( o4 - VOICE & ACTION | grabbag weekend - anti-angst curse | joint post with Carla | OTA )

[You know how this one goes. Anti-angst means the sadder or more frustrated a citizen feels, the happier they'll express themselves. Those who have watched Carla's behavior in the last couple of months can guess how she'd be affected by something like this - Lou's been a little more artful about hiding his own sadness, and definitely less destructive, but this place hasn't had the chance to properly destroy him yet, has it.

The weekend rolls in and the curse hits two very specific roommates, ready to share their happiness with the rest of the world. (Maybe they won't get enough time to reach the world, just the city. It'll have to do.) Money, food, cooperation, freedom, love, anything that comes to mind as a synonym for comfort is what drives them to get through this weekend and make the most of life.]


You need to see this. All of you, no matter who you are. I want you to see this.

[He sounds breathless, triumphant, excited. Someone's been running around for a few good hours now.]

Go outside and look at the sky. Look at where you are - look at who you're with - hell, just look at your hands.

[Another exhale, and his tone brightens up.]

Isn't it amazing?


A C T I O N
OPTION A. Lewis and Carla are going around town entering any and every shop that catches their attention to buy random things. They're fully determined to offer these totally amazing presents to as many people as they possibly can, whether they're acquainted or not. From clothes to chocolate to a kitten to a kiss, it doesn't matter - you will probably be getting one or more of the above.

OPTION B. But, well - as nice as their gesture is, these things cost money, and theirs doesn't last forever. As soon as it runs out they'll just happily conclude that it's so much better to go around taking those same presents (now including money from cash registers and random wallets), free of charge! Maybe Robin Hood was just a really happy guy, too.

OPTION C. You can't talk about happiness and comfort without food, and neither can they. They'll just be over here stuffing themselves with all kinds of crap. Feel free to come over and ask if they'd be willing to share their cookies with you. Or just to ask if they're okay.



(( ooc: All replies to the voice post should get reply from both Lou and Carla, unless you specify or make the thread private to either / or! Same goes for the action threads. ))

Nothing! I'm cursed!

Lou's cursed! Isn't it great?
worldofourown: ([PB/Sulk])

Oh. [ So. Much. Pity. ] Doesn't your face hurt?

...Who's Lou?
dignity_misery: (it's hollow and it's cold)

[personal profile] dignity_misery 2012-10-09 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
No! [Yessssssssssss.]

My roommate. He's been here a few months. I didn't mention him because I knew him from back home.

[Ahahahahahahahahahaha.]
worldofourown: ([PB/Looking Away])

[ Lou first. ]

Was he a friend? An enemy?

None of the above?
worldofourown: ([PB/Yeah What?])

[personal profile] worldofourown 2012-10-09 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ ALSO: ]

You seem ... [ in-pain ]

Do you want to be knocked out?

I think I should knock you out.

[ y/y/y/y??? ]
dignity_misery: (does anything matter to you)

[personal profile] dignity_misery 2012-10-09 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
I fucked him a few times. He didn't know I'd died.

[Yaaaay!]

I'm having a picnic right now, maybe later.
worldofourown: ([PB/Um])

[personal profile] worldofourown 2012-10-09 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
I see. [ One of her playthings, then. ] Why did you make him a roommate? [ Pause. Blink. ] Nevermind.

... A picnic?

[ With a picnic-cloth and picnic-basket and sunshine and everything? ]
dignity_misery: (holy water)

[personal profile] dignity_misery 2012-10-09 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
He doesn't remember me at all!

[She wants to be his friend!]

A picnic. In a field. With Rex!

[She can't tell you she needs to kill him. She can't do it right now.]
worldofourown: ([PB/Glance])

[personal profile] worldofourown 2012-10-09 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Good for ... him?

[ So confuuuuused. ]

Are there flowers and butterflies? And singing children?

Because I will find you. And knock you out.

[ He wouldn't know how to take the news. Especially delivered with such eerie perkiness. ]
dignity_misery: (you're a disaster)

[personal profile] dignity_misery 2012-10-09 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
I'm having a great time.

[Karl. Help me.]
worldofourown: ([PB/Heart])

[personal profile] worldofourown 2012-10-09 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ Tsk, Carla. So much horror. ]

Oh?

[ Beaming at his brightest wattage. ]

I'll join you.

[ And put you out of your misery. ]
dignity_misery: (every touch is sacred)

[personal profile] dignity_misery 2012-10-09 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
That would be wonderful.

[Hhhhhh.]
worldofourown: ([PB/Laugh])

[personal profile] worldofourown 2012-10-09 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ Laughing despite himself. It's just so creepy. ]

I'm on my way.

[ Prepare to be KO'd and carried home. ]
worldofourown: ([PB/So?])

[personal profile] worldofourown 2012-10-09 12:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Both of you. So cheerful. His horror knows no bounds. ]

... Meaning there's a 50% chance you are on something?

worldofourown: ([PB/Eh?])

[personal profile] worldofourown 2012-10-09 12:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I do know. [ Fry-Squint. ] So you're Lou. Are you a Reanimate too?
worldofourown: ([PB/Looking Away])

[personal profile] worldofourown 2012-10-09 01:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. Human. [ Slightly disinterested. Karl is a dick ;;. ] That's right. Karl Fei-Ong. How do you do?
worldofourown: ([PB/Zoom In])

[personal profile] worldofourown 2012-10-09 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[ So talky. Maybe he should knock Lou out too? Usually he just slashes throats. But Carla may not like him killing her roommate. ]

Nine months now. [ He considers her valued family. ] I understand you're having a ... picnic. [ So creeeeeepy. ]
worldofourown: ([PB/Laugh])

[personal profile] worldofourown 2012-10-11 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
[ Nothing says family like maiming and killing together. ] She has. [ He flashes a smile. ] I hope you won't mind.

[ He'll drag you both home later. Mercifully unconscious. ]
worldofourown: ([3d!])

[personal profile] worldofourown 2012-10-13 08:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ All it lacks is booze. Or, um, entrails. ]

Excellent.

We'll make a memorable outing of it.

[ Or a brief one. ]
