1st Suitor ❦ Video/Action for Goldenrod ❦

[The feed starts with a woman sitting on a bench with a little Gothita beside her. The woman looks like she was plucked out of a history book, with her spine ramrod-straight, her skin the color of porcelain, her waist so narrow that she must be wearing a corset, and her giant green floor-length dress using way too much fabric to be practical. Seriously, she could probably clothe a small country with all the cloth in that dress. Rocket uniform? What Rocket uniform?]

Good morning. [The woman carefully folds her hands in her lap, ignoring the Gothita beside her making a kissy face at the camera.] I am told that this object is ‘broadcasting’ what it sees to whosoever owns another one of its kind, so I decided that I should introduce myself.

[She inclines her head slightly, flashing a beautiful smile.] I am Miss Justine Florbelle. Don’t concern yourself with explaining the current situation to me—people already have, yet I find myself quite displaced. Not by the animals—they, I have accepted. No, what I am curious about is the current date, because I have received conflicting answers. [Yep. Kissy-faced bunny goth things, totally believable. Time skip, no.]

Does anyone care to assist a poor lady in distress?
foolishwren: and he offered me cocaine in a dimly-lit JC Penny's (mothman is REAL)

[All right, Justine. Ready for a big ol' Welcome-to-the-21st-Century mindscrew?]

[Because here's what, for all sakes and purposes, probably looks like a BOY on the screen. Short, shaggy hair, a face full of freckles, and a coat of black leather that pretty much successfully obscures any presence of bust, at least on the tiny PokeGear screen.]

[And then it opens its mouth.]

[And speaks in a VERY GIRLY VOICE.]


... Well, I'm gonna guess it's not your date, unless you're one of those re-enactment people.

The last time I saw a dress like the one you're wearing was in a museum.
foolishwren: it turns out no one appreciated me saying "You got it, boss!" in an old-timey henchman voice every time anybody told me to do something (got kicked out of the BDSM scene)

[Heather blinks, then shrugs broadly.]

Uh, yeah. 'Course I have. Lots of times.

[Surely they had museums in... uh, whatever time period this chick was apparently from.]

For school, or with my dad or something.

foolishwren: like 1-800-DID-I-ASK (why are you telling me this)

[THE BEST FUTURE.]

Well, yeah. I mean, people don't go to 'em every day, but I'm pretty sure most have at least once.

When're you from, exactly?

[Heather sucks at history, she knows those clothes are old but she couldn't place the era even if she tried.]
foolishwren: speak falsehoods mostly, but lately i’ve also been really getting into blaspheming before god ("girl what that mouth do")

[Video] approximating the date because what are consistent Silent Hill timelines

... [Cue a low, impressed whistle. It's not the first time she's met somebody from a time long before hers, but most of them seemed less... ah. Authentic, maybe? Or maybe it was just that they'd adapted more quickly.]

Wow. You sure are a fish out of water.

When I came here, it was 2008.

That was two years ago.

... Almost three, now.
foolishwren: Im highly fucked up. Ive been known to say rude things and watch the carnage brutally unfold (ill tell u this right now: im from hell)

[Video]

[personal profile] foolishwren 2013-02-14 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Pretty common, honestly.

[She props her chin on one fist. Most of the other ~people from the past~ she's talked to were seemingly from pasts that were a lot more advanced, so this is new.]

So wow. Yeah, a lot of important stuff happens way after your time. Like... World War I and stuff.

Pretty crazy.

You'd better get some different clothes. It'll be hell to hike in that dress.
foolishwren: and it so bright its like NAAAAAAA SEBANYAAAAAAAAAAAAA (when you check your phone at 2 AM)

[Video]

[personal profile] foolishwren 2013-02-19 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
Yep.

[She doesn't clarify beyond that. OMINOUS AS HELL.]

[Actually, she didn't really intend it to sound grim, but any further explanation that might have been forthcoming is pretty much cut off by what Justine says next. Heather's face blanks for a second and she just sort of... stares.]


... You did read the manual this place came with, right?

[Hiking's kinda in the job description at least if you're a trainer without a Rocket helicopter to fly you around]
