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).

Oh dear. Time Compression. [SIGHS] Where to begin...

Not so long ago, Marco and I, along with someone else, traveled the seas of time and ended up in your world. Suffice to say, Marco was ecstatic that he could see his loved ones again. He also had the chance to introduce me to you, or another version of you, since you seem to not recall your own son's love interest.

Also, you're quite short, in comparison to last time I saw you.

[She claps her hands together.] SO! I'm quite familiar with you, which is appropriate since Marco and I are to be married in the spring.

Any questions?

[papa_beard]

--wait, Marco's here? [You pretty much had his attention when you mentioned him. He scoffs a bit.]

Hell, I'm shorter than I remember.

[...........................................................whoa what married since when wtf.]

You're... getting married to Marco?

[redcinemareel]

I thought I had that fact established?

[Wow, Pops, please keep up with Grell.]

...yes.

[papa_beard]

... miss. [He knees down to face her better.] I'm glad to hear he's getting married. Could you please take me to him?

[Dude's got stuff to say, yo.]

hopefully CC will be around...when her laptop is not wet.

[redcinemareel]

[She blinks at how...polite he's being.]

I'm Grell, sir, and I'd be delighted to.

[Pretty sure Marco is around here somewhere...]

whoa say what.

[papa_beard]

Thanks, Grell. [When it comes to his son's fiance, and person who's helping him out, he's willing to be polite.

Aaaaaand he's still trying to wrap his head around the "getting married" part.]

How's that kid been, anyway?

YEP. :|

[redcinemareel]

[A lof of his friends seems pretty shocked he was getting married. It's weird.]

The usual. Odd. Over-protective. Flighty. And amazing. [Grell looks pretty dreamy eyed at the last part.]

should.............I ask.

[papa_beard]

[Because it's MARCO, Marco does not get married.

And he is. Very unsure about what to do when she goes all... gaga. But, he smiles nonetheless. She loves him, she's marrying him, Newgate better get used to it.]

He is a pretty great one, isn't he? Guess he sure knows how to pick 'em. [yes, daddy just complimented you.]

It involves drinks being spilled. Again. :|

[redcinemareel]

[WELP Now he does.]

Well, of course he does! [ADJUSTS GLASSES] He chose me, after all~.

So I have heard. And... will not ask.

[papa_beard]

[Stiiiiiill pretty damn hard to grasp that.]

GURARARA! I like a girl with confidence. Glad to have you as a daughter.

Good idea. >.>

[redcinemareel]

Before I forget. [Grell lifted up her hair to show off the small, red tattoo she got of the Whitebeard symbol on her neck.]

Yeaaaaah

[papa_beard]

[His eyes widen a bit, but then his smile becomes kind and tender. He kneels down to pet her head with a finger.]

That really makes me happy, Grell.

1/2 because AAAAHHH Pops ;;

[redcinemareel]

[Grell blinks at him when he kneels down again, and then the affectionate petting...

Never having a father figure in her life, or AFTERLIFE makes this moment quite precious for her.]

[redcinemareel]

[WHAT ARE THESE EMOTIONS?!]

I'm...glad...

AWWW GRELL, SO ADORABS.

[papa_beard]

[Fuck yeah, daddy gets a cute daughter, he is way more than cool with this. SO YOU KNOW WHAT.

Daddy is going to smile and hug her. HATAHS TO DA LEFT, BITCHES. Remind me not to RP when I got meds like. An hour ago.

CANNOT....HANDLE...

[redcinemareel]

[He's hugging her.

Her soon to be father is hugging her.

He's very big. How does one reciprocate with such a small stature?!

Well, Grell gives it her best to return it. It..feels really nice. Should it feel nice? The only people she hugged in such a fashion was Marco. But it felt similar. Still warm and fuzzy, protective, and sincere.

Hmm...she approved.]

All dat moe.

[papa_beard]

[Also he is going to do what he would do for any of his kids, and pick the up.

Yes, this ten foot tall daddy is now holding you.]

I sure have a cute daughter now.

I know .////.

[redcinemareel]

[FLAILS!]

H-Hey! What are you--

[She latches onto his head as she rises. Grell isn't afraid of heights, but she usually gets high up on her own.]

Grell, you will have fun with dad and LIKE IT. >:3

[papa_beard]

GURARARARA! [He holds her close with his, supporting her legs with his other arm.]

Sorry to surprise you like that!

YES, SIR! :O

[redcinemareel]

You could have given a bit of warning! [You darn pirates and your surprises!]

Since you're going to be family soon, I can simply take you to him instantly. [It may be draining on her, since he's so big.]

Good girl. :>

[papa_beard]

Oi, I said sorry.

[He widens his eyes a bit, looking expectant.] Could you really...?

[redcinemareel]

When was the last time you picked up a lady? [Oh, she's teasing now, but can he tell?]

I could, but you have to behave! [GRINS]

[papa_beard]

... let me tell you, the last time I did, it was my daughter. [I say Haruta is a girl.]

All right, all right. [Sets her down. :|]

[redcinemareel]

....oh.

NO, NO, I'M FINE HERE! [Weirdo pirates! She flails her legs, not wanting to get down. And then POOF! She transfers them to wherever Marco is.

But now Grell's pretty dizzy.]

Bloody Fates...

[papa_beard]

--eh? [Except then they teleported? He would normally focus on that, but poor Grell got all dizzy.]

Grell? [He'll just keeping holding you.] What's wrong?
