[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. ]

Comments

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.

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.]

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.

[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.

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.]

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?

)o)

[rocketboobs]

[ Just from being around Beat she can tell he IS rolling his eyes--the good thing about being around the GGs for long enough meant she... knew 'em all pretty well. Either way, she scoffs. ]

Please. Even Yoyo manages to do more than just fall into the water in Rokakku-dai Heights. Try this thing called SOAP.

[ She shrugs, though, sighing. ]

Anyway, what're YOU doing with a bat? Did the cops show up here....?

[skullphones]

Man, who needs soap? Not me. Besides, if Yoyo does it, then it's for pussies. [He folds his arms, frowning almost childishly. Because obviously Yoyo is the very antithesis of what a rudie should be, right? Right. Totally. Looooo-ser.]

No, not the cops. [Except for the one sleeping in his room.] But believe it or not, there are actual monsters here -- hellhounds and zombies an' shit. You can't spray those fuckers.

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?

[rocketboobs]

[ She ignores the first comment. I mean, it's true, but... she likes Yoyo. He's aderpable. ]

... What? Seriously?!? No way!

[skullphones]

Way. [Beat nods. He ran into a horde of them himself a few days ago, and basically had to resort to bashing their heads in to keep them down. Tough little snots. But that was before he had a ~*nailbat*~.] I mean, you can probably kill most of 'em with your hands if you go for long enough, but this is just handy.

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?

[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.]

[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?

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?

[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?

[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...

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Skate?

[Making a face that clearly says "What is that?"]

I live on the Great Sea, with my crew. We're pirates. I've seen people taking Pictographs, like Link does but nothing called... graffiti.

[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. ]

[rocketboobs]

You've seriously never... seen a rudie?

[ She balks. But time to speak for herself, she guesses. ]

ALRIGHT, I'm fixing this, Elf-girl. Stand back.

[ Here, Rhyth grins, then rolls backwards a bit as she prepares to skate down the hallway.

Upon doing so, she then runs her top speed on her skates, jumps up onto the stair rail, and then wallrides (as in, using her skates, ROLLS ON THE WALL ITSELF) before finally doing a twirling-looking trick to come back down to the floor where she stops JUST SHORT on her skates of Tetra. ]

[rocketboobs]

... No way. You're saying our paint is... useless?!

[ Sorry, she's just balking. She's so used to it being able to conquer anything she's being an airhead about this. OF COURSE IT WOULD BE, MONSTERS, DUH. It'll... sink in eventually.

Probably. ]

That's... freaky!! Do you think Rokkaku's responsible? He always was funny... oh, but in a bad way.

[ The last part is sort of tacked on. ]

[skullphones]

Pretty much. [He nods, scowling.] You can keep 'em down and stun them, for all it's worth. But monsters? Never run away.

[You thought you were in a bad mood already, Beat? Well, it gets a whole lot worse. Thank God the goggles hide his eyes at the word 'Rokkaku', and his mouth is already as tight a line as it will go. But that lunatic is still fresh in his mind.] ...That's what I think. No other gang can manage to pull off a stunt like this.
