Huh. A cute kid with cat ears... Where had Setsuna seen this before...?

In the library, a man sat crossed-legged on the floor of the 'History' section. He laughed maniacally as he tore pages out of various different books, chucking them behind his head after he'd finished. He would rip out a chunk of pages, then throw the book. Rinse, repeat.
'Woo-Hoo!'
He raised his hands in the air as he cheered. He wore a baseball cap tilted to the left, and seemed oddly muscular and well-trained for a lunatic.
He said, as he slid his hands along a shelf, knocking at least 10 more books on to the floor.
He was really being quite loud for someone who was in a library.

Anddd back to not showing any sympathy. "I apologize if you expect me to show sympathy to a lying and conniving thief, because I'll inform you right now that that won't be happening," she stated. It appeared that Reece had no qualms in being blunt.. Which, if he were here, was something Gilgamesh probably well knew by now. Hell, even Iskander could probably catch onto that fact pretty darn quick. It was rather obvious, after all. She really hadn't been kidding when she'd said she couldn't tell a lie, it seemed...
Well, at least she'd gotten him to shut up with the money. She sighed in relief, seeming incredibly glad that the man no longer had any need for trying to deceive her or her company. "Good for you," the Sybil commented, politely and calmly. However, she was rather annoyed that the man hadn't thanked her for her little tip. "And you're welcome," she added, annoyance probably tinging her voice. What was with this guy, anyways? Did he have any sense of decency? Well, even one small glance at him screamed 'no'.
What he did next only reinforced that.
Now, Reece's annoyance became much more obvious. She didn't have tolerance for people like this. "Oh, would you shut your ungrateful piehole? Jerk," she muttered, obviously aggravated and rubbed up the wrong way by this man. However, with what happened next, the annoyance turned to horror. Instantly, Reece's eyes went wide with alarm, and her heart practically leapt with terror. She managed to stop the tissue using her telekinesis right before it could directly touch her... But that didn't change her horror. It.. I-it almost.. T-touched me... Oh, no. Here we go. It got close enough for me to breathe in the germs...
Oh, boy, was Thenardier lucky that Reece was too caught up in her disgust and horror to do anything about what he'd just pulled. Instead, she hurriedly and frantically used her telekinesis to guide the tissue to the nearest trash can... Before proceeding to scream internally.
But, hey - looked like she was in luck! Thank God for the weird stranger with the odd screwdriver that showed up. She didn't know how he did it, but she suddenly felt much cleaner. That was definitely nice, and she seemed to unfreeze, losing her look of absolute horror and disgust. Phew. Much better. Clearing her throat once again, the Sybil did her best to pretend nothing had happened. Psh, she wasn't afraid of a little filth!... Okay, that wasn't true, but she could still pretend she hadn't been bothered.. Right?
"It's quite alright. And.. Thank you," she replied, offering a small smile. She wasn't sure just who this man was, but at least he was pleasant... And clean. That was good. So, she seemed less than bothered when he began to go on - in fact, she actually seemed genuinely interested in what he was saying. After all, she loved learning, so she was more than happy to hear out and listen intently to his speech. So, when he finished his explanation, Reece nodded contently. "I see. Interesting.. But I don't believe I've heard of Time Lords before, nor have I heard of this.. 'Doctor'. Or the Daleks," she mused, thoughtfully.
Oh. Right. Introductions.
Pleasantly, Reece outstretched her hand to the Master, still smiling slightly. "Of course. I'm Reece. Reece Duchannes. Pleasure to meet you.. 'Master'." Well, that was really weird to say. Granted, she wasn't fond of the discussion of the earlier fighting, considering that she didn't like fights when they weren't necessary.
"I don't like fighting, either."

Both children were both confused and disturbed. What was this guys deal? What even is an America? And his voice...it sounded like he was trying to swallow marbles! "Trunks!" Goten, the younger of the two boys, whispered into his friend's ear "I think he's was one of those crazies you Mom was telling us about!"
The lightshow didn't seem to be fazing Murdock. In fact, he pointed at them and laughed. 'Woo-Hoo! It's like one of them 3-D movies! Is like the kids are really there 'n front of me! It's like real life!'Both children were both confused and disturbed. What was this guys deal? What even is an America? And his voice...it sounded like he was trying to swallow marbles! "Trunks!" Goten, the younger of the two boys, whispered into his friend's ear "I think he's was one of those crazies you Mom was telling us about!"
"Don't be such a worrier, Goten! Just look at this guy! He's barely strong enough to pull apart those books, let alone cause any read harm. Not to us, not to anybody" The half Saiyan broke out into laughter "He does appear to be having some fun though"
"That's not what a mean, Trunks! What's Mom going to say when she finds out we've been talking to strangers?"
"Ha! You're Mom can be kinda scary, and that's coming from someone as brave as me!" He flung his arms around his younger friend. "But you can't let yourself fear her forever! Now, let's have some fun!" A strange light began to swarm the older Half Saiyan Hybrid, near blinding in strength. "How about we prove to this guy that we're not who he thinks we are?"
"You mean we're gunna..."
"Yes sir-ee"
"Score!" Goten screamed, as he too developed a strong Ki field
"Hey, nut-case! Can your 'America' do this?"
And with that, both boys went Super-Saiyan
"This isn't even our full power, loser!" Trunks cried, creating a L shape with his right hand against his head
"Yeah, a loser!" Following his friends example, Goten too tried to mock the madman. The youngest boy, however, used the wrong hand, creating a backwards L shape with his fingers
"Goten! Now your just showing me up, idiot! You use your right hand!"
"S-s-sorry Trunks..." He began fumbling with his fingers, making a variety of different shapes in front of his torso. "Errr, Trunks...which hand if my right hand?"
"Oh, just forget it...the moments gone..."
@libary
"Errrm, Trunks? Didn't he already say that?" Goten whispered, pulling on his friends shoulder. As if he didn't already ahev enough to be confused about, what with all the creepy aliens and giant monkeys he had seen on his way in, and now some strange southern man repeating himself
'It's like the movie's actually talkin' to me!'"Errrm, Trunks? Didn't he already say that?" Goten whispered, pulling on his friends shoulder.

"Listen up, Mr! Are you crazy or just plain stupid? We are real, 110%"
"That's a big number Trunks, are you sure?"
"Yes! I'M SURE THAT I'M REAL!"
The older half Saiyan let out a sigh. "Just stop trying to show me up, alright"
"Okay..." Goten shrugged his shoulders and slumped his spine, sulking
"Fine! If it cheers you up, we can....errrr...go to gift shop before we leave?"
"OH BOY!!! THE GIFT SHOP!!!"
"Tee-hee" the orange Gi-ed boy sniggered "Trunks knows all about playing stupid!" He was almost instantly met with a slap across the back of the head "Hey! That really hurt!"'It's like the movie's actually talkin' to me!'
said Murdock, a smile forming across his face.
I ain't crazy!
After all, yer' gotta be smart to play stupid!'
@Cromartie Sarkissian
The party had begun.
Young Ilona could be found near the stage, swinging back and forth on a Christmas decoration like a little monkey. While her frantic mother, Elsa, tried to make the girl mind her manners.
"S-Stop this at once! This isn't how a young princess should behave!"
"Fret not, dear mother! For I do this in the name of fun~!"
Elsa wiggled a finger at her daughter. "As if that makes it any better!"
Joshua stood under the mistletoe, waiting forvictimssomething to happen.
"Ah, Christmas, an over-extravagant holiday, yes, but still it's filled with so many... opportunities."
@Anyone
"COMING THROUGH, PRINCESS ILONA~!"
From the ceiling, the blue-haired Morgan swung down on one of the decorations, screaming with joy as her ride began to arc and swing upwards, "ALL IS GOOD IF IT'S IN THE NAME OF FUN! WE'VE HAD ENOUGH PAIN IN THESE GAMES, IT'S TIME FOR FUN ONES, YOUR MAJESTY!"
"Oh boy... It seems Morgan truly does have that teenage spirit..." Robin muttered as he watched from afar before walking away from his daughter's antics. There wasn't like there was much he could do to stop her anyways, so he felt no regrets as he walked over to Ballroom A and grabbed the green drink, "Well, at least the drinks will be fine..."
Oh, how wrong he was about to proven...
@Klutzy Ninja Kitty @The Great Detective
Ah, December, the one month out of the year where joy is in the air and those who are enemies or squabblers put aside their differences and enjoy the holiday season together. Maybe Carl Grimes and Arya Stark would stop being so down in the dumps. Kyon might not complain as much. Perhaps Papyrus would try cooking special holiday spaghetti instead of normal spaghetti. For once maybe you'd see Cloud and Sephiroth get along. Maybe you'd even see The Doctor and The Master having a little fun together. Gnar would probably wear the most adorable holiday outfit you ever could imagine, leading around his holly jolly kitten army. Erika might carry around a roll of candy cane printed duct tape. You'd probably catch Rildey kissing Santa Claus. And maybe, just maybe , Growleth would be kind enough not to bite Ike's hand. Lastly, you picture that finally Joshua and Teresa may stop bickering for a change.
Haha, scratch that last one. Like that'd ever happen.
Lately, you noticed that The Multiverse Hotel seemed busier than normal. You would see more and more guests piling in, Prinnies running about carrying boxes of decorations, and a feeling of holiday spirit in the air. For the past week, the ballrooms had been off limits--as the hotel staff began to prep it for their annual Multiverse Hotel Christmas Party. And, oddly enough the gardens had been off limits too. You hear rumors floating about that the gardens will be involved in the Christmas festivities as well, but you haven't a clue. After all, you're simply a guest. But you knew the rumors would soon come to an end; today was the day the party was set to begin!
Early in the afternoon, around 3pm, no matter where you were in hotel--even if you were just arriving--you would hear an announcement bellow over the loudspeaker.
Attention all guests, the Multiverse Hotel's annual Holiday celebration is about to begin! If you will be participating in this year's events please head down to our ballrooms and join us!
If you just so happen to be one of the guests interested in attending their celebration, you begin to make your way down to the ballrooms. Along the way, you are greeted by a beautiful assortment of christmas trees, ribbons, lights, candles, and many other gorgeous holiday additions to the wonderful hotel.
Once you arrive in front of the designated party rooms, you make your way inside and notice that quite the crowd had already begun to arrive. The room is as festive and cheerful as the decorated hallways are. A band is standing on the stage at the front playing soft christmas music.
As the music plays, you notice a young woman walk out on stage. The music then stops for a moment, and the woman takes a microphone from one of the singers so she can address the crowd.
"Merry Christmas, one and all! The Multiverse Hotel thanks you for attending our holiday party this year! My name is Queen Elsa, and I'll be aiding with the ice skating competition to be held this evening--along with announcing all of our events. If you are interested in participating in any of our events please see our list of entertainment for the evening that can be found in the doorway of this room. Thanks again for coming, and I will now turn your attention over to Donnie, our DJ for the evening."
"Thanks, your royal highness. Donnie here, bringing you all your favorite Christmas hits. Tonight, we'll be bringing you everyone's favorite holiday tune, Here Comes Santa Claus, all night. It'll be a non-stop marathon, people, so I hope all of you enjoy--"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, we are not doing this again. I'm not feeling it. I don't wanna do this, but you've forced my hand. I'm just gonna have to take over."
A much taller man, clearly bigger than the little elf who was working as a DJ, suddenly hopped on the stage. He wrestled with the little elf for a moment, eventually tossing him away from the DJ equipment. "This event is a part of the Murder Games Community, is it not? We aren't going to listen to some repetitive crap all night, are we? No! We're gonna rock all night and cluck like the chickens we are until sunrise!"
The track of music the man selected begins to play...
...and you realize the party is beginning.
Hanging in the doorway is a list detailing where all of the main party locations and events can be found.
Main Locations
Ballroom A - The main party area. There is dancing going on nearby the stage where DJ Donnie and a live band are set up. Tables and a banquet table are set up for anyone interested in partaking in a Christmas feast. A drink table can also be seen, full of mysterious drinks to try.
Ballroom B - Take a photograph with Santa Claus! Free to anyone interested!
The Gardens - Full of many beautiful winter themed decorations, the gardens a great place to have a snowball fight, play in the snow, go ice skating, or go on a sleigh ride, or take a walk.
* note: All other Multiverse Hotel locations are available as well, but these selected locations are mainly for this event.
Events
Mysterious Drinks - in Ballroom A, next to the feasting tables, there is a table full of mysterious drinks to try. There is a red & white drink, a green drink, a blue drink, a silver drink, a gold drink, a red drink, and a white drink.
(ooc: This is the traditional potion game of the Murder Series. Drinking a potion will make something happen to your character, whether it be good, bad or strange. The effects will at least last three days in real life time (not IC time), but you can make them last for as long as you like if you want to play with them longer. You may only take one potion at a time, but you may take another after the effects of your current potion wear off if you would like. There are unlimited amounts of each potion. To participate, be sure to tag me and in-character please bold and underline which potion you choose to take so that I may activate your event.)
The White Elephant Gift Exchange - Near the door of Ballroom A you see a sign-up list to participate in the hotel's white elephant gift exchange, and a basket to place your gift in.
(ooc: To participate in the white elephant gift exchange please tag me, bold and underline your action in-character saying you signed up for the white elephant party, and find a picture of a gift idea. It can be something funny, cool, silly, weird, anything! But PM me this picture and tell me what your gift is--don't tell anyone else! Then, after everyone has PMed me their pictures / gifts, in-character I will randomly tag a few people a day and give their character a gift in the roleplay out of that selection I received. The character will then be given the option to keep their current gift, or steal a gift from someone who has previously opened one. The event will begin December 8th so if you are interested in participating please sign up before then.)
Ice Skating Races - Near the Gardens you will see a sign-up list to participate in the hotel's Ice Skating Race. If you sign up, a Prinny servant will aid you in finding a pair of skates to use, and you will be allowed a short amount of time to practice skating before the racing begins.
(ooc: This will be a dice event. The race will be run in a 1 v.s. 1 format. When two characters are called to race, they each will roll a dice in-character. The character who rolled the higher number will be the winner of the race. All of the winners of the first round will have matches against the other winners. This will keep going until only one person stands victor. There will be prizes for first, second, and third place. If you are interested in taking part in this event, please tag me and in-character bold and underline your action saying that you signed up for the ice skating races. This event will begin December 5th, so if you are interested in participating please sign up before then.)
Holly Jolly Scavenger Hunt! - Outside of Ballroom B a flyer can be seen posted on the wall, advertising for a scavenger hunting game. Little information is given on the scavenger hunt, and you're unsure what entirely you must do for it. Small lettering on the bottom of the flyer reads: "Sign your name at the bottom of the list and I'll come to find you when I'm ready to start this fun filled holiday... er... game."
(ooc: If you're interested in participating, as always, bold and underline your action in-character saying you signed up for the scavenger hunt. This event will begin on December 11th, and instructions will be given when it is time for it to begin."
[/hr]
ooc: Thank you everyone for participating in this Christmas event! Anything that is labeled an event is something you must tag me to partake in, but otherwise this event will be mostly self-run, meaning it will be up to you to entertain yourselves with interactions rather than waiting for the GM to move the roleplay along. This will be a very casual, relaxing event. I hope you all enjoy it and have a wonderful holiday season! Cheers~
