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

Yeah, I feel the same way. I guess on some level I wish I didn't remember something like that, but at the same time... it just kind of makes me want to make sure everything goes right this time, you know? Even more than usual.

And yeah, everything seems a lot nicer now, so maybe that won't be too hard.

...well hey, I'm always up for something like that!

[loveisanopendoor]

I get what you mean. It's...kind of motivating, in a messed up way. But in a situation like this, I don't think anyone has a reason to try and kill anyone else. Assuming it's not some kind of crazy trick...of course, not that we'd let it happen if anyone else tried. ...Even if it was that Highblood guy, as scary as being in his hair was. Yeesh...it was like he had never taken a bath in his life or something.

At the very least, I'm a fan of the color of the decor now, so I hope that stays the same.

In any case, though, I'm gonna say...

Whoever doesn't find the supplies has to be the first to clean, and touch the first utensil with...her bare hands~! ...Over the sink with the soap ready, of course.

[thejusticewagon]

...Yeah, I really don't know what's up with that Highblood guy. He's really creepy and gross, and I think I'm going to have to keep an eye on him while things are calmed down. And if it's a trick, it's a really elaborate one...

...

That's... a grave consequence indeed! Even with everything at the ready...!

[loveisanopendoor]

If nothing else, at least you can beat him in another one of those spoken word duels, if he needs to be kept in check.

What's the matter? Don't tell me the great and powerful champion of justice Cynthia is scared!

[She gives her a little smirk, taunting her a bit in jest~]

[thejusticewagon]

Oh, yeah, definitely! I am a master wordsmith, so I should have no problems there.

...I'm not saying I'm afraid of that. It's my duty as a champion of justice to protect civilians, and I'm sure you'd lose!

[loveisanopendoor]

That so? I feel like I'm decent enough, if you give me some music to work with, eheh..

I'm no civilian, though, I'm a Princess, and I'm also an exceptionally good finder, so there are no problems! If you're nervous I'll kick your butt, you can just say so!

[thejusticewagon]

...oh, really? Well, if I need to face him again in battle, you should definitely be my second!

Hm... well, if you truly think you can best me, then I accept your challenge!

[loveisanopendoor]

Maybe I'll be backup vocals! It'll be Cynthia's Super High School Level Smackdown, featuring Anna! ...Or something like that.

I mean, our last challenge didn't really end the way we had hoped, so...I'll look around and definitely beat you~!

[thejusticewagon]

...Yeah, yeah! That's even a great title for it! We will absolutely have to try this.

Yes, absolutely! Round two is going to turn out way better!

[loveisanopendoor]

[Cynthia confirmed for biggest enabler]

We'll make it happen! But before that...

3, 2, 1, go!

[And so she sprints towards the broom closet! Here we go again!]

[thejusticewagon]

[super high school level enabler you mean]

All right, let's do this!

[AND THEY'RE OFF! Cynthia has speed on her side, as well as having been to the broom closet before.

...

but her powers of non-observation are legendary.]

[loveisanopendoor]

[At least she's been there before! Anna is going into this totally blind. The ship is completely huge, but if there's a laundry room or something nearby...]

I, uh, forgot how completely enormous this ship is...

[thejusticewagon]

[...meanwhile, Cynthia's nonexistent sense of direction is foiling her again.]

...Darn, where was that broom closet again?

[loveisanopendoor]

...Okay, Anna, this probably wasn't your smartest idea...

Broom closet, broom closet...if I were a broom closet, where would I be..?

[She's kind of just...opening any door she think looks like it could be leading to a broom closet...]

[thejusticewagon]

...It had to be somewhere around here, right? Oh, wait, no, those are the showers...

[...actually, at this point, Anna probably has a better chance of winning this than Cynthia...]

[loveisanopendoor]

I'm so lost...

[She's somehow managed to make her way over to the holodeck, of all places.]

I wonder if I can get cleaning supplies from anywhere in here? Or I can use this to teleport to a place that has cleaning supplies?

[Poor girl isn't exactly familiar with the idea of a hologram, obviously.]

[thejusticewagon]

[meanwhile, Cynthia turns a corner, triumphantly thinking that she's finally found the right place...

...

...

it's the kitchen again. of course.]

...

...

...

Heroes never surrender...

all my life has been a series of doors in my face

[loveisanopendoor]

[At this point, Anna is basically convinced the broom closet doesn't exist, and it's all just a clever illusion meant to lead the both of them astray. Either that or it's in an alternate dimension altogether. Wouldn't be the weirdest thing that happened today.]

Where haven't I gone yet...

[She thinks she's opened just about every door there is to open, but...]

[thejusticewagon]

[...is that

...yep, it's Anna...]

...don't tell me you haven't found it either...!

[loveisanopendoor]

Uh, I'm kind of convinced the broom closet doesn't exist anymore...or something. Maybe we were only dreaming it was a thing?

[thejusticewagon]

Or maybe it got hidden behind something in the redecoration... I mean, I swear it was somewhere, but I haven't been able to find it at all.

[loveisanopendoor]

Me neither, but I've never been there before, so I haven't the foggiest ide--

Wait a second...it's not inside the kitchen, is it..?

[thejusticewagon]

...

Oh, crackers...!

[AND SHE'S OFF]

[loveisanopendoor]

Oooh, I knew I should have kept that to myself..!

[THEY'RE BOTH GOING TO THE BROOM CLOSET BUT WILL THEY FIND WHAT THEY NEED]

[thejusticewagon]

I will not be the one washing the ---
