First Night: A Whole New Whole New World?

[onejump]

[Action- Locked to Beast and Belle]

[The bed seems off somehow. It's dark, but somehow the feel of it is off.

His hand stretches out and brushes against something furry. Abu must have fallen asleep on his bed again. He quickly pulls his hand back to avoid waking him, then pushes himself up off the bed. This is definitely not his bed.

He tries to crawl out of the bed... and his hand hits warm fur. A lot of it. Attached to something... big.

Very, very big.

So, he, being the stalwart hero he is, does what any brave, calm, resolute hero does. He yelps and jumps out of that bed like it was on fire.]

[Action]

[Later in the day, Aladdin can be found wandering around the village, staring in awe at everything he finds and generally looking as much like a new feather as one possibly can. Feel free to chat, or if you're feeling more malicious, feel free to test your deviousness.

Alternatively, there is a certain tiny thieving monkey running around, and Aladdin hasn't been united with him juuuuust yet. He may or may not grab anything shiny.]

action; (I hope this is okay)

[ex_tessen852]

[Suki is not a happy camper. Some stupid monkey-thing, not even a cat-monkey, just a PLAIN monkey, stole one of her fans, and she was chasing it down. She looked like an idiot, but she's wasn't going to let that monkey keep something that important to her.

The monkey rounded a corner, which is where Suki lost the stupid thing. She did, however, spot a guy.]

Excuse me? [She's in full Kyoshi Warrior uniform, makeup and all.] Have you seen a monkey with a gold fan around here?

[Action]

[savedtheworld]

[Aang is a few shelves over browsing the wares... but here's Momo, the flying lemur, crawling along towards a particularly shiny watch that's hanging up to a shelf. He reaches up to grab it with his tiny claws.]

TOTALLY OKAY

[onejump]

[The woman in the strange armor certainly grabbed his attention.]

"Monkey? No, I haven't seen a-"

[He's interrupted by a familiar squeak, one that almost sounded like his name. And suddenly that same monkey, with that same fan, scampers up the side of a building and out of their reach]

"... Abu! What are you-"

[And then he puts it together.]

"Hey!"

YAY!

[ex_tessen852]

There it is! You little brat.

[She looked at the boy in front of her.]

Abu? Is that its name...?

WAIT! Is that thing yours?

Re: YAY!

[onejump]

"Yes, and he knows better."

[Aladdin glares up at Abu.]

"Just because we're not in Agrabah anymore doesn't mean you can start stealing things you don't need."

[Abu chitters down at him defiantly.]

"I don't care. Come down here and give it back."

[The chittering continues, and Abu climbs higher, folding his tiny arms sullenly. Aladdin glances back at Suki apologetically.]

"Look, I'm really sorry. I'll get it back for you, don't worry."

[ex_tessen852]

And why did it take my fan in the first place?

[What re you teaching your monkey-thing, random kid?]

[onejump]

[Oh, boy. This was a long conversation just waiting to happen.]

"He stole it because he's a thief."

[all7seas]

"MONKEY!"

Yes -- a certain thieving monkey just stole Jack Sparrow's beloved hat. And a certain Jack Sparrow is certainly not happy about that.

[Action]

[onejump]

[Well, Momo might be surprised to find that he's not the only one with designs on that watch. A tiny monkey of the more terrestrial variety is slowly slipping along the shelf, captivated by the intricate detail and the shiny golden gleam of it.

Aladdin, for his part, is a bit distracted to rein in Abu's covetous tendencies- he's staring at a broad and dizzying array of gadgets and devices he's never even seen before, trying to figure out what if any of it he could actually use for himself. It's not until Abu's little monkey paw hits Momo's paw that he realizes he has a rival, and he begins chittering irritably.

And then Aladdin's attention is aroused.]

"What's going on, Abu?"

Re: action

[onejump]

[Monkey?

Aladdin barely has time to look toward the source of the voice before a tiny form and a great fancy hat go zipping by at top speed.]

"Abu?"

[But before Aladdin can try and catch up to his furry compatriot, he manages to turn directly into the path of one hatless pirate.]

/FORCES PROSE ON YOU

[all7seas]

"GESUNDHEIT!"

That is hatless pirate language for GET OUT OF MY WAY, LAD. MONKEY.

NO YOU CAN'T MAKE ME oh okay.

[onejump]

Aladdin barely has time to register that before he leaps out of the way of the scurrying pirate.

"What- WAIT."

And quickly he joins the chase- not for the hat, but for the monkey he hopes is underneath it.

/ALWAYS WINS

[all7seas]

"MONKEYMONKEYMONKEYMONKEYMONKEY!"

When Jack chases monkeys, he chases monkeys. He's prepared to climb trees, dive under wheelbarrows, wade through fountains, run along the railing of a bridge -- anything to get ahold of that monkey and GET HIS HAT BACK.

He is mostly ignoring Aladdin at this point.

ONLY BECAUSE I LET YOU.

[onejump]

"Hey! Wait! Come back!"

The monkey shows no signs of stopping, even at Aladdin's voice. It does, however, begin climbing up the side of a community building. Along a gutter drain that can't possibly support a human's weight. Safely atop his perch, the monkey peers down from beneath the hat- and sure enough, it is Abu.

"Abu! Get back down here!"

The monkey only chitters in agitated response.

[all7seas]

"You know this monkey?!"

[Action]

[savedtheworld]

[Momo's not too pleased, himself, and he chitters back at the rival monkey while trying to tug at the watch.

Aang is drawn over by the attention as well.]

Momo? Are you alright?

[ex_tessen852]

What a great pet you have. [Glaring.]

You do realize that there's no point of stealing here. Everything is already free.

[toujoursfluer]

[there are eyes watching you, Aladdin, particularly if you wander near the fountain. You may not notice them, as they are tucked into the eves and windows of buildings, but nevertheless, a woman sitting on the fountain ledge and quietly reading her book seems to notice your arrival]

New Feather?

[crimsonblade]

[Nel was just walking through town. She appeared to be distracted, but had her attacker been human, they would have been easily dealt with. As he was small, fuzzy and sort of cute, she hadn't expected that. Or to have her scarf stolen.]

Stop! Give me back my scarf, you thieving little mongrel!

[Action]

[tailasoldastime]

[Aladdin might have at first considered himself lucky that this very big furry thing is a fairly deep sleeper, and thus could not notice the few paddings he received from his unwanted companion.

But such luck runs dry when you decide to scream and make violent movements in said furry thing's sleeping quarters. And of course, as common sense would allow it, Beast is startled awake and jumps out of bed in a flail, a movement made much more magnificent in the consequential swoosh of his bedsheet as it is inadvertently pulled off the mattress.

As it is dark in his room, it takes his eyes some time to adjust - but he knows there is someone in there with him. It better not be a droid.]

Who's there? Show yourself!

[spohkh]

[Spock stalks through the village square with a dark cloud hanging over his head...

...well, not literally. But the Vulcan does look pissed in his non-emotional way. His badge has been stolen... again. Except this time it definitely wasn't a cat...
With his head down he nearly runs into a new-feather..]

My apologies... welcome to Luceti.

[Have a grumpy Vulcan.]

[Action]

[funnygirl]

[As luck would have it, Belle is moving past Beast's room while all of this commotion is going on. It's enough noise to make her pause in her steps and consider knocking to make sure Beast is alright.

But then she hears Beast shout, clearly talking to someone. Someone who should not be in there with him. Without stopping to consider, or even giving thought to the fact that she's still in her night gown, Belle rushes to his door and opens it, switching on the light as she steps inside.]

Beast? Are you alright? [She doesn't see the newcomer right away. Not until she catches motion out of the corner of her eye.] Oh my...Who are you?

[Action]

[linefacingforever]

[Maybe Yu was a bit of a dork; he still had his Yasogami High School uniform in the train bag that had followed him to Luceti, and of course he couldn't help but wear it every now and then. After all, he'd be going back to school in this place; why wouldn't he wear it?]

[Said uniform also had a pair of pins on the collar... a pair of shiny, gold colored pins, that might just be attractive to a certain little monkey. Yu did not notice, however; after all, who would think to look out for a thieving monkey, like the one currently reaching out for his collar?]

[onejump]

"Guess it's kinda obvious, huh?"

[He scratches the back of his neck sheepishly.]

"Hey. I'm Aladdin."

[Action]

[onejump]

"Abu!"

[Aladdin tries to pull Abu away from the watch before he can grab at it, but Abu's a fast and wily monkey, and so Aladdin's hands close on air as Abu engages Momo in an irritable tug of war.]

"Abu, leave it alone!"
