[ Octavia is, as usual, sitting on her huge-ass pile of treasure. She's also sporting fangs and a pair of glasses with one lens blacked out like an eyepatch, thanks to her losing an eye during CRAB BATTLE. Arr, mateys. ]

First person to make jokes about my depth perception, call me cyclops or otherwise mock my heroic war wound gets mind controlled into licking the floor of the nearest public bathroom, just eff why eye. I am talking business! So I am cutting that shit off before it starts.

[ SO THERE. ]

So. The unpronounceable German place is oooooooobviously going to come with its own hugeass pink bad guy. A duck or whatever, I guess. And we are going to spend forever twiddling our collective thumbs until it pops out one day and surprises us like some kind of asshole! Right?

WRONG.

[ And she slides dramatically down the treasure pile. But leaves her laptop behind and has to fly back up and grab it. NOBODY SAW THAT OKAY ]

I recently got back memories of being really super great at finding enormous bad guys with very little to go on. The best at it! So tomorrow I am heading for Germany to go find the giant goose monster and kick the shit out of it. And then I will spend the evening being fucking awesome. Anybody whose age ends in -teen should totally join me! Because. Like I said. Awesome. It'll be like a camping party, only way less lame.

[ There's a tiny thoughtful pause before she adds: ]

Say, did you know the legal drinking age in Germany is just sixteen?

[He's actually going to keep from commenting on that, for once. Because she has mind controlled him before and he's not taking any chances. So he'll focus on the more important things. Yes.]

Aren't you ewer the glory hound? But you're right, likely there will be some other Godzilla monster crashin' around Castle Neuschwanstein before too long.

[He wants to go, even though the idea is kind of frightening and he's sort of a huge coward, but he has his reasons...]

Good luck, I guess. At not dyin', or losin' anything else a walue when you go to play hero.

[drama8om8]

You're not going?

[ The blankest of looks. WOW. WOWOW. ]

So you are a wimpy wussy wimpmaster after all? After all of your protests and fussing? Man. And here I thought you at least had a sense of adventure!

[mood2wiingiing]

does saying that you look like the shittiest pirate ever count as mocking your "heroic war wound"?

[drama8om8]

Yes. Yes it does.
Good thing you would never 8e so 8l8tantly insensitive as to do something like that, right????????
Especially since the memory I mentioned involved you wearing TWO eyepatches. Now THAT is some shitty pir8ting! Wow. >::::P

[He's dubious of Tavia's ability to actually track anything down, but...]

I guess it can't hurt to scope it out--we're only helping, right?

Besides, I've never been to Europe before!

[video]

[drama8om8]

Of course we are only helping. It's what we do! And if we poke and snoop and pry at things and find the flamingo monster as soon as possible, we will be saving those poor sweet innocent townspeople hells of trouble.

And by purchasing their alcoholic beverages, we will be improving their economy.

[onecream_fivesugar]

Woah... Wait a second Tavia, you never told me you were pirate!

You've got a huge pile of treasure and an eye-patch glasses and you never told me!?

I'm hurt but that's so cool!

video;

[drama8om8]

I've had the treasure foreeeeeeeever. Like a year! So it is super old news.

The uh. Eye thing is new. But I am rocking it because I am accepting the scarred mess under these glasses as a part of my incredibly badass image! Like I assume you are doing with your hair. Plus one badass point.

[abhero]

you should've started with the drinking age

[drama8om8]

If I w8 until the end, it filters out any undesira8les who don't actually give a fuck a8out all the things I have to say. Duh!
This is 8asic stuff. Rule #1 of partying in Europe after finding and then taking down a giant pink 8ird. God!

[waltharius]

You might be dreaming a little too big, Tavia.

But... I'd be interested in coming along. Just to check things out. [ ... ] We can't let Vegas happen again, though.

[drama8om8]

There's no such thing as dreaming too big, Wally. God. And relax! Alan and me can't get married again.

Without it being bigamy or whatever.

 

We'll just. Not buy ring-pops this time. I mean Germany probably doesn't have them anyway.

[wonk]

i am so here for this u dont even kno

[drama8om8]

Yessssssss.
It has 8een way too long since we had time to party for realsies! So I figure we are WAY overdue.
I mean we are in danger of people forgetting that we are the a8solute party queens of this entire shitshow! Which is TERRI8LE.

[chalicejoker]

[Have a facepalming giant bug.]

Oh, sure, a bunch of unaccompanied teenagers running around Germany is going to fix everything.

[A giant sarcastic bug with the mindset of a cranky old man, no less.]

[Video]

[drama8om8]

[ The most deadpan of stares. ]

Dude, what do you know. You're a cockroach.

[charcoalfeather]

[Rakka looks... contemplative.]

I've never been to Europe before... It's probably really nice there.

[Of course, there's that last part.]

It... is?

[Video]

[drama8om8]

Man! I can't believe there are people who never went to Europe before. I have been to France! And Spain. And Italy! But not Germany. So I guess that will be new for both of us!

And, uh. Yeah. Apparently it doesn't apply to certain types of booze, or something? But whatever! I am an almost-eighteen year old with mind control powers, which means I get to bend the rules all I want.

[Video]

[boxingbuff]

...Well, I guess the good thing about this is it's not my business if you all end up destroying some german town somewhere.

[Video]

[drama8om8]

That's the spirit! Old people who know when it is inappropriate to stick their noses in are the best old people. Plus eight awesomeness points for you, guy.

[Lily considers, for a moment, to ask about the eye, but thinks better of it before continuing.]

I've got to agree, we need to focus in on this as hard as we can. But... given what's happened the last two times, shouldn't we try to find a way to prevent it from waking up?

video;

[drama8om8]

Oh, sure. We'll feed it like eight buck-- eight barrels of nyquil. That'll work for sure.

[ She rolls her eyes. Eye. Whatever. ]

It's okay for you guys! You'll all die someday. And after you're dead, you won't have to fuss about whether or not the monster will wake up! Whereas immortal people like me will be stuck watching over that shit for the rest of eternity to make sure it stays asleep.

[dragon_blossom]

Sixteen huh?

[ No she doesn't latch onto the eyepatch, onto the possibility of a giant duckmonster, onto Tavia's promise that they can go looking for it with her newly echoed skills. No, Marina immediately focuses on the promises of getting plastered. ]

...this might be fun.

voice

[drama8om8]

Might be fun? Are you doubting my ability to adventure and-slash-or party?

I will revolutionise your idea of what fun actually is.

[Behind Liam is what looks like an obvious hotel room, with the open window indicating the tall and bright Las Vegas buildings.]

Wow, those are some shinies you have there.

[He frowns as he looks at her face and eyepatch.]

It sucks about your eye, though. Hope it doesn't hurt anymore?
