ONE [VIDEO/ACTION]

[hates_most_things]

[April is wearing a ridiculous out fit involving a towel turban and a ray gun made mostly out of tinfoil. She speaks mostly in an abrupt monotone and her creepy eyes stare straight into your soul.]

Greetings. I am the Great Ludgata, your new overlord. Bow down before me minions--and bring me coffee. Now. With cream and sugar.

[She glares for a second, then slumps back down onto a bench near the fountain, speaking in a slightly more normal tone. Slightly.]

Okay, for real my name is April. OR IS IT? I once drove a riding mower through a Nordstrom. It's kind of lame here and I'm pissed so you should pacify me with coffee anyway.

[ooc: No confused accidental intro for April. Action for anyone in the square--she's just standing on a park bench filming herself. Also she maybe stole somebody's towel off the line?]

What.

[hates_most_things]

What?

[pinkeffinprofessional]

Do any of your thoughts make sense flowing from one to the other?

[never_very_good]

Why'd you drive a lawnmower through a Nordstrom?

[hates_most_things]

It was there and I was bored

[never_very_good]

And that's how you decide to introduce yourself?

[recognize_an_opportunity]

I'm not sure any of that is a ringing endorsement for bringing you coffee.

[hates_most_things]

It was worth a try.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

It was a nice change from what we normally hear.

[Here. Have an address and directions from your location to the Jasmine Dragon and a digital coupon...thing that says 'one free coffee and meal for newcomers']

Does that work?

That's something. And it's warm in here. I don't think staying outside is wise. Up to you, though.

[nobrakes]

Please.

[Try harder, April.]

[hates_most_things]

What's your problem?

[whitetwoguns]

There's a Welcome Center that's got plenty of handouts. I'm sure one of those is coffee.

[hates_most_things]

So I hear. I bet it's terrible, but whatever.

[whitetwoguns]

Work your way up. Or cream and sugar the shit out of it.

[studmuffin]

You're terrifying. I like that in a person.

[hates_most_things]

I like people who are easily terrified.

[studmuffin]

[ A snort. ] I'm Stiles.

[When Yin first saw the post, she almost took coffee out the square. In fact, scratch that. Even with the rest of the explanation, Yin, indeed, got a cup of coffee from the Welcome Center, and went out to the square to deliver a hot cup to the new person.]

Welcome to the City. [Her words have none of the welcome and warmth one would expect to be greeted with. Even the cup of coffee is held with little else other than a nearly apathetic offer. But it does have plenty of cream and sugar in it.]

[hates_most_things]

[Suddenly, an apathy-off. Except it's the kind of contest where you don't put actual effort into winning.]

Hey. Thanks.

[April isn't usually even slightly polite, but she's cold and likes free stuff.]

What city?

action;

[moonlitrequiem]

[This way, if there is a winner, neither is going to care anyway.]

It is only called the City.

Hello, I am Nobori. It is a pleasure to meet you... Madame April.

You must be new to the City.

[He paused for a moment, unsure of what to make of the ridiculous outfit.] .. forgive me, but I have no way of telling whether or not you're cursed.

I will jot you down as "April" and hope you won't change names or personalities on me over the course of the week.

What do you mean by cursed?
