[video] Because the network is the best dating service?

[Charlie is standing in the center of the screen in her apartment when she appears, in a blue blouse and black skirt, and she waves, smiling brightly.]

Hey guys! This is kind of a ...public service announcement sort of thing but not really about something totally important! See this is-

[She frowns off screen.]

You have to actually be in view Kat!

[There's a groan off screen.] I guess I kind of have to, don't I...

[And then a girl with dark skin and blonde hair sidles into the frame, one arm reaching across her stomach to idly grab at the other arm. She seems uncomfortable, but manages a nervous-looking smile at the camera.]
H-hi there!

Right, great. This is Kat! [Charlie throws a hand out as if to indicate her.]

She's awesome and cool and everyone should want to be her friend. And she's pretty, and she has this really neat gravity powers.

But! And you may not believe this, she has never been on a date before! Ever!


[She whispers a bit too loudly.] You didn't have to be so blunt about it--

[And then she just looks at the camera and waves a bit awkwardly.]

Well how else was I going to put it?

[She rolls her eyes and looks back at the camera.]

Anyway! She's awesome and cool and needs a date? So who's interested?


[A beat.]

Oh right! We're pretty sure she's eighteen or so, so kinda around there's the age we're looking for here, and...uh, don't be a creeper. Or evil. Evil's a big turn off, okay?

Yeah, if I could avoid anyone evil that'd be really great.

[She takes a deep breath for courage and looks at the camera, her smile growing more genuine if no less nervous.] I like cats and stuffed animals and like high-up places with nice views, and taking long baths and reading magazines, and think that--

[Oops. She timed that wrong. The feed shuts off.]

[ooc: Blue is Charlie, Red is Kat, they'll both be answering this!]

...what do you mean, what?
invoking: (constantly surprised.)

[personal profile] invoking 2013-03-02 08:21 am (UTC)(link)
You said you came from higher up on it? What does that mean? It's a building?
redshifting: (skyfall)

[personal profile] redshifting 2013-03-02 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
It's just a really big pillar! And people lived in a village down the pillar, so why couldn't I have come from a village higher up?
invoking: (huh.)

[personal profile] invoking 2013-03-03 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
But that pillar has to be large enough to house people and buildings... and villages? [ What on earth is that pillar?? ]
redshifting: (really?)

[personal profile] redshifting 2013-03-03 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah, it's really big! It's... huge!

But Hekesville was floating around it, so maybe the other cities are too?
invoking: (?_?)

[personal profile] invoking 2013-03-05 02:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Your city floats? How is that even possible?
redshifting: (deep thoughts)

[personal profile] redshifting 2013-03-05 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I dunno, it just does. You can fall off the edge if you're not careful.

Maybe it has something to do with all the gravity storms?
invoking: (cloaked.)

[personal profile] invoking 2013-03-05 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry, I don't know what that is. [ How can gravity have a... storm? He concludes Kat's world is weird. ]
redshifting: (well um you see that)

[personal profile] redshifting 2013-03-05 03:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, um, it's a... storm. And everything's choppy and being thrown around or crushed and if you're not careful it'll whooooosh--! Suck you in.
invoking: commission. (having a fire sale?!)

[personal profile] invoking 2013-03-05 03:15 pm (UTC)(link)
And that's... normal where you're from? Are you from Earth?
redshifting: (eh?)

[personal profile] redshifting 2013-03-05 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I told you, I'm from the World Pillar. That's the entire world, as far as I know.
invoking: (looking glass.)

[personal profile] invoking 2013-03-05 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
That's... strange, if you don't mind my saying so.
redshifting: (eh?)

[personal profile] redshifting 2013-03-06 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Well-- well, maybe all this solid ground is strange! Ever think about that?
invoking: (... non.)

[personal profile] invoking 2013-03-06 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
... No. That's normal!
redshifting: (grumpface)

[personal profile] redshifting 2013-03-06 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Not where I'm from!
invoking: (my brother is a dick.)

[personal profile] invoking 2013-03-06 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
How does anything stay put, then?
redshifting: (skyfall)

[personal profile] redshifting 2013-03-06 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know, it just does!
invoking: commission. (bête noire.)

[personal profile] invoking 2013-03-06 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Gil sighs. ]

This is the first time I've ever heard of a world like that.
redshifting: (behindwards)

[personal profile] redshifting 2013-03-06 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)
If it makes you feel better, I've never heard of a world like this either before I got here?
redshifting: (redeyes)

[personal profile] redshifting 2013-03-11 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! It was just the World Pillar, that's all.
