WE LIKE TO PARTY

[There once were some worlds that worked so hard, there was just no time to play. But that will all changed when a weird bus pulls up one day.

Your character is going to be in the middle of whatever, at their home, on a mission, dying, whatever...when they’re approached by the giant Moron Mountain Party Bus. Approached is a strong word when it seems determined to reach your character at all costs, crashing through walls or blending in, whatever necessary.

Once the bus approaches and your character has taken notice of it, the doors open. You have three options here.

1. You can board the bus willingly, upon which the bus will close it’s doors drive/fly/dive towards it’s next pickup.
2. Be hypnotically entranced beyond your free will and dance on to the bus, thanks to the actually-hypnotic tones of ”We Like To Party” which the bus will play should you choose not to willingly board.
3. Have your character get pulled onto the bus by a giant cartoon hand that emerges from the top of it, grabbing and tossing your character on.

Once they’re on, you’ll realize the interior of the party bus is fairly luxurious. There’s a pole, a couple of drinks stashed next to one of the couches, and a disco ball. A few TV monitors hang around too, broadcasting some basketball game (but there’s a remote right there). There’s clearly someone wanting to keep you comfortable, but...who?

It’ll be of less comfort when you realize the bus doesn’t have a driver or a steering wheel, and as soon as you stepped on, all of your powers and weapons were rendered useless. It’s ominous, but hey, there’s drinks.



(ooc: Welcome to Foolish Mortals’ Non-Disney Round! You won’t arrive at Moron Mountain until the host intro log, so your bios and the locations haven’t come into play yet. If you or your character would want anything aboard the massive party bus within reason, feel free to assume it’s there, as it’s obviously pretty luxurious. The bus pick-ups happen in the following order, ICly:

1. Morty Smith
2. Boss Baby
3. Otis
4. Wabuu
5. Ginger
6. Fizzy
7. Willy Wonka
8. Coraline Jones
9. Gandhi
10. Cleo
11. The Little Girl
12. Audrey
13. Penny Poledina
14. Beth Tezuka
15. Beetle
16. Kubo
17. Spongebob Squarepants
18. Aquaman
19. Bender
20. Samurai Jack
21. Dinobot
22. Zhu Li Moon
23. Sarah Lynn
24. Bojack Horseman
25. Centipeedle
26. Dan Backslide ]

Re: Lucky Passenger 13, what could go wrong?

...weapons? I'm not yet old enough to carry a gun. And I don't have any reason to bring anything else that might be considered a weapon to school.

[There's a pause as she checks her backpack and realizes it's much lighter than it was this morning.]

Wait, they took my textbooks? If they've been damaged in any way, I'm definitely adding that to the lawsuit-!
in4apounding: (i am so confused)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2018-06-03 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Aren't you? I mean, not without supervision- oh, you're not training to be a Huntress, then?

[What's this "too young" thing, sounds fake.]

Were they valuable? Your books.
essentiallyinvisible: (worrying about the future)

[personal profile] essentiallyinvisible 2018-06-04 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Um...no? I'm pretty sure that's not really a career you can prepare for in school. Additionally, there aren't even any woods near where we live. Also I don't really want to kill animals. [One of her best friends is a fox, okay.]

...they weren't that expensive, but still! I'm supposed to look after them!
in4apounding: (um)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2018-06-04 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
...What do the woods and animals have to do with being a Huntress?
essentiallyinvisible: (please understand)

[personal profile] essentiallyinvisible 2018-06-05 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
Um...aren't hunters people that go into the woods and shoot animals? I guess "huntress" would just be the female equivalent of that.
in4apounding: (well that's just improbable)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2018-06-06 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
No? I mean, I guess there are people who hunt animals, but I mean the people who fight the Grimm.
essentiallyinvisible: (shock)

[personal profile] essentiallyinvisible 2018-06-06 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Um...okay, I've never heard about the Grimm. I assume you're not talking about the Grimm Brothers or the fairytales they collected.
in4apounding: (is they gone)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2018-06-06 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Grimm BROTHERS?

[You have successfully, if briefly, crashed Penny.exe.]

...calling a bunch of fairytales that seems like it would be in very poor taste.
essentiallyinvisible: (thinking about things)

[personal profile] essentiallyinvisible 2018-06-07 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah...that's the only connotation of the word "Grimm" that I have. And that I think most people back home have. It's just a family name, for them. Although I believe it's less popular now.
in4apounding: (well that's just improbable)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2018-06-07 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
The Grimm are terrible monsters that attack people on sight, they're very dangerous. If anyone had it as a family name, they definitely would've changed it a long, long time ago.
essentiallyinvisible: (thinking about things)

[personal profile] essentiallyinvisible 2018-06-07 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, that definitely makes sense. And I guess that's why you have special academies to train for fighting them?
in4apounding: (let me explain u a thing)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2018-06-07 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly. They're the biggest threat to humanity in the world.

...Do they really not have them where you're from?
essentiallyinvisible: (thinking about things)

[personal profile] essentiallyinvisible 2018-06-07 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
I'm pretty sure I would have heard about them...even if they didn't come to France, there would have been something on the news.
in4apounding: (well that's just improbable)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2018-06-07 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
They're- pretty much everywhere outside the protection of the kingdoms. France is where you're from?
essentiallyinvisible: (thinking about things)

[personal profile] essentiallyinvisible 2018-06-07 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
Well, the country. I live in the neighborhood close to Werth Academy. [She mutters softly.] Is this another time travel thing...?
in4apounding: (this concerns me)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2018-06-07 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
Iiiiiiiit might be?

[Robot hearing, sorry.]

[And apparently time travel is easier to accept than a world without Grimm.]


Grimm have been around as long as- ever, though, I think. I don't think there's any kind of recorded history without them.
essentiallyinvisible: (studying)

[personal profile] essentiallyinvisible 2018-06-07 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
Well, is it possible that the history of times before they existed has been destroyed? Especially if they appeared suddenly, there would be little time to save what already existed.
in4apounding: (let me explain u a thing)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2018-06-07 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
That's definitely possible, I suppose. Fighting Grimm was nearly impossible before the discovery of Dust. ...Which I'm. Guessing you don't know about either?

[She considers for a second.]

...The crystalline power source. Not the kind of stuff you need to clean up. Though you definitely need to clean up the other kind, too, it can be very dangerous to leave around loose.
essentiallyinvisible: (thinking about things)

[personal profile] essentiallyinvisible 2018-06-07 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I haven't heard of a power source like that, either. What exactly makes it useful for fighting Grimm?
in4apounding: (let me explain u a thing)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2018-06-07 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
It can be used to power all kinds of weapons, and different types carry different kinds of elemental effects.

So one gun can shoot charges with- say, lightning or fire or ice effects, depending on what's needed. Plus it powers all kinds of other things, too. Everything, really. It's VERY potent.
essentiallyinvisible: (studying)

[personal profile] essentiallyinvisible 2018-06-07 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
...wow. [She looks awed.] Even without Grimm, something like that could have a lot of practical applications in our world. Is it harmful after it's used up?
in4apounding: (well that's just improbable)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2018-06-07 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think so? It mostly just kind of- gets used up.

[Though of course we don't know for sure because god forbid Rooster Teeth get into that level of worldbuilding about something so important.]

Most Huntsmen out in the wild don't exactly have time to collect spent cartridges or anything.
essentiallyinvisible: (thinking about things)

[personal profile] essentiallyinvisible 2018-06-07 08:38 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods. That makes sense.] If Dust really can work like that...it would be a very powerful source of clean energy for people. [A pause] Of course I wouldn't want to deprive your Hunters of it! That would be bad. But I can't help but think of ideas about how it would work.
in4apounding: (let me explain u a thing)

[personal profile] in4apounding 2018-06-09 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, it's already used to power almost everything, not just our weapons.
essentiallyinvisible: (eager smile)

[personal profile] essentiallyinvisible 2018-06-09 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, really? That's even better! Although I guess with the Grimm around it could be harder to collect all you need...
