[test] THIS WEATHER IS RIDICULOUS

[espigeonage]

Random scenario test drive meme. Some prompts:
> Ah god it's so hot and muggy how awful!
> The worst thing about summer cold snaps: you don't usually have your windbreaker handy because it's been so damn hot.
> The wind is perverse and trying to steal your things and/or crash stuff into you.
> It's raining wet vermy-things, as if the hail and possible storm wasn't bad enough. Now you have rain-echoes to deal with, at best.
> A nice day? I guess those exist?

So where are you?
> Caught way out in the open! At the beach, in the steet, at a fair, anywhere.
> Taking shelter! Bus stop, club you wouldn't normally frequent, bridge underpass, any port in a storm, any shade from the deathsun.
> In the mall or somewhere comfortably out of the elements, you lucky sunuvanek.
> Somewhere... else? idk, do what you want!

Have at thee!

MARPHBLURGFGGLE.

[ NO MEDUCA NO...

Meaning Octavia isn't exactly a stranger to getting a mouthful of wind-swept hair - come on, look at her own giant mass o' follicles - but when it's a complete stranger's hair and not her own?

NO.

HELL NO.

Her flailing and shrieking isn't going to make disentangling her from Madeline's hair any easier, gosh. It may be making things worse. ]

this is the most appropriate icon i have for this scenario

[sagittariacaelestis]

[ is it- oh god, this girl's getting it tied into a knot. ]

Wait, just- please stop, we can still work this out-

[ a particularly vicious flail signifies the end of the hair's slack, and with a small shriek all nearly-five-feet of madeline hart-nakamura crashes into octavia. ]

lbr there are no appropriate icons here 8'|||||

[drama8om8]

[ Oh dear. The unholy shrieking reaches a crescendo. Eardrums around Locke City burst. Brains haemorrage. NO ONE SURVIVES.

Or Octavia just screams really loudly and, oh-so-sensibly, shoves Madeline away with all her panicky strength. Which isn't the smartest move considering their two respective plagues of hair seem to be tangling with each other alarmingly.

It's like they're fusing.

MAYBE THEY ARE.

Either way - if Madeline is knocked back/over by that shove, Octavia is going down with her. Everything is terrible and life is pain. ]

[sagittariacaelestis]

[ PCHOOOOO. madeline, off-balance as is, isn't quite expecting the shove. nor is she expecting to topple over in the other direction, yanking octavia and her hair with her in the process. the "oomph" she makes as she lands on the ground with a teenage anger elemental on top of her leaves her breathless for a moment, but soon enough she's back to trying: ]

Wait! Wait! Please, hold on for just a moment...

[ sorry, octavia - the two of you are tangled up enough at this point that yanking won't be enough. madeline reaches up, putting both hands on the teen's shoulders, and tries to look her in the eye. ]

Please hold still! I can't get us untangled unless we're both doing our best to stay calm...

[drama8om8]

[ Oh god. Oh god this is so ridiculous and horrible and Octavia is about to have a panic attack because IF ANY OF THE DRAMA CLUB SEE THIS IT WILL LOOK LIKE SHE IS SOME KIND OF LESBIAN WITH A HAIR FETISH.

LIFE IS STILL PAIN. ]

I am calm! Calm and collected and peachy and -- [ hissing: ] -- your hair is a danger to society and to my reputation.

[sagittariacaelestis]

I know. I'm really sorry about it - I haven't figured out what to do with it yet.

[ aimless as always, huh? she pushes herself onto her elbows, still looking up at octavia (and hoping she didn't catch that bit about her hair sprouting). ]

Um, I'm going to try sitting us both up, okay? Then I think I can brush it back to normal...

[drama8om8]

You think?

[ staying VERY STILL but totally on the edge of hysteria here ]

You think you can brush it out. Oh! Oh man that is fucking great. Awesome. Super. Oh my god you're going to kill my hair I need this hair my life is over I hate everything I hate you why can't I catch a break oh my god
