Seventh Quip | Action

[what_fourthwall]

[If one were to look towards the Water Tower this fine evening, one might notice a painted blob dropping off two small figures at the base thereof.
It's been a long few days for Dot and Ichigo...

You can try talking to them, but they're not likely to answer very readily]

*Ichigo, for her part, is hovering nervously around Dot's shoulder, looking around...*

...Um... D-Dot...? Wh...Where are your brothers...?

[what_fourthwall]

[Dot's looking up at the ladder, wondering if she can really climb it this time, but at Ichigo's question, she blinks and shakes her head]

Your guess as good as mine...

[gbyefourthwall]

[As if he was summoned, Wakko opens the door-hatch thing to the Water Tower. He quickly notices Dot at the bottom of said Water Tower.]

You're early!

[what_fourthwall]

[Oh hey, guess she still had some energy after all, zooming up the ladder to tackle Wakko and cling HARD]

[Voice]

[hellofourthwall]

[Directly after this..

--ot, can you hear me? Dot?

[Irked muttering]

The reception on this thing is ridiculous - who's the provider, AT&T?

[Voice]

[what_fourthwall]

WHERE ARE YOU!?

[Is that a note of hysteria in her voice?

No, it's an entire orchestra]

[Voice]

[hellofourthwall]

On the ground. Would you believe I've been flown all over this place and I haven't once gotten a single bag of peanuts?

[Voice]

[what_fourthwall]

On the ground where?!

[This is Dot not getting any calmer]

[lady_of_paint]

[PL is hanging about the base of the Water Tower, keeping her distance but watching how they're doing. ..And maybe she's wasting time before going back to the forest.]

[strawberry_roll]

...Um...

*Tugging on her skirt, Ichigo stareeees up at her.*

E-excuse me, but, um... ...c-could you... go find Yakko, please...? H-he's lost, and... Dot needs him.

[lady_of_paint]

[Pl kneels down so she can speak to Ichigo more easily.]

He's missing? Does anyone know where he might be..?

[strawberry_roll]

Um... O-on the ground somewhere. He was visiting the, um... 'Decepticons'...? And they kicked him out, and dropped him off somewhere, an' now he's lost and not here and he should be--

*She stops herself, taking sharp breaths to try and calm down.*

[Action]

[theytookmypants]

Up to mischief again already? Man I miss all the fun. Heheh.

[Crmsn laughs and takes a firm grip of Yakko's hand. With a wink and a smile, they start to sink again. It's a bit faster this time however as the shadows rise up and wrap around them, and seem to just...swallow them up. He could go for the theatrics like usual, but Yakko seemed genuinely in a hurry, so he took care of that. There was still the pull and the stretch, and the void of the shadow's and the what-have-you's slithering about in the stretching darkness, but it generally felt much faster this time, still just as jarring though. Soon enough their both rising up in the Water-tower. He lets go of Yakkos hand and sways a bit. That really did take a lot out of him.]

Oof...head-rush.

[Action] icon is only semi-appropriate

[what_fourthwall]

[Before Yakko can really SAY anything, Dot barrels into him.
If he listens he might hear ONE dry sob, before she goes quiet and just clings]

[Action] More appropriate icon

[gbyefourthwall]

[And Wakko follows suit, though not saying anything.]

[Action]

[hellofourthwall]

[Already unsteady from not being used to trips through space time that aren't his own physics and being swarmed by traumatized siblings does not do much to help that. Still, after a 'wait what gah' blink, he puts both arms around the sibs.]

D'ya mind lettin' me breathe sometime -- that'd be nice --

[Action]

[lovethedemiurge]

[Excuse Trevor as he goes to observe the Water Tower off from a distance away. Miiight be hard to get his attention. HE'S GODDAMN WATCHING.]

1/2 [Action]

[strawberry_roll]

*Unfortunately, he's not the only one watching.*

*Ichi's sort of at a loss for what to DO with herself right now. She might be coming to crash with the Warners, but they're not her siblings, and right now, she rather misses her own family. So she's looking around rather awkwardly, scanning their surroundings...*

*...And then she sees HIM. And her whole body goes very tense.*

...You have GOT to be kidding me.

*That much was muttered very close to the Warners, but she doesn't seem to have been addressing them directly.*

2/2 [Action]

[strawberry_roll]

*But without any further explanation, she's zipping off -- right up to mere INCHES before Trevor's nasty ol' nose. And guess what? She's NOT happy.*

BACK IT OFF, FISHFACE!

[Action]

[lovethedemiurge]

[You. Yoooou. YOOOOOOOOOU. You're the one blabbing about him all over the network. You gossipy strawberry, you. Stumbling back, he swats in the air.]

Did I--!--do anything?
