☈ strike #05 (voice / action) (fourth wall)

[thestormishere]

[ After all the stuff that's been going on lately, it's probably no surprise that Lightning has already been pretty on edge for quite a while now... particularly the last few days. Imagine her joy then, when halfway through making breakfast she opens her journal to find that yet another bout of insanity is going down.

Just... great.

As soon as she works out the basics of the disturbance, she quickly begins to clean up what she had spread out, addressing her journal mid-action. So far, she seems a bit irritated, but... otherwise, pretty unimpressed. ]

Alright... whatever's going on, everyone needs to just stay calm. We need to figure out who these people are, where they're coming from, and why.

[ Yes, she's using her Important Voice, even though there definitely hasn't been time to really think this through. There's a pause while she finishes gathering up her breakfast, but if nobody interrupts she then picks up her journal and makes an additional, somewhat reluctant 'command' as she moves to leave the eating area and go back towards her own rooms again. ]

... If they're not enemies, make sure none of them are left wandering around out in the snow.

[ Aaannnnd fourthwallstuffgo. As soon as she revisits her apartment, you just know she'll be tromping outside to see this whole mess for herself too. Go ahead and harass her at any point over journal or in person or both or whatever. ]

[thestormishere]

[ What. In the world is going on. ]

No. Who are you?

[ownseverything.livejournal.com]

Hey you, scary looking woman!

[He called from across the way]

[thestormishere]

[ Uh wow, just what is that supposed to mean? She may look at you, but that... doesn't mean she'll acknowledge or anything. ]

[ownseverything.livejournal.com]

I can't find Yahoo or even YouTube. You're my new buttmonkey now.

[thestormishere]

[ Pfffff. ]

No.

What's that about snow?

voice unless you'd prefer different 8|

[thestormishere]

[ ....... No. No way. She has to be hearing things. Coincidence. First thing that comes to mind: ]

Pretty sure it's snowing today.

[ AND THEN: ]

... Snow?

voice is cool. SORRY IF I'M RUSTY AS HELL BTW

[focuspunch.livejournal.com]

Hey, it is!

[Snow takes a pause (because he's totally not playing with the snow).] In the flesh!

[sexfully.livejournal.com]

Cham-paggin?

[thestormishere]

[ ..... She has no idea what you just said. ]

[sexfully.livejournal.com]

[sob sorry Lighting this handsomely man isn't going to leave her alone]

I don't think we've met. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Zapp Brannigan.

[fuhgottaboutit.livejournal.com]

[You got an Osaka following you! And apparently she knows you! You poor thing.]

... Light! Liiiight! Where are we? I'm cold ...

[thestormishere]

[ There is indeed... some teenage girl following her? Lightning throws a glance over her shoulder, but then after a few more steps stops and turns to look at her better with a confused - but still entirely flat - look. How do you know her name? ]

Who are you?

[fuhgottaboutit.livejournal.com]

... Huh? ... It's me, Osaka. You're teachin' me magic, remember?

[toughenedup.livejournal.com]

[Have a lost little boy. :|]

...Light? ...

[thestormishere]

[ Oh no, that sounds like... oh no. ]

Hope...?

[toughenedup.livejournal.com]

[He breathes out a sigh of relief.]

Good... I thought I heard your voice, but... I had to be sure.

...Where are you?

(action) Warning, I've never tried her before so uh. 8D;;

[alltoprotect.livejournal.com]

[ And guess who's there waiting at your apartment, arms crossed and leisurely leaning against a wall? ]

Well, look who finally made it back. Thought you'd never get here.

[action] lol, no harm done TO try...!

[thestormishere]

[ ... Santa Fang? Lightning certainly recognizes those weird clothes and the woman they belong to the moment she sees them-- from all the way down the hall, actually, though this is not what she expected to suddenly be facing this morning. She clearly seems a little... stunned as she walks up. ]

Fang. Where did you...?
