Effie Goes to Hollywood
[Sometime midmorning or so, Effie Trinket finds herself surrounded by droids in the front garden.
They don't need to get rough with her.]
FINALLY!
[She grins in satisfaction and goes willingly, soon finding herself marching through the village with a phalanx of droids escorting her along.There is a million-dollar smile on her face the whole way. Finally, her hard work and image have paid off in Luceti. Finally, the Malnosso Organization is giving her a place. It's good to be back in a skyrocketing career arc.]
*** Feel free to have characters speak to Effie on her way out. The droids are taking her at a leisurely pace due to those high heels, and the chaperone is going with them more than willingly. This is her big break, you see. Her main chance. I am having her kidnapped because I am going on hiatus from Aug. 2 - Aug. 12 or so. I'll continue tagging her current stuff but nothing new after this. PROBABLY won't be around at all during that hiatus period. XOXOXOXOX SAZZY ****

My, my. Is this a special occasion?
no subject
[She looks at him, a delighted expression on her face. The droids make no sign of even knowing he is there. Though if he tries anything? They will be all over him like white on rice.]
I'm finally getting promoted!
no subject
Oh my. Is that so? [Jade himself may have been seeking a position in the Organization. But however it was that a promotion occurred, this definitely didn't seem to be the case.] I'll have to congratulate you. Did you receive any details about said promotion?
no subject
[And soon she will know more than ANYONE here. Poor saps.]
But thank you. For the congratulations, I mean.

Miss! [He runs toward the small crowd and stands to the side of the path. He's in no state to fight these things, but maybe if he can distract them she can get away.] Miss, you need to get away!
no subject
[This guy's nuts and she's going to laugh that tittering little laugh at him.]
Please.
no subject
Whatever you think is going on, it's not! They're taking you away!
no subject
[Come on -- anything must be better than this enclosure.]
Though I do appreciate your concern. But really, it's not necessary.
no subject
...
He swallows dryly. His body was going to regret this.]
Run away!
[He quickly shouts and runs toward the drones, throwing himself at them. There's no chance he can win, but maybe if she runs she can get away while they're distracted by him.]
no subject
[The droids try to bat him away. They don't want to fight if they don't have to; mostly they're trying to get Effie back to wherever they are taking her. Someplace horrible, most likely.]
And you're GOING to get HURT!
no subject
You need to run! Whatever you think is going on, it's not!
no subject
[She's calling this over her shoulder. Effie enjoys the attention of this poor man, even if he is deluded.]
I'll tell you all about it!
no subject
Oh god...no...
[Even if she was just a stranger, Lee couldn't help but feel like he failed her. God, what was going to happen to her? He can already tell this is going to keep him up at night.]

no subject
[Bulla looks concerned. She's ready to fight the droids if she has to, but Effie just looks so...pleased about this.]
Where are you going?
no subject
no subject
[Because she thinks they're far more likely to do something like turn Effie into a man or render her unable to speak for a week, or something similarly unpleasant.]
no subject
[Clonk clonk clonk. The metal feet of the droids are nothing but ominous. Effie minces among them delicately.]
I wonder what my new quarters will be like!
no subject
[Bulla has zero faith in those droids and thinks that if the Malnosso really were promoting Effie that they could have the basic decency to send a person along with the droids to talk to her.]
If you get a bad feeling or something seems suspicious, run. Or stomp on their feet with your heels and walk very quickly.
no subject
[Rest assured, Bulla -- you're on Effie's Nice List.]
no subject
Thank you, but I really think you should be careful with them. Just in case.

no subject
Well, you're welcome to stop by for one. Just...remember that these are people who took everyone from their worlds without permission. You might have some problems with them respecting your boundaries.
[It's the best advice she can offer, given how willfully deluded Effie is being.]
