+ Chalk it to me! - Mingle Log +

Who: EVERYONE!
Where: Anywhere outside on Real Side, but mostly in the gardens!
When: 3/14-3/20
Rating: PG, warn if going higher than PG-13
Summary: Alice has invited everyone, Reals and Mirrors alike, to come color outside in the nice spring weather with magic chalk. Surely nothing could go wrong with that plan, right?
The Story:

Outside, the weather is absolutely beautiful. It's not too hot, but not too cold either, and no one would have ever realized there was snow on the ground yesterday if they hadn't been here to see it. The grass is green and everything is dry - no sign of melted snow anywhere at all. Flowers have begun to bloom and it truly looks as though it's been spring for some time already. The season has changed abruptly and now Wonderland's decided it's time for it to be nice out.

There are many paths through the gardens, the vendors, and the hedge maze that can be drawn on, but as Alice demonstrated in her post, there's no need at all to stick to pavement only. Even the air can be decorated with living drawings!

This is a log for people who want to come color outside or people who want to check out what others are doing out here. It isn't strictly to interact with Alice, but she'll be around and will have a top level.

I think she's happy to meet you too! [He says, gigging at the way Louis presents himself.

And then he whistles awkwardly as he questions the relationship.]


Ohhh, it's a long story! So Lars is this guy who also worked here? He could be kind of a jerk, but he has a heart of gold too, and he really cares about Sadie! But... he's really bad at showing it and a lot of times he ends up being mean or lazy instead. Lars has done a lot of growing up since then! ...Buuut it also involved him going to space, dying and coming back to life, and now leading a spaceship across the universe on his way back to Earth.

[A beat.]

So I guess there's a few bumps in the road.
teamfun: (Is to save every day)

[personal profile] teamfun 2019-03-29 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Well~ it's always important to make a good first impression, right?

[He listens to Steven's story- as with most of Steven's stories, he gets it...up to a certain point. And then it goes all crazy towards the end and he's reminded that Steven comes from a world that might just be more batshit than his own. ]

That's... yeah, yeah, I'd say those were some bumpy ol' bumps right there. Uh- just to check- because that means a very specific thing where I come from... when you say he died and came back to life? Was it like...life-life? Or 'he's coming back to earth to eat y'all' life?
jamminshield: (twiddling thumbs)

[personal profile] jamminshield 2019-04-02 11:10 am (UTC)(link)
And you sure made it! [He says with a nod.]

Oh, you mean like... [A wary whisper:] A zombie? Um, it wasn't like that! It was mostly life-life. Now he's just also pink and magical and I'm not sure if he really need to eat anymore?
teamfun: (I swear I lived)

[personal profile] teamfun 2019-04-03 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[He can't help a wan little smile at Steven's stage whisper.]

Yeah. Like a zombie.

[The word will always feel weird to say.]

Welll, that doesn't sound like a walker at all. There's a distinct lack of pink, but they would be easier to see if they were. Instead of just like...grey and blending in with the woods. Regardless, he sounds like a legit not-zombie coming back, so good for him?
jamminshield: (glum)

[personal profile] jamminshield 2019-04-06 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
[He frowns and listens seriously as Louis talks about the 'walkers'. That must be another term for zombies...]

Yeah! Definitely good. [He doesn't know what he'd do if he didn't successfully come back.] Now I just have to find a way to get him back to Earth next time I'm home.

[Sadie seems oblivious to what they're talking about and just offers them a plate of chalky doughnuts.]
teamfun: (When the lights are low)

[personal profile] teamfun 2019-04-07 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
[At least he didn't ask what they call them when they run (spoilers, they don't).]

Well! If anyone can figure that out, I'd bet my last penny on it being you, Steve-O.

[He grins, giving Steven a little nudge with his elbow.]

I got faith in you, Lil' Buddy. [Oh, and now there are doughnuts.] ...Wow they look...scrummy?
jamminshield: (Default)

[personal profile] jamminshield 2019-04-08 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Thank heaven for small mercies.

He giggles at the elbow tap and then turns his attention to the doughnuts being offered.]


But how do they taste? That's the important part. ...Can we eat these?

[Chalk Sadie smiles innocently while in a fixed position of holding out the tray for them.]
teamfun: (As I try to balance in the center)

[personal profile] teamfun 2019-04-08 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm gonna take a wild stab at this and guess they're gonna taste like chalk.

[It looks god-awful, but he can't let down Chalk Sadie so he picks one up, grimacing.]

Hoooo boy I know I'm gonna regret this one.

[And then he takes a bite out of the chalk doughnut, because of course he does. He instantly makes a 'yak' sound, but battles it down anyway- smiling at Chalk Sadie and offering a thumbs up.]

Hmmmmm. That's good eating. [As an aside to Steven.] Oh god please can we leave?

jamminshield: (twiddling thumbs)

[personal profile] jamminshield 2019-04-12 01:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Steven looks at Louis in concern as he ingests that chalk doughnut. He's then sure to be very loud and clear when he speaks.]

Mmm, looks good! I'll have to take one for the road. [He says as he grabs one doughnut for himself. Because he can't let Louis suffer alone!] Cause, y'know, it's me Steven! I've... got stuff to attend to. And- and things!
teamfun: (All your joy)

[personal profile] teamfun 2019-04-12 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[Louis nods quickly.]

Yeah! He's got important gem-saving-the-world stuff to do. You know how it is, busy busy. A Steven's work is never done.

[He'll turn to the door with a dramatic sweep. WORD TO SAVE YOU KNOW.]

C'mon, Steve-O, we can't just eat delicious doughnuts all day long.
jamminshield: (shushed)

[personal profile] jamminshield 2019-04-13 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
Right! Gotta go bye Chalk Sadie!!

[Then shoves the doughnut in his mouth and forces himself to chew it as he runs outside. He proceeds to cough up chalk.]

...D-definitely a unique flavor!
teamfun: (Stop taking lives come on)

[personal profile] teamfun 2019-04-13 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Louis makes a comical 'belgh' sound, trying to wipe chalk dust off his tongue.]

It's still not the worst thing I've ever eaten, but it's for sure in the top five. But at least she tried.
jamminshield: (What's your excuse)

[personal profile] jamminshield 2019-04-16 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
She did! Sadie's a good person. She always tries her best, it's great! [He looks around.]

Hmmm, where should we go next? ...Something tells me we should skip the other food places, as much as I miss Fish Stew Pizza and the fry place.. hey, wanna meet my dad?
teamfun: (Of a ball as round and shiny as the moon)

[personal profile] teamfun 2019-04-16 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, I'm pretty sure 'fish, stew and pizza' don't belong together in the same sentence.

[After the chalk doughnuts, he's passing HARD on that, he'll aim for family instead. Probably safer. ]

Sure! I'd love to meet your dad.
jamminshield: (excite)

[personal profile] jamminshield 2019-04-18 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Those words go together a lot better than you might think! [He says with a waggle of his finger.]

Great! Then here we go! [Steven runs ahead as he makes his way towards the local car wash!]
teamfun: (Why would you give up on it so soon?)

[personal profile] teamfun 2019-04-18 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I remain utterly unconvinced until the time comes where you can convince me.

[God, he hopes he isn't opening himself to eating fish stew pizza any time soon. Ew. He follows Steven to the car wash, smiling a little. ]

So. You close to your dad?
jamminshield: (blissful listening)

[personal profile] jamminshield 2019-04-19 01:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course! We made a song about it and everything! [He nods cheerily as he makes his way forward.]

We hang out a lot! When I'm not busy with missions or stuff. We jam out together, and he gives lots of great advice!

[As they near the car wash, there's one distinctive van parked outside. And one Guitar Dad is perched upon it, strumming at his chalky guitar.]
teamfun: (It's okay it's alright)

[personal profile] teamfun 2019-04-19 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, that's serious stuff, when you make a song about it.

[He's not kidding, song writing is serious buisness, wow.]

He sounds like a pretty cool dad. You're lucky.

[He might be a touch jealous- but it's not like he didn't create the rift between himself and his own father all on his own. No one to blame but himself, on that one. He raises a hand in greeting- wow, Steven has a musical dad. He's maybe more than a touch jealous.]

Uh, hi, Steven's Dad?
jamminshield: (blissful listening)

[personal profile] jamminshield 2019-04-20 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks, Louis. He's the best! Oh yeah, and his name's Greg!

[He floats up and hugs the chalk Greg, who stops his guitar strumming to hug Steven, while babbling happily.]

Hi Chalk Dad!! This is a cool new friend of mine. His name's Louis!!
teamfun: (But take the pain)

[personal profile] teamfun 2019-04-21 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Greg. Great name, solid name.

[He smiles, as Greg hugs Steven. It's nice, and jealousy aside, he's genuinely happy Steven's got a good home life. He's a great guy, he deserves it. ]

Nice to meet you! That's me, a cool friend.
jamminshield: (I love me)

[personal profile] jamminshield 2019-04-22 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
It is, isn't it?

[Steven gets a bit tear-eyed while seeing his father and stays by his side after the hug is complete. Greg proceeds to wave to Louis happily and then starts playing a variety of random sounds on his guitar.]

N-not exactly his best work, but Chalk Dad is trying his best!
teamfun: (The things that I did)

[personal profile] teamfun 2019-04-23 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you kidding? He's awesome.

[And Louis wholeheartedly means that. What he would have given to have his dad even vaguely understand how important music was. And here's Greg, chilling out and playing a guitar. He's a Great Dad.]
jamminshield: (Default)

[personal profile] jamminshield 2019-04-24 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Of course! That's my dad for you. [he smiles proudly. And he gestures towards the car wash nearby.]

And that's his car wash!
teamfun: (Where the phosphorescence shines)

[personal profile] teamfun 2019-04-24 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Louis nods, impressed.]

That's pretty cool. So he owns his own car wash? That sounds like a sweet ass way to live our your days.

[Someone else might wonder how anyone managed to live with income from a car wash, but Louis only had the most basic grasp of the Value of Money before the world ended and he sure as hell didn't have it after. ]
jamminshield: (Default)

[personal profile] jamminshield 2019-04-25 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
Yep! He enjoys it. He keeps on doing work there even after he got a lot of money! Washing cars and playing songs, that's... just what he loves to do, I guess.

[He smiles as he lays on his back atop the van, just staring blankly up towards the sky, and trying to pretend it's the same as actually being back home.]
