[She appears on the network wearing a pair of white cat ears, brandishing a sort of princess wand, which she uses for emphasis as she talks]

Hey. Name's Miu, I'm an actress, and I'm here to tell you that if I see a single one of you wearing a spooky monster costume that ends up stuck in said costume and/or acting more and more like the monster come Halloween, I will beat you with this princess wand.

Don't do it. Stick to cute or easy costumes and stay away from those stupid ugly masks! I've seen enough movies to know that's a stupid idea and if you do it anyway I get the exclusive right to say 'I told you so!' super mockingly next month.

[She clears her throat and sits back] Now then, the important question:

Sexy angel, or sexy cat? I can't decide if I like the idea of having wings more, or a cute tail and ears.

[She looks between two generic costumes like it's the most important and confounding decision of her life.]

Comments

[blackwaterchild]

[ho don't do it]

Oh, I didn't even think of mixing them together. [She hums, looking a bit pleased about it]

Hopefully if we're all smart about this, Halloween can pass without incident.

[icanfixer]

Do thee truly think that something terrible may befall us? Though I admit, there has been a pattern since I had arrived so long ago now that follows such! That said, should any monsters appear, thee need only call forth Don Quixote and I shall take care of them at once!!!

[ lot of confidence from this babyfaced girl ]

1/2

[blackwaterchild]

[okay looks there's like.

There's a lot happening here. Miu isn't sure which one to address first.]

[blackwaterchild]

Why are you talking like that?

How do you manage to speak out loud in cursive?

[Miu has been (un?)fortunate enough to miss or ignore how Don Quixote speaks before this time.]

Your name is Don Quixote?

[icanfixer]

That is how I am called, yes! Hmhm, it certainly does wonders for ones' esteem to be known before they have listed their deeds as a knight ought...!

[ haha. no, she's had the same experience a few times before, she's aware there's someone else sharing the name... ]

As for my manner of speech, is there something unusual about it? I have noticed some have trouble with it from time to time, but never have I heard it described so pleasantly!!!

[ cursive... cute ]

[blackwaterchild]

That's-- [She pauses and seems to give up immediately, deciding this was not worth getting into. Nope. She will pick her battles.]

You speak very... Much. [It's A Lot. All of her is A Lot.]

What do you mean by 'knight'? Like, are you a knight? [Miu immediately eyes Don Quixote's clothes curiously, trying to see if there's some Medieval Knight Influence there or something, since that's her only reference to a knight]

[icanfixer]

[ there is absolutely no influence there, for don's become fond of the casual clothes offered by the city and truly just looks like a normal... perhaps teenage girl given her rounded face... but i promise, she is older. even if she was in uniform there would be no evidence of knighthood but the cat pawprint sweater isn't helping. ]

Of a sort! We Fixers are heroic knights of the City from which we hail, fighting valiantly on the side of justice, of the weak, to right every wrong and bring succor to those in need! Is that not knightly?

[blackwaterchild]

[Those are all definitely words, but somehow put together Miu fails to understand them.

She frowns, brow furrowing a little.]

What's a 'Fixer'? [Besides the obvious idea that they're fixing something.] What are you supposed to be fixing?

[icanfixer]

Injustice!

[ like it's obvious. ]

[blackwaterchild]

[deadpan:] Oh yeah, sure, of course.

So do you just bash stuff on the head until it stops, or...

[icanfixer]

[ wow, this girl's really in the know. ]

That is correct. We "fix" the problems of the City and thus are called Fixers. Would thee like to join us?

[ squires always on hire ]

[blackwaterchild]

[She stares for a moment, like she can't tell if Don Quixote is being serious or not.

In the end she sighs, shrugging and shaking her head] Sure, why not. What do I have to do? Are there matching t-shirts or something?

[icanfixer]

Nay, one may wear what they should like -- thee need only heed the call of those weaker, more frightened, and so on when the time arises. It matters little if one can fight, though I can teach that as well; it matters more that one does not ignore those who cannot help themselves. Do thee understand?

[ don can get them matching shirts though if she wants ]
