003 [Action + Video]

[action, anywhere in the city, open to all]
'Scuse me, pardon me!

[Perhaps you are relaxing in your room.  Or perhaps you're enjoying a dip in the pool or taking a breather in the library.  Regardless of the activity in question, the peaceful atmosphere is suddenly broken by the intrusion of someone in a black and white costume carrying a knapsack filled with packages flying through -- yes, straight through.  Straight through the wall and out the outer side, tossing out a hurried note of apology along the way.

...In the moments of stunned disbelief afterwards, the girl sticks her head back through the wall and waves a bit to catch your attention.  As if it isn't already caught.]

Actually, do you know a 'Dennis'?  I'm looking for a Dennis.  Or -- maybe this is a P, I can't really tell, but I can't imagine anyone naming their kid that unless they really hated the thought of having kids.  ...It's just kind of mean.

[Before too much time can be spent pondering on the dilemma of D vs. P, Phantom Girl thrusts the package she's holding back into her sack and rummages around.]

Oh, I might have one for you, too, actually.  Did you order anything from a... 'Nyx's Nightclub' lately?

[Phantom Girl had found a day job, apparently.]

[video, public]
[Some two hours later, an irritated Phantom Girl appears on the screen.]

I can't believe it!  They're docking my pay this week!  I mean, I don't need it, but that's incredibly unfair.

I thought the point of being a courier was to get the job done as fast as you can; what's the use of plodding about all over the place reading the street signs?  It's way faster to do it my way; all of you got your deliveries faster than you were expecting, right?  I mean, it's not like you guys have anything to hide in your rooms.  And it's not like I opened a package or anything - that's the only privacy concern they should be worried about.

[She continues to stew and mutter aimlessly for a few moments before striding closer to the screen and pointing at it.]

...Seriously, though, did one of you snitch?

((OoC Note: No toilet/shower shenanigans, please!))

Comments

[action], it had to happen

[operationbox]

[Io is, in her own way, a girl's girl, and is on a shopping trip today! She is looking at the recent lines and trying things on.]

[Naturally, in response to being caught in a dressing room, she starts panicking.]

[Yeah, you came at a bad time.]

[phantom_envoy]

Uh.

[Have you ever seen anyone screech to a halt in mid-air? It is apparently perfectly possible. Phantom Girl stops before she even goes out the other side and pauses uncomfortably with her eyes directed at some corner or other.]

Wow.

Who knew they put dressing rooms to the side of the stores nowadays?

[operationbox]

[She still can't quite properly react, although she calms down a little bit after realizing it was, thankfully, a girl that had stopped to talk.]

Everyone other than you!

[phantom_envoy]

Hm. I'm pretty sure they're supposed to be in the back, but... I'll keep that in mind for the future.

Happy dress hunting! Oh, and sorry.

[Phantom Girl slips out the other side of the stall because wow awkward.]

Action

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha looks up from her lunch - a light salad - and just sort of blinks for a few seconds before regaining her composure.

"Hey, it's been a while. Don't think there's anyone named Dennis in the building, though."

[phantom_envoy]

"Exactly. I've never even heard of a Dennis. Everyone here is named things like, well. Kotoha and Phantom Girl."

She squints more closely at the package in question for a few moments before giving a small shrug.

"Maybe this one is a fake. Some kind of test to see if I'm paying attention."

[unbroken_chain]

"Actually, it's a pretty common name back home. But a lot of people here are from Japan, for some reason, so names like mine are more normal, I guess?"

[resipiscent]

[Who is this? Riku looks up from his novel, one brow arched.]

Nobody would name their kid "Pennis".

[He gets the joke, but he wants to pretend he doesn't.]

[phantom_envoy]

Exactly. It's practically child abuse.

[Phantom Girl gives a small shrug as she shoves the package back into her knapsack.]

Whoever this guy is, he seems to have a habit of ordering solid bricks for delivery.

[resipiscent]

You think it's really a brick?

[He reaches into the pages of the book, pulling out a small scrap of paper which he sticks into the page he's on. Shutting the book with a quiet snap, he sets it in between the cushion and arm of the chair.]

... Who are you, anyway?

[Action]

[nofightingdestiny]

[Someone phasing through walls isn't too weird to Fate, really. Nor is suddenly being yanked from what he was doing.

Except that had already happened once today, and the last thing he recalled was that he was fighting a little pyromaniac girl and her demon bear. He even hand a handful of cards ready to let fly, but this... This isn't Summoner's Rift. The feeling of the summoning spell isn't there, nor is the mental link with his Summoner, or the restraints imposed by the League. Winding up on a back alley of a city that doesn't look like any part of Valoran he's ever seen, that wasn't part of the plan for the day.

Phantom Girl gets a curious glance, though Fate tends to keep his eyes covered by the brim of his hat - and were she to check her COMP, she'd be getting a new arrival alert.]

Ain't ever heard of such a place, miss - not really sure where I'm at, to tell the truth.

[phantom_envoy]

...Eh. It was sort of a wild guess, anyway.

[She quickly thumbs through each of her packages in turn before giving a shrug.]

Nothing for you today then, probably. The rest of these are for the business district.

...And not that it's any of my business, but you probably shouldn't drink so much before noon; bad for your liver in the long run. You're in Libra, outside the Visitor apartments.

[nofightingdestiny]

[Man, you have one little publicly-reported bender after a breakup, and people just start assuming stuff. Fate frowns, putting away the handful of cards with a flashy flick of the wrist before straightening up and adjusting his coat with a two-handed tug on the front.]

Now hold on a minute, young lady. I haven't had a drop today. And what part of Valoran is 'Libra' in? 'Cause I've never heard of it.

Action, JP's Headquarters

[terminally_clever]

...Just a moment.

[Fumi, seemingly unfazed by the sudden appearance of Phantom Girl and also the sudden blaring of the security alarms, continues staring at her computer as her fingers fly across the keyboard at lightning speed. Within moments, the noise abates.]

Note to self: research anti-phasing technology.

[phantom_envoy]

Huh.

...Here I thought this was one of those boring buildings where they processed paperwork.

[Phantom Girl pauses in mid-air as she gets a good look at her surroundings before dropping to the ground.]

And not that I want you to find a way to hinder me, but anti-phasing technology probably won't do you much good.

[terminally_clever]

[Phantom Girl is in this badass looking place, with the giant clock face and the books everywhere and whatnot. And of course, the huge computer terminal that Fumi's sitting in front of.]

Hm. Energy fields, then?

[Action - M'gann's Apartment]

[hello_mgann]

[M'gann jumps and squeaks when Phantom Girl enters her apartment but, calms down once she realizes who is there.]

I don't think I ordered anything at all.

Wait a minute, you can walk through walls?

[phantom_envoy]

Yes and no. ...Let's just go with 'yes' to make things easier.

[Phantom Girl gives a shrug as she flips through the rest of the packages.]

Sorry, nothing for you today, then. ...Not that you'd be expecting anything if you hadn't ordered it. Want a consolation prize?

[hello_mgann]

A consolation prize? That sounds nice.

Do you mind if I ask a few questions about your powers? I've been trying to learn how to shift my density, but it hasn't been easy.

[video]

[greatseal]

[Minako has no idea what's going on with the context of this message but it sounds interesting.]

I'm sure some people have things to hide in their rooms. Or at least think they do.

[phantom_envoy]

I could have gone through invisibly and no one would have been the wiser. It was practically courtesy that I kept myself in the visible light spectrum.

[More like 'too much effort'.]

[greatseal]

I think the issue comes mostly from being there at all. Most people expect privacy inside their own homes.

[action]

[plunderbunny]

[Oh, you just phased through the wall. Okay then.]

I'm afraid there's no Dennis here. Or Dennis with a P, either. I'm fairly certain it's not spelled with a P, that would be quite vulgar.

[squint]

...Are you undead by chance?

[phantom_envoy]

Wha -- Of course not! Just because someone goes through things doesn't mean they're a ghost. That's awfully narrow-minded.

[how rude]

[plunderbunny]

Ah, of course. You'll have to forgive me, where I come from that is one of the telltale signs of a spirit. So, some kind of enchantment, I take it?
