I Wish I Had a Castle in the Sky ( OPEN )

WHO: Everyone!
WHERE: All over America
WHEN: Nov. 14th-24th
WHAT: The Cosmic Cube is creating multiple realities for all the imPorts. Where are these "universes" coming from and who is wielding it? Are you strong enough to withstand the temptation of a new reality and thwart this misguided attempt at happiness?
WARNINGS: N/A

Hey, Davis! Did you move anything? I've got that Barnes kid's stuff logged. [ He has a digital tablet propped up on a clean, steel table full of plastic bags and baskets filled the different paraphernalia. It's rather reminiscent to an experience in the American security line at the airport. One such basket belongs to James Buchanan Barnes. ] Think something's missing. Says six item's logged, but only—Davis?

[ The man was right there a second ago, wasn't he? Looking around there's no signs John Davis had been there at all, except for in his memory. Shit, has he been talking to himself this whole time? Well, it isn't anything important. The string bean isn't going to miss one dumb little paperweight or whatever it was.

Little does he know just how powerful it is... ]



[ John spares no time or energy leaving Cap Canaveral. He doesn't even put up his cleaning cart before he's zipping through security at the blink of an eye. People've been calling him crazy for so long it's isolated him from the regular rhythm of society, but it's all been worth it for this chance. He will be a hero finally, just like the rest of the imPorts he idolizes. People will start to think twice about him and everyone else with powers. They will have the rights they need to protect this country and keep the Commies out.

This is the energy driving him to hold a dangerous item in his possession. He doesn't know a whole lot about it, only what he's gleaned from gossip rags and conspiracy theory websites. But it's worth the chance to find himself in prison, or worse. In the security of his lonely little apartment he holds the Cube in his hands as it pours out tremendous power. Without words it becomes in tune with his inner self and his wishes. It feeds off of it to create something more than itself. In his world imPorts will have just what they want, whatever it is, however contradictory.

But in truth, what good can come out of a thief too wrapped up in his own fantasies? That is no hero, and John cannot truly control the power he is playing with. As it feeds, the air around him turns hot—too hot to even breath. It's like the oxygen is burning up before it reaches his lungs. The world around him begins to fade as he holds on for dear life, but in the end his consciousness is snuffed out; a small sacrifice for a new world. ]

I doubt it.

[Ugh. Ugh. Rita glances back at Flynn and scowls, tugging even harder]

And you, you're such a pain!

[He's fighting laughter and distinctly not winning, yielding just enough to speed up a tiny bit.]

What's wrong? I'm not doing anything.
blahblahboom: (23)

[personal profile] blahblahboom 2016-12-06 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
How are you such a lump?

[Rita groans as she tries to drag him forward a couple more footsteps. This would be easier if he wasn't wearing that stupid armor of his]
knightunerring: (13)

[personal profile] knightunerring 2016-12-06 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
A lump? Do you mean my armor? Well, it's a little heavy. I could show you sometime.

[He gives ground, very slowly.]
blahblahboom: (15)

[personal profile] blahblahboom 2016-12-06 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
You big--stupid--head-!

[FLYNN YOU ARE WORSE THAN YURI SOMETIMEs, SHE SWEARS]

Why do you have to be muscles for brains?!
knightunerring: (9)

[personal profile] knightunerring 2016-12-06 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
[He beats Yuri in everything, even being annoying.]

Mm, that's part of training too. Muscles are more important to knights than brains, so we drill hard to replace them.
blahblahboom: (15)

[personal profile] blahblahboom 2016-12-06 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
Well, you can tell that stupid captain of yours to put them back--

[PULLING HARDER]
knightunerring: (86)

[personal profile] knightunerring 2016-12-06 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not really in a position to be giving my captain orders.

[RITA THEY'RE GOING AT A PERFECTLY REASONABLE PACE also asking nicely does wonders rather than trying to tug a heavy armored lump.]

You're going to wear yourself out before we even get there.
blahblahboom: (23)

[personal profile] blahblahboom 2016-12-06 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
Then move faster already.

[SHE CAN KEEP THIS UP ALL DAY just watch]
knightunerring: (13)

[personal profile] knightunerring 2016-12-06 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose I could.

[Flynn makes a prompting little noise. Honestly, she definitely knew better manners than this at one point.]

[personal profile] blahblahboom 2016-12-06 12:27 pm (UTC)(link)
If you can, then do it!

[Nah, why waste manners on a lump of metal]
knightunerring: (86)

[personal profile] knightunerring 2016-12-07 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Then this lump of metal isn't moving any faster.]

I promise you the library isn't going anywhere.
blahblahboom: (surprise; I don't even know what to say)

[personal profile] blahblahboom 2016-12-07 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
But the important books might.

[UGH! AUGH. She considers the idea of using 'please']
knightunerring: (39)

[personal profile] knightunerring 2016-12-07 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose that's possible. Even though it's located in the castle, quite a few of the knights and some nobility use that library too.

[It's completely improbable, given the books Rita wants, or he wouldn't be teasing her this badly. But he's not going to say so.]
blahblahboom: (surprise; I don't even know what to say)

[personal profile] blahblahboom 2016-12-07 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
Then we need to hurry-!

[ Nooo, Flynn you stupid jerk]

[personal profile] knightunerring 2016-12-07 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay, okay, he feels a little bad for teasing her so much.]

Only until we get to the Citizen's Quarter, then. It'll take even longer if the guards stop us to ask why we're hurrying.
blahblahboom: (6)

[personal profile] blahblahboom 2016-12-07 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
Man, you'd think you being a knight would make them just ignore things.

[HUFF HUFF HUFF]
knightunerring: (13)

[personal profile] knightunerring 2016-12-07 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
It just makes them pay attention for different reasons.

[If they wanted to be nice and invisible they should have aimed for being regular Citizen's Quarter merchants.]
blahblahboom: (18)

[personal profile] blahblahboom 2016-12-07 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
They're nuisances.

[Geh]
knightunerring: (40)

[personal profile] knightunerring 2016-12-10 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
[On the one hand, he can't quite disagree. On the other hand, setting a good example:]

Keeping an eye out for potential situations is part of the job, though.
blahblahboom: (neutral; i did nothing wrong)

[personal profile] blahblahboom 2016-12-10 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
Potential situations or just the lower quarter people?

[ Just saying!!! ]
