Lonely Rolling Star~ [OPEN]

[rollwthechanges.livejournal.com]

Anyone paying attention in the City today will notice a bizarre sight-- a small lump of garbage, roughly a foot and a half in diameter, rolling up and down the streets. It's mostly made out of bits of rubble, broken glass and garbage, the odd misplaced or discarded item, the occasional loose cobblestone that's been dragged up from the street. Several crew members innocently dropped something they were carrying and found it suddenly snatched by the trashy menace and on its way down the street.

Behind the ball of garbage, pushing it along, is a well-meaning but rather misguided little space person with a pad of paper and a magenta colored pencil strapped to him like a backpack. On the paper is written a message:

-----------------------------------

WE ARE SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE!
WE WILL HAVE YOUR PLANETS RESTORED SOON!

-----------------------------------

He looks hard at work, but he would be happy to stop and chat with his subjects.

Pepper was not happy. She had lost a shoe, and Pepper has never lost anything until she woke up in that pod.

She had returned from her appointment with Rein, and had noticed she only had one shoe when she entered her quarters.

Pepper was retracing her steps, trying to locate her missing shoe, something that had strangely survived even her world being destroyed, when she saw something that looked like her shoe stuck to a ball of garbage?

"Wait!" She called, dashing after to stop the ball and get her shoe.

The Prince was on a roll (ha ha) and in his own little world of pushing and rolling, paying no attention to the human woman behind him.

He was just a very focused little guy.

"Excuse me!" Pepper called, running to catch up, and managing to get in front of the ball. "Can I have my shoe back, please?"

The Prince slowed to a stop, pulling on the katamari to halt it before it ran into this poor woman too. Oh, how clumsy of him!

He bowed apologetically and climbed up on top of the katamari, rolling it from side to side by walking on top until he found a small section of the clump made almost entirely of various types of shoes. He glanced up at the woman quizzically. Which was hers?

Pepper smiled, as the little green man rotated his ball to the pile of shoes that she had seen her shoe in.

Plucking out her shoe, that beautiful Louboutin that was nearly the only thing left from her world, Pepper waved it in the air.

"This one, and thank you."

The Prince gave another little bow, only too happy to help. He reached back for his pad of paper and pulled off one of the pre-written sheets, scribbled in green colored pencil (with some flowers drawn around the edge.) He held it up for her to look at.

[GREETINGS AND HELLO!

WE ARE THE PRINCE OF ALL COSMOS, SON OF THE MAGNIFICENT KING OF ALL COSMOS AND THE BEAUTIFUL QUEEN OF ALL COSMOS. WE ARE SORRY FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF YOUR WORLDS AND WE WILL HAVE THEM PUT BACK TOGETHER IN NO TIME ONCE WE GATHER THINGS.

WE WILL DO OUR BEST FOR YOU!

~ THE PRINCE OF ALL COSMOS]

"Ah. Hello, Prince." Pepper smiled, startled, but regaining her composure. "What do you mean, gather things?"

The Prince gestured to the katamari beneath him. It certainly did have many things stuck to it, after all.

[WE ROLL THINGS UP IN A KATAMARI AND USE IT TO MAKE A PLANET,] he explained with his next piece of paper.

Pepper's eyebrows rose as she read the Prince's note. "Really. I'm impressed. Do you need to make it the size of a planet, or is it just a seed?"

[A FEW METERS WILL USUALLY DO. OUR FATHER TURNS THEM INTO PLANETS, BUT WE ARE THINKING WE MAY HAVE TO DO IT ON OUR OWN THIS TIME.] Unless his father was sleeping in the pods somewhere... there was a scary thought.

"I see!" Pepper smiled. "I wish you luck, Prince."
