Tenth File. [ backdated to monsterfield! ]

[clarities]

[ After the pod people, the blob, growing unexpectedly, what was next that Mayfield had in store for them?

Monsters.

Monsters.

Well, this ought to be fun. ]

[ Action: Mayfield High. ]

[ Those of you who see her, she may be a little bit off from the person she's been lately. But, it must be because she's so busy, right? After all, she has the concert on top of her projects with her alchemy lessons on the side. Surely she must be okay, right? Well, don't expect her to be too conversational around you if you don't know her too well. ]

[ Action: On the Way Home ]

[ Oh, no! It looks like one of the monsters, specifically a crab has Diana tight in its' pincers! But, wait - was it stopped from its' raging stampede? Well, upon a closer look, Diana has one hand on her hip and her other hand is busy pointing accusingly at the robot. She is not in the mood for these kind of shenanigans! ]

You must have some form of intelligent life in you, so I'll ask you to politely put me back down on my feet. I've no use to you at all. To you, I probably taste bad and you'd get tired of me quickly.

So, put me down. Now.

[ The crab stares at Diana. It doesn't know what to do. Why was a fleshy human bag thing talking to it? SIMPLE CRAB is confused! SIMPLE CRAB hurt itself in its' confusion! What will TRAINER DIANA do?

TRAINER DIANA used PERSUASION! It's super effective! Soon, Simple Crab gently puts Diana down on her feet. ]

Good boy. Now, can you sit for me?

[ Simple Crab sat down like a good crab! It looks like it wants to be scratched! ]

Well... only because you've been a good boy. Don't get any ideas, yeah?

[ Diana approaches the crab and gives it a little scritch on the top of its' head. She seems to be smiling just a bit, too. At least there was something sort of familiar to her in Mayfield.

You may now be promptly weirded out at this. ]

If I may ask, how long have you been here? You seem remarkably well-adjusted.

[... Simple Crab are you still here

Simple Crab y u do]

I'll be at my two month mark come the sixth of November.

[ Simple Crab does not understand your silly politics.

Simple Crab just wants scritches and headpats and to be adorable.

He is accomplishing one third of those. ]

[AWWW DIANA SUCH A BABBU]

I am at nearly sixteen months, myself. No wonder you are far less quick to see this current situation as a step down from Mayfield's usual fare.

[SIMPLE CRAB STOP THAT

HE MAY HAVE TO GIVE YOU UNWILLING HEADPATS IF YOU DON'T

OH WELL GOD DAMN HE'S GONE AND DONE IT I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY]

[notalwystrthful.livejournal.com]

[ AND SHE SHRUGS SO CASUALLY. See how cool she is? ]

Actually, I've been briefed on what has gone on so far as far as Mayfield's usual is concerned. I just choose to not be overwhelmed with the surroundings, see who else is in the same situation as I and keep on moving. I plan on not giving in to this town.

[ SIMPLE CRAB IS HAPPY. IT IS VERY HAPPY. IT GIVES YOU A HUG with its' pincers.

don't ask how it works. IT JUST DOES. ]

[... no Simple Crab stop that that is quite enough no

he does not do hugs no

Then you are quite a bit smarter than most people who find themselves here and I must admit to being impressed. I would caution against trying to counter-experiment, however. I... attempted that once. It did not go well.

Could you call off your pet, please?

[notalwystrthful.livejournal.com]

[ But, he wants to hug you! :( Don't you want to hug him? ]

Why thank you, and what exactly were your results if I do decide to try that tactic around here?

[...] Yes.

[ STARES at Simple Crab.

Simple Crab stares back and places its' pincer down. It's a good boy, really. ]
