2 ~ [VIDEO;;in which a carpet does calligraphy]

[brbflying]

[See Carpet! He waves to the camera, then ducks out of view to pick up a banner]

[he displays it to the camera, where he has carefully, painstakingly written:]

أجرباه‎

[for those of you who are lucky enough to have a Guide that can translate this sign, or those of you who can read Arabic, it says AGRABAH

((OOC: is it okay if Lansa just...finds Carpet? He still has no idea how to use his guide, but a flying carpet would blow his mind!

[brbflying]

[Yeah, no problem! He's probably in a really public place anyway, so he shouldn't be too hard to find]

[action]

[Lansa is strolling along, taking stock of his surroundings, the Guide buzzing lightly in his pocket for the time being, a rectangle of light showing through the seat of his pants.

So far, the place is kind of dull, all grey metal. Kind of like--

--whoa

whoa.

Damn, is that carpet...floating? goddamn!

He's gotta touch it! Immediately, he runs over, grabbing it hard like an excited kid, trying to see what's under it, holding it up. He knows magic is possible and all that crap, but it's still awesome as hell!]

[ah-]

[being grabbed, well, grabs his attention, so he bends in to peer at Lansa's face lol what u doin]

[and then]

[tugs on Lansa's hair]

Re: [action]

[whoa! it's not just a floating carpet it's a moving carpet!

Lansa squints back at the carpet's....well, pattern, and then pulls on it a little, a little skeptikal]

Are you a monster? I can't let you eat anyone, you know.

[He has to keep the citizens on this ship safe!]

Re: [action]

[brbflying]

[he's a little dizzy from being pulled on, but he immediately shakes it off at the idea of him being a monster or eating people]

[he brings his (nonexistent) hands to his (nonexistent) hips and glares- what sort of carpet do you think he is, really?]

Re: [action]

[adangerousplace]

[well that's as good an answer as any!]

Sorry, sorry man, I didn't mean any trouble you know, It's just where I come from there are fucking monsters everywhere, I mean--

[as he's talking he sets Carpet down, crouching next to him instead. More polite that way, since he's not a monster and appears to actually be pretty smart]

I saw this guy just get fucking eaten alive by a portrait, a portrait right, and then like as he's fucking kicking and screaming and bleeding everywhere and shit and his guts are just going everywhere, right? and then this book comes along and tears one of his legs off and then he just starts WAILING oh man you shoulda heard it!

[It's kind of a habit of his, segueing into these "interesting" stories.]

Re: [action]

[brbflying]

[he nods understandingly, because basically that's pretty much how Agrabah would be if anyone could afford portraits]

[...though he does look appropriately shocked by the end of the story, because this is very graphic! someone should have done something!]
