001 ♣ [video | action]

[cloversong]

[A rather lovely woman in an even lovelier white dress appears to just be... sitting there on the ground. Her back is to the screen, head bowed and long curly black hair shifting slightly against her back. A broken object that appears to be a microphone rests beside her.]

Why...

[Her voice is quiet but audible. She lifts her hand to her chest.]

[always_on_duty]

Isn't everyone?

[cloversong]

[That gets a tiny chuckle from her.] Yes, that's a good point. There's no doubting that I am is there...

[always_on_duty]

You look pretty alive to me!

...Hey, you shouldn't just be sitting around outside! Can I show you indoors?

[cloversong]

Well I guess that settles it then.

Hm? [... Oh. Now she finally gets a look around.] ... Yes, please. I... have no idea where I am. Or where this is.

[always_on_duty]

It's called Discedo! It's on some alternate version of Earth, I think. There's either two moons or someone is pulling a very clever illusion.

There should be a sign somewhere.

[cloversong]

... Doesn't that sound a little far-fetched? Like a bad science fiction movie. [She thinks you're messing with her.]

Hm... I'm not sure, but I do see a school?

[always_on_duty]

You should have seen the time-stealing double alien that was here before.

Oh, good! What kind?

[cloversong]

I see. [Okay now you are definitely messing with her.]

I'm not sure. A high school would be my first guess.

[always_on_duty]

Oh, I'm right near there! Be there in a minute.

[commentlog y/n]

[cloversong]

All right, I'll be waiting.

[Yes plz! :D]

[always_on_duty]

[Gadget is there soon enough, waving with his left hand because his right arm is still a bit stiff.]

Hey there!

[cloversong]

[Oruha attempts to look presentable to him but her white dress is dirtied now and she is holding the broken microphone in her hands. She smiles sweetly.]

Hello! Thank you for coming to find me. I take it this place isn't safe for a poor helpless girl like me alone.

[always_on_duty]

[He doesn't seem to mind, and holds out his left hand toward hers.]

No thanks necessary, just doing my duty.

Those giant porcupines aren't around anymore, but people say there are other monsters around. I haven't seen any.

[cloversong]

[She takes his proffered hand with another beaming smile.] Well that's lucky for me on both accounts.

My name is Oruha. And you are?

[always_on_duty]

[Instead of shaking it, he bows his head and attempts to kiss it. Oruha is welcome to take her hand away at the last second, though -- that's what usually happens when he tries to kiss a lady's hand.]

Inspector Gadget, at your service!

[cloversong]

[Well he's in for a surprise because she doesn't move her hand away at all. She just laughs lightly.]

Ooh, an inspector, huh? That sounds like a dangerous job.
