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.

because I enjoy being mean to Setsuna

The meatship was huge. Even that was an understatement. It was gigantic, enormous, colossal even. Setsuna had been on airships in the magical world, but none of them had held a candle to Stacy. She was exploring the City on her own at the moment, looking for interesting sights and landmarks and just getting a feel for Stacy's layout.

As she walked, Setsuna pulled her Pactio card with Konoka from a pocket, intending to use its magic to contact her friend. But just as she was about to lift the card to her forehead and send a telepathic message Konoka's way, her foot slipped into a small pothole in the street. Setsuna stumbled and managed to catch herself without falling, but the Pactio card slid out of her hand and fluttered down to the ground.

Where a ball of garbage promptly rolled over it and rolled away with it.

For a few long moments, Setsuna could only stare, mouth hanging open, brain valiantly attempting to process what had just happened. Then she snapped out of it as she realized that the strange rolling ball was escaping. "Aaaahh, w-wait! Stop!" she exclaimed, running after it at top speed.

Kogasa had been thoroughly exploring the meatship, hoping she could derive inspiration from any particularly foreboding-looking corridors. She had found a few satisfactory spots, and the City was the only place she had yet to check.

Kogasa faced forward and her umbrella faced backward, just in case she missed something. So it was the umbrella that noticed the ball of garbage rolling toward Kogasa. It was strange, certainly, but nothing to write home about, so the umbrella casually watched the garbage ball until it had almost caught up with them before giving it an exploratory poke with its tongue.

"What..."

Sure, it was short, but it summed up her feelings pretty well.

Ratchet had seen tumbleweeds before, but this was a little different. Was there some kind of out of control waste problem in the City or did Stacy have garbage that picked itself up? That would actually be pretty amazing.

Stepping out in front of the rolling ball, he crouched down and held his hands out, waiting for the little collection to roll into his palms. The fact that there's a tiny person behind it has escaped his notice so far.

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.

"Oh wow," Hayate stared as the junk-ball-thing came rolling her way. She was slowly getting used to the idea that things were very, very different here, and it was almost fun to guess what the purpose of everything was. Maybe it was some kind of street cleaning, litter collecting device. She knelt down to watch it approach, putting an empty juice box and an apple core in its path.
