01 | (Accidental) Video

[kandescence]

[There's a sharp cracking sound as the video turns on, but the feed doesn't show a face or even a body. Instead, the picture starts off all black before the object that's blocking the screen pulls back: it's the heel of a boot, and it stomps down again a good few times before delivering a kick that sends the communicator skidding across the floor and into the far wall.

A mostly incoherent tirade, peppered with all kinds of colorful curses, accompanies this display.]

...my right to--?!...

...can pay with my sword through your stomach...

...damn interfering bastard--...

[Eventually, though, the fit of rage subsides, a hand reaches down to pick up the communicator, and a scowling face comes into view, only slightly obscured by the thin crack that's appeared across the top right corner of the screen. There's a few seconds of frowning, and then a blink of comprehension and he realizes that the device is on and capturing what he says. He doesn't know who's listening, but he has to assume that he can talk to the Powers That Be this way.]

Oi, whoever you are that's behind this idiot scheme: when I find you, I'm going to wring your damn neck like a dishrag and then cut you into pieces!!



[OOC: Start as you mean to go on? Kanda is in the dorms (room 101) having just seen the (helpful and informative!) orientation video. He's taking it rather well, all things considered. (I'm not sure what it says that this counts as taking it well.) Feel free to have characters hear the commotion coming from his room, if you'd prefer to meet him in full fit of pique run into him in person!]

Comments

[Action, because it's much more hilarious]

[letteropener]

[Someone in the hallway must have heard that immense commotion and the snarling afterwards, because a short moment later, there's a knock at the door.]

[Action] 1/2 (Also, LMAO)

[kandescence]

[Kanda doesn't so much answer the door as yank it open with a force that, if not quite enough to send it off its hinges, certainly makes it no secret that he would do so if he was strong enough.

Actually, bludgeoning whoever the hell is knocking with the door is sounding like it would be highly cathartic right about now, and...]

[Coming up short, mid-tirade, and blinking in confusion like he's just been blindsided by a total non sequitur, which, to be fair, is about what it feels like.]

2/2

[kandescence]

What the hell?

[Why is there a...a unicorn? ...A pegasus? A fucking horse in the goddamn hallway?!]

[letteropener]

[With a mane that flows in a breeze and colors within it that flow completely out of synch with the mane itself. Don't forget that part?]

[She inclines her head slightly, smiling.]

I apologize for bothering you. But I heard the commotion and wondered if you were in some sort of distress.

[kandescence]

[Talking. The horse in the hallway is talking. Its lips are moving, and there's a voice coming from its mouth and...why the hell does it have a rainbow-colored mane??

Kanda may not know a whole lot about horses, but he knows for damn sure that they are not supposed to talk and come in rainbow-colored varieties.

He stares for a moment longer. Then sticks his head cautiously out into the hall to have a good look up and down it in either direction as though looking for someone lurking around a corner operating the controls on the freaky talking winged-rainbow-unicorn-thing.

Finally, seeing no one convenient to blame, he resolves himself to the fact that he's just going to have to deal with...the horse.]

... What?

[Well, that was eloquent.]

[letteropener]

Forgive me. I am Princess Celestia, from the land of Equestria. We do not have humans there, so I imagine my appearance must be quite surprising to you. But I am real, and have appeared here just as you have.

[She says this all with sincere kindness and warmth, and a reassuring smile.]

Video response because Beastboy's lazy

[changelingdude]

Dude, you catch more flies with honey then death threats.

[Video]

[kandescence]

[What the hell is this now? Some weird looking green-faced alien thing?

Kanda's first assumption is that it must fall under the category of People Entities That Can Be Blamed For This Shit. He does, however, have the "graciousness" to ask for confirmation before going off (even more) half cocked. Even if he is asking for said confirmation a lot louder than strictly necessary.]

Are you the one responsible for this?

Re: [Video]

[changelingdude]

[Rolls his eyes because this really has been a weird day]

Don't look at me dude I just got here. Watched a video, then saw your video of you being all shouty.

[Video]

[kandescence]

[He doesn't even process that answer before shouting back.]

Then SHUT UP!!

[And then he seethes for several seconds...until his brain catches up with him.] What the hell do you mean, you just got here? You're not from here?

Re: [Video]

[changelingdude]

[Seems pretty relaxed despite being yelled at]

Well no, I just woke up here. I'm from California.

Beastboy, nice to meetcha.

voice.

[snared]

[ Oh, there it is. He was wondering when the yelling would start. ]

Much obliged.

[Video] (because he can't be bothered with details like turning off the video feed right now)

[kandescence]

What?

voice.

[snared]

It's not a proper kidnapping without a few death threats.

[ Though in his experience, threats usually don't come from the victims. Ah well, first time for everything. ]

[Video]

[kandescence]

[Amazingly, Kanda's brain latches on to the flaw in that logic (or maybe not so amazingly, since it gives him something to be contrary about).]

I didn't kidnap anyone, you idiot!

voice.

[snared]

[ Not much for irony either, apparently. So please, have some more: ]

Oh, no need to be shy.

Action!

[redwhiteandhero]

[Did you even notice there was someone else still asleep when you started shouting there, buddy? Pretty inconsiderate.]

Whoa whoa whoa, cool your jets there, pally, it's too early for that kinda nonsense.

[Ok, so he doesn't even know what's going on yet, but gee whiz, let a guy get some shut-eye.]

Action!

[kandescence]

[Well actually, now that you mention it... The truth is, he noticed the bed, he just didn't give a damn about whether or not it was occupied.

No matter though. The room's other occupant makes a very convenient new target for his ire.]

Who the hell are you? [He shoves the glass communicator out with a kind of accusation.] You have something to do with this?

[redwhiteandhero]

I'm America! [America sits up and rubs at his eyes with the heel of his hand. Aaand cue awareness.] Who're you? What's this place? Are you a commo or a jap?

Wow, this might be a new land speed record for Things Going Badly!

[kandescence]

[Well, America. You've got his attention unfortunately.

In fact for several seconds, he does nothing but give a half slack-jawed stare like he can't decide whether or not to believe his ears.

But presently the initial shock passes, his expression turns steely and his jaw sets. He steps across the room, right up to the man's bed and right into his personal space, and though he's not currently got Mugen in his hand and isn't holding this blond-haired bastard at sword point, he's not going to let it stop him from acting just as threatening as he means to be.]

I'm an Exorcist, you little bitch.

If you want to know where you are you can watch that damn recording on that glass slide of yours. I'm not here to answer your goddamn questions.

Good job team failboat!

[redwhiteandhero]

Did you just call me a bitch, you little punk? [Seriously, you wanna go? You really wanna go? He'll crush you. America is on his feet, jabbing a finger into the other man's chest.] I'd watch your mouth.

[tarotcards]

[ Souji has managed to figure out how to use this network! Aw yeah, that means he can reply to things and man, he hopes that there's more positive things in here instead. He's been dealing with nothing but grumps everywhere so let's dive in to ~*~MAKE FRIENDS~*~ and see what friendly people are here. ]

[ Aaaaaand after searching for a minute, the first entry that he sees is some guy trying to destroying the phone. Okay, we're off to a good start. ]

I don't think threatening someone is going to work. It'll probably make them hide instead.

video

[kandescence]

[Sorry the making friends endeavor isn't starting as you might have wanted there, Souji.]

"Someone"? You know something about what's happening here?

[Because sorry, even if you're getting to this after his rage-fit has simmered down to a slow boil, he's still feeling like anyone who talks to him over the World Mobile could be partially responsible for the current state of affairs.]

video

[tarotcards]

Not much more than you, but I'm assuming that someone here has to be responsible. They want us to work retail, after all.

[ If not a single person, then probably a group of people. ]

video

[kandescence]

And you don't have a problem with that?

[Because you sure seem unbothered by the situation.]
