A Cat Stuck In A Tree

[Funhouse Gear]

*I'd been sitting in one of the aisle seats, waiting to hear what we were planning on doing from here on, but I get up when Moon starts back to the main door. I don't think Arson even registered what she said, so I jog to catch up and put a hand on her shoulder as she gets to the doors* Hey, Moon. Where are you headed? We might be here awhile.

[Poison Shot]

*I pass at gear as she addresses the unfamiliar killjoy and tells her to stay inside. *
It's true. Besides you don't wanna stay out there alone. You might attract attention. I've got the theatre hidden by a electo magnetic field but it doesn't make you Physically Invisble.

Welcome to the theatre.

* knock knock from below the theatres trap door*

Oh! Almos got caught up in the nostalgia.
*walks over to the stage And opens the trap door.*

You guys can come out now. We're with friends.

[Moonlight Revenge]

*starts answering Gear's question* I'm headed back to the van because I don't know what to do really.... Do I help Jump and PB or.... I truly don't know, I'm sorry...
*turns my my head a little bit* oh! I'm sorry I haven't introduced myself. I'm Moonlight Revenge but you can call me Moon. And alright then, I'll stay... I just don't want to cause any harm to you guys if I attracted attention by anyone.

[Poison Shot]

Well moon, you can feel free to relax or act on the stage, have a look around, etc.

And my name is Noah. But I go by 'Poison' out here.

[Moonlight Revenge]

alright then, thank you and nice to meet you, Poison *smiles and walks away from the door*

[Funhouse Gear]

*I follow Moon, curious to see who Poison was calling out from under the stage* Don't worry, I don't have anything in particular to do right now either. But knowing life in the Zones, it won't stay quiet for long... I recommend exploring. Theaters tend to be interesting places, after all.

[Moonlight Revenge]

I've never been to theaters before, so I guess that I'll take a walk around the place.

[petroleumblaster]

*I walk over to Moon, taking Nack with me and leaving Jump to decompress for a bit. He flops down into a seat and is asleep almost immediately. It's an impressive skill to have, really, and one he cultivated over the years of middle and high school math classes. I walk up to Moon* Mind if we wander with you? It's been quite the week for all of us and it will be nice to do something fun for a change. Also, I have to confess, I currently have the overwhelming urge to recite all the Shakespeare quotes I know right now.

*I look at the stage and wonder how many plastic skulls and roses might be in the back...*

[Moonlight Revenge]

nope, I don't mind at all. you're very welcomed.
go ahead, recite them all... it'd be great to hear anything by Shakespeare after all this time

[petroleumblaster]

Allright *I jump up on the stage, waving to the new killjoys coming out from under the stage via trap door. Nifty* Hey, I'm Petroleum Blaster, but most people call me PB. Any requests from anyone? I know bits and pieces of most Shakespearean plays.

[Moonlight Revenge]

Antony and Cleopatra please?

[Poison Shot]

PB? .. I'm Sarah. Noah's sister. *I Look around for a familiar face and and see arson sitting with the girl they call Red. I wave and take a seat behind them*

* I turn to sarah and smile now that she's out from hiding again*

Are they just going to stay under there?

For now. They're a bit tired.

Alright. We still gotta fix her memory. She's also a bit on edge...

[petroleumblaster]

((Moon, I love you! I was just thinking about this play...))

*I nod and take the powerful stance of Marc Antony, talking to the audience as if they were the Queen of Egypt and pinnacle of Antony's obsession, Cleopatra. In my mind's eye the hot sands of the zones have turned into the unforgiving sands of Alexandria, BLI tower replaced with the greatest of pyramids*

Let Rome in Tiber melt, and the wide arch
Of the ranged empire fall! Here is my space.
Kingdoms are clay: our dungy earth alike
Feeds beast as man: the nobleness of life
Is to do thus; when such a mutual pair

And such a twain can do't, in which I bind,
On pain of punishment, the world to weet
We stand up peerless.

[Arson Anthem]

*I half-smile when Red leans on me. She's by far the nicest drac I've ever met, and I still can't understand how she could be so attached to someone like Max.*

*I'm sitting against my bag, and something keeps digging into my back. It's not until I get tired of fidgeting and pull it out from behind me that I realize what it is - the box from Retro. I don't want to see it's crisp white edges, but I take it out anyway and hand it to Red* This is for you. It's from - from Retro.

[redhavoc]

*I look at it curiously. A gift? I can't remember the last time someone gave me a gift... The perfectly white box is inset with a BLI logo, but it's subtle, almost artsy looking. I glance at Arson and then carefully open the box. Between foam slabs is a perfect camera with a large lens and white, glossy finish. My eyes go wide. It's beautiful... a polaroid model. These are not cheap in Battery City*

*I examine it carefully, considering, and then attempt to hand it to Arson. I'm too young for something this nice*
