1st Sale [Video]

[oujomerchant]

[Behold, Siren's Port, for Alouette is making her first appearance upon the network. Why? Because today she feels she has something to show off today. The video opens with a shot of the young girl standing in a hallway, adorn in a violet dress and looking pleased as punch. She speaks, of course, with a french accent.]

Bonjour, everyone, I am Alouette Emeline Mercier Bouchard! As of late I have been getting quite caught up in the holiday spirit. However, before I reveal my decorations, I have come to realize that I have a bit of a.. Problem. Perhaps someone here can answer.
[She looks a bit troubled.] You see in the world where I am from our calender is different. I was born on the thirty fourth day of the twelfth month, and it has come to my attention that there is no thirty fourth day this month. Or any month, why one even only has twenty-eight days! Really, what am I supposed to do about that? Does this mean I am going to have to be fourteen forever?

Normally I would not have a problem with this, but if I had to be stuck at a particular age, I really would prefer it be sixteen.

[Alouette is lost a moment in thought, then jumps as if she had awoken from a daydream.]

Ahem! W- Well enough of that. People of Siren's Port, prepare to feast your eyes upon a four day project from the mind of a fourteen year old racing genius!

[She holds her NV out and away from her as she pushes the doors open, revealing a ballroom. Or, rather, an upside down ballroom, the chandeliers are all pointing upward.]

Oh la la la!! [beat] la la!!

[In shock the NV is dropped, conveniently left pointed upward to show a toy race-track that covers half of the ballroom floor, with all sorts of twists, turns, loop the loops as well as many little toy decorations of trees, snow mounds, reindeer, candy canes and elves to give the appearance of the 'north pole'.]

Wh- Wh- WH- WH- WHAT IS GOING ON!! How? WH- [Completely flustered, there is only one person she can think of to blame for this madness!]

R- RECEEEETTE!!!!

[Action] *dies* You are on fire. XD

[oujomerchant]

[Nope, not going to comment on a nickle being 'amazing'. That doll's getting taken care of right now.]

Get rid of that doll. You can actually afford one now, for goodness sake.

[Now then, back to being shocked.]

I already told you this is not my doing! [Recette's brilliant joke goes right over Alouette's head, and so she ignores it.] I was about to show off my race track, but when I opened the doors everything was like that! And now this is like this, and..

... No, my power is most certainly not something so annoying. It would be something elegant and graceful. Like me.

[capitalism_ho]

[The girl frowns as if told to get give away her kitten. She doesn't actually have one, but that's what she'd look like if she had one and was told that!]

But its so cute! Sure, its missing an eye, but I thought it might make a good pirate. I could give it an eyepatch and everything, and shiver almost ever timber I come across, whatever that means. Besides, I bet....hold up!

[She dashes out of the room and down the hall. She's back in record time, however.]

Yep. Cap'n Nobeard is up on the ceiling, too. Poor guy. First he loses his eye, then this happens. So, if this isn't your power, and you didn't become a wizard, what the heck is going on? Because I'm SURE there were no gypsies out. They're the only ones that do curses, right?

[Alouette stares at Recette as if she came from another planet, then crosses her arms as she waits for her 'frenemy' to return. She doesn't seem pleased by the report that follows.]

Mon dieu! This is madness!

I am afraid there is not much we can do just yet. I considered an exorcist but I shall leave that as a last resort.. Here at the port if could be someone other than a gypsie. Very well, here is the plan! I shall search the network for clues. Recette, you...

...

You prepare the chocolate milk. I am certain we have a ladder somewhere.

Re: [Action]

[capitalism_ho]

[An important task if she'd ever heard one! Its a sign of just how different the two girls are that she isn't all that worried about this. To Alouette, this was a horrible disruption of her normal life. To Recette, it was a chance to see all the neat things on the ceiling that she normally didn't get a chance to. Sure, she might be sad when it came time to go to bed and she couldn't, but she always lives in the here and now and today is no exception.]

Chocokay! I've got this covered! But I hope our glasses don't fly up there, too. It'd make it super hard to drink that way.

[And she's off! Leaving Alouette to deal with a problem that isn't really a problem to her, she zips down the hallway, only to zip back a moment later.]

We've got a ladder! The bad news is that the room its in is upside down, so I'd need a ladder to reach it!

[oujomerchant]

[And Recetter returns with the worst news ever. Well, not the worst ever but it's pretty bad for today. She facepalms.]

You must be kidding.. But at least I have made some progress, it appears that the one behind this is the person I have spoken with not long ago. Also we are not the only people who have been targeted so I suppose it is only a matter of time before he is beaten up and things are returned to normal.

Which is good, I would not want to have to spend my money on adventurers for something like this.

[The blonde looks thoughtful for a moment. There is simply no way she could stay here and not lose her mind.]

.. Recette, I propose we leave and get chocolate milk elsewhere. All those in favor?

[capitalism_ho]

[It isn't THAT bad, all things considered. Recette finally found that pair of socks she'd lost, it had been trapped inside a lamp hanging off the ceiling. So it wasn't all bad!]

Yeah, its not like we know any of the adventurers here, they might charge huge amounts of money! You always hired too many anyway, though. With so many people, you scared away all the monsters so you couldn't get good stuff from them!

[Recette, master of beating up animals and selling their body parts.]

Anyway, I vote for going elsewhere for chocolate milk twice. One time with each hand!

[She raises both to emphasize the point!]

[oujomerchant]

[Recette, there is something seriously wrong with you. And yet when both hands are raised, Alouette can't help but smile a little.]

Well then it is a unanimous vote, and the coat room looks relatively normal, thankfully.

And for the record, there is nothing wrong with my strategy, it is simply beyond your comprehension! Do not worry, one day you too can become a brilliant strategist like myself.

On that note I suggest you keep an eye out for strong looking adventurers soon.
