EVENT: The Great BREW Malfunction Pt 1 [OPEN]

[soul_mods]

Characters: Everyone and anyone
Location: Anywhere in Death City!
Rating: PG-13
Time: Starting July 14 after 11am to July 15
Description: ...something strange is going on here.

At some point, something strange begins to happen. People start randomly disappearing. Sometimes they reappear immediately after and they may not even notice, but sometimes there's a noticeable lag between their disappearance and their reappearance.

Sometimes, they don't even reappear in the same place!

At least it doesn't seem to be dangerous. Unless you disappeared from your kitchen and reappeared at the other end of the city. In which case, you might want to start running.

Either everything sort of points at this being BREW related (after all, if it were Witches, there would be a lot more danger).

((OOC: Create your own threads! Remember to put [ Character | Location | Date/Time | OPEN/CLOSED ] in your subject! This log will cover July 14th to July 15th!]

[vintage_magic]

I don't know. Maybe you didn't concentrate enough.

[starfruitfrog]

But I was concentrating! I was, de arimasu! One more time!

[And he tries it again...but the 'de arimasu' ruins it once more.]

[vintage_magic]

[And there goes the magic circle again, glowing brightly for a couple of seconds before it vanishes.]

Are you sure you weren't distracted? This kind of thing doesn't work if you let your mind wander.

[starfruitfrog]

I'm not! I've never been more undistracted in my life, de arimasu! One more time! One more time!

[And.....again with the same result. Keroro is now just trying to get this to work because no way is he going to fail something like this!]

[vintage_magic]

You don't look very undistracted.

[Not with the way he's flailing his arms around! But come to think of it, the spell always seems to come to a halt at the end of the incantation...]

And this kind of thing can be ruined by a slip of the tongue.

[starfruitfrog]

You mean like a tongue-twister, de arimasu?

[vintage_magic]

Not exactly. Messing up something like this can have serious consequences, change the outcome drastically from what you intended.

[starfruitfrog]

Well, if you intended to show off with a tongue-twister and messed up, you'd be changing the outcome of the situation too, right, de arimasu?

Instead of being cool, you'd be lame, de arimasu.

[No one thinks people that can do tongue-twisters are cool, Keroro.]

[vintage_magic]

It's a bit more serious than just embarrassing yourself. You could hurt someone!

[Like the time when she was a teenager and her grandmother had fallen ill after she messed up a spell.]

[starfruitfrog]

....Doing tongue-twisters, de arimasu?

[vintage_magic]

[Why is that critter so fixated on tongue twisters?]

No, casting spells.

[And she realizes a second too late what she just said.]

[Lily, what were you just saying about slips of the tongue?]

[starfruitfrog]

[It's because he has a short attention span.]

Casting....You mean, I was just doing magic, de arimasu?!

[vintage_magic]

Um, kind of? But that isn't the type of thing to carelessly play with.

[In other words, she's trying to drop another hint he shouldn't read it again.]

[starfruitfrog]

[Sorry, all he heard was that first part.]

Cool, de arimasu! I'm like a magician now, de arimasu!

[vintage_magic]

...Since when did you want to be a magician? [Lily thought his interests were usually in those plastic models he sold in his shop. That and weird costumes.]

[starfruitfrog]

[Since he read Kerory Potter.]

Isn't that every kid's dream, de arimasu? Once they get tired of being a fireman, a lawyer, an astronaut, a chef, a race car driver, a Newtype, or Char Aznable, de arimasu?

[vintage_magic]

[Okay, so some of those seemed typical but...]

What's a Newtype? Or a Char Aznable? And I just don't think you're really the magician type...

[starfruitfrog]

A Newtype isn't really a job. It's just someone who's really really suited to driving a mobile suit, de arimasu. They're really cool and have inhumanly fast reflexes, de arimasu! And Char Aznable was the coolest Newtype of them all, de arimasu!

[Becoming a Newtype may or may not have been his childhood dream. He admits to nothing.]

[vintage_magic]

Um, what's a mobile suit?

[She's not sure about that either. But at least, he's not trying to read the spell anymore...]

[starfruitfrog]

It's like a Gundam, de arimasu. But of course, a Gundam is only a kind of mobile suit. Like the name implies, it's a 'suit' made to be mobile. Like a huge piece of armor, de arimasu!

[vintage_magic]

So, it's a suit of armor? But isn't that something you'd wear rather than drive? [That's a strange way of putting things...]

[starfruitfrog]

Not if it's so big that it has its own cockpit, de arimasu.

[vintage_magic]

They're that big? [She didn't really suspect since she's only seen his Gundam models.]

[starfruitfrog]

Of course, de arimasu! All the better to crush your enemies beneath your feet, de arimasu!

[vintage_magic]

Um, you're just joking about that, right? [Unless he means bugs, the idea of Keroro being able to crush any enemies beneath his feet is a little worrisome.]
