luceti [ic] ⚝ video oo2

[alkahestrykunais]

[When May arrived home from getting missioned, the biggest thing she wanted was rest. Not, in attempt to get to Ran Fan's bed end up somewhere back out in the street with the ground as slippery as ice. After a few minutes of slipping past doors while trying to grab them and slamming into walls she pulls out the journal.

Unknown to her that the video feed is showing her hair buns as pink cotton candy puffs with spirals of sugar instead of braids.]

What's going on? I go on a mission and everything is messed up when I come back. [Whatever this really is.] Speaking of miiis-[cue slight flailing before slipping straight into a wall.]

Actually, does anyone know a special way to walk on ice-like sustances? I should have stayed on that mission longer o-ow....

[ooc: May is practically slidding all around Luceti while trying to get back to Ling's house. Feel free to have her bump into you or have her slide into something near you. Whatever works for you~]

USE A PILLOW!!

[Whoops too close to the screen for a second there. Lemme just back it on up.]

That's what I did! It was a lot of fun.

[alkahestrykunais]

[a-aw you're such a cute little girl.]

A pillow? [A pause as she thinks about it.]

Did you slide across the ground on it?

[asobouyo]

Mhmm! My whole floor turned really slippy slidey, so I had to slide around in my house so I didn't fall and hurt my butt. It's really easy to fall down when it's like that...

[alkahestrykunais]

[May had good enough balance not to fall onto her butt, but walls were another story.]

It also hurts when you run into walls. If you use a pillow though, it does sound fun.

[Yeah, the journals seem to have a mind of their own lately. Ginji here's apparently got bushy eyebrows falling half into his eyes and a finely groomed white mohawk.]

Pretty much everything's been acting up around here for the past few days. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. But when you mention ice, do you mean moving around on a sled or skates?

[But seriously, ouch. Looks like that really hurt.] Are you all right?

[video]

[alkahestrykunais]

[Woah, nice mohawk dude.]

The past few days? I don't know, I'm not sure what skates are.

[She nods slightly to the video.] I-I'm fine.., hopefully..

[video]

[broji]

[Innorite?]

Mhm! Well, they're like shoes only they've got a blade on the bottom to help you move across frozen surfaces. As long as they're relatively smooth, anyway. Across snow I think they use something called "snowshoes"?

...Are you sure? That was a pretty rough tumble.

[voice]

[powdersup]

Shoes with thick spikes in them, maybe? [...Mission? She should ask abut missions, this person seems young but]

[video]

[alkahestrykunais]

With thick spikes? Would that work, the ground still looks like it usually does.

[video]

[powdersup]

Oh- Oh, so it's not normal ice, it's like that lava I encountered before.

[...] Walk slowly?

[Action]

[Good thing for May that Hugo actually has on him something that would help. He would have answered her post, but he was too busy trying to get back to his apartment...again.

And as he's almost made it to community building 7, he sees May slide into something. Since the ground is normal for him, he runs over to her to make sure she's all right.]

Do you need some help, miss?

[Action]

[alkahestrykunais]

[May is clinging to the wall that she ran into again, making sure not to go sliding again. She's had enough of crashing into things. The man perks her attention so that she turns to him and nods.]

I can't stop slipping on the ground. It's like ice.

[Action]

[luredbypower]

[Like ice? Well, that's a new one.]

It is definitely a strange experiment. I wonder if we can trick it?

[Hugo starts digging in his pack. He knows he picked up an item that deals with slippery surfaces like ice, slime, and things of that nature. Ah, there they are. He pulls out an item that looks like this. They look a bit big for May, but they are magical and will adjust to fit.]

Try to put these on your shoes. They helped me in my world with slippery surfaces.

[avaricious]

Welcome back, Princess Chang. Did you enjoy your mission?

[Experiment? What experiment?]

[alkahestrykunais]

[All the frowns.]

It left me feeling fairly worn.

[avaricious]

[What? You can't frown!]

Well, I have heard they can be exhausting. Which one did you go on again?

[video]

[disastergirl]

You don't sound very surprised about the ground turning to ice for no reason.

[video]

[alkahestrykunais]

I guess I'm not. This is a different world, so it might be normal here.

[video]

[disastergirl]

So does that mean it's normal for your hair to turn into candy, too?

action!

[weaponry]

[ Oh, Mei, you just knocked over Tenten's trash! Luckily, you're still clean but now there's a giant smelly mess marring the sidewalk. ]

What-?!

action

[alkahestrykunais]

[Oop, she really didn't mean too. Slipping past the trash can and slipping it caused her to fall over as well. Glancing over at the mess than hearing Tenten, her eye's teared up slightly at the sight.]

Wah! I-I'm sorry, the ground is really slippery for me.

[ guilt guilt guilt ]

action

[weaponry]

The ground is really slippery for you? [ ...The hell? Tenten walks around a bit, and even jogs in place. ] It's just fine for me. And, don't worry about the trash. I can pick it up. It didn't spill everywhere. [ She starts to multitask, tossing the waste into the bin without looking. Her focus is mostly fixated on Mei. ]

Did you need help getting around? [Always the servant... even when she's not one.]

[alkahestrykunais]

[Erk, it's Ran Fan. Ignoring the fact that she slipped up on video already, she really doesn't want to make a bigger fool of herself.]

No, I'm fine. I don't need a Yao clan bodyguard to help me.

[The fact she's in a unhappy mood and slightly bratty is not helping.]

video;

[oftheyin]

But Ling... [Fired her. Heh-heh.] I would not be doing it as a bodyguard. I will be coming as a friend.
