<> <> <> <> * Vera smokes! * Demetreia sits! In the AIR! * Leopoldo idly waits. * Katherine is sitting somewhere to the side, reading what looks like a pretty new book. She doesn't seem into it, though. * Katherine sighs, and puts the book down, picking up her datapad instead and staring at it. (We are such active travel people. Anyone got a deck of cards?) * Leopoldo taps his foot. * Fitzroy makes good on the egg topic! "Man, it's been a while since I had real eggs." Yeah, usually I just have that fake stuff. (...where did the fresh chickens come from? ) (Notice the lack of Ian?) * Katherine quirks an eyebrow after what Roy says, but doesn't look up from her pad. (....eeep...) * Leopoldo shrugs. I wonder where Ian got the chickens. <> * Vera does that. "Finally! I can't wait to get down there and find something to do." * Demetreia does that also! < * Leopoldo follows too! * Leopoldo leads such a boring life. * Katherine stands, and shakes her head. "Was all of this your work, Roy, or did you just put out some seeds?" * Fitzroy seems confused, "All of what?" * Katherine gets in the skimmer and sits, scooping Eck onto her lap. "The rumors." <> * Fitzroy smiles, "Oh, must just be some seeds then. I haven't done much myself." * Katherine leans back and closes her eyes. "Huh." <> ( The Old Town is surrounded by the lake? O.o ) * Katherine opens her eyes again, and says, "So, Roy, anything interesting to see in Sweden, or didn't you do much looking around when you were here?" ( Hopefully only in a horizontal fashion ) (I think you have to add in the grass too.) Well, It's been a while since I was here last. (¬_o The lake is outside. In the grass. And it surrounds the CITY, not Old Town.) The park around the lake is nice. * Leopoldo nods. * Fitzroy thinks.. <> They recreated the old Earth open-air museum near there too. ( The purpose of the Deme is to flip out and kill people. ) * Katherine glances out the window, but doesn't seem too enthralled by it either. "Museum of what?" Oh great. More bugs. * Leopoldo hmmms. "That's supposed to basically re-create the conditions on Earth, right?" * Katherine looks out the window more carefully after Vera mentions her bugs, but... hrm. Just buildings. * Fitzroy nods. "They've got old Swedish relics, and they brought over some Swedish plants.. Stuff like that." * Leopoldo nods. ( Are there swedish fish in the lake? ) I believe it's called Skansen of Mars. <> There's a few good restaurants too. * Katherine mms. Any recommendations? I haven't spent much time in Red Sweden. (*looks around*) (Well, he was waiting for recommendations. Kat's looking out the window. Deme has died and is collecting rats.) Wonder if I can make any money as long as we're here. The Old Town section has most of the good ones.. I hear Cafe Gamla Stan is good. * Demetreia looks out the window curiously and...a little oddly. <> And... Well, that's great. Last thing we need is more advertising. * Katherine chuckles faintly. "Hey, don't knock it. You really do want to know that you'll have a better day with Dunno. Trust them." <> * Fitzroy answers it, ".. Yeah?" ( Wrong number! :P ) (It's always wrong!) Oh, hey. What's the deal? * Katherine stands up, carrying Eck, her book, and her pad over to her luggage idly, and murmurs some things to Eck on the way. <> (And nobody will notice!) (Snerk. Critfailed his costume roll.) We just touched down here. * Leopoldo gets up and looks down at Ian, tsking. "He really shouldn't wear those things unless he's sure his throat can take it." * Vera stands and stretches. "Alright. So, where we headin'?" * Leopoldo shrugs. "Got me." * Fitzroy hangs up. * Demetreia goes over to Ian and pokes him hesitantly. <> * Leopoldo makes sure Ian's getting enough air and then gets off, stretching. <> <> * Leopoldo doesn't seem to care too much. (A gazebo attacks hapless pedestrians here.) (We must fight the gazebo!) (A fortune in gold coins lies on the ground.) * Katherine carries luggage! And shivers. "Geh. Glad I brought the coat. Is your place close, Roy?" (/look fortune) * Vera gets off, carrying what little luggage she has. She buttons up her duster. * Fitzroy thinks.. "Not too far, but it might be an easier trip on the subway." * Leopoldo pulls out his suitcase. "Good. It looks like it's pretty chilly... I don't want to be out too long." Fine by me * Katherine scans about, and then says, "Yeah, sure." <> * Katherine will walk that way, if she sees it! And will also make sure Eck is riding along. * Fitzroy heads off for the subway. "It's on Lindgren." * Vera follows! * Leopoldo follows too! (Well, if you're lucky, this is the scheduled outage.) <> * Katherine will ride the wild subway train! Wooo! * Leopoldo is riding the subway! Whoooo! * Vera is riding the subway train. Yee haw pardner. * Katherine puts her nose in a book. * Vera tips her hat over her eyes <> * Leopoldo gets off his lazy butt and gets off, then. <.< (...okay, now that damn Prince song is in my head and I want to hear it and I don't HAVE it.) * Katherine gets off the train too, and seems to be making sure she doesn't actually look at anyone, while looking around anyway. It's a weird impression. * Vera gets off * Leopoldo is, well, being himself. * Fitzroy gets off and heads for street level. <> * Vera follows Roy. He knows where to go * Leopoldo follows The Roy too. <> * Katherine makes a suitable noise of surprise. "Damn." ( Sorry, connection died. ) * Leopoldo sighs. "Geeze, have they ever heard of moderation?" Yeah, It's a bit much. * Demetreia looks around nervously, trying to keep Vwoof close. (Someone catch her up.) * Fitzroy presses on. ( It may continue to be pissy. ) (Done.) ( Ard already did. ) * Leopoldo keeps up too. * Katherine tries to keep up too, and says with a little amusement. "Well, on the up side, nobody'll see me with all these ads around." There's a bright side after all. And I don't mean the adds. * Fitzroy turns the next corner, and after a bit, we're at 5346 Lindgren. * Katherine is at Lindgren! She shivers again. * Fitzroy 's building is relatively plain compared to the others nearby but still has somewhat of the vague gothic style the others have. * Leopoldo looks over the place. "This is it, huh? Well, let's see inside." * Katherine nods quickly. "Yeah, definitely." * Fitzroy leads the group in and up.. apartment 412.. or.. Ah yes, 421! * Fitzroy 's apartment is.. dusty.. and pretty much barren. There's some furniture that looks like it came with the place.. and dust. * Leopoldo follows and sneezes loudly. "Dust everywhere..." ... Wow, you really don't use this place much. <> * Leopoldo looks around more carefully this time. "You really don't use it. Really really." * Demetreia looks around. * Katherine doesn't sneeze, but Eck does. "Well, as advertised. Whad'ya expect?" Nope. I've been back a few times to check on it, but I haven't lived here for years. This is gonna be some vacation. Why keep the place if you don't use it? Why did you--what Vera said. That is a good question. (To piss you off.) * Katherine walks in more, and tries to see what the actual layout of the apartment is like. "You never know when you'll need somewhere to run to." ( Ian! ) ( Wak! ) (Platypuses don't Wak, do they?) ( They could if they wanted to. <_< >_> ) * Fitzroy hmms.. "It's kinda like that." It helps keep people I don't want to find me from finding me too. That's what she just said. Oh. So it's a hideout. Cool. Well, I use the address more than the actual place. <> * Katherine rubs a finger on one of the walls. "Ugh. This has totally got to go." * Fitzroy picks up the phone again! ".. Yeah?" Hi Ian. We took off for my apartment. (I am resisting using Eck as a dusty thing.) (A duster! Haha!) (I HAVE a duster. But you don't dust with dusters. You dust with SuperNanoFeather 9000.) No problem. The address is 5346 Lindgren. * Katherine continues looking around the apartment. If there's anything to... uh... see. Like other rooms. You can take the subway to the Djur exit. Then head south on Lindgren. See ya. <> * Fitzroy hangs up. * Leopoldo looks around too. <> Plenty of dust here, eh? Alright, we need to clean this up and we need some furniture if we're going to stay here any length of time. I gather that was Ian? Yep, that was. He's on his way. Cool. * Katherine sighs. "Yeah, we better, Leo." But first... I'm hungry. Maybe we should get something to eat, hmm? Yeah. Where's the nearest burger joint? * Katherine looks at Leo and Vera in confusion. * Leopoldo looks over at Katherine. "What? You've never been hungry before?" Oh, don't give me that look. Eggs aren't that filling. * Fitzroy hmms.. "There's a few near the subway." Should we not wait for Ian first? <> * Katherine says, "I'll stay and let him in--or maybe he's already here." * Fitzroy lets him up/in. Cool. Let's grab Ian and jet. We can get something to help with the dust while we're out too. Please. You can toss your bags wherever. Doesn't matter. * Leopoldo coughs. "I hate dusty rooms." He thumps his suitcase down. * Ian arrives! He's carrying his bag, and is now incognito. Platypi are fun but conspicuous. ;_; * Katherine chuckles slightly, and says, "I'll just take the cleaning stuff back with me while you guys get some food. Not that hungry." * Katherine adds, "Besides, I'm supposed to be somewhere else. Wouldn't wanna be noticed here." * Demetreia looks back and forth between Kat and everyone else. "Er..." * Ian rubs his neck. "Sorry about that...I finished altering it on the subway. What's with those damn ads?" Like anyone's gonna recognize you here. Yeah. The adds cover up everything. * Katherine opens up one of her bags, and pulls out a long brown duster, and trades her leather jacket for it. * Ian coughs slightly. "Haven't been here in a while, Roy?" * Fitzroy smiles, "No, not really." * Ian drops his bag off, looking around. "Not a bad place, though." ( Katherine stole my coat! ;_; ) Tad small, needs some furnishing... But serviceable. (I had my own coat. It's in my character picture. Besides. I might actually use it for its real purpose, which is to conceal heavy weaponry. Unlike you. ^_~) ( Sorry I only have ONE freakin' big-ass gun ) * Katherine licks her lips. "Well, whatever y'all say. Doesn't make me hungry." She pauses for a sec, then adds, "Can we get going, then?" ( Well, technically two. ) * Leopoldo shrugs. "I don't see why not." He takes out a jacket and puts it on and nods. * Ian nods. "Sure. What's good near here?" Burgers. * Vera rubs her hands together. "Burgers." (And chocolate seal pops!) * Fitzroy nods. "Yes lets. There's a few places back by the subway station." (Fitzroy! Eat fresh.) Sounds good to me! * Ian heads out, then. Red platypus needs food badly. <> * Leopoldo walks out. Buuuuuurger. <> * Katherine walks around. The duster sways with her ponytail, as she _tries_ to pick out a convenience store or something from out of the mass of glowy lights. * Demetreia looks around and decides to follow Kat in case she needs help. <> * Leopoldo goes for a burger. Mmmm... (Aw, screw you guys. >_<) (I'm not necessarily split up.) * Ian rubs his hands together. "I juuust remember when there were still McDunno's, before they got bought out." ("The Mibu clan? I think I've heard that name before." Second best outtake ever.) * Vera heads for the burger joint. Her duster also sways with her ponytail. And she has a hat. <> * Ian walks right on into the DunnoBurger! (No trap check! The bravery! The excitement!) <> (The, um, burger!) (Ian is eaten by a DunnoGrue.) * Ian stands in line. Soon tasty DunnoMorsels shall be his. (It's dark. We dunno if you'll be eaten by a grue.) * Katherine eyes the line, then says, "I'm not waiting to not feel like eating." She goes over to the store to multitask. <> * Leopoldo waits in line. Mmm, foodage. (Furniture in a convenience store. What are you going to do, buy a nano assembler and having it use Ian's costume for parts?) (... Yes?) (I wasn't going for furniture. @_@) (Behold the platypus-shaped couch. Beware of beak.) (... Awesome.) * Katherine will buy DUNNO cleaning products. Possibly with Deme. "So, is it nice to be home? Or don't ya remember it?" (Well, Cham, you wanted interesting dialogue. AND NOW YOU HAVE IT. XD) (Ah, quotes list. At least you incorporate OOC dialogue.) * Demetreia shakes her head. "I...this is not familiar." ( How can you just forget that many advertisements? They must be hurt. ) (It'd be funny if they'd spelled WELCOME HOME DEMETREIA in the sky.) (SURRENDER DEMETERIA) * Threnody is now known as Todd * Katherine mms faintly, and scoops up products. "Well, you said you were from Dunno. Did they ship you out in a box or what?" (YOU HAVE BEEN DIVERTED) <> (Glee!) ( Hard to keep track of where anyone is @_@ ) <> "Welcome to DunnoBurger, home of the DunnoBurger, can I take your order?" (... Oh dear.) (Good... Burger. @_@) (...HA.) (It wasn't that good.) (...) Hmmm.... Dunno. (ALL! THAT!) I'll have a DunnoCombo #2 with DunnoCola, please. ( I'll have two specials. ) "You want a DunnoShake or a DunnoPie with that?" One DunnoPie, please. (I have that line running through my head now. Thanks, Ard.) (For there is no honor without pie.) (ShakesDunno.) ( *cracks up, falls over, waves out* ) <> "That'll be 5.4 credits." * Ian pays up! <> "Welcome to DunnoBurger, home of the DunnoBurger, can I take your order?" * Ian moves aside, now callously discarded by the uncaring DunnoBurger counter staff. DunnoCombo one plase. "What did you want to drink with that?" DunnoSoda. "You want a DunnoShake or a DunnoPie with that?" No. (The man shoots Leo. Next in line.) (What. Was that it?) <> "4.67 credits." * Leopoldo pays the underpaid employee and steps to the side. <> ( Boo. I got gypped. Boo! ) * Demetreia blinks at Kat, miles and miles away! Or maybe just a store over. Whatever. "A...box?" * Vera orders a DunnoCombo #3 with no Dunnonions and extra cheese, a DunnoDrink and a box of DunnoFries. (No DunnoSubstitutions, Vera. So sorry.) <> * Katherine shakes her head. "Nevermind. Just wondering how you get made by Dunno, with your parents working for Dunno, but never see Sweden." She picks up more stuff, and hands some to Deme. * Fitzroy goes for the DC #5, and that would be it. <> * Vera takes her food to a DunnoEatingLocation (probably contains a table and chairs) and starts to eat. * Ian sits down, and begins consuming his food. "Truly, this is the single template from which all other DunnoBurgers were wrought." * Leopoldo eats his food. "Yeah, well... What is there to do here other than sit around? Doesn't seem like much of a vacation to me." I simply-I do not... ....parents? * Katherine puts her hand to her forehead. "Yes." Her eyes twitch around. We could go check out the lake. It's usually pretty nice. I'm gonna look for work later. Ooh, there's a lake? Uh, yeah. Didn't you see it when were flying here? (Don't joke, Ian. It might BE.) Nikodemos and Deinaeira Kanenas. Remember? (Wah!) (I killed the DunnoBurger!) (Now what will they serve at DunnoWorld?) * Katherine picks up something, then mutters, "No competition." She walks counter-ward, picking up a few other things on the way. Huh, I must have been watching the wrong side. * Demetreia looks down and doesn't answer. You were busy suffocating, so you might have missed it. * Ian nods. "Also that." <> Why do you dress up in those getups anyways? (And finds her wanting!) (Kat falls through the trap door!) (I have 100K creds and appearance 2. I'm not wanting. ;_;) * Katherine takes her bags of cleaning and domestic junk and walks! Hopefully Deme is there to assist in the process. * Demetreia assists! * Vera eats her burger. "You ought to get a good hat. They can last you a while." * Ian finishes his DunnoFries. "A bit crispier than usual. Excellent." (The fries, not the hat.) * Leopoldo chuckles. I'm not a hat person. * Katherine chuckles to herself, and says with a hint of sarcasm. "You know, Deme, if anyone knows about parent issues, it's me, but christ. Roy found that they're your parents, so they're your parents." Not you. Ian. A bowler would be perfect for his penguin costume. I have a few hats...don't really wear them regularly, but they're fun. (THey keep my brain warm!) * Ian blinks. "That's a great idea!" (Your brain freezes?) ... Well, I suppose that'd work. (Just sort of freezes from time to time.) (*tips over a bucket of water on Leo*) * Vera grins. (*turns into a lizard.) ( *No one knows the difference. <.< ) (*IANEARTHQUAKE*) * Demetreia looks around and sees a mop. "Do we need one of those?" * Katherine shakes her head. "Nah, I got better. Have a seat." * Leopoldo finishes his meal. "I think we should head back. They should be done by now, shouldn't they?" * Katherine gets to the next door, and decides to sit down outside, as opposed to wobble inside with the bags. (o/~ it nearly wakened Richter! o/~ * Ian nods. "Might as well...I should help out with the cleaning." I guess. It's something to do. (I'm just confused.) You got a TVNet in this joint, Roy? * Fitzroy nods, "The wallscreen's cracked, but it worked the last time I checked." * Leopoldo gets up and heads out, looking about for Kat and Deme. * Demetreia has a seat then. * Vera nods. "That'll do." * Katherine and Deme are sitting at a table, and Kat taps the table with a claw, before sighing and saying, "C'mon, Deme. We're in Red Sweden. If there's anything that's gonna happen 'cause you're here, you might as well start dealing now." * Demetreia just twitches. * Fitzroy gets up and heads out as well. (Overload! Overload! Everyone hit the deck!) * Ian follows! * Vera finishes her food, cleans up after the messy people who just left their wrappings lying on the table, and then follows. * Leopoldo rubs his head. "So exciting. I should do this more often..." He ignores the holo-ads. (We're sitting just outside the place at lousy outdoor sitting tables. You know the type.) * Ian waves to Deme and Kat. * Katherine sees the people looking for her, and sighs, saying with a faint smile. "Best to do it one on one, kid, before it smacks you in the face like it did a couple days ago. C'mon, they're done eating.' * Demetreia waves back. * Leopoldo waves at Katherine. * Leopoldo waves at Demetreia too! Don't you feel special? * Katherine nods slightly at Leo and stands up, picking up bags in the process. "Off to clean, eh." Yeah. Joy. Yup, definitely needed. <>
