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 ****

[Now that is a curious sight: that Trinkett woman being accompanied by the droids. He falls into stride nearby, while keeping just a cautious distance from the droids, as he turns to address her.]

My, my. Is this a special occasion?

[Jade definitely knows better than to try any such funny business. He's content to observe the droids as keenly as he can from his distance. And of course, he sees she seems to be laboring under a delusion. He keeps a light tone and a smirk, with his hands in his pockets, as he addresses her.]

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?

Don't think anything of it. [He waves off her thanks and makes an empty shrug.] Be sure to put in a good word for me with the higher-ups. [He definitely doesn't believe this is what she says it is, but he likes to play along.] What type of station are you hoping for?

Such enviable jobs. Who knows? They may even find a place for you amongst the military.

[As he walks toward the plaza to get some groceries, he's befuddled to see a woman walking with the droids he's heard much about. The ones that go around kidnapping people. Oh god...he has to help. He can't just leave someone to be taken. And by the way she's acting, maybe she doesn't even know what's going on.]

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!

[Moment of triumph? She really did have no clue what was going on.]

Whatever you think is going on, it's not! They're taking you away!

[His eyes widen in shock. She really doesn't know then. Crap...he can't just stand here and do nothing.

...

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.]

["Batting away" is enough against a guy without much strength when it comes to fighting metal bots. He's quickly shoved to the ground and hard, but doesn't want to stop.]

You need to run! Whatever you think is going on, it's not!

[He tries to get back up, but he can't manage to will the strength and instead can only watch as the droids take her farther and farther away.]

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.]

[Bad things, Lee. Bad things are going to happen. See you on the flip side.]

Effie!

[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?

[personal profile] onlyeffie 2013-07-28 02:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Bulla! [Effie is excited! She laughs.] I've finally made it!

[personal profile] fashionably_strong 2013-07-28 03:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Made it? Did the Malnosso come out and say they were promoting you?

[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.]

fashionably_strong: (worried)

[personal profile] fashionably_strong 2013-07-30 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
The Malnosso has been known to experiment on people, Effie. Maybe they'll be nicer to you since you're co-operating with them and maybe they are promoting you, but...be careful.

[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.
fashionably_strong: (concerned)

[personal profile] fashionably_strong 2013-08-02 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, no one can say she didn't try to dissuade Effie. She would just punch those droids, grab Effie and run, but Effie's so convinced that they're here for benevolent reasons.]

Thank you, but I really think you should be careful with them. Just in case.

[Discreet isn't the word she'd use to describe Effie. Not after that announcement about her Games.]

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.]
