              [ — ✘ ; The female smirks and smooths down her hair, which should probably be washed later on. Of course, little did Noodle know that in her future, she’d fall into Hell and have a cyborg made of her. But who would want to know that about their future, anyway? Certainly not an optimistic person, if anybody at all! Though some might like to see if they can stop this future, but the laws of science and time will only make it so that since you knew about your future and tried to stop it, the event happened anyway.

              Anyway, all in all, Noodle found Peacock to be a pretty interesting person. “Why would you put yourself in a crate? Seem like uncomfortable experience. Would not want to take part in! And why Timbuktoo?” She felt a bit dumb for not understanding, but what were the chances of getting this when she just met Peacock?

[cartoonphysicsmayapply-blog]

Well would you look at that! A feisty, hardcore sort of gal, who was actually willing to put up with listening to Peacock go on about her inane cartoon-like endeavors? Dare she say it, this chic might actually be friend material. But probably not, considering the fact that Peacock sort of tended to hate people in general whether they were human or not. Her cronies were the only real company she could ever find herself fully content in. Well, her cronies and Marie. But that was about it. Wait, where was she? Oh, right. Explaining this year's great April Fool's scheme.

"Well, I dunno how familiar ya are with good ol' cartoons considerin' tha fact ya look a little too much like onna those goofy Anime schoolgirls, but, see, it's a runnin' gag where people are always tryin' ta send tha people they don't like to Timbuktoo. So I thought, hey, why not try ta take a trip there myself? A place full've nerds ta rag on sounds pretty sweet if ya ask me."

its tha crack'a dawn and if that ain't my cue to sleep 'till noon then i dunno what is

[hipsdontlieinagrave]

"You’d do well to show my lady some respect for her kindness." Leviathan chimed in. "And ‘toots’ is most definitely not the way to address a lady, Miss Peacock." Squigly was doing a good enough job of defending herself, but Leviathan couldn’t call himself a gentleman if he just sat on the sidelines of course. Although he wasn’t sure this particular exchange was the most ladylike activity for Squigly.

"At least I still have part of my hand. Metal polish must be so expensive, not to mention eye drops. Although you should take care not to rust, it’d be a shame if your arms and mouth were frozen in place. I’m sure the pigeons would enjoy it though."

[cartoonphysicsmayapply-blog]

"Oh golly gee, yer right! However could I call this ragdoll somethin' like toots? That should be saved fer someone way cuter. Thanks fer correctin' me there, phew, that was a close one!" Do you hear that? Do you hear that faint, slightly high pitched laughter? Why, yes, that is the sound of Avery chuckling underneath Peacock's hat. I feel you, Avery. That dragon fella's a real comedian, ain't he?

"Lucky fer me I got the good ol' Doc to pay all of tha bills fer me, huh?" She paused for a moment to consider the rest of what she said. Could she rust? She'd never really stopped to think about it. Could synthetic parasites rust? The world may never know. "Yer right though, that would be a shame, huh? But don't you go worryin' yer pretty little head about me, I'll be here all week. Maybe longer if yer lucky."

[palutenasangel]

There she goes, laughing again! And why was she talking like a cowboy while talking about pirates? Weird. Wait she’s pulling out her own cannon too? “Wait wait wait hold on a second, I just wanted to show off the weapon a little not-” Too late, the conversation now included one large metal ball flying towards a building at high speed. Not a good sign.

"Hey don’t do that!" The Ball Cannon disappeared in a flash of light and was replaced by two shields floating above Pit’s shoulders, the Guardian Orbitars, letting them charge for a second before a large shield in front of the building, stopping the cannonball in the air.

"What’s the big idea? People could have gotten hurt!" If she had fired at him, he could have brushed it off or at least dodged it and let it hit the street, but aiming right at a building? That was low and Pit wouldn’t stand for it. "If you’ve got a problem with me, fight me, but leave others out of it."

[cartoonphysicsmayapply-blog]

Oh my God. Oh my God. This guy was even lamer than Peacock thought. To think that, for a second, she thought he might be cool. Just because he had a canon. That was definitely the last time she would ever get excited about the possibility of meeting another pirate enthusiast. No, she knew better now. She had learned the cruel, terrible lesson that God, apparently, wanted to teach her. Never again would she think for even a millisecond that some prissy boy with angel wings could be cool. Not ever.

"Are you kiddin' me?" But he was clearly not kidding. Which was just terrible. How could someone this nice and polite and protecting even exist? He was even worse than Ben.

"Listen, champ, stuff like that happens 'round here all of tha time! One week the mafia's throwin' a murder party and the next we got a Skullgirl tearin' up the town. One little cannon ball ain't anthin' special."

[paradiseofparasites]

Avery skipped along towards the way of the docks, though he couldn't help but notice Peacock's following behind him. Huh. Weird. She would always either be in the front or next to him.

Oh wait, no, she walked up to him. But she's just gone quiet. Her face is kinda red thought. Heh, that's adorbs.

"Hey, boss, are ya... emberassed?" What did you just say about getting killed for things like this, boy?

[cartoonphysicsmayapply-blog]

I take it back. I take it all back. Yes, it was most certainly the end of the world if Avery knew she was embarrassed. Because you know what? He figured it out. He figured it all out. He figured out that she was, actually, a huge dork. And that wasn't allowed at all, no siree. She was his boss! She had to be, you know, slightly menacing and in control, no matter how close a friendship the two had.

Did her face get a little more red? Please tell her it didn't. Please tell her that she didn't look Mickey Mouse getting caught doing something really, really stupid. Wait, no. Tell her she did look like that. Mickey Mouse didn't blush nearly as bad as some of the other toons out there.

"What are ya talkin' about? You seein' awright there? I mean, I thought I was the blind one." That sounded a lot better in her head.

[connectedtolight]

"Good evening, miss," The blond waved to the young girl she found taking a stroll out in the darkness of the street. "It’s quite late for little girls to be out wandering alone. Where are your parents?"

[cartoonphysicsmayapply-blog]

Nighttime was great for walks. No one out to yell at her to scram or to tell her what to do... She was livin' the life! Until some dumb broad had to bother her in the middle of her precious alone time, anyway. I mean, really, was this girl for real? Miss? Who even said that anymore?

Jeez, she was way too polite. Except for that part where she assumed Peacock was a helpless little thirteen year old. Did Peacock look like some lost little kid? Did anyone with two giant robot-like arms with eyes really seem like they were in need of any assistance?

"My parents are dead." Nailed it.

[cartoonphysicsmayapply-blog]

((everyones talking about going to the beach and i'm laughing just imagining peacock like. "oh ur going to the beach??? thats cool" and she tags along. and sits under her anvil themed umbrella watching cartoons off of an ipad while her cronies bury nerds in sand in the distance))

[redlikelove]

Almost wanted to chuckle at how she phrased that. Considering the situation at hand, it might have been better if he did, but it wasn’t the point. Hopefully she actually could take it; Big Band didn’t know what he’d do if he got interrupted again or Peacock just stopped listening. Here goes nothing.

"Right… I was out on the town again today, repeatin’ the patrol route I had done earlier—some suspicious activity in the area, I remember. After exiting this cafe I bumped into a woman, quite literally. Just about nearly knocked her down. Somethin’ under her hat took offence about it and wouldn’t listen to my apologies.

"I was about ready to leave… scratch that, I was leavin’ until somethin’ long and black lashed out at me. Turns out that girl was packin’ a passenger, and a rude one at that. I was forced to fight her but…” He trails off a bit as his anger begins to flare again. Wasn’t even at anyone else by this point, just himself.

"She didn’t even want to fight. Whatever was on the back of her head was slinging her around and forcin’ her into it. I had to beat the both of them down and leave. I had to hurt an innocent, Pea. Sorry if you wouldn’t understand, but…"

Big Band stopped there, mostly out of fear for his voice failing him. It was a bit of an accusation, but he wasn’t really expecting her to understand. Then again, it looks like he had been wrong before.

[cartoonphysicsmayapply-blog]

At first, all Peacock could do was give the big buy an awkward blink or two, wondering if he was actually serious or not. When it sunk in that, yes, Ben actually felt bad about having to beat up Filia of all people, it was pretty hard for her not to laugh. Jeez, what a sap!

"Phew! And here ya had me worryin' you were upset about somethin' serious!" She did her best to make sure her tone of voice wasn't too mocking. Her words were a bit harsh, sure, but she said them in a teasing way that was sort of different from how she normally made fun of people; more caring than they would be if she were talking to someone else.

She gave him her best attempt at a sympathetic smile, hoping that would help prove her point. Too bad she didn't pull it off quite as well as she wished she could have.

"Listen, I know ya like to go all Robocop when it comes ta justice an' whatever, but it ain't yer fault! 'Sides, I think Filia's sorta used to it by now." Yeah, because that last bit was sure to make him feel better. Totally. Maybe she should go on a bit more. "An' hey, it ain't yer fault the dumb broad can't agree with her parasite, right?" That is definitely not making things any better. Why did she suck at all of this feeling crap? Let's just try one more time.

"So keep that chin a yers up, awright champ? Things coulda been worse!" At least he gave Samson a beating. That guy always deserved a beating.

[hipsdontlieinagrave]

"Oh good, for a second I thought I would be in more trouble. I’m sorry, it’s just that last time I ran into someone I didn’t know they weren’t exactly looking to greet me." Not that she could blame them seeing as the undead and Skullgirls went hand in hand. Not that she couldn’t handle a fight, but the less unneeded violence the better. Wait, what did she just say?

"My brain’s condition is just fine, thank you!" Aside from a few missing pieces, her body was in just as good condition as when she was alive. "And from the looks of things, I’ve got more pieces left of me than you do!" That may have been a little mean but she started it. Didn’t she know it was rude to comment on a woman’s level of decomposition?

[cartoonphysicsmayapply-blog]

Oh, what do you know! She did have some fight in her! That was a relief, honestly. I mean jeez, it'd been almost two whole hours since she'd gotten into a good word fight. She didn't know how much longer she could go on without one. God bless you, Squigly. Or whatever her real name was. Sienna Conti-something or other. She didn't really care.

Well, she'd better start with replying to the  civil side of this conversation. Insults and comebacks were always best delivered at the end of a dialogue section, in Peacock's experience.

"Oh, don't you worry about it, toots, I'll let it slide this time. Just fer you! Just make sure ya don't let it happen again." How on Earth was that civil. She did wonder, briefly, who the last person she was greeted by was, though. But in the end she decided it didn't really matter.

"I dunno what yer talkin' about, though, ya look pretty worn down ta me! Is that a little bony hand I see right there? Yikes! Better keep away from the dogs, amirite?"

[concealedmekakushi]

It was a good thing Tsubomi was a little too distracted by the fact that she was talking to someone with two robotic arms and holes where her eyes should be to actually take the full brunt of the sass she had just received. Otherwise, what else could one expect her to do if not match the sass with an irritated response? Probably a harsh tone and one of those cold glares that seemed to convince everyone that she was mean-spirited and intimidating. Wait, which of the Mekakushi Dan had the deceiving eye ability again? Because that was a pretty little lie she had convinced people to believe with that outward attitude of hers.

Instead, she still looked a little surprised by what she had seen when she turned the corner. Although, not quite as surprised as one probably should look. She had seen some pretty strange things in her life, after all. You can’t expect her to stay shocked forever, but man was this something strange.

"Your dress was sticking around the corner." Kid spoke as she pointed to the dress in question, which seemed to stand out a bit as though it followed the laws of cartoon animation rather than the laws of nature. "My friend was wearing that same color earlier today. If I could’ve seen your arms from there, I wouldn’t have made that mistake."

That much was a given. And she could only imagine what Mary’s reaction would be if she thought the same thing this girl seemed to be thinking. ‘Does Kido think I’m a monster?’ Something along those lines maybe. But it was obvious that Tsubomi wouldn’t have thought this girl was her fluffy-haired friend at all if she had gotten a good look at her.

This was strange though, wasn’t it? Someone who looks like this wandering around without any issues. Perhaps she had some sort of ability as well? It would explain why there wasn’t a cop or startled bystander in sight. With the exception, of course, of Kido herself.

[cartoonphysicsmayapply-blog]

She was sure this gal didn't mean to, but you know what, Peacock was feelin' sort of offended. I mean really, how could anyone ever mistake her for someone so, well... simple! Sure, she hadn't met this friend this girl was talking about, but with how mundane everything else around here was, she assumed her friend must be pretty damn boring too.

And honestly, the fact that someone so boring would even think about wearing anything similar to Peacock! She'd find it unbelievable, but "unbelievable" wasn't something Peacock really found anything anymore. She faced the unbelievable almost daily, after all.

"You tryin' ta tell me there's some chump 'round here with a dress like mine? Lemme at 'em!" Why yes, she was absolutely bouncing around and waving her fists around just like Scrappy Doo. "This here is a one've a kind, I ain't lettin' anyone who thinks they can jack my style get away without givin' em' a good poundin' first."

Well, she assumed that her dress was one of a kind since everything else about her was! Then again, it might not be. I mean, Doc Avian was a great scientist and all, but he probably wasn't the best fashion designer. Now that she thought about... where did her dress come from? It was a mystery.

At least it was pretty clear this girl wasn't talking about Marie anymore. Marie's wardrobe was more of a black and white sorta deal. Not cartoon style black and white, though. More like a "Evil Skullgirl Zombie Queen Set To Murder a Bunch of Medici Scum" black and white.

[axepriincess-deactivated2014101]

              [ — ✘ ; Noodle stares at the flicked, unlit cigar and raises an eyebrow, though it’s probably unseen behind her hair. Maybe she should get it cut, but now was not the time to think about that! She should be focusing on this ridiculous event right now. It was time for sleepsies. No cutsies, no buttsies, no coconutsies. That was the phrase that popped into her head and she had no idea why.

              Another scowl. “No, but was shipped off to England in a FedEx box. Nice and comfy in there. My 31 pound body fit real nice. Though the plane ride was kind of annoying. Bleh. 12 hours in a tiny box. Not greatest adventure ever. Been on better ones. But… Mh.” Her brain was going all fuzzy and she was losing track of what she’d said and what she hadn’t. Man, English got tiring after a while. “Uuh… Yeah.” She kicks at the ground with her foot and itches her scalp.

              Talking about what had happened in Japan made Noodle feel unsettled, but Peacock definitely did not care about that, so she keeps her mouth shut and stares forward into her hair. It needed to be washed. It looked like a bird had landed in it and made a home out of, to say the least.

              That could wait.

[cartoonphysicsmayapply-blog]

Well what do you know, this gal was a little more hardcore than Peacock had given her credit for! So she guessed she could play nice for a little while longer. She still sort of wanted to tussle with her at one point or another, though. She seemed cool enough to put up a pretty decent fight. Not like any of those mooks back home. I mean jeez, didn't anyone know how to fight besides her?

"Gee, I'll bet. Ya know, I was stuck in a box once. More like a crate, actually. Tried ta send myself to Timbuktoo fer April Fools day. Good times, good times." Too bad Doc Avian caught her and took her out before the mailman could come pick her up. What a spoil sport. I mean, yeah, so she was technically built to save a bunch of people from an undead zombie queen, but the least he could do is let her have a little fun on the side.

*~*go follow my super rad friend*~*

[hipsdontlieinagrave]

"Huh? You’ve been looking for me? Um…" She knew this girl right? It would be rude to forget the name of someone who obviously knew her, and it’s not like she had the wrong zombie opera singer. Oh wait, the girl from Lab 8, right? She’d seen something about them in the newspaper recently, this was one of the anti-Skullgirl agents. "Peacock, right?" Wait, Anti-Skullgirl, as in used to dealing with the Skullgirl’s undead minions, which people tended to mistake her for. "Oh wait, I’m not with the Skullgirl or anything like that!"

[cartoonphysicsmayapply-blog]

"What, you tryin' ta tell me I ain't allowed ta be lookin' fer ya just because we haven't had a proper introduction yet? Fer shame. An' here I was thinkin' you were better than that." And what do you know, Peacock was feeling less bored already. I mean, look at how confused she was! If only causing mass confusion was an Olympic sport. She'd take the gold home for sure.

"But yet, no worries, zombie girl, I ain't here on no knuckle sammich delivery. I mean do ya really think I'd give ya such a nice hello if I was here ta beat ya into next week? I didn't think that much of yer brain had decomposed." Why couldn't she just be nice for once. Why was it so hard to be nice to people.
