soiree. Now that'll be what gets the eyeballs, mark his capitalized words!]

[Action]

[burnt_offering]

[This is the best day that Ace has had in ages. There is nothing like a stranger who shows up in a good mood, and wants to feed him.] You wanna take me out for lunch? Yeah, let's do this! Where do you wanna go?

[cadventuretime]

Well... its more like take you in.

[A mischievous grin came to her face. Kid must not know what a zombie is...]

[Better for her, then.]

Hmm, anywhere will do. Probably somewhere dark and quiet, though. You know, for the mood. HEE

[Should she start with the thigh? Kinda lean, but a meal's a meal!]

[burnt_offering]

For the mood? Take me in?

[Is she... flirting? Oh, damn. Ace didn't know she was looking for a date. And he pulls his hand up and holds the brim of his hat awkwardly. He doesn't like hurting a girl's feelings, and she's coming on strong. But he's not interested at all.] Look, I'm gonna have to pass. You seem nice, but sorry. I'm taken. So you're going to have to take someone else in.

[cadventuretime]

[And another one bites the dust!]

Ohh, whaaat? You were totally leading me on! Tease!!

[She pouts, pulling away from Portgas in a dejected huff.]

[burnt_offering]

[Ace blinks, and shakes his head apologetically.] I thought you just wanted to treat me to lunch! I didn't mean to lead you on. I'm just not used to attention from girls, y'know?

[cadventuretime]

Whaa, really? I don't get it. You're pretty cute. [That thought is almost enough to get her out of her pout.]

Are you sure you're not being dense?

[burnt_offering]

I didn't really even know any girls until I got to Genessia. I mean, besides from when I was pretty young. I lived on a boat full of men, save for the nurses. And they weren't interested in anything but their work.

[He wasn't interested either, though.

Ace shakes his head. He doesn't think he was being dense...] I'd occasionally get girls that looked at me when I went into town. But it wasn't like they went for it, or I went for it. It was a few and far between kinda situation. So it's not like I tried to lead you on, I'm just not used to ladies giving me that kinda attention.

[cadventuretime]

Oh, huh.

Yeah, we get that sometimes. Folks going on some big adventure and not coming back with any real idea of what its like to be with a girl.

They usually have friends that teaches them the ropes. Take them under their wing. Let them fly like an eagle into the jaws a dragon. Chomp.

[She's still hungry.]

[burnt_offering]

Yeah, well, that's not important anymore. It's not like I'm gonna get with a girl at this point anyway.

[Yeah. He's starting to notice that.] You want to go get something to eat anyway? I think you've got food on the brain.

[cadventuretime]

I would LOVE a brain! Are you offering?

[In which Portgas accidentally nails her favorite food!]

[She doesn't really care about that first thing, really.]
