[She's not even aware it's recording. Mocha bumped the device. Mindy's sitting outside Rapunzel's place with her dog, broom handle in her hand. She's just chillin'. Listening to the world around her and pretty much set to not move from her seat.]

...noisy today. What's the deal?

[And there's a shuffling sound, sniffing and barking from the dog. The device is knocked from Mindy's hands and shuts off on it's own.]

Comments

[foils_you]

Oh, look who it is, if it isn't the squirt. You got a dog? How cute.

[Bitter? NO NEVER why would you say that.]

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

[Of course he'd show up while she can't see. She keeps her head ducked down, petting Mocha who seems to sense Mindy's annoyance and just...snarls slightly at D'Amico.]

That, Mocha, is the voice of a douche bag wanna-be. [And to Chris;] Find all of your dad yet?

[foils_you]

Oh, ha-ha. Nice. Want a nice juicy flame-broiled steak?

[Yup. He's just going to stand here and talk big. It's fine.]

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

Stuffed on Halloween candy, thanks.

[Have a glare...off and to your leftish. Because she's just...not in the mood to give a fuck about not being able to see.]

Welcome to the City. Don't piss anyone off. There are babies here who could kick your ass.

[foils_you]

Oooh, I'm so scared.

[He's waving his hands around mockingly, but THAT'S RIGHT. YOU CAN'T SEE.]

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

[No, but she can guess. She holds still, though. Waiting for him to do something stupid.]

You should be. Traitor.

[deadliestviper]

[Briefly, before the device stops transmitting:] Hey! Hey, kid, you dropped–

Re: [video]

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

[What? Oh, balls. Mindy has to feel around for that, grumbling.] Thanks.

[video]

[deadliestviper]

No problem. Be careful, okay?

Re: [video]

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

Yeah.

Hey, you were here before. I recognize your voice.

voice;

[beifongbandit]

It's always loud on visitor weekends. All the panicking, I think.

Re: voice;

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

Panicking. Moving. Just noise in general. It's a bit disorienting.

voice;

[beifongbandit]

The feet get all mixed up. You'd better have sharp elbows, that's all I'm saying.

[killerinpinknblack]

FUN!!!

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

If by fun, you mean really fucking loud? Sure.

[killerinblacknpink]

Lots of people to fight with!

[mythicredemption]

[A walking she will go, a walking she will go. That's how you get away from a place...in fiction filled Greece.]

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

[And Mindy hears the footsteps, head tilting towards the sound. That deity trade was poorly timed, if all these people are showing up. D'Amico was already here and he was a dick. She scared him off in her own special way, but still. She'd have liked to see him.]

Someone there?

[Hi, Xena. There's a chocolate lab puppy barking up at you and trying to get you to play.]

[mythicredemption]

[Oh. That is not a vicious hound. She stoops to pat the energetic thing if it even will let her.]

I mean no harm.

[A young girl shouldn't be out alone. No matter where. It's dangerous. She continues her pace but slower. There have been traps laid out like this.]

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

[Mocha is all about the loves, Xena. So much so that, hi. Have a pudgy puppy belly that he'd very much so love to have rubbed. Mindy smiles briefly, still listening.]

Good to know. I'm Mindy. You new here?

[Her voice, though. It's so damn familiar and she can't place it.]

[mythicredemption]

[The belly must be obeyed! Xena rubs rubs rubs at it. As darling and distracting as Mocha is, it occurs to her that his charge may not be able to see her. Strange.]

Yes. I've lost my way.

[To put it lightly.]

My name is Xena. I'm from Amphipolis.

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

[Xena, you are Mo's best friend. And the name causes Mindy's eyebrows to raise slightly but she says nothing. She lives with Rapunzel. This isn't anything surprising for her. Sort of. Okay, it's a bit alarming because Xena. But Mindy is going to play it cool.]


Nice t'meet you. Welcome to the City.
