Elf - [Action/Voice]

[bamfing]

[Having already determined the village is full of people in the wrong shapes, Kurt wasn't all that surprised to find himself in a new body. Sure, the five fully functional fingers was new. And walking without his tail as a counterbalance was just surreal. And how on earth did people walk on their heels. No, really, the fact that really shocked him was that his entire body was monochrome. Sure, maybe his favorite actor had always been in black and white movies, but this was just... a little odd.

Nevertheless, he decides to set out and make good use of his new form. Particularly, of course, by going out and charming women with his oh-so-obviously attractive new (old) features. So if you're a pretty girl (and hopefully not too young), you'll have his attention. Or if you're just someone he knows, he'll want to show off. Later on, while having a drink (non-alcoholic!) at Good Spirit, he'll make a voice message.]

So did anyone else actually turn into something cool during this experiment?

((Replies from monochromehero. Yes, he's now Errol Flynn. 4th wall that as you will.))

[He in turn leans in to whisper back:]

I suppose it cannot be helped. She must be envious of your beauty.

[ one flutter of her eyelashes and a serious case of flushed cheeks later: ] Are you always this fresh with the women you meet in the square, Mister Flynn?

[He leans back and brushes away some invisible dust from his other sleeve. A moment later, he sets his gaze back on her with one of those irresistible smiles that work so better when only your upper lip is fuzzy.]

Only when there's one lovely enough that I can't resist.

[ haruhi had warned anne against this kind of treatment, hadn't she? then again, as far as anne is concerned? she's no longer anne shirley. ]

Tell me about where you're from, Mister Flynn.

[stupidsuzumiya.livejournal.com]

On what planet?

[Voice]

[monochromehero.livejournal.com]

Earth.

[Wait...] They turned you back to normal, Haruki?

[monochromehero.livejournal.com]

Have you ever heard of Hollywood, Lady Cordelia?

[oldvienna.livejournal.com]

Is that near Truro?

[monochromehero.livejournal.com]

California, actually. The western end of the United States. Home of the silver screen.

[Voice]

[stupidsuzumiya.livejournal.com]

Don't be an idiot.

[oldvienna.livejournal.com]

Oh -- America. [ is there just the slightest hint of genuine snobbery there? she's canadian. it's in her blood. idk. ] And...a whole screen made of silver? It must be worth a lot.

[Voice]

[monochromehero.livejournal.com]

[Well it TALKS like Haruki.]

... still Haruhi inside, huh? Sorry.

[Voice]

[stupidsuzumiya.livejournal.com]

No.

[monochromehero.livejournal.com]

[He laughs at that, but not in an insulting manner.] Not quite. They are moving pictures. Much like our very own journals, but rather than for communication, we record stage shows for the whole world to be able to watch.

[Voice]

[monochromehero.livejournal.com]

So who are you?

[oldvienna.livejournal.com]

Oh! [ she looks a little gleeful to be understanding -- thanks, kurt. ] Films. [ she pronounces it like 'fil-ums'. and claps her hand a few times. ]

[Voice]

[stupidsuzumiya.livejournal.com]

[markofthebrave]

Oh! [She gets it now! Sort of.] Does it feel weird?

[monochromehero.livejournal.com]

Totally! But not as weird as having no tail. I used to wonder how you guys managed it!

[monochromehero.livejournal.com]

Yes, exactly. If only there was a local theater to show you one of my own films. [... you know, maybe he shouldn't be suggesting he actually IS the real Errol Flynn. Fortunately, a certain barmaid returns with their order.]

[Voice]

[monochromehero.livejournal.com]

... ahh, I see. [A beat. Well, he can't exactly flirt with her like this, so...]

It's me, Kurt.

[markofthebrave]

[Actually peering a little around him now to see - yup, no tail.]

Huh. So who is this guy they made you look like?

[monochromehero.livejournal.com]

Errol Flynn, a famous actor. He used to star in a lot of black and white movies. Which is why.... yeah. [Clearly Kurt should have watched more stuff in color.]

[markofthebrave]

Movies? ...Oh! Those are those talking pictures, right? I've heard about them.

[She.. still doesn't get why you turned into an actor, but whatever.]

[monochromehero.livejournal.com]

Exactly! I guess you could say this guy was kind of like a hero to me, even if it was just acting...
