Elf - [Action/Voice]


[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 [livejournal.com profile] monochromehero. Yes, he's now Errol Flynn. 4th wall that as you will.))

[ she aims for an encouraging smile. ] But we promised, the both of us, to keep up our studies. It does not make him any less insufferable.

Gilbert and I tied for first at the Charlottetown exams, but I won the Avery. [ she is very proud of herself. ] But the scale is so different, here...there are some very strong students at Luceti's school.

Oh? [ this is a welcome distraction from discussing gilbert. ] Did you have a favourite subject?

I liked the field trips best. [ which were literally trips to a field, in her case. ]

[ laughing in spite of her lack of knowledge. ] Kurt, I don't even know what a snowmobile is.

I have heard about patents in Germany and America for propelled vehicles; however, I've seen no such thing in Avonlea or in Charlottetown.

[ brb trying to imagine a mechanized horse and sleigh. ]

They must come in handy during the inclement weather -- but, yes...your friend was probably very fortunate to have so lavish a field-trip. We tended to walk down to the stream and collect wild flowers, leaves, and empty bird nests.

We would have competitions to see who could bring back the most kinds.

Is it in--indecorous of me to answer yes?

[ darn wine. messing with her wordage. ]

I mean only that I would truly hate to seem vain. I know I have an awful habit of it -- when I was younger a guest of the Hammonds complimented me on the turn of my nose and I have simply been unable to let it go ever since. A girl with freckles like these must cling to whatever achievements she can afford, you know. Though Marilla tells me that it's awful wicked.

[ and what just happened to the world? anne briefly feels her stomach churn like that afternoon matthew had taken her out on choppy seas in the gulf. she had then gripped the wooden, paint-chipped edge of the boat as the waves had tossed the both of them about. the association is not altogether unpleasant; after all, it is one of her fonder memories of the man who had become her father.

now she clings to kurt's arm instead -- blinking to adjust to this new lighting. ]
Heavens. [ her shoulders rise and fall with her breath. adrenaline pumps through her system...what was that? how did he...? ]

That...Kurt, where's the table?

[ anne's free hand crunches coldly on snow beneath her. she doesn't mind the chill but is only surprised to feel it where moments ago there was none. she is still working on recovering a somewhat regular breathing pattern. to go from a village where horse-drawn carriages are the norm to being 'ported' is quite the leap. to put it lightly? a plane would have amazed her. you can imagine what something like this does to her her imagination. ]

I must say that you have a spectacular method of avoiding your rivals. [ there is still a slightly worn, ragged joy to her voice. like a country girl stepping off her first roller-coaster. ]
