(no subject)

Who: Magolor and eeeeveryone (who wants in)
Where: Chillin' outside the housing complexes
When: One fine day in the beginning of August/Achtom
What: Everyone loves a good survey, and even if you don't, you're all getting one anyway.
Rating: G, no warnings here
Note: I'm happy to match your preferred format, so proceed as you wish!


[Could Magolor have done this over the network? Of course. Maybe people would have appreciated that more. But that's not how he chooses to go about this: over the network, he'll be easier to ignore, and that's no good. And over the network, he can't give anyone any earnest handshakes or touches on the shoulder to contribute to his bank account, I mean, the wellbeing of this planet! Praise Diacht!

So instead of ringing up the populace to ask for their input, he's doing this old-school.

Upon leaving their houses today, anytime between midmorning and late afternoon, any character is subject to being hunted down and approached by a perky little hovering alien with a clipboard and pen in his hands. He's pretty fast in waving people down, and pretty relentless:]


Helloooooo~! Won't you spare me just a moment? I promise not to keep you! You'll be glad you did. This is for the good of our community, and I can't do it without your help!

[He at least sounds and looks very earnest about this, like a bright-eyed canvasser on their first day on the streets.

Or maybe it's something else. Maybe you've seen him lurking out there for hours now and want to give him an earful, or like, a snack or something, which would be much appreciated. Maybe you have some bone to pick with him. The world is your oyster! He sure is making himself obnoxiously visible.]

Is that so?

[Will rocks back on his heels; you've got his full attention, Magolor. Saving the universe a time or ten is a pretty impressive claim!]

Well then, it sounds like we'll just have to go out for drinks sometime soon, won't we? I've got to hear this one. Your life back home sounds so exciting!

[Clapclapclap~]

I'm pretty sure I could twist your hand a full 360 degrees and you'd be juuuuuust fine.

[Will just giggles at that; the sheer incongruity of twisting someone's arm when they don't have arms isn't lost on him. But yes, you absolutely got yourself invited out for drinks, and committed yourself to telling the story of helping Kirby save the universe. You can't just offer a grand tale full of danger and adventure like that and not make good on it!]

You don't drink at all? Not even juice or soda pop? I guess we'll just have to have snacks instead, then.

[Look, he's not assuming you mean alcohol automatically. Maybe Halcandrans don't need fluids at all? Alien extradimensional biology means anything is possible!]

[Will just laughs outright at the display; perfect, he doesn't even need to do the arm-twisting himself! He doesn't mind a nice glass of wine himself, but he can certainly respect someone not being able to drink it--especially someone with alien physiology, and such a small size. If it's poisonous to humans in large enough doses, who knows how badly it could hurt a Halcandran?]

As expensive as alcohol is to begin with, that just means we can spend money on something really tasty instead, hmmm~?

.....If we can find anything like that. I guess that's pretty iffy around here, until we get that software straightened out.

A cliffhanger? You fiend.

[Will reels in dramatic despair at the mere suggestion, hand pressed to his forehead. Not suspense!11 He can muddle through making the best of their food situation, but making him wait for a good story? How cruel and unusual.....]
