[o1] ♮ MISSION ONE.

[rocketboobs]

Characters: Rhyth, her roomies, and whoever else runs into her!
Setting: Monday Morning: Room 2-15 -> Media Level -> Everywhere Else (afternoon)
Format: Action.
Summary: Another rudie arrives but this one has to adjust to her environment first...
Warnings: Possibly monsters, language, graffiti. Your character may get run over as well if not careful. Otherwise I'll add as they pop up!

[Room 2-15]

[ She would've screamed if she could have during the sleep paralysis. It frightened her--after all, she didn't remember going to sleep in a bed. She remembered taking a nap in her sleeping bag, crashing with the other GGs at the garage after a long day. She'd come back from work exhausted and wanted a nap. That night, though, she got paid, and had planned to spot a big dinner for everyone later in the week.

Kind of the last thing the girl expected was waking up in... well, an actual bed? She hadn't for ages. She usually crashed in a sleeping bag. When she awakes, she fumbles out of the bed, flipping out... just a little. ]

This is crazy, I've GOT to get this ugly thing off. Yuuuck, this is as bad as a Rokkaku uniform...

[ And right then and there with absolutely no shits given she finds her stuff in her trunk and pulls off the ugly white jumpsuit, changing into her actual clothing, which is kind of crazy, before pulling her skates on. She loads up on the graffiti cans in her trunk, as well. Thankfully the flickery power is on for once, as she pulls a mirror out and starts putting on make up. She hasn't yet read the notes given to her, instead, they're on her bed... she'll be in for a shock when she does. ]

[Media Level (Floor 14)]

[ Or maybe you've found Rhyth here after that trying to fiddle with things and finding herself. Eventually, she turns on some music, but it's not as good as what she wants. ]

Man, where is DJ-K when we need him? I miss his tunes...

[EVERYWHERE ELSE (specify, or don't!)]

[ After that, you can find Rhyth exploring all the floors she can reach, though you might run into her skating away or into monsters as she tags some with graffiti and performs some pretty ridiculous gymnastics. Grinding the stair rails is also a thing she'll be doing, so watch out if you're going up or down!

... Or you might just find her in a hallway or on a floor with a plain blank wall spraying graffiti. Either way, you're bound to bump into her somehow. ]

[ ooc: Edited this a bit to reflect info on Monday morning, namely the return of power. ]

Media room

[skullphones]

Right? This stuff is completely dry.

[OH MY GOD, WHERE DID THAT VOICE COME FROM. If Rhyth looks around, she might notice a pair of glowing goggles in the semi-darkness, but eventually they step into better light. It's Douchebag McGee himself. He's got a nail bat slung over his shoulder and is grinning like a snot, as usual. Quietly, though, you bet he's happy to see another one of the GGs here, never mind that they were better off back in Tokyo-to. Safety in numbers, right?]

Fancy seeing you here.

awwww yeeees

[rocketboobs]

[ She grins. ]

Hey there, Bug Eyes. Trying to live up to your name?

[ She's teasing as always of course. ]

Paaaaar-tay

[skullphones]

Bug Eyes? [He puts a hand over his heart, making a mockery of her insolence. He's been called much worse than 'Bug Eyes', and he carries that fact with pride.] That hurts, Cellophane. You've bruised me for all time.

party haaard

[rocketboobs]

I dunno, Beat. See, there's these things here, I found... you really should try them.

[ She grins, mischievous. ]

They're called showers.

party rockin' in the tower toniiiiight

[skullphones]

[The body language suggests he's rolling his eyes (and quite dramatically at that), but of course, who can even tell?]

Rhyth, we've been over this. I get more water drenched on me in a day than most people do in a week. I don't need to spend my precious time on doin' it more.

[Twice a week. That's all he'll give ya.]

Corridors

[imperialsun]

[Ahhh. another one of them, it seems. Naoya recognizes the skates and the graffiti spraying after meeting Beat. Granted, they could be from different worlds, but the odds are too slim.]

Interesting design.

[Her style is different from both Beat and Marks, if anything.]

[rocketboobs]

[ Her grin is very wide. It's very... literally bubbly in comparison to, say, Beat's graffiti.

There also always to seem to be a cat involved... what how else could I make "Mew" jokes? ]

'Course it is, it's REAL art, not like that ugly painted stuff in museums. Yuuuck.

[imperialsun]

I appreciate both. [But truthfully Naoya loves video game art the most, the nerd.]

I have a friend who also spray-paints. We went to New York to study abroad but for different fields. [He looks down at her skates again.] You're a friend of Beat's?

[rocketboobs]

You don't just paint, you know? You make ART. You're putting your soul onto that wall and saying, "Hey, Rokkaku, your uniforms are UGLY!"

[ ... Her sentence ran away from her a little... she probably meant something else, but oh well. ]

Some hallways somewhere

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

[Let Tetra watch, fascinated, as Rhyth sprays that graffiti. That's actually really awesome and she wishes she could do something like that. Sadly, her art skills are worse than anything Sea can draw.]

Are you allowed to be drawin' on the walls?

this is acceptable.

[rocketboobs]

[ She laughs, like Tetra told the FUNNIEST joke EVER.

... It doesn't help the spray cans she used for this seem to both disappear into nonexistence and then reappear when she needs more. ]

'Course not! That's the whole POINT, you know?

excellent~

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

[Why is there laughing? DX]

I dunno. I never saw no one drawin' on the walls here.

... Can I try?

[rocketboobs]

[ She frowns. ]

Depends! You skate? 'Cause you can't make any art if you don't have any soul... you know?

[ Rhyth pulls back, her graffiti done. The empty can disappears into nonexistence, though in reality she's just tossed it. ]

And what do you mean you've never seen anyone graffiti? Where do you live?

[legatus]

[Wow there is the world's biggest eye rolling coming from this guy. Great. Punks. Just what this tower needed.

Please ignore the guy passing by wielding a giant axe with only one hand.]

[rocketboobs]

[ NOPE deal with it.gif. ]

Whoooaaa, what's the axe for, Paul?

[ SNOTTY. PUNKS. ]

You going to chop a giant tree? ... It must be a REALLY BIG tree, huh...

[legatus]

[If Shinji knew what the hell she meant from that joke rest assured...it would have not changed anything. In fact you have gained one(1) cold, hard glare.]

It ain't for trees. It's for the monsters in the tower.

[rocketboobs]

[ She's either completely oblivious to it or she just doesn't give a fuck. Actually it's kind of creepy how little it bugs her. ]

Oooh, so you're choppin' up evil like... ghosts and Hanakos in Toilets and stuff?! Crazy! I hope you didn't kill anything cute, Axe Guy!

somewhere with a wall to be tagged

[lamentless]

Whoa-

[Someone sure wasn't expecting another person on wheels, given he'd gone flying down the stairs and nearly crashed in to Rhyth while she was trying to tag the adjacent wall. He kicked his skateboard out on purpose, skidding on his elbow and tailbone to keep from cracking her head open, wincing at the awkward fall. But hey, he'd managed to keep from clipping anyone's scalp this time!]

OH NO POOR BB

[rocketboobs]

[ Rhyth notices this and was just gonna skate out of the way, but it's too late--he falls, and she's obviously upset.

She rolls on over to the other person and bends over to him, frowning, and offering a hand. ]

Heeey, that was some serious floor-eating, are you okay?

he's as graceful as i am late

[lamentless]

[He accepted the hand up gladly, shaking his arm and elbow out. A welt was forming, but he seemed to be pretty okay. Of course, his skateboard had shot off and smacked in to a wall, but that thing could survive a nuclear blast, he figured. It wasn't gonna break.]

Yeah, I'm used to it. [How many times had he landed funny and adjusted himself to falling? Actually, don't answer that- he wouldn't remember anyway.] Sorry about that- I gotta learn to slow down.

it's cool

[rocketboobs]

[ ... Reminds her of derpy 'ol Yoyo. Heh. Kinda cute, really. ]

Nah, it's cool. I didn't realize anyone else was around here, y'know?

[ Actually she just didn't care but whatever, not the point-- ]

Check your ride, it might be a little dented from that. It'd be bad if you got that thing hurt.

[ She treasures her crazy skates, so she knows how it'd feel if hers were hurt. ]

random floor with blank walls go

[nemophila]

[Jun wasn't severely injured anymore-- and the power was back on, so that was a plus. Honestly, for all intents and purposes, he was physically fine. Maybe it was a a psychosomatic sort of thing then, that still had him feeling sick even after he'd been back for a few days already. Still it was kind of hard to get over getting squished to death, especially when you came back a bloody mess.

But he was...better now, for the most part. Still some bruises and cuts, but better. And, he felt kind of sick, but that was likely from paranoid worrying. he'd get over it.

The strange girl's appearance was distraction enough-- but even more so was watching her spray paint the wall of the tower. The design was intriguing, and interesting-- He'd never been much of a visual artist before, but that didn't mean he couldn't appreciate it. So Jun was just kind of lurking nearby, half hiding himself as he watched her paint.]

random floors are cool

[rocketboobs]

[ She actually is more perceptive than she looks--and she definitely doesn't LOOK perceptive at all, in a miniskirt.

But she's done REMARKABLY quickly, then turns on her skates and rolls over nearby to Jun to check out what's up. ]

Heeey, hiding's not nice! If you're stupid and also Beat, though, you can just keep hiding, 'cause I don't want to smell you.

hells yeah they are

[nemophila]

O-- Oh!

[...Admittedly hadn't expected her to be that perceptive, but then, when you were friends with someone like Eikichi....]

Uh.. well I'm not, stupid. [He's kind of baffled at whatever she's trying to say (and maybe a bit perturbed), but he's not really making a conscious effort to hide.] I was just watching you paint.

<3

[rocketboobs]

[ She winks and giggles, and begins... standing there and dancing slightly, even as she talks to Jun.

Yes, ON SKATES. Girl's got skills. ]

Already fifty points up over Bug Eyes, then. Heehee! Nice to know someone can appreciate a good tag, though.
