[11:30 am; By Paradise Hills Apartments]

[loudmouthchosen]

Zelos stood outside the apartments, facing the river as he ran through a sword dance/exercise. It was calming and kept him in shape.

Suddenly something relatively soft hit him on the head and bounced off. He paused and looked up then down at the ground around him. There was a bagel sitting innocently on the ground. Zelos blinked then bent down and picked it up, leaning his sword against his shoulder, pointing skywards.

"What the... Animus playing around again?" He examined it, and noticed the tiny black seeds covered the darkly colored bagel. "Poppyseed..." He sniffed it and frowned. "Poppy seed pumpernickel bagel? ...Sounds interesting." It had hit the ground though, so Zelos wasn't about to try it. Icky icky dirt and the like. Zelos shifted his sword then stopped, noting an odd weight about it. He looked at the sword and found that two additional bagels had speared themselves on the sword.

"...Maybe I should get an umbrella or something to catch some bagels in...."

Bagels.

HELL YES.

Topher loved bagels!

Well ok, the man loved anything starchy but bagels with cream cheese, lox and big cup of coffee? Breakfast of champions, manfriend. Or..in his case usually lunch because he was never that 'with it' in the morning.

Needless details. What mattered was FREE BAGELS! He was so on this. In fact Topher was so focused on gathering bagels he didn't notice how far he'd wandered from the lab. That is, until he saw another guy with long red hair collecting food with his...sword.

Wow. Random.

He wasn't sure if he should wave at the guy or just keep collecting food with the salavaged backpack he had on his shoulder.

Cause really? Using your sword to pick up bagels? TOTALLY BAD ASS...until you piss the guy off and he comes after you with the bagel sword. Then it was just not cool.

\o

[loudmouthchosen]

Zelos came to a decision and turned, still holding his ...'bagel sword'. It was then he spotted the man with light brown-blonde hair who seemed to be collecting the bagels that continued to fall from the sky like some sort of bakery explosion in the sky.

Zelos wondered briefly why the animus seemed to prefer bakery products as opposed to fruit or even meat.

But ever one to be moderately friendly, he waved with the hand holding the poppy seed-pumpernickel bagel.

"Hello."

[mytechendsworld]

Oh if it rained steaks? Topher would so be all over that! Even if it did cause some inevitable structural damage.

Great so the Bagel Swordsman had spotted him. Topher raised his hand to give him a wave--

--and then winced when a egg bagel landed smack on the top of his head.

"OW. I hate you, egg bagel!!" He gave it a vicious kick.

Great first impression, boyo.

Still rubbing his head, he nodded at the stranger.

"Hi. Ah..heads up?"

2:00pm; Near the River in Northwest

[hisbutlerbound]

Breakfast was usually scones, but lately supplies were rather thin with most of it put towards baking other sweets to his master's particular tongue.

The raining of bagels was the perfect opportunity and with a large basket in hand, he rushed right towards the river where it was less occupied and dashed hurriedly around. Using a pair of tongs, he'd rush around, capturing it within mid air and ushered each one into the basket. No mouth of the Phantomhive family would ever touch a bagel that had fallen upon the ground. It was unbecoming and unworthy of even touching the butler's hands.

Body curling gracefully, he twisted in air, leaping to catch the more fresher ones falling, not a single one escaping the vincinity around him.

Hallelujah, it's raining bagels~

[ledouche_zero]

Lelouch had taken to surveying the city, in an attempt to get a better feel for it. Kind of a daunting task, given how big it was, and how he disliked hiking long distances. Or any kind of distance at all. But there really wasn't much of a choice, so he just accepted the task and carried on with it. He was near the river in the Northwest quadrant, when all of a sudden his afternoon constitution was interrupted. By getting beaned in the back of the head by some kind of object.

It wasn't heavy, so it wasn't quite enough to knock him to the ground. It was, however, enough to send him stumbling out of surprise so that he could trip over a rock, and that knocked him to the ground.

"OOF."

Graceful. Lelouch hauled himself to hands and knees and scowled in the direction of the fallen object. Was that... a bagel? And better yet, was that the butler he'd talked to once, over yonder, turning the already absurd task of plucking bagels out of the sky into some downright bizarre form of ballet?

Maybe he'd hit his head harder than he thought.

xD

[hisbutlerbound]

Sebastian was graceful in every movement, whisking through the air to pluck the breads from it and into the basket, also keeping care as not to accidently drop any out of the basket itself. He landed with a firm plant and checked the amount in the basket.

While weaving through the air, he had been sure to pluck several of the different varieties, somehow also managing to order them in the same manner within the basket. A sound alerted him to his presence when he looked over at the young sir tripping on a rock.

"Good afternoon."

Notifsss you bastard /weeps

[ledouche_zero]

"Uh. Good afternoon." Politeness couldn't hurt, especially when there was a possibility this was all a concussion-induced hallucination. Lelouch climbed slowly back to his feet.

"You're very... skilled." Lelouch turned his face skyward. Down came another bagel, which he actually managed to catch this time. He inspected it closely. It couldn't be safe to eat, it had... rained down from the sky. "And does precipitation around here usually consist of breakfast items?"

[ Noon-ish; in front of the Taj Mahal]

[live_ringer]

Gene had been wandering about outside of the Taj Mahal. Just. Staring. Because, really, how often did you accidentally run into one of the eight wonders of the world while just strolling around? Granted, he knew it was an unstable world with as many oddities as the Sphere but this was still unexpected.

And speaking of unexpected. Gene blinked as he felt something bounce off of the top of his head. Then saw another plop down in the periphery of his vision. And another. Before he knew it shower of bread products was raining down upon the land.

"And me without my umbrella..." he said as he shielded his face. He thought back to the time it rained pink champagne in the Sphere, and the inside out umbrella he'd used to catch it. The two places really were racking up more and more similarities.

bwahahaha

[mytechendsworld]

After chatting it up with Zelos, Topher decided it was time to slowly make his way back home. His backpack was getting very heavy after all. He ended up taking the long way across the river and past the cinema, which brought him alongside the Taj Mahal. The site always amused him so whenever he had an excuse to go by it he took it.

Of course right as he passed by it began to rain again. He grumbled and took shelter under a rather sad looking tree as he tried to wait out the downpour.

"Hmm, the popcorn rain was probably better for the environment," he grumbled to himself as the bagels soon became caught in the tree's upper branches. He reached out to grab a blueberry bagel without really thinking about it and after a moment he began to munch on it.

He didn't even notice the other man standing nearby.

:3 /joins the party

[burntorangesky]

Fred had had enough of Edensphere's latest foolishness. After having to climb a tower earlier in the week to save one man, and soundly defeating a wolf just this morning to save two more, Fred had decided that braving the current Wilderness was infinitely preferable to dealing with more men who had been trapped in faerie tales

Wee~

[live_ringer]

He couldn't be sure, what with the thudding sound of bagels all around, but Gene could swear he heard a familiar voice nearby. As he looked around he spotted the source and blinked in surprise. As far as he had heard, Genius hadn't taken Youth's death well at all. While the other man had finally made it back safe and sound, Gene still didn't peg Genius as the sort to head into the place where a friend had been killed so soon. It looked like he had misjudged.

As he started walking over towards where Genuis was he caught a glimps of Fred who had just scurried under the shelter of a tree not far from the one the other man had taken cover under. Not a bad idea, really. Gene held an arm up to continue guarding his face until he could do the same.

"Oi, you two! Fancy running into you here."

[peach_kabobs]

First muffins and now bagels? The Animus-thingys must really be getting into the spirit of things... Momo was just glad she'd got the garden somewhat covered before this sudden pastry rain hit. She herself, tired of being cooped up in the house and disallowed from certain haunts (for now), had decided to go exploring--maybe, possibly , if she was daring enough, checking out the elevator she now eyed curiously. It seemed to be quite the attraction, lately, and supposedly...well, supposedly led to a whole second world of people, like here only... not.

Now that, that had to be interesting...

[whatwasntneeded]

She had been attempting to explore the world (or whatever it was meant to be) that she found herself in when bagels suddenly began to rain down on her head. "Now this is simply absurd," she said irritably.
