a mingle to kick things off

[devoursall]

Monobear has been kicked, the mock murder never happened (edit: or did it...? Your memories might seem a little jumbled...), the first round of refugees has been picked up (sort of), and GETHOMEQUEST 2014 has begun.

IT'S TIME

TO

MINGLE

setting info is here but feel free to make up your own shit, driving this hopeboat is a group effort

[GETHOMEQUEST 2014 SUUUUCKS]

[Really though, what's... going on... The Monobear symbols that were formerly painted on the walls of the ship have been replaced -- by huge bows and heart stickers. The whole place is decorated like it's a little girl's princess-themed birthday party.]

...What.

[devoursall]

What what?

[HERE SHE IS SHE IS HERE kinda tilting her head at the wall. squinting. What's got you in a twist li'l cooker of food?]

[uncoverthetruth]

...Oh, hi.

[it's the... dinosaur.]

I just don't remember all this pink being here last time. [Does the dinosaur even see it? Can she see colour?]

[devoursall]

Pink... [Oh hey, there is pink. Huh!] Are you certain, small thing? Perhaps you simply were not paying attention.

[uncoverthetruth]

What, so you've seen it before?

[devoursall]

Of course I have! This hallway was the pinkest of pink. Do you not remember?

[uncoverthetruth]

No, I don't. I guess your big dinosaur brain can remember more than mine, huh?

[He laughs, not as nervous this time.]

[devoursall]

You should be concerned, small thing! You are too young for your memory to be going!

[uncoverthetruth]

Hey, rude, my memory is great! You just have a naturally better memory than me, that's all.

[devoursall]

Flattery does not decrease your chances of being eaten, you know.

Also, I was messing with you.

[uncoverthetruth]

I figured.

[Do you like wry grins, Maw? Because that's what you're getting.]

[devoursall]

Good! Good, you are sharp. That may earn you a few spare heartbeats yet. Fingers crossed!

[Have a lick to the head, kid. c: ]

[uncoverthetruth]

Oh, thank goodness, I don't know what I would do without those--

[AHAHA omg dinosaur kisses no that tickles staaaaahp]

[The next words out of Keiichi's mouth sound something like "fjkldsjaf".]

[ice_in_shibuya]

Yo, K-bro!

[Beat comes jogging up, board under one arm]

What the HELL happened?!

[uncoverthetruth]

You speak as if I know!

[Keiichi shrugged at Beat, frowning. Apparently it was some kind of holographic simulation, but...]

Glad to see you, though.

[ice_in_shibuya]

Ditto. I was thinking I busted my head and made everythin' up or something.

[uncoverthetruth]

Well, if you busted your head I busted mine.

...Though I dunno how they actually hurt you underneath that thick skull.

[huehuehue]

[ice_in_shibuya]

Heh, damn straight.

[Beat no]

[uncoverthetruth]

[He keeps smiling, partially out of disbelief.]

But if all your head is bone, what is there not room for in there?

[ice_in_shibuya]

...

[Gears slowly moving]

Man, you don't put things in your *head*.

[uncoverthetruth]

But what things are already iiiin your head?

[He makes a goofy grin and puts one finger in his ear.]

[ice_in_shibuya]

[Head tilted like a confused dog]

Ear drums?

[uncoverthetruth]

Yer brain.

If your head is all bone, then there's no room for... [He waves his hands in a circular motion, urging Beat to finish the sentence.]

[ice_in_shibuya]

Oooooh, I get it!

[But he's pretty much forgotten the original insult and just grins]

[uncoverthetruth]

That's my boy.

[Totally a success in his book, even if Beat will never know.]
