179 days of the year are even-numbered

[Book Buyers]
You have until the end of the day to return any books you bought from Closed From Refurbishment, you'll get your money back. This is me. Asking you nicely. It's the only chance you'll get to do this the easy way.
[/Book Buyers]

[Faye]
Come down to the lobby.
[/Faye]

[Should you go down to the lobby today, you’ll find a large walk-in box standing to one side. A sign above it proclaims ‘The Secret To Paradisa’. The door to the ‘secret’ is locked, but there’s a collection box next to it asking for a 10 caiso donation for entry.

Despite the fact that he is indeed in the lobby, no one will see Crowley, as he’s currently Going Unnoticed. But he’s chilling in a corner, waiting for his buddy to show up.]

[[ooc: Totally open post (journal post for those filtered), have your character react to the box however you like.]]

[someone is making his way down to the lobby. and he's doing his own narration]

--- by the conundrum of corridors, Darkwing Duck arrives undaunted in the lobby, prepared to keep a clever eye for --

Hel-looooo, what. Have. We. HERE? [whips out a magnifying glass and proceeds to start walking circles around the box]

[...That's a duck in clothing. A talking duck in clothing.

...All right then. Crowley will watch]

[after about three laps, he puts the magnifying glass away and knocks on the box a few times. yeeeep. definitely hollow.]

How very interesting! I wonder what its purpose could be...

[yep. he totally failed to notice the sign.]

[is walking around the box himself, scanning it with his screwdriver, completely failing to notice the duck muttering to himself.]

[pace pace mutter mutter] It's entirely possible that someone decided deliver a ponderous package, but .... most boxes don't have doors...

[cranes his neck up to try and see over the top - which isn't going to work well when he's really only about four feet tall. and as such, he walks STRAIGHT into the Doctor.]

OOF.

[smiles and nods to Darkwing] Oh, pardon me.

[continues circling the box]

Ohyeahsurenoproblem.

[keeps going in the opposite direction--]

[pauses, then turns and looks at Darkwing, blinking curiously]

[turns around and stares. leaves growing out of his head. flower bow tie. waaaaaaait a second --]

[looks Darkwing up and down, griiiiiining] Well, aren't you magnificent! I've never seen anything quite like you, before. I must say, I love your hat!

[whips out his gas-gun and points it at him - or rather, at his bow tie since that's as high as he can reach]

Hooooold it RIGHT there.... half-plant.

[eyes that thar gas gun]

Half plant? What do you mean... oh... right. Um. I'm not quite half plant. It's more of a residual side effect of being involuntarily transformed into a vivisalus angoricus colosus for nearly three months. I've only just turned back to normal, you see, and it seems that being stuck as a plant for that extended period of time has had some... well... lasting effects. [scratches the yellowing leaves sprouting from the top of his head]

[his eyes start to glaze over after a few seconds, then shakes himself out of it]

Side effects, schmide effects! It doesn't change the fact that the SECOND the stonework starts sprouting saplings, you can consider yourself kaput! No one pulls the leaves over Darkwing Duck, magic castle or no!

I know I've got a weed killer cartridge in here somewhere... [starts rummaging in his cape]

Stonework sprouting leaves? That's a new one on me. Though that would be a sight to see.

Oh, I'm being rude, I'm the Doctor, by the way [griiiiiiins]

But ... I ...

... Don't all half-plants have the capacity to control conifers?

I don't think so. [thinks for a minute] I knew a tree once, but I don't think she could control other plants.

[pacing as he thinks]

I mean, it's quite possible that there are beings out there that can use psychokinetic energy to control other plant life.

Actually, I remember this planet once where they used electrical energy to stimulate the plants to grow faster. It was rather important, you see, because their growing season was only two weeks long.

Although, they didn't actually control the plants, per se, so that's not really relevant, now, is it...

Now, then, as I said, I'm not exactly half plant. It's more like a twelfth, if anything.

... Um ...

Well, maybe not a twelfth. It's more like [thinks for a second, muttery muttery math] 10 and a half percent.

And that's only if you take the sap currently clogging up my sinuses [sniff sniff]
