Narrative/Video

It had been far too long now. Over five days since he had last heard anything from The Dreamfinder. His own magics had shown that the man was not even in Main Street! An enormous danger to all of them but more so to Blair himself. As it was, even the Mirror Portal had begun to malfunction without it's builder to maintain it.

A quiet inquiry had been sent out through the Land, to be on the look out for The Dreamfinder. Any news was to be sent straight to Merlin or Hades...none had come. Which was why he now sat at his table, staring at his own small communication mirror.

There was evidence of the old walkway to Tiki Oasis having been used. No one had used it since the Oasis had become the Dark Jungles. Whatever survivors having been the last ones through ages ago. It was a rather long shot but, Merlin had nothing else to go on.

~~~~***~~~~

[The video turns on to show a very grumpy looking Merlin.]

I am calling all Sorcerer's Apprentices that are currently with in the Magic Kingdoms. I am afraid I have rather worrisome news.

[He rubs the bridge of his nose.]

It seems that The Dreamfinder, has gone missing. I am assuming it has been of his own power but, as he is still a new Kingdom Spirit, and the last Kingdom Spirit, I am afraid he will find himself in great danger.

So I am asking for volunteers. I need to send you out into the Dark Jungles to find the Dreamfinder or else the last beat of imagination this place has will be snuffed out and everything we have been working towards will be destroyed.

[His voice grew far more grim.]

That includes your own worlds. If The Corrosion destroys Main Street, then there is nothing left between it and your worlds. And...once it leaves the Kingdoms- it can not be stopped. If you wish to volunteer please, let me know.

The fate of Imagination is in your hands, Apprentices. Do with that, what you will.

Don't ask? C'mon! That's the only thing I want to ask about! Don't leave me hanging, girl!

[Seriously, it's been FOREVER since she had some good gossip of any kind that didn't involve ridiculous celebrity name drops]

Aw shit I forgot about that one. I never liked 'em anyway.

[bigbadrose]

Jimmy Stone is an idiot, who is arrested in pretty much every other universe for too many drugs, and too little common sense. He wasn't talented, and I was very young and naive and believed if I just clapped my hands and believed in him hard enough, he would make it big and fulfill all our dreams, and I was just desperate to get away from my Mum, and young enough to be taken in by any angle of the London underground scene.

I was covering his rent and workin' two jobs so he could practice all day, but he went off and got engaged to a woman named Noosh in Norway. Everything bad happens to me in Norway.

His band never could decide on a genre either. I was an idiot enough to think that was just because they were on the cutting edge of creating a whole new genre unknown to everyone at the time. After a few months, it got obvious that they were just too busy partying to actually commit to practice and not really good enough to pull off grunge, punk, rock, death metal, or anything else.

Sting really wrote some weird stuff, huh? I still don't get the metaphors in Kiss From a Rose on the Grey. No wait. Was that Seal? Argh whatever. The Beatles are better.

[az_shrimp_horny]

[Are you her? Seriously? Though she just has one question:]

What the fuck kind of name is Noosh?

[She laughs]

Hey don't sweat it. We've all dated some trash before. I mean, I hooked up with a freegan before. Now there was a literal trash guy.

[She makes a face at the thoughts about music.]

Yeah I don't know. I've never been a classic rock girl. Give me a Rihanna concert any day.

[bigbadrose]

Did you really? [Griiiiiiiiiins.]

[She hasn't been this tickled since Derek's windchime dick.]

[Giggles and shakes her head.] Ah, I couldn't keep up with American pop much at all. It was 2005 when I met the Doctor and my personal timeline got a bit mad from there. My best friend Jack though, you'd love him, he would always get so excited about bands no one had ever heard of, and he was like "But they're from your time!!" He's from the 51st century, but his pop culture knowledge is really spotty. Hilarious though. But he's a big Beyonce fan. And that's the only one he liked I'd ever heard of.

[az_shrimp_horny]

Oh I so did. It's a good thing he was a good lay because I was so not letting him take me out for dinner.

[Trash bag. Right here.]

2005? Geez I don't think I really even remember that year. I was probably wasted beyond belief most of the time.

Beyonce is pretty cool, but she's too classy for me.

[bigbadrose]

I'll bet! [Giggles!] And here I thought the Doctor was cheap for never carrying money.

Although, we have gone junkyard diving for parts... you know what? Forget I said anything!

Okay, you have to be the first person I have ever heard say that about Beyonce. Not disagreeing with you, just a little surprised.

[az_shrimp_horny]

The Doctor? You mean that weird old guy that talks to horses?

[She shrugs.]

What can I say? I'm an Arizona trash bag.

[bigbadrose]

That's one of him. There's another one who plays the recorder and is a fairy of chaos. It's less gay than it sounds, but not by a lot.

The older one is my best friend though. He's roomies with Michael, and I pretty much always run away to him. Old habits die hard. He was a lot younger when I first met him, but not as young as the Chaos one.

[az_shrimp_horny]

...

Wait wait wait did you just say there was two of him?

[bigbadrose]

It gets weirder.

[az_shrimp_horny]

Dare I ask?

[bigbadrose]

No. It's difficult to understand even a good day, and right now it'd just convince you nothing I said was real.

Just know that the older one is my best friend, and Michael's roommate. And the younger one plays recorder.

[az_shrimp_horny]

Got it. Saving the weird shit for later.

Wait, do you mean recorder like the shit we play in elementary school?

[bigbadrose]

Yes. [Nod nod.]

He played Twinkle Twinkle Little Star like 27 times at the first party we all had, and that was how I knew he couldn't be anyone else.

So you can see why I don't find Michael weird. My perspective has forever been trashed by the Doctor.

[az_shrimp_horny]

See... If I was here I'd have taken that thing and hidden it on him. No one should have to deal with that. That's almost worse than jazz.

And yeah I get what you mean.

[bigbadrose]

Aw, don't do that, he's sweet! Although I like jazz, so... [Shrug!]

[az_shrimp_horny]

Ah, well, we were bound to find something to disagree on eventually.

[bigbadrose]

Yeah. [Laughs.] At least it's just jazz and not something serious. Like fishnet stockings. Then we couldn't be friends. [This is a joke, Rose has no feelings on them one way or another of course.]

[az_shrimp_horny]

Wait wait wait. I've got one: margaritas, yes or no?

[bigbadrose]

Obviously yes. Though I'll usually go for whiskey sours, because I mean London... you're not gonna get good cheap tequila. But oh man, when I worked in New Vegas? Their full moons were to die for.

And Jack and I would just do vodka most of the time, but he never let me try hypervodka. Probably for the best.
