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).

Really? Any idea what his reasons are?

[thorny]

A genuine inclination towards fowl, from what I've been able to gather. It's always a bit difficult to be absolutely certain where he's concerned.

[fierybluebird]

Well, there's something to be said for the aviary species, eh.

[thorny]

I suppose so. I can't comment fully or without bias, being more inclined to felines myself.

[fierybluebird]

Nothing wrong with cats either. So long as they're behaved enough not to bite.

[thorny]

Spray bottles work wonders for unruly behavior such as that, although I've been fortunate enough to never have to employ it myself.

[her kitties are good kitties and she's loved them all very much]

[fierybluebird]

Cats don't like water then?

I never knew that. Can't say I blame them though, eh.

[thorny]

As a rule they aren't particularly fond of it, although there are of course exceptions. I'm just a bit too fond of the water to share their sentiments, however, unless a body of water poses an immediate and distressing danger to my well-being.

[fierybluebird]

I can't swim, so I'm sure that's related to it.

[thorny]

I imagine that it might play a small part, but who can say for sure? It's just too tangential to be absolutely certain.

[fierybluebird]

[Laughs.] All right fair enough.

So why are you so fond of water? Can you swim?

[thorny]

I can indeed, although it's more of a natural outgrowth of my affinity rather than the cause of it. My home was built over a river, right on the edge of a rather stunning waterfall. The soothing sound of running water has been present throughout most of my life, leading to a natural inclination towards it.

[fierybluebird]

[Grins.] Sounds nice.

And familiar. My home's a big ship called the Moby Dick, eh. One of my nakama.

You must miss it.

[thorny]

Life in a seafaring vessel would certainly be an entertainingly unusual way to live. [she shrugs a little at the last comment]

By the time I was pulled here it wasn't the same.

[fierybluebird]

A pirate's life for me, eh.

No? Something happen? [Marco's too actually, the Moby Dick got shot to hell by meteors in the war at Marineford.]

[thorny]

[man, meteors seem to be a common theme. god damn those things get around]

You could say that. There was a great upheaval and my home proper had to be...relocated.

[fierybluebird]

[Yup... Although his was more... from a man made of magma. It's a weird series.]

Ah... sounds tricky.

[thorny]

[she can relate. the universe is made of a frog at home.]

It was a rather delicate situation for a time. Luckily the pressing danger was dealt with before paradox space felt the need to transplant me yet again.

[fierybluebird]

That's good. So when all is said and done here, what happens for you?

[thorny]

I return home and attempt to abort unmitigated catastrophe and annihilation. [and leave behind some people she's not sure she wants to]

[fierybluebird]

You think you can?

[thorny]

There's no other option available to me.

[fierybluebird]

I wish you luck then. Trying to get and edge on it while you're here?

[thorny]

That's correct. There were previously some friends of mine pulled in here from further along the timeline; I'll use the information they presented me with to obtain a more favorable outcome for everyone.

[fierybluebird]

Sounds like a good plan. Use all available resources, eh.
