Video/Potentional Action. Abandoned amusement parks are dope.

[Some of you might get worried calls from Linda, Laura's tormented case worker.

The general questioning is: "HAVE YOU SEEN LAURA I HAVEN'T FOUND HER IN HOURS I'VE LOOKED EVERYWHERE."

But then, a Laura entry pops up sometime later in the day:

Her, looking curious, with the telltale signs of vegetation outside of city limits behind her.

She points the camera at the setting of the abandoned amusement park, some disappointment soon to be prevalent in her tone; she'd sneaked out and headed off to the Abandoned City or whatever people call it, mostly to get away from society and sort of marinate in her own thoughts. It's one of those months. Or many of those months. As much as she's tried adapting and appreciates her freedom, sometimes you just need to step away from it all and have your own time.

... In places Linda tells you not to ever sneak off to, of course.

Sue her, she never listens to her authority figures. She's not scared of monsters, anyway; she's already killed two getting here. It's why she's got some tar-colored blood on her sleeves and knuckles.]


We should repair this. I don't know what it is, but it looks like -- a fun place. Some of these have... strange wheels... and cars on railroads. ¿Para qué sirve? Do people who move trains practice here?

[She wanders around, her footfalls echoing in the isolated place. There's a rotted up old booth where you 'shoot' guns for prizes, but the signs are pretty overgrown with vines. She picks up a fake rifle and aims it at the blank target board beyond her, smacking on some bubblegum thoughtfully.]

Is it a place for soldiers to practice, too? It is very colorful for a soldier, but we had some color, too. They liked to put cartoons on the walls. Maybe there are cartoons on walls here, too... Maybe there are lights that make it bright. Like Vegas.

[..... Aha.

She points the camera up, up, up, toward the highest point of the ferris wheel.]


I think you see everything if you climb to the top.

[... I'mma climb to the top.]

[Feel free to have any ACTION threads as well; she's just wandering around, really, enjoying the quiet.]

[ SIGH. CHILD, YOU DRIVE HIM CRAZY. ]

Laura, why aren't you in school?

[ As well as, ya know, the quarantine. ]

[ He rubs his forehead, feeling a headache coming on. ]

And so you decided to sneak out of the Quarantine.

[ After what he's seen her do, he can't exactly say he's worried about her not being able to take care of herself. ]

Do you realize how much you make your case worker worry about you?

[ And Stephen but shhh. We're not talking about that. ]

[Jesus. Leave the kid alone.]

Adding goddam 'fun police' to your resume, Dr Wizard Guy?

[Frank is, of course, all about staying outside the Perimeter. One could say he's looking for trouble. He probably is. ]

Need help? [See, Dr Strange? BETTER DAD is here.]
potentialed: pls dnt (Default)

i love it lmao

[personal profile] potentialed 2017-11-16 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Omg get out "better dad". More like "bad behavior enabler". ]

Only if I can add "potty mouth" to yours, Frank.

[ This fuckin guy. ]
scoutsniper: dobe (the beater)

[personal profile] scoutsniper 2017-11-16 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
So you're who she got it from.

[Because Laura had made a comment about his colorful vocabulary. Actually, it was mostly one color.]

You don't have actual kids, do you?
potentialed: pls dnt (Default)

[personal profile] potentialed 2017-11-16 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
What is that suppose to mean?

[ He just calls it like he sees it, brah. ]

And why do you keep asking me that?
potentialed: pls dnt (Default)

[personal profile] potentialed 2017-11-16 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Because he's trying to make you guilty for how you treat your caseworker, u little shit! ]

Whether you like it or not, you're still a child. That's why you need one. Asking for one isn't even a factor.

[personal profile] scoutsniper 2017-11-16 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
You're getting her to pick on my language. Goddammit.

[He cannot possibly imagine why.]

Because if you had kids, you wouldn't be such an uptight asshole about them.

[He likes trouble, what can he say?. ].

You sure that's stable enough to climb?

[personal profile] potentialed 2017-11-16 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Okay, at that he sighs. That... makes a lot of actions seem less inconsiderate, at least. But he is ever persistent. ]

That won't happen here, Laura. There are a lot of people here that help protect others.

And no, maybe not. But that's what you are to me, okay? For all those other things you might be, you're a little girl to me. You're Laura, first and foremost.

[personal profile] potentialed 2017-11-16 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Good. Someone should.

[ 凸( •̀_•́ )凸 ]

I am not an "uptight asshole". I just want her to do better when I know she's capable of it.

[ His voice is a little softer, ]

It's true. Many things are possible. But that doesn't mean they will happen.

It's also safer in here than it is out where you are.

[ Hey teenage girl covered in...blood? Here's a mildly concerned somewhat older teenage boy, with raised eyebrows, but first: ]

I think that might be an amusement part. You know - roller coaster, ferris wheels, cotton candy? That kind of thing.

Takes a lot of people to run.

[ Well, since X’rhun is a part of Search & Rescue, he takes it upon himself to search for her once she pops up on the network. As for the rescuing, well… that will depend on what he finds.

Hello Laura. Hard to miss the flamboyantly-dressed cat man toting a sword heading her way. ]


My dear, how is it you managed to get yourself all the way out here?
scoutsniper: idec (what the hell)

Re: [Action]

[personal profile] scoutsniper 2017-11-18 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
You can handle it? Yeah?

[Throwing oneself bodily into something that could get you killed without any sort of exit strategy or safety net is his job.]

Could always see if we could actually get it working, first.

Why? The world gonna fall apart over a few 'fucks'? Ever had to surgically remove a 'goddam' from someone or something?

[Priorities, Doc. Priorities.]

How 'bout she's been through shit, so let her be a kid for a bit first? There's time enough for toeing the line.
