[Action/Video]

[simon_petrikov]

[There were always so many of those strange cocoons in the Bay. No one who woke up there ever seemed to question if there were other people in them or not. Surely if they weren't ALL in the Bay, people still found some. But did anyone ever check? Was there any care given to the other pods? No. People just left them, and carried on with their own business, wanting to get to their own world. No one cared for anyone else, really.]

[One such pod's lid gets blown off in the dank cave at the Bay, and from within spring out crackles of what look like ice shaped like lightning bolts - accompanied by frenzied shouting.]

YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE!! AHAHAHAHA-- Ah?

[With bones creaking and popping, a blue imp of a man sat up from within the pod and looked around.] Whadda-whaaa...? Where am I? [He scowls.] One minute you're fighting off do-gooders and the next you're waking up in a refrigerator. But seriously, where am I?

[As if to answer him, he notices the box in his lap. He immediately lights up with glee.] Ohhhh! Someone got me a prezzie! How thoughtful! Hrm, no tag though... Must be from a seeeecret admirrrrerer. Oooooh~ Princess Bubblegum, I knew you always cared! [He tore into it immediately, to find the strange amulet, the phone, the money and the pamphlet. He could sense the magic in the amulet clearly, but the pamphlet took priority. He read through it muttering to himself.]

GENESSIA?! I've never heard of it. And what's this about getting a job? This is bull-hoohie. [He crumples it up and tosses it away, then awkwardly climbs out of the pod to step in the water and... wander towards the nearest city.] Hello? Helllllooooo? Bah. Where did everyone go? Finn? Finn's Dog? ... Slime Princess?

---------------------

[Later, some video phones may have gotten a sudden message in the form of the man's long-nosed face and snow white beard.] Dangit, confounded technology. Never did know how to work one of these-- Oh! Hey is this thing on? Hello? If you're listening, respond with a long silence.

[Long silence.]

... Great! So hey, how it gooooo~ing? I'm new around town and I was wondering if there were any Princesses around this [Finger-quote]"Genessia"[Finger-quote] that could show me a good time? If you aren't completely ugly, I might consider settling in here for a while! With a brand new ice palace and everything... AND NO FINN OR JAKE! >:D Anyway... you there?

...

... Uh...

Hello? Is this thing on?

[Oh, Angel was going to play this up.]

And why should a princess show you around?

Re: [Video]

[simon_petrikov]

Eh? Wha? Who the heck are you?

[Before she could even answer, he waves her off.] Don't care, too young! You see, little girl, a Princess should show me around because I... [He takes off his crown and holds it next to his head so it can be seen on the screen.] ... Am a King. I AM THE ICE KING!

[Maniacal laughter.]

It's a whole royalty something-something. So are there any Princesses here or not?

[Video]

[flocks_angel]

Is that any way to talk to a princess? [Well, Dean called her one anyway.]

Ice king?...That sounds a little weird, but this place is full of weird anyway.

I could show you around if you ask real nice.

Re: [Video]

[simon_petrikov]

You're a princess? [He eyes the girl on the screen suspiciously.] I dunno... You aren't just fibbing, are ya?

Well I guess you could show me around. But you better not be fibbing! So... where are ya, kid?

Re: [Video]

[flocks_angel]

[He mentioned Slime Princess so...]

Yeah. I'm wind princess, can't you tell?

I can meet you at the bay in about fifteen minutes.

[Video]

[onecream_fivesugar]

...You can make an ice palace? Oh man, that would be so cool.

Oh right, I haven't seen any princesses around here yet, does it have to be a princess? Will a regular girl do?

Re: [Video]

[simon_petrikov]

Well, I mean, I'd PREFER a Princess. What sort of place doesn't have Princesses?

... What're you supposed to be anyway? Little Red Riding Hood?

[Video]

[onecream_fivesugar]

Uhhh... This place as far as I know?

Little red riding what?]

Actually I'm Ruby. What are you supposed to be? The Blue Meanie?

Re: [Video]

[simon_petrikov]

MEANIE! I AM NO MEANIE!

[Pew pew pew! Rage-magic into the air once more!] I have been nothing but nice to you people!!

[Action before his video? - can change if you want :3] (Also, oh god slap me if I don't do her well)

[smelltheredinside]

[She'd been floating, asleep, near the top of her pod... until you shouted. there's a muffled thump as she jolts awake and hits her head on the top of it, then it busts open, Marceline ready to yell at the guy. While in scary mode.]

WHAT THE GLOB ARE YOU DOING?! [And then she sees who it is, deflating with a sigh and a slight eye roll. Seriously, what are you playing at?] Oh, it's you. [There's a pause as she looks around. Well. This is definitely not where they were.] What have you done this time?

[Action]

[simon_petrikov]

Uh? Huh? [The Ice King looked away from his pod to a nearby one, and his face lit up.] Marceline! Oh Marceline! [Upon exiting his pod, he scurried over to the supposedly terrifying Vampire Queen and went in for a much-too-friendly hug.]

Hey you're practically a Princess, right? So this place isn't so bad! Nyehehehe~ [Then he paused.] What did I do? What did YOU do? I didn't do nothin'!

Re: [Action]

[smelltheredinside]

[As he pulls her in for a hug, she pushes him away, cheeks colouring furiously. As much as she lets him hang around, it's things like this that still make her feel weird about him being friends with her.] Ugh, get off me.

[She adjusts the brim of her hat as soon as she's free - and she is very glad that at least that came with her - crossing her arms with a majorly unimpressed face] I keep telling you, I'm nothing like those- [Arrrgh. Why is she even arguing this with you? Again! She throws her hands up.] It wasn't me! This is totally the sort of thing you'd end up doing. [By accident more than likely, or she'd like to think not on purpose, but still.] ...Are you sure you didn't do anything?

Re: [Action]

[simon_petrikov]

[Simon always rolled with the punches. Being shoved off and into the water, he just got up again and wrung out his beard.]

Well I'm telling you, I. DIDN'T. DO. ANYTHING. Last thing I remember is trying to valiantly save Princess Bubblegum from Finn's clutches, and then poof! '3'

[He waves his arms in that noodle-like fashion above his head.] But if I diiiiiid do sooooomething, then it's an amaaaaaazing display of my wizarrrrd pooooowwwwerrrrssss~ WoooOOOoOOoOoo~

[Video]

[solar_flare]

I'm not so sure I want to know what you consider to be a "good time".

[He sounds like an old pervert.]

Anyway, there aren't any princesses around here.

Re: [Video]

[simon_petrikov]

Huh?! [Man, this phone really was something! People's faces just kept showing up!] Oh! You know... a good time! Eh? Eeeehhh? You know what I mean. [WINK.]

Like getting together with some friends and playing Parcheesi or... ooh, or Uno. And then, maybe, me and my Princess would one day get married~ Heheheheh!

[But of course, his idea is ruined.] What?! No Princesses?! Impossible! In fact... YOU look kind of like a Princess. :3

[Video]

[solar_flare]

[Ordinarily Yang would be flattered. Now? She just kind of wants to fake a laugh and sidle out of sight. Good thing they're not actually face to face.]

Imagine that... Well, I hate to break it to you, but I'm not a princess either. I'm studying to be a Huntress.

Re: [Video]

[simon_petrikov]

A Hun-wha? [He quirks a brow.] Oh. Ohhhh, I get it. You're one of THOSE Princesses. Rocking the independence, huh? I can dig it! [Wink wink, fingersnap.]

[Video]

[yesterdays_hero]

[o hai there's captain hammer to greet him with a friendly smile]

Well hello there and welcome to Genessia! You're not looking to cause any trouble, are you?

Because if you are, then I'll bring the trouble to your doorstep.

Once you get a door. And a step.

[Unless this guy just happens to be some kinda man-steak Princess, Ice King wants nothing - NAY, NOT ONE THING - to do with him. Kinda reminds him of Finn. But Finn was pretty cool. This guy? Ehhh...]

I didn't say anything about looking for trouble. You said it. [He starts violently shaking his phone and shouting at the screen.] AM I TRULY THE VILLAIN?! OR ARE YOOOOOOU?!

[Video]

[yesterdays_hero]

[He did hear some maniacal laughing from the Bay earlier. But maybe that was just the short scientist guy. Either way, Hammer's got his doubts, primarily because of the whole 'princess' thing. Dude that old should be looking for queens, not princesses.]

Well, if that's an 'either/or' question, I think the answer's pretty obvious.

[Video]

[stalksindarkness]

Ice palace would be cool if it weren't so cold.

[lazygurl]

[Karina was getting kinda bored too.]

"Sup..." (why is his skin blue?)

[Video]

[simon_petrikov]

Yo yo, sistah! [He waggles his fingers in a wave.] Nyeheheheh~ Oh I crack myself up. So, you come here often?

Re: [Video]

[lazygurl]

Karina, in something approaching playfulness, ran her hand through her head. "I guess. I'm Karina, by the way...*yawn*" So far she liked him, but she was feeling sleepy.

Re: [Video]

[simon_petrikov]

Karina? Oh! How rude of me. Where are my manners? [He smacks himself in the forehead a couple of times.] Dummy, dummy! Heheh, alright, ahem...!

I AM THE ICE KING, RULER OF THE ICE KINGDOM! [He even holds up his hand to make a rather dramatic spectacle of his magic fizzling around it.]

[Once it all fades though, he puts on something of a duck-face.]

Are you a Princess?
