Match 1 [Arrival]

[ Action for 1249 Williams Road. ]

[ Niou likes sleeping in, and waking him up before he's ready will make him grouchy and grumpy, and you'll probably regret doing it. Unfortunately for him and everyone around him, he isn't able to sleep in this morning, because there's sunlight seeping through his windows.

This is his first clue that something's not quite right. His room his black curtains so that the sunlight can't get through.

He sits up and blinks. And then does it again for good measure. After the initial "these aren't my clothes", "this isn't my room", and "where the fuck am I?"s, he decides he's going to play this totally cool. Yeah, he totally wakes up in strange places every day, and being in the 50's is totally cool with him. No biggie.

So he goes to explore the rest of this house that isn't fucking his. ]



[ Phone: ]

Holy fuck, it's been so long since I last watched Grease that I forgot how people dressed back then. I seriously need t'get my hands on a leather jacket. I'll go all John Travolta on your asses. Slicked back hair and everything. [ A short pause. ] Fuck. I don't suppose there's any place around here where I can get hair bleach, is there?

[ Niou's just going to stare. He's going to stare until he knows he won't sound freaked out when he speaks, and until he's able to carefully arrange his expression into a very, very blank poker face.

Now he's got this whole it's cool, I encounter talking not-cars all the time thing going on. ]


Guess the definition of car has seriously changed since I last checked.
electrowhipit: (HOLO | now that's just dumb)

That car's a disguise. I'll show you what I really look like if you promise not to freak out.

[ Still with the poker face. He realizes he's still sitting and stands, brushing himself off. ]

Me? Freak out? Never.
electrowhipit: (HOLO | so... the cake is not a lie?)

[personal profile] electrowhipit 2011-07-10 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
You freaked out pretty good when I started talking to you.

[identity profile] mathisradical.livejournal.com 2011-07-10 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
That? Oh, no, that wasn't freaking out. That was just a huge mild reaction to an expected abnormal situation. Now what were you saying about showing me what you really look like? You make it sound like you're a freakin' alien or some shit.

[ The holo rolls its eyes and vanishes ] Don't say I didn't warn you.

[ The car unfolds- plating slides, joints lock into place, and blue sparks fly from too-long fingers, until standing there at his full 25-foot height is a big, blue robot. ]

[identity profile] mathisradical.livejournal.com 2011-07-10 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ Niou very nearly sits down again, because holy shit.

He stands and stares for a very long time, his eyes slightly wide, until he thinks he can speak without sounding totally freaked out. Which, y'know, he kind of is. When he does finally speak, he sounds a bit breathless. ]


So not an alien. A robot.

[ Jolt crouches, mostly so the kid doesn't have to keep craning his neck ]

Alien robot, thank you very much.

[identity profile] mathisradical.livejournal.com 2011-07-10 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ Niou's neck is very grateful. ]

Like that makes it any better. Why is there a fuckin' robot -Oh, excuse me, alien robot- in the driveway of this house that I mysteriously woke up in?

[ Jolt waves an arm at their surroundings ] Welcome to Mayfield.

This is like one of those really bad B-rated films. Where do the giant millipedes and building-sized spiders come in?

[personal profile] electrowhipit 2011-07-11 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
None of those yet, but there was a giant robot- of the killer, non-alien variety- rampaging through the town a few months ago.

[ He runs a hand through his hair. If you look closely, you can tell that he's frustrated, and not just bored like he looks. ]

Guess Marui was right about this place being bat-shit, then. Any other surprises in this place that I should know about? [ He gestures at the house behind him. ]

[personal profile] electrowhipit 2011-07-11 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh, well. I guess I'm your "dad".

[identity profile] mathisradical.livejournal.com 2011-07-11 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Cue more staring. He honestly isn't sure whether to laugh about having a robot-alien as a "dad", or freak out because what was his life, holy shit. ]

I hope you don't expect me to call you "Dad". I don't even call my real dad "Dad".
electrowhipit: (Default)

[personal profile] electrowhipit 2011-07-11 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Frag no. I'm not old enough to be anybody's dad, anyway. The town just sticks us in families and expects us to be happy about it.

I'm Jolt.

Niou Masaharu.

Does this mean that I have like, brothers and sisters and a mother, too?
electrowhipit: (Default)

[personal profile] electrowhipit 2011-07-11 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. There's usually four to a family. Sometimes they're drones, and sometimes they're prisoners like you and me.

[identity profile] mathisradical.livejournal.com 2011-07-14 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
Alright. What about... [ An unsure pause. ] our family?
