[actionlog] OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUT

[motheater]

Who: Lilly and poor unfortunate souls
Broadcast: NONE I'M TOO MAD!!!
Action: E V E R Y W H E R E (...Wonderduck and Iskaulit especially, in bars, garden, and library... anywhere, really)
When: NOW

LILLY IS NOT HAPPY.

The moment she woke up on the Marsiva she was a wild angry mess of yelling and hissing and spitting. Because she was supposed to be with Makie, supposed to be around trees and forest and life and not strange metal worlds. Getting transferred to the Wonderduck is... not any better. She runs on all fours with a howl of indignant anger —

And anyone on the Wonderduck is forced to endure, uh...

A yelling, angry creature. If you expected your current engineer to be nice, I hate to tell you, um... She's throwing space food at the walls. Knocking down breakables. Kicking over chairs. Powder, floating through the air, coating her hair and her pajamas and the counters. She runs all throughout the ship before she manages to get to... the Iskaulit. How did she get here? When? Wouldn't you like to know.

You'll find a few things.

a.) You'll find yourself feeling... followed. There's nothing that you can see, but there's a distinct sound of... breathing? And then something darting past your peripheral, perhaps. If you're brave enough to go into the area containing the garden, you'll find the lights all off, as if someone couldn't stand them and their brightness.

And if you're especially unlucky, you can turn on the lights or use your communicator as a light to see this twitching figure:





IIIIEEIIIEEEEEE—!

b.) Or! Maybe you'll find her in angry mode. She's rushed into the library and one of the bars and is probably throwing around bottles and flinging books. What's she screaming the whole time? Maybe you'll even somehow find this strange, strange child on your ship. God have mercy on your soul if she figures the buttons out enough to rush around trying to find an exit. Or at least one can assume that's what she's looking for, because she keeps yelling angrily:



"OUT, OUT, OOOOUT!!"


... Maybe she, idk, wants out.

... Have fun.

Laura heard the child before she smelled her, which was a rarity for her and made her pause, her head tilted to the side, trying to place exactly where the screaming was. And what the screaming was, really. Human? She was almost certain it...yes. Okay. She could smell her now, coming from one of the bars. Accompanied by the distinct sound of breaking glass.

Hmm.

She'd come to the Iskaulit to wander a bit away from the confines of her own ship, and while some part of her had hoped she might find something to do, screaming people hadn't been on the list. Still, she couldn't simply walk away, right?

Which was why she found herself carefully, slowly stepping through the doorway into the bar, scanning the room as she went, listening for evidence of where the clearly disturbed person was.

[motheater]

Lilly's sense of smell is far more tuned than a normal person's, herself, but it can't particularly compare to the nose of the skilled mutant — and really, Laura will probably be lambasted by the different powders and gel food smells lingering on Lilly's clothes or in her hair. What a fit thrown. She hunkers down low when she hears someone's approach, focusing her hearing. She grabs a bottle defensively and peers over the edge of the bar.

She hasn't enjoyed so many people in one space; it's at least good she has some history of dealing with crowds or, at the very least, odd company kept.

Regardless, two focused, owlish eyes watch the corridor intensely.

That is a perfect icon.

[girlverine]

It wasn't the smell that actually led Laura to where the child was hiding, but rather her heartbeat, now that she was close enough to hear it. Green eyes scanned the room until they settled on the pair peering out at her and narrowed slightly, thoughtfully. Small. Young? Probably...but who could say on a ship full of aliens?

Whichever it was, they had done some impressive damage to the bar, at least. Laura took a step closer, listening for anyone else before she let her whole attention focus on the girl.

"What are you doing?"

[motheater]

She watches the woman without saying anything at first, staring sharply with all the focus in the world — someone who is paranoid to be sure, always cautious around new faces. She had hardly gotten used to them as of late, and right now? Everyone makes her feel afraid and angry.

At the question, she throws the bottle; not at Laura, but at the corner of the room to let it shatter everywhere.

[girlverine]

If that had been meant to intimidate or frighten her, it didn't work at all. Her gaze flicked after the bottle, watching it shatter, then back to the child. Aggression, but not directed at her. She was trying to seem threatening without actually getting into direct conflict. It was...very animalistic, really.

Which, given the rest of her behavior, wasn't exactly surprising. But still curious.

"You will stop." She said, moving towards the bar now. Her voice was calm and even but carried an edge of authority, very much a 'this is going to happen' kind of tone. She'd had a lot of practice at that.

[motheater]

Oh lord, don't tell the wild child to stop. It never works.

She scowls, looking unimpressed with the commands. She crawls swiftly across the counter, almost supernaturally — being the adopted child of a supernatural creature has its merits, anyway. She leaps off the bar and pulls herself up onto a table, shoving a ketchup bottle off the counter.

"No!! Let me out! Home!"

[girlverine]

Laura just turned smoothly, following her across the room with her eyes, studying the way she moved and climbed. Definitely a child. Definitely animalistic. Probably would've been frightening if Laura had been someone else.

"I cannot send you home." She said calmly. "And I cannot let you leave while you are destroying things."

Well, she could. She just wasn't going to.

[motheater]

Lilly may not have the widest berth of a vocabulary, but she's very observant and can get plenty out of Laura's words — so this woman is all but useless to her, and she also plans to block her path. which Lilly is far less enthused by; she's not a fan of being blocked in, of feeling endangered. She squats down and starts, focusing on what the woman is doing.

"You leave. Don't — want you."
