(IC) Surprise the OC above!

time to start a thread off..... with a rich brat. good luck. :")

@ NP: Fitzgerald actually gets surprised rather easily, so go hog wild with your response!! just keep in mind that he most likely won't take it well, even if it turns out to be relatively menial/harmless (ex: being given a box of chocolates, anything pertaining to dogs, etc.). as per usual, he's all bark and no bite, so the worst that will happen is him being >:((((((( @ your character as a result lmao.

maybe I'll do a follow-up for NP if I have the time??

"Hey, I brought you some cake! Hope you like it" She stared at the guy in front of her waiting for a reaction, she didn't know him but at least she wanted to surprise him giving him some cake, that's the least she could do, right?

(hiii)

There's a chance she will act really nice or really cold, it depends if she likes the person or not!

(I don't mind doing follow ups)

She could only stare at him, she couldn't even react about what just happened, she didn't even like vegetables, why carrots were such a stereotype for rabbits if they're bad for them? She just could only see him laugh at his own joke. "Uhhh.. why...?"

The labrat poked out from the doorframe, basket in hand. He thrust it towards her, she could see inside was a plastic bag of baby carrots. "Get it? Cuz you're a little rabbit!" He began to laugh so hard at his own bad joke that he wound up dropping the basket at her feet.

(Not a claim! Ignore me!)

KingOswald, keep the sentence limit in mind! You need at least three sentences!

Tik tik.
Blou's beak tapped against the thickened glass of the testing tubes. The dodo pressed her face in a measuring cup. Then tapped her nails against a measuring cylinder. Tik tik.
Xander had tried to keep Blou away from the glass work. But nothing seemed to work. If he sat Blou back down on the ground, the walgvogel jumped right back onto the table and started rubbing her dodo feathers all over the expensive glass-equipment. If he tried to hold her, Blou would bite his arm demanding to be released.
"I'm sorry about my bird, sir," he said. As he shot Reese a pained look. "She's.. Just a bird sir, that happens to like the sound your glasswork makes. She doesn't know what she's doing…"
Blou stared at the two men with a hollow expression before pressing her head in a measuring cup again.
"Blou! Blou," Blou said. Tones that got muted by the thick edges of the glasswork.

"I can pay you for any damage she makes," Xander said. As he talked over his birds muffled sounds. "It's the least I can do, sir." He continued. Just in time too. Blou poked her head back out of the measuring cup. She gave Xander a challenging look and then….Pushed the measuring cup right off the table. The glass shattered with a loud KLING. A sound that the bird directly copied.
"KLING, KLING."
She reached for the rack with testing-tubes but Xander managed to pick her up júst in time. The old singer's face had paled as he tried to keep the squirming dodo in it's place.
"Void! I'm so sorry, she normally doesn't do that. Oh, Void that must have been expensive. L-let me repay you sir. Name a sum sir," he said. Eying the 15 year old clone that hardly set a foot outside his lab. "No price is too ridicules."

An accurate depiction of Blou

(it has been almost 2 days sooo)

Laura got close to the small creature, trying to not make a sound, was this ok to do? She just wants to surprise him after all.

When she was close enough to him she jumped and said loudly "Boo!"

There's a chance she will act really nice or really cold, it depends if she likes the person or not!

(I don't mind doing follow ups)

She looked where the sound came from "Uhh... Are you ok?"

Being as quiet as she could, Destiny had tiptoed through the halls over to where the other party was standing. Laura looked at peace, literally just vibing. Destiny was about to ruin that.

She was holding a cupcake, one that her aunt had made for the way smaller species. She didn't watch where she was going, and bumped into something and slipped! She cried out as she heard the cupcake stumble to the floor, making a bunch of clanking sounds as it did so. It had shocked the other party, making them turn around. So... Mission accomplished?

--

Np, Destiny will get surprised easily!

"Oh, come on! Get the hell out of that couch! Don't worry about the bird! She just happens to have a bit of an attitude... Mm?"

Brown, nonetheless, had to hold her hand out to prevent her hellspawn of a bird, also known as Minou, from ripping the girl's nose off. Though the bird didn't attack either woman, it nonetheless remained agitated as it shuffled its taloned feet and let out a low hissing noise. Occasionally, her lip drew back into a snarl, but she didn't snap- Or bite, for that matter! Minou was, in other words, relatively calm for a bird that was supposedly full of anger and hatred. Good for her!

What wasn't so good was that Brown remained all too calm as she gently nudged the bird off to the side with her forearm, then crooned to the child, "But you should be careful either way, miss. You never know what could have happened if I were not there to intervene... Huh!" She started to chortle while pressing her arm even more against Minou's chest feathers. Surprisingly enough, the bird just... Blinked. And hissed, of course - but mostly blinked. Brown had a smooth smile on her face while doing so, as if "saving" a child from danger was something to be proud of.

This, in fact, wasn't something to be proud of. Not at all!

As she could feel Minou's breathing start to steady itself, Brown huffed to the child, "Besides... I don't think she's a ghost. The bird, in fact, is real. And the most dangerous monsters tend to be the realest of them all at times..." Whatever you say, edgelord. She shook her head, allowing locks of hair to drape down her shoulders, before flaring her nostrils and glancing over at the kitchen. "Besides, no amount of storytelling can diminish the fact that she's real. Maybe you recognized her from one of those books of yours..." Bitterness flecked her voice as she realized that, alas, the individual she was speaking to was a child.

"... But that doesn't change anything. There are worse things out there than a bird anyhow." Like... "Now, as said before, get out of there. I have something to provide for you anyhow."

With a slow flutter of her lashes, Brown shuffled forwards while allowing Minou to perch herself ever so dramatically on the virago's shoulders. She looked essentially imposing from any distance, and she sure as fuck wasn't going to clarify what that "something" was anytime soon. Even with the faintest whiff of coffee cream coming from the kitchen, even with the faint specks of sugar that dotted Brown's otherwise pristine outfit... Brown deliberately left the girl in suspense, and she wasn't helping as she - without a word - started trotting to the kitchen with Minou in tow. What the fuck? Did she expect the girl to follow her? Brown fucking sucked at this, apparently.

@ NP: Brown does get surprised/startled rather easily, especially if she's touched!! just expect her to be rather hostile to your character, as she tends to associate being surprised with.... not the best memories. she might be nicer if she already likes your character, but if not? good luck not pissing her off. 😔

I'll also try my best to do a follow-up for NP or ELSE.

The Kraker squeezed himself better on the window frame. It rained. Salvador rammed his bandensnijder underneath the window frame, cracked it open and slipped in. It was a mansion at the outskirts of town. There was a noble party going on downstairs and the music was audible on the abandoned first floor. Salvador hardly paid it any mind though, his leidsman had sent him here for a reason. And one reason only. The Imp crept silently through the mansion, ignoring the music, the expensive vases and lamps. He walked a planned path. A route he'd studied for hours straight.

Salvador opened a door. Leading to a lit bedroom, the hearthside was burning cozy and a few oil lamps lighted the rest. Salvador removed his mask and eyed the one person in the room. Brown. The lady, Roswell, had asked him to meet.
"Brown," he said. He wasn't sure if his unannounced entree had surprised her or not, but it did not matter. Salvador reached the inner pocket of his jacket. "Pah couldn't make it. He sends me," he said. As he approached the noblewoman, his arm outstretched and the letter pointing towards her.
"Sorry to disappoint," he said. Salvador placed the letter on Brown's desk and stiffly rolled his shoulders. "But things have changed. There are Jakes spotted in the harbor. To wipe Zeewolven away. Roswell couldn't miss it." Salvador nudged the letter slightly. His rain-soaked fingers left prints on the envelope.
"Pah asked me to deliver this to you. Directly. It's Smith's," he said. Not knowing who Smith was in the first place. "It was meant for Johnson, years ago, Nathaniel seems to have it. Pah stole it. Now I deliver it to you." Salvador summed up the last events. Going as far as counting the steps on his fingers.
"It's about her disappearing. Or something."

--

He didn't know what states where. And why they should unite. But Salvador kept his mouth shut and accepted the gifts. Somewhat surprised.

"Surprise someone? What?"

Phuong looked to her friend, an American who also happens to be a CMU user like she was, both former Spirits of themselves from the Vietnam War.

Said friend told her whatever they knew about Salvador, including the fact that he loves chocolate and coffee, actually common sort of treats found in America. They handed her said supplies, before running off back to whoever knows where. What? Are they a friend of said guy, did they stalk them? Is that a war crime? Again, who cares about how war crimes are judged in the U.S.

Phuong went up to Salvador, tapping him on the shoulder as she presented the coffee and chocolate to him.

"Do not mind me. Simple situation here. Friend of mine from the United States (why is it called that?) told me to give this to you." the Vietnamese told him simply, not really knowing what else to say.

"Eh, hope you enjoy it. They might be a friend of yours? No clue." Phuong added before leaving.

.

Note for @NP: It can be hard to surprise Phuong and not get a deadpanned look and "I knew it" response....surprise her with something unique, out of the ordinary is the key! Btw she can use magic so, fantasy aspects are welcome! Have fun! :)
