1st Postcard [Action]

[Mavis had not been long in Luceti; face down in the cool morning grass of under the shade of a large tree...by any means it would be an ideal place to awake from a nap for anyone. Except when the wind blows just enough to shift the cover of the leaves to let the sunlight shine down on her it awakes her with a start of pain and a disoriented scramble. Sunlight...the sun was up! How on Earth did it get so late and what was she doing outside of the Hotel? Another beam of light zaps her between the branches of the tree, drawing a sharp 'Ow!' from the vampire before she let her form disappear into a cloud of fog before re-materializing as a bat. There would be less of her to get caught in the sun now. Clambering close to the tree trunk she winces at the odd pain against her back before taking stock of her surroundings.

No, she definitely was not in the haunted forest surrounding the Hotel. Everything was far too bright and chipper and there was a village here, one much different than the one she'd flown to the night before and subsequently had to bail on. At her side was a small pile of clothing consisting of her dress, her leggings, and shoes with a strange book resting on top of it. Talk about weird. If she had the time she'd investigate the weird looking journal but the sun grew brighter by the minute; it would only take few hours for it to reach its peak and burn her to a crisp. She'd have to find shelter first, and fast. She could only hope her clothes could give her enough cover.

Anyone walking through the village square might come across a black lump slowly creeping around the corners of houses and shops from shadow to shadow, occasionally bumping into a wall or possibly even their foot! It's hard to see where she's going from under the book and the pile of her clothes but it's the only portable cover Mavis has as a bat. She can only hope she doesn't draw the attention of the humans.]

[Eep, that's a weird reaction. Vanellope drops the book, unprepared for that surprise.]

Sorry, sorry! [...] What are you, anyway? Are you hidin' from someone? [She glances around!] ... I can help, if you want!!
sugarglitch: (I made you a thing!)

[personal profile] sugarglitch 2013-05-20 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
Sure! [Vanellope grins brightly.] Are you runnin' from someone? I can hide you somewhere really quick!
sugarglitch: (hello!)

[oh wow a secret!]

Cool, okay! I can keep a secret! And, hold on, I know a place! [She grabs - well, everything: the journal, the clothes and the mysterious thing buried in that bundle.]

Hold on to your b̂̌r͛̔͗͆̏̾̌҉e͛ä͑̈ͯͫ͗̊ǩͨ͂ͨ́ͮͭf͗ͫͪͫͫ͗aͪͮͤş̽͗ͤ̿̆͊ͮt! [And away they go, as Vanellope glitches over to the hallway outside hers and Ralph's apartment. There aren't any windows here, so it's dark enough!]

Yeah, it's cause I have this special superpower that-- [Hold up, Vanellope finally gets a good luck at the thing - and it's pretty cute!]

Woah! What are you!

[Vanellope nods, grinning widely. Ooh, she loves secrets!]

I promise not to freak out on you! You don't look really scary. Heck, I've seen some scarier licorice than you, an' that's saying something!
sugarglitch: (hello!)

[personal profile] sugarglitch 2013-05-25 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Vanellope gasps in awe!! Oh man, oh man!] Woah, how did you do that, that's amazing! [She jumps up and glitches a couple of steps closer.]

Oh! Right, and I'm Vanellope von Schweetz. I'm a racer!
sugarglitch: (I made you a thing!)

Cars, doy. Though there aren't any cars here in Luceti, 'cept for the fake ones in the Dome... Oh, and the ones on Mario Kart, over at the Rec Center's gaming thing. [It was an N64, but c'mon that console was so last century.]

But you're a vampire, right? That's pretty neat! What else can ya do!
sugarglitch: (never seen you smile)

[personal profile] sugarglitch 2013-05-26 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm the best, of course! [A happy little grin... one that melts away into excitement when Mavis disappears for a couple of seconds.]

Holy mother of molasses, that was really cool! I didn't know vampire could do that kinda thing! [She jumps up once.] It's kinda like what I can do!

[personal profile] sugarglitch 2013-05-28 09:34 am (UTC)(link)
They can't! I'm just special 'cause I've got a really cool superpower. [She grins right back, running over to stand right under Mavis.]

You're really cool too, though! Can you teach me how to do that?
sugarglitch: (what's this pedal do)

[personal profile] sugarglitch 2013-06-03 07:53 am (UTC)(link)
Ooh. Can ya really do that? [Vee jumps up, only half startled when Mavis lands in front of her. She's been upside down before, but that was when she had tree branches to hang off of!]
