Mingle: Event Kick-Off
[ It was mid-morning. The sky was clear and it was a (not so) very blustery day. It was cool but it was always cool. It was neither too warm nor too hot.

Lukewarm.

And that was just how Bak preferred it. Especially since he had in hand his very important, extra special concoction of wonderful forgetfulness on hand! Bak could stand teasing, but even this was getting ridiculous.

Hefting the bag a little higher so it fit snug into the crook between elbow and shoulder, he stepped off into wild world of Marinanova and promptly had to grab onto his hat.

Opps. He always forgot about that step down.

Taking another step, he nearly tripped again, this time on a rock. Frowning, Bak starred at the offending piece of debris and then he kicked it.

And yelped.

And then held his foot, dropping his bag in a near blinding rush of ”Eeeek!” as he dived for the paper bag, watching as with a POOF half of the contents disappeared into the wind, leaving him sneezing and dazed on the ground wondering what the heck had just happened. Clearly, his own formula had been getting the best of him. It happens when one sneaky scientist messes with the formula and Bak spent the better part of the morning putting the final touches of the mixture together.

Heightened emotions indeed.

Bak will rue this day assuming he survived it. ]


((ooc: Consider this post an open mingle and the start of the Marina Feelings Roulette Event! Creating your own posts is, as always, highly encouraged. And, unless you got an extra hefty dose of it right off the bat (re: by being in proximity to Bak when it happened) feelings should gradually start to go haywire later in the day with strongest feelings in the afternoon and tapering off again as evening descends. For more info on the details, please go here. Have fun!))

[ aradia is certainly not used to this feeling. there's a strange sense of dread lurking somewhere in the back of her head, making her want to curl up, to protect herself, to withdraw. something about her just feels wrong -- like she should be ashamed or apologetic. it's a strong contrast to her usual urge to put herself out there, to try new things.

it's unpleasant.

she's forcing herself out and about the dome to try and shake this feeling, hiding under a red hoodie, large horns and all. she's not sure how this will go if she runs into anyone, especially anyone she knows, but oh well.

ooc: open to anything! aradia's just going to be a lot more shy than usual, as indicated. if you have any preferences for how you want this to go/special reactions, hit me up, contact info is in her journal!

[Coming down from the morning's drunken binge and right into a headache, Calliope's quest for some painkillers quite nearly leads her into bumping into Aradia.]

Oh, sorry, I-

[It registers seconds too late who it is, and Calliope basically smacks herself in the face with her shopping bag to try and cover it up.] Ow. Sorry.

[ aradia's almost as startled as calliope is. she's been keeping her gaze to her feet, so it's no surprise that she's actually running into someone.

registering who that particular someone is, though, is different. the voice clicks, even though she's never seen her face, and her gloomy expression perks ever-so-slightly into a small smile.
]

Miss Umbra! I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention, a-are you okay?

[ she's intrigued by her appearance over disgusted or appalled; other races, other anythings have always been the thing that piqued her interest the most, but she's much too reserved to launch her usual barrage of questions today. ]

[Calliope realizes she shouldn't have said anything, but that would just be rude.]

[She drops her hands and sighs, not quite able to meet Aradia's searching gaze. Deep down, she can't help but imagine her brother's text-voice berating her for being so fond of trolls.]

[What she'd like to do is run, but something seems off, here, all the same.]


I'm fine, love, not to worry. Are... are you alright? I didn't hurt you, or anything?

[ when aradia hears calliope sigh, she does her best to nix her curious examination, opting instead to try and make eye contact. it's hard, considering how she's feeling today, but she knows it'll come across better than just looking away. ]

No, um, you didn't hurt me, I'm fine. Just feeling a bit off today, is all. Really off, if we're being honest.

Hm? [That bit of honesty catches her attention rather keenly, and she finally does make eye contact. And then desperately hopes she can seem cool and calm in the face of such a pretty troll.]

What's wrong?

I really don't know. Everything feels wrong, and I don't like it. I almost didn't come out today at all.

[ she wraps her arms around herself tightly in a nice little self-hug, biting her lip. ]

I'm really sorry, I don't want to bother you with all this. It's weird.

[Calliope frowns. It's not as though she knows Aradia terribly well, but this is definitely not the same girl she spoke to at length on the network.]

No, no, you aren't bothering me at all!

What do you like, Aradia? To do, or eat, or- anything.

[ in any normal instance, aradia'd be firing off a list of answers. but today, it takes her a moment to organize her thoughts into something coherent. what does she like? what makes her happy? ]

Are you sure...?

New things. In general, I guess. And I like a lot of food, my friend Peter has been having me try a lot of stuff here ... exploring. Secrets.

[ she seems to be having a bit of difficulty actually getting the words out. ]

[Calliope studies Aradia carefully, and then gives her a cautious smile.]

I'm sure you've never met a cherub before, right?

You can see me as a new "thing."

[info]corpsepartying

You aren't a thing...!

[ after another moment's pause, she smiles, too. ]

You're right, though, I haven't. ...is this why you didn't want me to show you around? It's -- it's okay, you know. I think you're really neat.

[ there's some definite bravery required to say that, but she feels it needs to be said. ]

[Calliope holds her smile in place, but she feels incredibly self-conscious as Aradia touches back on her original reasoning for not accepting her offer.]

[Not enough to ruin her desire to make Aradia feel better, but it's still very much there.]


Oh... well, thank you, love. I think you're neat, too.

[To say the least.]

[ hearing that is certainly heartwarming. it helps her feel a little less down-in-the-dumps, and gives her just a smidgen enough courage to ask her next question. ]

Would you maybe want to go get some dinner? A nice distraction would help me, I think.

[ Meanwhile, Aidan's usual friendly and approachable attitude has taken a sharp turn for the testy and sour. Not that it'll stop him from going out — maybe the brisk walk will work out this weird sense of frustration so things can go back to normal. Maybe.

Needless to say he isn't paying as much attention as he should and when turning a corner... well. Near-collision. ]

[ aradia tenses and stumbles back just before she slams against aidan, nearly falling over on her rear in the process. ]

Sorry! I didn't mean to, sorry, sorry...

[ Oh. That... actually makes him feel a touch bad. Maybe he's looking for a fight but he knows he's not going get it from a shy girl like this. ]

Aradia.

[ she finally offers up a soft smile, now that she knows she's not in any danger. ]

I will have been here for two weeks soon, so not quite new, but also not a veteran.

I don't find it all that bad, to be honest.

[ she's visibly relaxing more, now, seeming more like her usual self (though aidan wouldn't be aware of what that's like). ]

I have a few friends who said they were here for the old dome. Were you?

Yeah, I was. It wasn't such a bad place either... a little different, I guess. Not as much stuff.

I'll consider myself lucky, then.

[ a smile. ]

In the end, I don't think Marina is all that bad of a place, overall. We're safe to a good degree, freed from obligations, and able to do almost whatever we want, within reason.
