Locked out

Who: Mortimer Toynbee
What: Inhabiting a beanbag frog who's locked out of his room.
Where: All over the ship.
When: All during the toy flood.
Warnings: will update

[Day One]: Mort was outside his room when the flood struck and he got stuck with no arms and no way to unlock his cabin or get at his communication device. He spends the first day a little jumpy thanks to being pounced on. Trudging down corridors, up stairs (as well as he can) and generally all over the ship, he tries to stay in motion, tries to make it seem purposeful, as if he has somewhere to be but that doesn't last very long. He tries several quiet places, hoping to find somewhere quiet to fall asleep, but every time he does, sleep never comes. His eyes simply won't close. By [Day Two] he's bored out of his mind and far more willing to strike up conversations. His expression might be sewn onto his face but it sums up his feelings perfectly: a silent scream in felt. Please distract him.

Todd's more or less having fun. This is just too silly to be upsetting, and he figures it'd be hard to get into serious trouble while he's made of mostly polyester. He's having just as much trouble toddling about in his tiny, unwieldy plush body, but he's also in no hurry.

And come on, who else (except maybe him) would also end up green and stuffed and vaguely froglike. "Hey, man, how's it goin'?" It's just too dumb to not be amused.

Wouldn't be hard to figure out even if his voice weren't the same (apparently, whatever ineffable magic strangeness allows a six inch plushie to speak is unbound by any kind of physics). Who else, really? He leans against the wall and nods, the movement something like flapping in this strange, flat body. "Uh-huh. Place has a lame sense of humor."

"Depends on what kinda worse. I mean, this is just dumb." Which is a relief. He's not sure he could take another metaphorical gut punch and not just start blowing things up at random. No, he's keeping his cool long enough to blow things up precisely.

"That sounds kinda funny. Like, from a distance." He barely knows his sabretooth and is pretty determined not to know this one. That guy is freaky. Gracelessly changing the subject, Todd leans against the wall and looks at him, well, with no discernible expression, because he is a deliberately clumsy stuffed... thing. "Hey, 'member when we messed up those wall panes?"
weneverwin: (hope)

Todd maintains Sabretooth eats people. He has no evidence for this. It just seems likely. And the fact that he tried to dismember a couple of X-kids has wandered spottily through the mutant teenager gossip chain. He sort of understands the impulse, but still, don't mess with that guy.

But, more importantly, job. He wishes Alfie hadn't set him to recruiting. He still hasn't caught on that the job is more or less a social experiment with Todd at the epicenter, and this seems like it should be someone else's thing. "There's a guy here puttin' a job together. My end's a bit distraction. Wanna help?" That would work on him, anyway. Someone intimidating says to do things. The natural condition of a Toad.

"What the hell are you supposed to be?"

Alfie asks, on the second day, frowning down at the little thing with the face. His brain is bad at processing analogous shapes- not enough cartoons in his day and age. The plushie only vaguely sort of signifies;

"A frog?"

"That you, Toad?"

He thinks he knows the voice- well, the accent.

"Can you even walk?"

Is the first thing Alfie wonders.

"Or are you just gonna be sitting there all week?"

[personal profile] butcherbaker 2016-01-12 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
"Come on. We'd better get you back in- which way is your room?"

While in the meantime he bends down to scoop him up.

[day two]

Lua's seen enough toy people this past day or two that she'd normally be much more careful. From behind, though, the green blob of fabric looks like a pillow tossed on the common room floor, and she already has her hand at the back of Mort's neck before she sees the eyes moving. The only sign she knows something's wrong, as she sits him down on the ottoman, is an quiet apologetic sound. She crouches to his level, trying to identify who this might be.

The voice sounds like Mort, if forced through a cotton throat and a mouth as wide as his head, and jokes mean - most of the time - that someone's trying to bear up. She doesn't smile, but instead cocks her head in thought. "Never gonna try. You need to be somewhere?"

"Too loud out here?" She ignores the question about her own welfare.

"You can't-" and she folds the nubs at the top of his head over onto his cheeks, an attempt to cover his eyes.
