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.))

Oh yeah? And what cool something did you turn into?

[ why, that whole individual is black and white. anne stares unabashedly as she passes him near the fountain. ]

[markofthebrave]

[Just this look as you go walking down the street, man.]

Only one of the greatest film stars of all time.

[monochromehero.livejournal.com]

Excuse me, miss. [Up comes this handsome monochrome gentleman.] I could use some directions.

[monochromehero.livejournal.com]

[Well, she's technically too young for him. At least like this. BUT NO MATTER. He flashes her a smile.]

Hello there. How's today treating you?

[markofthebrave]

[Better than you right now, buddy.]

Uh... fine. Just... who are you supposed to be? And why are you black and white?

[oldvienna.livejournal.com]

[ she smiles most graciously. today, her wardrobe is at least toned down to the kind of tight-laced victoriana that anne can usually be seen in -- simply with a higher quality fabric. ]

I would be quite pleased to give you whatever help I could.

[monochromehero.livejournal.com]

Call me Flynn. Errol Flynn. [He needs an excuse. Um.] I seem to have misplaced my coloration.

[monochromehero.livejournal.com]

Oh, perfect. It seems I've become lost in your eyes.

[Oh, well done, Kurt. Masterfully done. He'd pat himself on the bac k if he could.]

[markofthebrave]

[She has no idea who that is.]

Do you want me to call you Flynn or Errol Flynn? [Maybe he's a New Feather?]

...and how can you 'misplace your coloration?'

[You make no sense.]

[monochromehero.livejournal.com]

I'm happy with Flynn. As for my colors, well, it's complicated. [Something about televisions.] But you're all the color I need.

[markofthebrave]

Your hair is yellow when it's colored, isn't it.

[ anne would normally wrinkle her nose at a line like this; however, she has a sworn duty to be as cordelia-like as possible. ]

I'm not aware of any map known to man that could help you with that particular predicament, sir.

[monochromehero.livejournal.com]

It's bl- [Oh wait, he's Flynn. His hair color is-] brown. A dark brown. I wish you could see it.

[monochromehero.livejournal.com]

What map could? I'd rather have a guide.

[oldvienna.livejournal.com]

I might be able to find a guide for you, Mister...?

[monochromehero.livejournal.com]

I think I've already found one, yeah? [He gestures for her hand.] May I?

[oldvienna.livejournal.com]

[ she laughs, happily -- there may be something familiar about that laugh.

anne takes his hand. ]

[monochromehero.livejournal.com]

My name is Flynn. Errol Flynn. [It is familiar. Nevertheless, he takes her hand and plants a kiss on the back of it.] May I ask your name?

[oldvienna.livejournal.com]

[ she delivers the title with all the pomp and presence of a girl unaware that she is delivering it to the one person in luceti who actually uses it instead of her real name: ] Lady Cordelia.

[monochromehero.livejournal.com]

[... he knows that name. He realized quickly enough that this must be Anne. Well, isn't this a twist? Well far be it from him to ruin this for her.]

A pleasure to meet you, Lady Cordelia. It's okay to just call you, Cordelia, yeah? [... and sometimes he slips into his old speech patterns. Oops.]

[oldvienna.livejournal.com]

[ a lady should be aloof, yes? so anne aims for an imperious glance (that comes off as very theatrical and possibly a little endearing. like a dog playing poker.) ]

I suppose that would be acceptable.

[monochromehero.livejournal.com]

Cordelia it is. [Another brief peck on her knuckles and he releases her hand.]

Have you been in Luceti long?

[markofthebrave]

[Sure it is.

And aren't you full of yourself? She's got better things to do than hang around here.]

Look - are you new here? Do you need any help?
