1st kick: video/action

[kickingcatcher]

[Crys sat in the living room of House 11, listening to the rain tap against the windows. She opened her journal, curious but hesitant. After a pause, she speaks.]

So um... I have to ask. Is stuff like what happened with all the world-visiting normal for this place? It seems pretty unbelievable. I didn't just dream the whole thing, did I...

[She stays quiet for a moment or two and then opens her mouth to talk again.] If that's normal, then I hate to see what unusual is.

[Crys goes to close the journal, but opens it back up and smiles a little.] By the way, my name's Crys. Sorry for the late introduction.

[And then she closes her journal, but opens is back up, locking a message to Hiccup.] Um... are you doing okay after the whole thing? I think something like... that must have been kinda hard, and I hope you're not too hurt or anything. If you want to talk, I'd be willing to come over, too.

I'm not sure anything can be called normal here. But as far as I know, that's the first I've heard of that.

[kickingcatcher]

So no one's ever visited a world because of this place, then. And nothing's normal.

[She sighs.] Why do I feel like this place is going to freak me out everyday?

[avaricious]

Possibly because you're just easily freaked out. You should try relaxing.

[He would have dragged you off to go train if he had thought of it, Crys. As it is, he enters the living room, silent for a bit.]

Hey.

[Action]

[kickingcatcher]

[She looks up from her journal, giving him a smile.]

Hi, Green. What's up?

[Action]

[cooltrainer]

[Green just nodded, as if that were answer enough. He leaned against the arm of the couch instead of sitting down.]

You?

[wise_maiden]

Experiments in themselves are what's to be expected here, and looking at it from the point of view of it being the result of an experiment, it actually wasn't even the most unusual we've experienced.

... although I doubt that anything like that will happen again for quite a long time. The world-visiting aspect, that is.

[Voice]

[kickingcatcher]

There's been more unusual events than that?

[She sighs.] After that, I hope it doesn't happen for a while.

[Voice]

[wise_maiden]

Shifts are a very common occurrence, yes. They're less frequent now than they were... but it tends to be harder on people newer to the experience.

[memoryboxes]

Oh, I believe the world-visiting part is very strange, though the shifts are very much a usual occurrence!

One shift, I distinctly remember being a... crab, was it? Yes, a crab!

[video]

[kickingcatcher]

Yes, I've been told that.

[..........wat.] You... turned into a crab?

[video]

[memoryboxes]

Mhmm! I remember Sanji-san picked me up off the ground! I was almost stepped on a few times, but thankfully he was nearby and heard me.

I don't remember why I was a crab, though. I just assume it's a shift, since that's very unusual for me...

[Gold comes out into the living room just as Crys starts her post, chiming in once she's finished.]

Normal? This place? Not a chance in hell! Typical, on the other hand...

[Action]

[kickingcatcher]

[Thanks for that, Gold. :|]

So it happens often, huh? Great.

[Action]

[mischiefbreeder]

Way too often, if you ask me.

[risingwinds]

Well, weird stuff does happen here a lot, but that was the first time they've ever offered to let people go home.

[A beat, and he scratches his head.]

...Er. I think so, anyway. Maybe somebody who's been here longer would know for sure.

[kickingcatcher]

Mn, people have said it happens, but how much? Is it spontaneous, or is there a certain time something happens?

video

[risingwinds]

About every month or two something happens. Sometimes it's an experiment, sometimes it's a draft, but they do like to throw a lotta stuff at us.

[Granted, there's always some downtime between then, but she's not really asking about that.]

[tsuntrader]

There's no such thing as normal here. [Nooo such thing.]

[kickingcatcher]

Yeah, Gold said the same thing.

[tsuntrader]

Better get used to it.

[Video]

[hark_a_suicune]

I suppose it does have the merit of being somewhat entertaining, at least.

[You have to be positive, Crys! See the good side of things!
Also boring is bad.]

[Video]

[kickingcatcher]

It was... weird. That's putting it best.

[dragoneer]

...Hey. [It's been...weird, to think about. But not bad, really.] Yeah, I'm fine. Kind of missing having both feet, though.

[Heh.]

How about you?

voice;

[kickingcatcher]

[Aw shit, now she feels bad.] I'm sorry...

Um, I'm doing all right. Just... [Cheated? Lied to? Like a huge something is missing?] ... weird. [Best way to put it.]
