Iskaulit Mingle - Problems with Psychics

[notzubats]

Who: Anyone on the Iskaulit!
Broadcast: If you'd like?!
Action: Iskaulit!
When: Today, as Sora's augment glitch starts.

[It's your average day on the Iskaulit. Absolutely nothing seems out of place initially, but without any warning- you might find yourself or your friends experiencing some problems. What's up on that?

In other words, it's an Iskaulit mingle with a twist! Come on in everyone! You don't need to interact with Sora to have it effect you, so feel free to start your own threadstarter! Or talk to Sora, that's cool too. ]

Detective or spy novels seem too obvious, and yet.

[nowyouseeit]

[AND YET. . .]

[makes a face at "detective," but truthfully, he likes those too. not that he's admitting to it aloud]

You're close. I like crime and spy novels, too. Some fantasy titles are also pretty good. Clover 'n I used to read books about a wizard thief together back in Kyriakos.

[handwave, handwave]

I like to change things up every so often.

[robitussin]

Wizard thief... Weird. What echo did you get that from?

[nowyouseeit]

Delriza-- sheep gal.

[the way he smiles is almost nostalgic]

She had a pretty good collection, heh. Of movies and books.

[robitussin]

Oh, right. The weird one. Though I guess that could describe any of them... Anyways.

...Did you even have a way to watch movies?

[nowyouseeit]

[snaps the book shut and places it aside, before he nods firmly]

The dream projector. After we won enough games, Delriza created one for everyone on Tiamat to use.

Also, you should be grateful I'm going along with this line of conversation, rather than pressing you about why you're stuck to the floor.

[he just HAD to remind her]

[robitussin]

Ugh, lucky.

[...she makes a face]

I could get up any time I wanted to. I just don't want to.

[nowyouseeit]

Really?

[archea an eyebrow skeptically]

What's so fascinating about sitting on this specific spot on the floor, then?

[robitussin]

It's very comfortable, and also, I'm tired and don't want to move.

[nowyouseeit]

. . .

Your pride is gonna be your downfall one day.

[says the pot to the kettle]

[robitussin]

I don't know what you're talking about, I'm being completely honest and sincere.

[clearly]

[nowyouseeit]

[opens his mouth to say something]

[just as a RANDOM SPLASH OF WATER suddenly douses him in the face and, of course, the open mouth. cue surprised coughing, hacking and sputtering. Opal might wind up getting a little wet, too]

W-- the heck?!

[robitussin]

[you know what

the small amount of water that gets on her is totally worth it for the look on his face, even if she looks shocked for a moment too]

...Hahaha, holy shit!

[nowyouseeit]

[wipes water from his face and bangs D|]

O-oi oi! Don't laugh! S'not funny!

[robitussin]

It totally is! Oh my god, the look on your face.

[nowyouseeit]

[this is what he gets for picking on her. guh. his shoulders slump as he glowers and checks to make sure the books are okay]

Where did that water even come from?

[robitussin]

You're asking me? How should I know?

[nowyouseeit]

[he has to brush a few water droplets off the cover of one book, but otherwise, they seem to have avoided the worst of it]

'Cause you've been here way longer than I have. I thought you'd be familiar with weird things like this happening.

[robitussin]

I mean, a lot of weird stuff happens here, but I've never seen someone get randomly hit in the face by water. Maybe the universe just likes mocking you.

[nowyouseeit]

[opens his mouth to argue]

[. . .]

[but his mouth snaps shut again moments later because damn it, considering how his luck has shaken out across dimensions, he wouldn't be surprised if that was true. instead, he just. slumps. defeated]

[robitussin]

Yep, that's what I thought.

[nowyouseeit]

You're still one to talk, Miss I'm-Stuck-to-the-Floor-and-Refuse-to-Admit-It.

[robitussin]

I can honestly say that I am not stuck to the floor.

[nowyouseeit]

[gives her the MOST DUBIOUS expression he can muster]

[aka he doesn't believe her]

[robitussin]

[okay FINE she's getting up!! successfully, even, but it looks like she's... leaning on something invisible to help her?

opal stop cheating with the spells you quested for]

Ha! See, I did it. I'm good, I'm fine. Eat it.
