Fourth wall mingle post

[wrnpcs]

[For the regular denizens of Balamb Garden, it's an ordinary day...until more off-worlders start showing up, for only a few hours at a time. Unsure what to make of these more temporary visitors, the Garden faculty is holding off on registering them as cadets or offering them jobs.

[Maybe someone you know might turn up?]

Mod note, to reiterate:

4th wall characters can only be seen at certain hours of the day. They may appear for two hours a day, or four... or seen only in the early morning... the time doesn't matter to us, but they're not permanently here. They may return to Garden again through the rest of the month, but they're not around 24/7.

Like apped characters, 4th wall characters can't be ridiculously-sized. Transformers, Gundams, and similar concepts/characters will become human-sized (and in the case of mechas, not allowed altogether.)

Players (like you and me) are not allowed to visit Garden. We're breaking the 4th wall, not destroying it altogether!

Apart from this post, 4th wall characters are free to reply to open posts in witchesreign or open logs in concoursec. Apped players have the option of closing their posts to in-game characters only.

All BBS posts are locked to in-game characters only. 4th wall characters do not have access to any sort of logged in posts unless they hijack someone else's log-in---and in those cases, we need to know this beforehand.

For those unfamiliar with the setting, here is more info on Balamb Garden's facilities and layout. Additionally, some of the NPCs around and some player characters may be wearing Balamb Garden's cadet or SeeD uniform.

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask on the OOC post or through the mod channels (wrmods or witchesreign).

[For anyone "new" to the Gardens, maybe that friendly looking troll in the nice uniform can help? Who knows. Either way she's sitting on a bench and throwing bread crumbs at a few birds.]

[meddles]

[...You must have convinced her to drink beyond her limit.

Because Vriska, she is positive you are taller. Also short hair, but that isn't as noteworthy.]

[f8tal]

[She doesn't look up right away, but she knows there's someone there. She just continues to throw stale crusts at the birds.] What is it?

[theaerothing]

[Well the horns stuck out obviously but all his running around earlier has made him realize that this Vriska is probably not his. She's way too tall for that. Either way, Vriska was a Vriska, so he hoped and he approached anyway.]

Vriska!

[f8tal]

[She looks up from her bird feeding and squints. What the fuck.]

Who the hell are you? [He seemed familiar but... Yeah no. No way.]

[theaerothing]

[Dammit, miss. John stopped in his tracks and frowned.]

Shit. You really don't know me? Not even a little bit? Maybe without the horns and grey skin. It's John.

[f8tal]

... [She narrowed her eyes at him before letting it sink in. Suddenly she stands, letting the bread fall to the ground (much to the birds' delight) and advances on him.]

John? What the hell! What happened to you?

kjskajsfha that icon

[theaerothing]

[Augh so much relief!! He knows this isn't his Vriska but dlfjgdfl he doesn't want to be here without some form of his moirail okay.]

Man, if you're asking me that our worlds must really be different. Like the Rose I talked to? It's called mako poisoning. It's kind of a thing where I'm from.

enjoy it

[f8tal]

Mako poisoning turns you into a troll? [Oh man what.]

babies

[theaerothing]

Basically. If it doesn't kill you anyway. [Sort of scratches awkwardly at his hair. Wow you are at his eye level, this is really surreal. And somehow you look younger than him? And a lot less fucking jaded than his Vriska.]

But that's why we're sabotaging the entire corporation responsible for it.

[Oh look. A troll girl! John wasn't exactly sure how he got here but maybe this girl knew his friends!]

Hi there! My name's John. You kind of look like these troll friends of mine who I'm supposed to meet up with three years from now- [There isn't even a pause for her to respond-he just keeps rambling.]

-Karkat, Terezi, and well some of them I didn't know actually and I kinda don't know how I got here either, but since you look like them maybe you know a girl troll named Vriska?

[f8tal]

... [She just stares at him for an awkward amount of time before standing up to get up in his personal bubble.

She smiles wide, deliberately showing off her fangs.] And what will you do for me if I do?

[intheclouds]

Oh geez. I hadn't even thought of that. [He returns the toothy smile, sheepishly.]

Is a thank you enough? Or a favor?
