[Open] A Land of Magical Different Magic...

[frybits]

Warnings: Steven being adorable. Also possibly teleporting.
Location: The south side of Lux Spire/the park (please keep him around here unless we've discussed things)
Characters: Steven and the Stevens anyone who wants to meet him before he meets you.
When: September 10
Summary: Friendly kid is brand new. Help maybe?


Just to the south of the spire, a small boy in a pink t-shirt stamped with a bright yellow star is standing on the street with his neck craned back as far as it can go. "Whoooooaaaaa..." he murmurs to no one in particular. "It's even taller than the temple! They might wanna put some railings up, though..."

He puts a hand to his chin in thought. Clearly he's quite focused on taking in this monument.

Or, if he's moved on from that, he's completely distracted by by everything else around him. New things clearly require his full attention!

This probably means that he's not paying much attention to people passing by or other traffic, however. If you're not prone to just reaching out to a new resident, at least you can keep him out of impending danger?

Comments

[unrecovered]

"It's not nearly as much fun starting at the top and having to come all the way down, though." Wash can't help but follow up on the kid's comment on the spire. It's pretty obvious he's new here; the locals don't stare at the architecture, and Wash is pretty familiar with just about all the offworld arrivals at this point. "Lot of stairs."

He looks down at the kid and smiles just a little. "Did you just get here?"

[jonesiseverywhere]

Is that kid gonna wander straight into traffic?

Maybe. Maybe not. But he doesn't look like he's paying enough attention NOT to, staring up into the clouds like he's seeing something totally amazing up there instead of the same old spire like always. Either he's new here, or he also thinks that grinding down the railing of the spire's stairs would be the sickest thing in the universe.

Either way, it's time for a patented crazy Casey Jones entrance. He hops on his bike and pedals his heart out, reaching out to snag his shirt and toss him onto the back of the bike with a "Whoa, little dude!"

When Rose sees that young boy, staring up at the spire, she suddenly feels... something familiar. Something she's already seen before, and should know like the back of her hand...

...Oh, right! His shirt! Greg has a bunch just like that one in the back of his van. Other than that, Rose has absolutely no idea who this is.

"Excuse me, are you lost?" She approaches him from behind- he does look like he's new here, after all, with the way he's looking at everything. Of course, even if he's not, a boy this young should probably be with his parents, right? Either way, she should probably try to help him out.

Barbara's wearing her costume. Munching on a doughnut. Doing important super hero business, like sitting on a rooftop watching the crowds. You never know when something evil is going to pop up! Which it pays for every batgirl to have a full stomach.

She spotted Steven, looking around lost, and moved to the end of the roof. She jumped off one building to a lower one, using a grappling-bat to catch at another rooftop as she swung to the ground in front of the boy.

"You new here?"

[letteropener]

"It is impressive, isn't it?"

Who said that? Why it's the talking winged unicorn, of course, who strolled up to his side while he was busy admiring the massive tower.

Escape from Rose's Apartment was becoming a game that Peridot needed to get very, very good at in a big hurry. Rose couldn't be everywhere. She couldn't watch her all day. She couldn't clone herself or...

Oh.

Oh, maybe she CAN clone herself.

He can't be here. It's not...well, alright, fine, there are a lot of things that Peridot thought were impossible that are apparently completely possible in this city of madness but still! Is Rose still around or has she become the Steven? Can they exist separately? Does he know what Peridot has done to the Greg human?

...Can she turn around very very quietly and leave before she's spotted?
