sixth bullet :: video/action

[The feed turns on to reveal a large, sunlit meadow that clearly showcases the work of someone who has been working with the magic dirt; a gazebo stands in the center of the clearing, simple in design and yet possessing an old-fashioned sort of charm. The outline of the Monsigny apartment complex can be seen some distance away, a recognizable shape through the thin wall of trees. A pretty picture, to be certain, and yet one devoid of human life; there's no one in sight, much less the one responsible for the gazebo's creation.

Then there's a flurry of motion near the bottom of the mirror's peripheral vision and the feed pans down to show Mami, gesturing to get the Vine's attention. And yet the girl has quite clearly undergone some radical changes; there are cat ears rising out of her hair and a tail peeking out of her skirt to swish around her ankles, both feline appendages a soft golden color to match her curls. She's been severely reduced in size, not much bigger than a pinecone.

Mami looks ridiculous and yet doesn't seem to be bothered by it, given how she appears as unruffled as always. There's no panic, no outrage, just a faintly amused sort of surprise....on the surface, anyway.]

Ah, hello? Can anyone hear me? [the words come out in a squeaky whisper and she clears her throat, trying again in a louder voice.] I'm in something of a predicament, I'm afraid. In making use of the magic dirt, I somehow triggered one of those troublesome side effects; the result is hopefully obvious enough that I don't have to describe it. [A polite chuckle.]

In my current "state" [and here the ears lie flat against her skull for a moment, a clear display of the annoyance her calm smile is attempting to hide] walking back to more appropriate shelter has become a great deal more difficult. If it's not too much trouble, I would appreciate some assistance.

[ooc: Mami has been wildcarded! The area affected is only the gazebo itself, for a couple of hours; comments will be responded to by

nekofinale for icon purposes.]

Yes, you could be an idiot.

[Truly the worst of things.]

... Do you need any help?

[INDEED. Mami pauses, takes a moment to swallow what remains of her pride.]

Yes, if it wouldn't be too much of a bother.

Okay, have a location I could head towards?

A meadow some distance behind the Monsigny apartments, which is fairly large itself and shouldn't be hard to find.

[She moves out of the way of the mirror, which angles to better capture a clearer view of the apartments off in the distance.]

[She studies the sights in the mirror hard, then speaks.]

Understood. I'll be there shortly.

[She closes her end of the line. Now all that's left is for you to wait.]

[Before the line is cut, Mami dips into a miniature curtsy.]

Thank you, Margatroid-san.

[And she waits!]

[And what greets Mami is not Alice, but one of her dolls. Which should stand twice as tall as Mami is right now.]

[UHHHHHHHHHH

she just eyes it warily]

[It looks back with a look of confusion.]

Is something the matter?

I don't suppose Margatroid-san sent you, did she?

[The doll does a small bow.]

Yes! Master sent me to cover search in a wider area.

[The ears flick in a curious way. She eyes the doll with some lingering wariness, but then, she did remember Alice mentioning her dolls.....so this is likely legitimate.]

Ah, I see. Well, I suppose you can tell her that you've found me now, right?

[The doll shoots a smile. It is far more cheery and friendly than Alice ever is. Which is weird since Alice is literally the one doing everything.]

You should be small enough to ride on my back!

[Yeah, the jarring contrast between the doll's behavior and that of her master doesn't go unnoticed, although Mami is too polite to comment upon it.]

Hm....are you sure?

[Spend some time to see her with them, you might learn something.]

Are you afraid of heights?

[her nose wrinkles, just a little]

No, that's not the case. I just hope I'm not too heavy.

Do not worry, we are normally made with the intention of carrying weapons!

[UHHHHHHHHHHHHHH]

...I see. I admit that I'm curious about that, but perhaps now is neither the time nor place to question such things...

[clears her throat]

Should I just climb on, then?

[The doll nods, turns around and kneels down.]

[carefully clambers aboard!]

[TALK TO ME GOOSE

I mean, wheeeeee flying!]

[DIGS FINGERS INTO WITH A STRENGTH BORN OF FEAR]

[WHAT'S TO FEAR?]

[FALLING OFF AND BEING POUNCED UPON BY CRAZED SQUIRRELS?]

[TIE YOUR HAIR ONTO SOMETHING]
