recolle | Teleporting in a winter wonderland.

WHO: Luna and open!
WHERE: All around the city!
WHEN: Second and third week of December.
WHAT: Luna randomly and uncontrollably teleporting around. Also monster dogs playing fetch and winter event shenanigans and who knows what else!
WARNINGS: Sass.

A - Telepor-what now?

Where are you? Are you alone? Perhaps in your own home or at work or even in your car at a stop light? Well, not anymore! There was a sudden swirl of darkness speckled with sparkling silver white light, and then suddenly there's a thirteen year old with pink hair with you, her eyes a bit wide, but her expression mostly one of frustration.

"Now where am I?!"

She hissed out the words as she looked around and immediately grabbed onto the nearest surface, be it wall or table or whatever, before fixing her blue eyes on the nearest person. "Where am I?"

B - Post-telepor-what now?

"Hey, uh...help a girl out?"

The voice came from above, a high wall, the top of a magazine stand, or even the roof of a building, and when someone looks up, they'll find Luna perched on the edge of it, the heels of her feet tapping against the wall beneath her, her eyes a bit wide and maybe a tad freaked out.

"I'm pretty sure I can't get down off here on my own."

And she didn't trust this new power to get her down or make the situation worse. Maybe they could catch her?

C - Can you train a monster dog?

On various days when she wasn't stuck with little control over where she might be from minute to minute, Luna could be found in the park with her dog. Isn't he adorable? With the whole being three and a half feet tall and five feet long and with all the claws and teeth and the poison bites?

At least he acts like a dog? Or he does for Luna, anyway, since most of the time she'd be playing games with him. Usually fetch. Which involves less a tennis ball and more a soccer ball but it seems to do the trick?

Come say hi! He's probably friendly. As long as you aren't threatening in any way.

D - December Event Stuff/Wildcard

Outside of those prompts, Luna is around! At school during the day, hanging out at the mall, playing in the snow, just...being around. Stuck under some mistletoe bats with her? Well that's what pecks on the cheek are for. Get caught in an earthquake mini-blizzard with her? Definitely! Want to start a snowball fight with her? Go for it she will totally return it in kind! Just general December junk like Christmas shopping or whatever?

OOC: I will match style so bracketspam is totally fine! Come at me, etc etc.

Lucy frowned in concern as she turned the machine off, glancing around to see if anyone else was in this section. It was still empty.

"...something like that happened to me, in summer. My...other power wouldn't work," she wiggled her fingers on the 'other', "And anytime I thought about going somewhere I was there. But each time I moved there was smoke, not...stars."

Luna wanted to ask a ton of questions about that, but only one seemed really important.

"So how do I make it stop?!"

"...I don't know. Not thinking about anything? I didn't get to that point."

With a frown, Lucy gently tugged at her sister's arm as she stepped out of the forklift.

"Kurt. He had my power and I had his. I had to talk to him to get them switched around again."

Luna climbed out with Lucy, but as soon as they were on the ground she was gripping her sister's hand pretty tightly.

"Oh great. I don't even know who you're talking about." She sighed. "But you said it wasn't the...what, cold black and light swirly cloud thing I'm doing?"

"I'll talk to him." More like yell at via text, but details.

Lucy kept her head panning around to either end of the shelves to see if anyone was coming, quietly making her way to the nearest door with her sister in tow.

"...no, it wasn't like yours." Luna didn't appear with a bamf sound effect, either, but Lucy didn't mention that.

Luna easily kept step with Lucy, if only because she wasn't going to risk having the older girl let her go.

"So for all we know whatever he does won't work for me at all!"

She was a little frustrated.

Surprising no one, Lucy was still terrible at mediating conflicts. She got just as agitated and indignant as her sister, wrenching the door open with more force than was strictly necessary.

"Do you have any other ideas?"

The door led to the office wing, along with the employee lockers and the time recorder pad for clocking out. There was also one of her coworkers there, close enough that he narrowly avoided being socked in the face with the door. He was taller than both of them, his nametag read Simon, and he was understandably a bit startled by their sudden appearance.

Shit.

"Family emergency," Lucy grumbled, tugging on her sister's arm again.

Luna groaned. "If I did, I wouldn't still be teleporting all over the city like some kind of bad cartoon!" She snapped back as Lucy tugged the door open and dang that guy was tall.

"Uh, yeah, sorry." She let go of Lucy's arm, mostly out of surprise. "I didn't meant to stop by it was kind of an acci-"

Suddenly swirling dark energy filled with shimmering crystalline light swept up around her and she vanished. A few seconds later, from back out in the warehouse, came a very annoyed noise.

"OH COME ON!"

That light again; Lucy flinched and pulled forwards, but there was nothing there. Her head darted around in alarm when Luna vanished—only to scowl once she heard her sister's voice. She didn't say another word to her coworker, rushing back into the warehouse to find where her sister had gone.

Poor confused Simon.

Sorry Simon.

Lucy would find Luna sitting on top of a pallet of something or other about ten feet off the ground, looking like she might cry.

She just gave her sister a little wave when she spotted her.

By the time she spotted movement, Lucy was slightly less disgruntled. Slightly. She walked over to the stack Luna was sitting on, already aware that she was out of range.

"Can you get down from there?"

She looked around at the pallet. It was pretty smooth and wrapped in plastic.

"I...can try but I doubt it."

A lot of her usual energy seemed to be gone now.

That was...a little worrying. Normally Luna had about as much energy as a superball.

"I can catch you if you jump."

Lucy didn't outwardly move, but a distortion rose up from between her shoulders. The vector stopped right at two meters, hovering idly in the air well below Luna's feet.

She was just frustrated, probably. Or feeling a bit defeated.

She eyed the hand for a few seconds. Well. Last time she'd seen those, Lucy had been kind of threatening. But...still.

She sucked in a breath and pushed off the pallet to try and land on the hand.

One hurdle passed, at least. The vector was immediately joined by three others as Luna jumped, spectral fingers spread out to catch her. Their grip wasn't the most gentle, and they felt strange, like solid, humming air as they grabbed onto the girl's shoulders.

Once secure, they didn't stop Luna's fall, but slowed it until the smaller girl could just step down onto the ground again.

"Are you alright?" Lucy asked.

This was definitely weird, and she held perfectly still, eyes a bit wide until she could just let her feet hit the ground. Okay. Solid ground.

"That was weird," she said with a little grin...before stepping forward to take Lucy's hand again, and after a second gave a shrug.

"I'm just tired. I haven't been in the same place for more than fifteen minutes all day."

There, safe and...sort of sound. Seeing Luna smile again, if briefly, put a little of Lucy's mind at ease.

...but she still didn't know what the fuck to do. The most she could do was guess.

"Do you think you can get home?"

Luna shrugged. "Maybe? I mean...okay, so I guess eventually I'll have to end up there, right?"

She should've been learning to control her power but it was kind of terrifying.
