Welcome to Gaia! ::

On the outskirts of Destiny City, the ancient flickering neon of the Jivin' Drive-In declared that it was closed for the evening, while the marque assured that it'd be open again for a 7pm double showing tomorrow night. The next to last car sped away with its own ancient, flickering tail light clearly on display. Watching it go with a cheery tsk-tsk, Nada spun on her skates and went back to cleaning up the lot.

Wielding a giant push-broom, she slowly made her way back and forth, wrangling stray wrappers and pieces of popcorn under the pale light of huge screen overhead. Having to close everything up on her own wasn't exactly her favourite situation, but Nada had to admit there was a like, zen sorta vibe going for it. In the background, the local pop station was pumping out something from the early aughts, and she soon found herself bopping along with it. Twirling a lot more often than needed, going a little faster, and leaving a bit more of a mess for it.

It was until the song switched out, that the teen paused her playing around and noticed what was absolutely a huge scary monster shadow being projected onto the screen.

"Very funny," she called out toward the projector booth Nada had assumed was empty. With a laugh, she skated up to the booth, "I thought you had left..."

The booth was empty. And there was no little toy monster in front of the projector, either. Face scrunched, she turned and looked out over the lot. Oh...it was a person just in front of the booth, how had she missed that?!

"Wow! Nice costume, my guy! Is there gonna be like, some kinda meet-up here? I should be done in like, fifteen? If you guys are gonna like, party here? But just don't leave a mess..." her voice trailed off as the guy in the really good Godzilla suit turned and puked up a whole bunch of something purple and stinky at her.

"...please?"

Hisssing right back, the youma lurched from the human girl toward the cat. With an odd croak, it's throat began to glow and then...expand. Horror quickly replaced Nada's curiosity and confusion. Moving toward the cat, she lifted the broom to ward off the whatever it was from the both of them.

"You! You can't just go throwing up on cats too!"

Seeing the creature's throat keeping expanding larger and larger with the thing itself refusing to back the heck off, she declared, "In the name of The Jivin' Drive-In, I'm kicking you out!"

Ugh, the thing was being super gross at the cat! Lifting the broom had turn into jabbing at it with aggressive little shoo-ing gestures. Ugh ugh ugh! It looked ready to open its mouth at any moment! Maybe she should pick up the cat and run? But what if it went puked on another cat after? What if it puked on a kid?!

And then a creature did open its mouth and out came...words!

Stunned, Nada asked, "What...like a glock?"

TALKING CAT!

"Who taught you how to talk?!"

"Who gave you a gun?!"

Did he have thumbs too?!
