Can someone please inform my mother that six in the morning is not a time that normal people start baking? Especially when she's only just shown up within the last half hour?

[ Hi, City. Ariadne's looking rather bleary-eyed, Biscuit the cat's orange self plopped onto her lap and staring up at his human as she tries not to yawn into the camera. ]

I think we're going to need a new freezer to store everything in, guys. [ TOO TIRED FOR LOCKED MESSAGES TO HER HOUSE. ]

Anyway, I'm Ariadne and welcome to the City. [ Pause. ] Any familiar faces out there?

[ Okay, so maybe she's hoping for some... ]

((ooc: Open to all sorts of fourth-walling, save for telling her she's from a movie!))

not if they didn't die
please don't tell me whether you're a better shot than that
I'd like to sleep tonight

you know there's this thing called e-mail
also phones
you're texting pretty well so I'm going to assume you know what those are

you'd better hope you don't stick around here then

I didn't shoot any of my mythical friends

[Haha Kieran you're hilarious.]

willing to bet money
that I know more about modern communication than you do
and can blame my healthy lack of trust in anyone or anything
on that exact skill set
but we have to stick with our talents right

I'm hoping
believe me.

[ Jaye is out there somewhere rolling her eyes at your life. ]

that's entirely possible
considering I'm an architect
... your name isn't arthur is it?
you sound sort of like arthur if life dumped mud on his suits repeatedly

well this particular curse usually just lasts for a few days
if you're still here after that then uh
look into finding an apartment
and try not to shoot anybody
unless it's attacking you then you can shoot the hell out of it
though unless there's a curse that's made people go kind of crazy again that usually only happens in the underground

also don't worry if you run into fictional characters
they're kind of common around here
don't you dare shoot piglet

I solemnly swear
that my name is not arthur
and that I have never owned a suit
nor am I wearing a dressing gown
though I guess that would sort of fit in around here

no promises on the not shooting things
I have impulse control problems
it's a flaw I know

I don't think he has a dressing gown
though now I feel like I should check

just don't shoot piglet
he's. piglet.
also he is the only person shorter than me in this city so
there's some selfish interest in here

Okay clearly that reference didn't land right
but if his surname's dent then you don't need to check
he's got one
for definite.

if it's piglet piglet as in
winnie the pooh piglet
then I'm not sure he technically counts as a person
and you may still be the shortest.

[boutant]

oh.
it's not.

piglet piglet as in winnie the pooh piglet
and idk there are lots of non-human people here

Are they all pig variations?
cause I usually go for assuming I'm in 1984
but I can switch to animal farm.

not even close.
I had a friend who was a pterosaur, though she's gone now.
then there are the aliens.
various 'monsters' like the vampires.
etc.

most stay underground
