Cafe XII: Dramaticus Ridiculous

[Captain Whosit]

Seriously, you guys go through these like tissues during a flu epidemic.

Alright, I would just like to start out with a little message. I would like to remind everyone of the big bolded stuff at the bottom of this post. I know that trolls, and some of the other creatures that have been appearing, can tend to be rather rowdy, but I have become a bit concerned lately that it sometimes gets out of hand. I just want to remind everyone that the intent of the Cafe is to be a place to get some free-form, social RP going. Obviously, some rough-housing will be inevitable, but please avoid using characters who are likely to provoke hostile responses by their very nature. I would like the general emphasis to be on social interaction, rather than anti-social interaction.

I do not want to be a cop, but I do want to make sure that this thread is an inviting place for everyone. So, please, do have a good time, but try not to go overboard. I would like the Cafe to be as inviting to new players as possible.

Every where you go, there's places like this; a comfortable place, dimly lit, with coffee and couches and books on the shelves and free wifi and, I don't know, a soup of the day. After the sun comes up they put up the shutters and sell alcohol. It's homey, unless your homelife involves caves and monsters that eat people, which it probablv does, because you're a troll.

It's a good place to have a seat and a cup of coffee, and make a friend, which in your language is the same word as enemy, because... you're a troll.

((And if you are maybe a human, which is a thing that doesn't exist, in another univere pretending to be a troll, maybe this is a good place to roleplay in a casual, social, variably canon setting or try out a new character. Please don't poke the setting too hard and please don't go on any murderous rampages. Honk.

EDIT: Feel free to NPC service when you order something, I can't watch this all the time or reply to every comment. For that matter feel free to assume your troll works here and fill someone's order if you want.

EDIT2: OKAY GUESS WE NEED SOME RULES AFTER ALL.

This is really intended to be a loose social setting for people to fool around and chat and try new characters. It is a not great place for a big brawl in the middle of the room that everyone pretty much has to react to. If you are playing a character who is inevitably going to try and hurt people and provoke this kind of thing, you should really think long and hard about bringing them in here for that reason. If a fight comes up in the course of RP, please take it ''outside' instead of disrupting the whole room. It being in the thread is fine, but it should be set somewhere where new people or people who don't want to be involved can ignore it, please. ))

At first, it took a second to figure out what was going on. Her eyes then widened, and the zombie kneels down and takes the glasses off, and began to panic. Oh my gog oh my gog ofhgjfidssssss Chi-Len reacts by rolling the crying troll over, and takes one of Cimera's arms gently but quickly and then tucks the glasses onto her face. Oh gog oh gog oh gog oh gog ohgog I'M SO SORRY The zombie shouted.

Chimera's hand forcefully jabs the glasses back up on her face, but she's still writhing in pain on the floor. After getting her glasses on, she quickly rolls herself back over and cuddles into a ball. A pillow is withdrawn from her strife specibus, and she brings it to her chest and rocks herself.

Woo, way to be pathetic.

With a pillow pressed to her face, she's biting into it and still crying a bit, delving in and out of unconsciousness. Her pupils were still very much contracted, and her jaw muscles were clenched so hard that she began to grit her teeth in frustration.

Though, being in complete agony is a small price to pay for going completely blind.

[FlyingFrogSlash]

Mitrah hears the voice and she responds in a soft, trembling voice...not all like the one that all others know well...the voice of a confused...hurt, shy little troll...just like her voice that day sweeps ago...

I...I d-don't understand...I a-am giving my whole self to her....I...I care for her...please...please...I'm...I d-don't understand...I...I w-w-would d-die f-f-for her....

[privateTenderloin]

Ryus just sort of plops his head onto the table, his hat falls off revealing his hornless head but at this point he honestly doesn't care.
I umm... just need some uhh... time to think umm... maam.
I thought umm... I had uhh... figured it umm... out, but it umm... looks like uhh... I was wrong maam.

Ryus scoots over so Shaula can sit down.

I just umm... need to uhh... talk I guess maam and sir.

He is still face-down on the table.

[inexplicableSigns]

"YoU GavE EverythinG TO HeR? WhaT AbouT HiM?"
Siapa points over at Ryus.
"DiD YoU GivE EverythinG TO HiM ToO? ArE TherE OtherS? ThreE? FouR?
zealousExplorer.
YoU WanT SiapA? StraighteN YouR BullshiT OuT FirsT. IF ShE IS YourS, ShE IS GoinG TO BE ThE OnlY OnE ThaT IS. EveN A ChilD CoulD UnderstanD ThaT. SiapA DoeS."
The venom in her voice is obvious, but it is also obvious that Siapa isn't the one talking anymore. Siapa is slowly growing a long pair of horns, and her eyes remain that curious shade of yellow.
Lemmon has never been this furious before.
"MY NamE IS LemmoN. FreedoM AnD HappinesS. JudgE, JurY, ExecutioneR IF I MusT. MY JudgemenT IS FinaL."
The horns shrink and vanish, and her eyes return to normal. She looks up at Plader.
"...i w-wanna go home, daddy."

Chimera's hand forcefully jabs the glasses back up on her face, but she's still writhing in pain on the floor. After getting her glasses on, she quickly rolls herself back over and cuddles into a ball. A pillow is withdrawn from her strife specibus, and she brings it to her chest and rocks herself.

Though, being in complete agony is a small price to pay for going completely blind.

Chi-Len still kneeled down, worried about her. Trying not to hurt her, she layed a hand on her back. ..Ah yew.. ohkey? ( ; n; ) She asked, scared that she could make her snap after she recovered.

Oh boy.

Look what you done Missie Corpse Girl.

[Rio]

Shaula sits down besides Ryus and awkwardly hugs him. Well, awkwardly mainly because he's introducing the table to his face.
It'll get better...

[Teslamagnetic Integration]

Zack walks over casually to the troll writhing in pain. Oh hey, that troll was with that weird guy in the fedora quite a ways back. That uh...seemed painful.

Time for attention. Time for intervention. Time for



SCIENCE

Squatting down, Zack laid a hand on her shoulder, closing his eyes for a moment. Had to find the right current in the nervous system. Had to find the right nodes and pulses. Had to find the right lobe...

ZZZZZZZZAP Of course, that was just the effect of a very gentle taze, which would, if it worked, temporarily cut off the pain receptors.

Hey, you okay there sport?

[scintillatingMoniker]

Sur<.>

He picks her up and hugs her tight. He glares with a red visor at Mitrah one last time, then heads for the door and leaves with Siapa in his arms.

[Captain Whosit]

Salom is now feeling more awkward. He's wondering if he should leave Ryus and Shaula alone, but he's feeling too awkward to ask. So he just sits there, awkwardly, saying nothing. Awkward silence.

[FlyingFrogSlash]

Mitrah simply trembles...and one thought flashes through her mind, almost causing to lose her sanity;"She has just lost BOTH of them" . The little one begins to whimper whispering over and over again. Ohgodohgodohgodohgoddon'tleavemenotagainnotagainno tagain...ohgodwhydotheyalwaysleave...always...ivel ostthemalli'velost...

((damn it...why Do I feel so sorry for my troll when I really shouldn't...))

[privateTenderloin]

Ryus sighs and touches her arm with his hand as a sort-of return hug.

Umm... thanks maam.
I umm... needed that maam.

He then drops his hand and lifts his head, making sure to re-don his hat.

So umm... can we uhh... talk about something umm... different for uhh... now sir and maam?
How umm... have the uhh... two of umm... you been in my uhh... absence sir and maam?

[scintillatingMoniker]

A pair of arms with sleeves just a bit too long for them wrap themselves around Mitrah from behind.

)mitrah... please dOnt cry(

Chim attempts to swat a bit at Chi-Len, but it came off as a pathetic wave into air that she couldn't particularly see. She would even reply, but she's too busy biting the fuck out of her pillow. Oh look, there's some stuffing. It's just kind of laying on the ground now.

And then Zack comes up.

And then Cimera is zapped. Her deathly grip on the pillow instantly alleviates, and she relaxes a bit, though her vision was still completely fucking shot. She just kind of lays there now, head in pillow. Because she didn't really want to move after that. Though, her head had temporarily stopped hurting, the uncouthness of laying on the floor holding onto a pillow wasn't the best way to go about ending a day.

She buries her head into the pillow further.

[FlyingFrogSlash]

Oh Alunas...your timing is so perfect....(not sarcasm.)

Mitrah Turns and then wrapping her arms around Her Moirail's Torso, buries her face in the soft pink PJ's, and proceeds to sob uncontrollably.

A-al-lunas...w-w-what h-ha-ave I d-do-one?....I...th-they b-b-oth...th-they b-oth ha-have l-left me...oh g-god w-why d-do t-they a-always l-l-leave me!

[whimsicalSentenial]

Lunnus had some experience with exposure to too bright of light himself, so he made sure to keep something in his sylladex at all times to aid with such a thing. He took a quick look at the neuro-plate on his arm, and then appearified some eye drops. The eye drops would help repair most of the damage, but would leave some visible spotting on most of the eyes. He figured it wouldn't make as much of a difference to Cimera though, since you can't really see her eyes through her glasses anyways. He walked rather briskly over to the scene and held the eye drops toward here.

Here, these shoul|> help rep^ir most o|= the |>^m^ge to your eyes. |}ut you shoul|> pro|}^|}ly use them immedi^tely |}e|=ore it's too l^te, otherwise they won't work.

He probably would have been there sooner, but he was having trouble deciphering everything that was going on in the cafe. Shit was seriously hitting the fan hard, and everywhere.

[Captain Whosit]

While Ryus and the pink troll are hugging, Salom is pleased to note that Alunas has gone to Mitrah's side. Hopefully she can calm the blue-blood down.



...Um, T've been pretty good.... Sttll altve, so can't complatn. T've had a lot more wetrd stuff happen to me lately than T'd have ltked, but.... Uh, yeah.... T've ltved through tt all, somehow.... He looks at the pink troll.

Oh... T'm Salom, by the way... you are...?

[scintillatingMoniker]

Alunas just squeezes Mitrah and tries to comfort her. She doesn't really know what to say, Mitrah did do a bad thing, but she can't say that, that'd make it worse and... But she didn't mean to do it.
She didn't mean to do the bad thing, and Salom...

)yOu didnt mean tO dO it, sO theyll fOrgive yOu...(

Alunas is trying her best not to cry along with her morail. Crying would make it worse.

[Rio]

Oh-Uhm, I'm Shaula. Nice to meet you. Oh good subject change. Wait fuck it requires talking about her she doesn't want to be part of the actual topic fuuuuu
Oh, same old same old... just tending to the garden... I haven't had to go out during the day as often, which is a plus. Smoooooth.

[Temperencia]

Chi-Len felt worst, as she really shouldn't have tried on the glasses. She couldn't do anything, instead of watch a possibly new friend writhe in pain. At least the pain stopped.




..I-Is dere aneeting I cud do, Chimerah? ( ;n ; ) The zombie asked.

[Teslamagnetic Integration]

Hrm... Time for more science!


Ok, I'm gonna turn yer nerves back on, alright? But in order t' stop the flow o' pain, I'm gonna make yer body crank out endorphines to ride ya through it, alright? So things might start feelin' a little weird for ya in a moment.

With that, Zack closed his eyes again, sensing around...aha! Endorphines released. Now for the pulses to be switched back on...


Done.

[inexplicableSigns]

((I apologize for the lack of a sprite, but Laz needs to stretch his legs and also I want to keep RPing! Also FFS, she's on PC if you want to pester, or PM me or whatever I dunno :T NOW FOR SCARY MAN))

And then the scariest motherfucker I don't have a sprite for walks into the cafe, grinning maniacally.
He sits at the counter and starts tapping on it with his clawed gauntlet-bound left hand.
A faygo is delivered, which he opens carefully and takes a sip of.

[FlyingFrogSlash]

This seems to have a slightly calming effect...as the sobbing diminishes a little. b-but a-a-alunas...e-e-even if they d-d-do...I...I c-care f-f-for them b-both...H-how c-can I choose? H-how....How could I e-e-ever pick w-which one? t-they a-are b-both s-s-so...s-so important to me...a-a-and ohgodohgodohgodohgod....I h-h-urt them...oh god I hurt them!

Her sobbing is renewed in force, her body wracked with tremors.

Cimera just kind of stays there for a bit, there were now three voices. One belonged to Chi-Len, one to a male, and the other to another male, both of which she didn't know. She just kind of grabs at the air, retracting an arm from the pillow. After a few blind grabs, she finds the eyedrops with her mitten, and then brings them down to the safe shelter of her pillow.

Slowly and carefully, she tilted her glasses up a little and squeezed eyedrops into themfuckouch. She gets the eyedrops in, but not after some vigorous rubbing and attemption to keep them in. Dropping her glasses back onto her face, the eyedrops are set on the floor next to her.

Hrm... Time for more science!

## whaaaaat- ##

Asdf NERVES. Asdf ENDORPHINES. Cimera feels a tinge of pain from her head again, but that's overridden by the new sense of hyperactivity. Her skin just kind of... Crawled. It wasn't a nice feeling.

She also completely ignored zombiechick because at the moment she's pretty pissed at her for glasses-theft!

## aaaaaaghthaaaaaatddidnthelpaaaaaataaaaaallnowifeel weird- ##

She attempts to look up from the safety of her pillow. Her vision was distorted as fuck, with black spots dancing around in it. Yeah, no. She just returns her head to her pillow.

## ...fivemoreminutes. ##

[privateTenderloin]

Well it's umm... good to hear uhh... that you're both umm... alright sir and maam.

He starts to relax a bit.

I umm... don't remember uhh... you ever mentioning umm... a garden uhh... before maam.
I'd umm... like to uhh... see it umm... some time maam.

Ryus is doing his best to block out Mitrah's voice entirely. He really doesn't want to hink about it.
