Movie Mirage event
[Just seconds after today's morning greeting has finished, Puck appears on the floating island, looking out over the sector with a grin. Sure he could have done this before Veridical's broadcast - there are doubtlessly more people awake now than there were five minutes ago - but since there's not much he can do to enchant the wardens, it's better to wait to make sure they don't say something to ruin his lovely surprise. But now!]

[He doesn't broadcast his spell; in fact, he's not even wearing his communicator, but if someone just happens to pass by the floating island at this moment, they might hear what he's saying:]

Plays of old forgotten be
Yet theatre's still an art to see
Evolved from stage to silver screen
This morning Puck will go unseen
Deliv'ring visions unto all
Come join; we'll have ourselves a ball!

[And thus we have ourselves an event. Details here.]

	Ah...yeah, I guess it's not really what I had in mind when I was talking about seeing the pictures a while ago, but someone has a sense of humor. [And he can hear the voices getting closer. Suddenly a shot rings out and Bucky moves quickly, reaching out to grab her and pull her out of the doorway.] Lets go this way, no need to get blood on a dress that hot.

[About the time he heard the shot, Piper heard a menacing growl of werewolf-like proportions... or, at least, what passed for manacing in a 1950's sound room.]

Wait, what?!

[She was tugged along suddenly, unable to break Bucky's grip on her hand.]

What dress???

[She was in a poodle skirt and sweater set!!

A dress that got a guy to call her hot might not have been so bad, though... and was definitely more her style.]

	[Bucky ducks behind another alley just around the corner, bringing Piper with him, and immediately pulls out a his gun. Two men burst out of the doors he had come from, guns ready. He whispers back to her quietly.] "What dress?" What do you think you're wearing, a fancy bedsheet? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trytobenormal 2013-03-05 08:51 pm UTC (link)
	Well, no... but I wouldn't consider this fancy. [Really, it was typical teenager date wear for the era. Nothing fancy. And what was he doing with that stick? She was whispering, too, because that growling and some crashing of the surrounding underbrush (why did make-out point always have to be in the woods?) sounded like they were being chased...] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Then you've got some serious taste, Pipe. [He moves back a bit more because those goons may have heard them and are coming there way.] Quick, we better think of something. I don't think shooting them in the street is going to go over well with whoever they're working for. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trytobenormal 2013-03-06 04:36 am UTC (link)
	Or you just like things really casual... [She wondered if he thought he was all dressed up in his rolled cuff khakis and cardigan. She frowned. Was he not seeing the same thing she was? This couldn't be good.] Shooting who? We don't have any guns. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gotcliffed 2013-03-06 04:55 am UTC (link)
	[Bucky sees them coming and turns to push her further against the wall.] I don't know what you think is going on but those two goons look like they have it out for me. Mind making like we're having a good time and then we can talk it out later? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Make what?

[She ended up against a tree, staring at him in shock.]

I don't see-...

[Wait... what was that? A werewolf? Not sure if her powers were working in a movie setting, as she hadn't actually tried to use them in that other movie, she decided to go for it. She reached out quickly, giving a sharp gesture at the werewolf. It stopped moving.]

We should go.

[Werewolves weren't cool, okay?]

	[Bucky turns and sees the two men are frozen stiff.] What just...? [He then looks back at her.] How'd you do that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

No time to explain. This place did something weird to my powers, and they don't last as long as they did back home. If we don't go now, they're going to unfreeze.

[Not thinking and finally over her flustered state from him wanting to make out with her, even if it was for show, she took his hand this time and tugged him off down the forest path at a quick pace, hoping to find a road or something that they could get to somewhere with actual people... like a town.]

	[In Bucky's eyes they're heading through a few alleyways, turning and twisting around behind building in the late hours. There aren't that many people around, but he wonders how no one seems to care these two people running through the streets dressed as they are.] Okay, hold on. Powers? You stopped those two like a freeze-frame on a bad movie reel. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trytobenormal 2013-03-06 03:02 pm UTC (link)
	It's one of the things I can do... that and blow things up. But I figured freezing them would be easier. [And if they were seeing different things, who knows who or what that werewolf or the guys Bucky had seen really was.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gotcliffed 2013-03-06 03:10 pm UTC (link)
	[Oh good. Great. Well, he's met vampires so why not people who can freeze things with their minds?] Sounds fun. Next time blowing them up might be better. [Bucky is not exactly the nicest guy when it comes to people coming at him with guns.] If they unfreeze they'll just keep coming or send for reinforcements. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Maybe... but here's the thing.

[She paused now, turning to look at him.]

I'm not seeing what you're seeing. You're not seeing what I'm seeing. So, how do we know those people or things are really what they are? What if they're other people like us and we just can't tell?

[She's been tricked by illusion before, and Phoebe almost killed Paige because of one. She wasn't willing to take that risk.]

	...[That is a good point.] You're right. If I'm seeing one thing and you're seeing another we can't say for sure what they are, but if they were like us? I doubt the first thing they would have done is pick up a gun and chase me down. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She pointed at the stick in his hand, which happened to be a gun for him.]

That? To me? It looks like a stick. It doesn't look like a gun. I'm a forest, being chased by a werewolf, and we're even in black and white.

The outfit? A skirt and sweater set. And you're wearing khaki pants and a sweater with a big varsity letter right here. [She pointed to a spot on his left chest.] No guns.

[She tilted her head a little with an expression that basically said, 'Now tell me what you've got'.]

A--what? [Oh man old movies. They sure did know how to pick 'em.]

Me? I'm a suit. You're in a very nice dark blue dress with a little extra skin in the back--high class, trust me. [He holds up his wrist.] This watch talks and some British-fella keeps calling me 009 or something like that.

[He then points back in there direction.] Them? Nazis. So we really need to figure out what's going on here and how to stop it. You may not see the guns, but I do. And I'm pretty sure if I get shot, it's still going to hurt, too.

	Sounds like a super spy movie... And, yeah. I wouldn't be one to think that it wouldn't hurt. I'm also not in the mood to be mauled by a werewolf, so finding a safe place to lie low and hold out until whatever is going on blows over would probably be a really good idea.

Spy movie? [This is most definitely not the kind of spy movies that Bucky is used to.] Did someone go through MGM's library and decide it would be fun to turn everyone's life into the next big hit?

[It's only a bit rhetorical. This is just confusing and exasperating at the same time.] So lying low sounds good. Except that I don't recognize any of the buildings now and you're...wandering the woods at night.

Yeah. Though, I have a feeling that if there is a place that we're able to enter into, it will have some sort of corresponding place in the dome. If this is just an illusion, we still can't walk through walls. We're still in the dome.

[She considered the settings.]

You lead. You can see walls and stuff where I've just got trees and bushes. You probably have a better idea of where there are doors and things than I do.

	[She's right. If they try to make sense of where they were, it might be easier to figure out where they are.]It's the best idea we've got so far, so let's go with it. I'm pretty I was supposed to be in a bar when this all happened. So if take in account that we probably came out the back-end...we should be three or four blocks over by now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trytobenormal 2013-03-06 10:07 pm UTC (link)
	Alright. I'm guessing we shouldn't head back to the bar. Were you at the Devil's Compass? (Reply to this) (Parent)
