phase i - shop till you drop;

[The Shopping District's a pretty busy place, right? People are always moving around, talking, buying things-- Surely, no one's going to notice if a girl just glitches and appears out of thin air, right?]

[Wait, that is the kind of thing people might notice? Oops!]

[Well, in any case, this glitch is quickly identified to be an odd-looking teenaged girl - that is to say, Maya, and upon appearing, she pretty much just crumples to the ground]

[Except-- aside from pulling herself up to a sitting position, she doesn't seem to be making any efforts to get up or talk to anyone. In fact, she looks.... upset? Wow, is that even possible???]

[So your options here are: check this weird scene out, keep walking, throw something at her, or any other option. Be creative!!]

phase ii - catch me if you can;

[Well, you're minding your own business! Trying to get wherever you're going!! HARK, there is a small teenage girl, directly in your path.]

Okay, Maya, one foot after the other.... two feet after the other... three feet after.... wait, that doesn't make sense.

[She's coming towards you! If you don't move fast, she's going to crash directly into you, or topple over and take you down with her]

Woah....!

[If you do move fast, then enjoy watching her fall on her face. Again. If not, then:]

S...Sorry....

phase iii - speaking of watch your step;

[On that note, there's another option. You, once again, are trying to conduct your business, getting home, checking on your friends, trying to go somewhere, whatever. But down, on the ground, is said weirdo teenage girl, and she appears to be crawling very slowly... on her hands and knees, in some direction. Okay. That's all fine and weird, but every so often, she freezes up, her eyes widen, and then she reaches for whatever's closest (which is probably your ankle, but can be: bench, a cleaning robo, or... anything else, really) as if trying to put her hand through it.]

[Obviously, this does not work out for her, because these things are all solid objects]

....I shouldn't have done that.

[NO SHIT, MAYA.]

phase iv - butt-dialing?? we just don't know;

[And the final option: you are getting a call on your CeresVice!! It's from Maya. But the thing is, she absolutely didn't mean to call you. In fact, she might not even know who you are and vice versa. But there is a call! From her!!]

Um..... Is this Mosley?

[No it isn't]

[(Unless Mosley tags this)]

wildcard;

[Got something else in mind? Hit me up! Just keep in mind that she's extremely dizzy... among other things]

Phase II

[unpreparer]

[Illidan had just been returning from a hunt in the jungle, a nice break from being cooped up in a room with a bunch of humans. It had grated on him so much he could have sworn he could almost hear the little harpy girl's voice...

Then little hands grabbing at him. He looked over to see the child fail to get a good hold onto him... and slowly.. slowly slide off and fall to the ground. He probably could have helped her. But nope. Nooope.]

What are you doing?

iii.

[psycholawgy]

[ she didn't want to go outside tonight, not after maya had disappeared. she had failed her. she failed phoenix, she failed a ton of people, really. but... it was her turn to go shopping. she couldn't just let ai down by not doing her chores because she's emotionally exhausted.

but then something grabs her ankle while she's on her way home. she grabs the baguette she bought and starts swinging it around. after what happened in the library, she's definitely a bit more panicky now. ]

Who— Who's there?!

[feytality]

Oof... [Thanks, Lillydan. Always a pal and a helper!]

[Maya's slow and sad descent ends up with her crumpling up at his feet, clutching her head. It takes a second to identify the voice, but she doesn't dare look up, because her head is already spinning enough as it is.]

Mr. Stormrage?

[Instead of answering his question, she just sound very confused]

[feytality]

[If she swings it downwards she can definitely hit Maya in the head. As it is, Maya's currently seeing Athena as code, so it doesn't click for her just yet what's going on and who this is]

[She withdraws her hand]

Oh, everything's messing up again! What am I supposed to do!?

[psycholawgy]

[ she was about to hit maya on the head, but then??? what???

maya?

she slaps herself with the baguette instead. is this real? ]

Miss... Maya?

iii

[splashdamage]

[ he almost steps on her at first. thoughts elsewhere, gazed fixed straight ahead at regular eye-level, there's no way kakyoin notices someone crawling around on the ground. not until he feels the sudden grab of a hand at his ankle.

a slight flinch, and kakyoin looks down with some amount of startled shock. which rather quickly melts into confusion when he sees maya sprawled on the ground there. ]

... are you alright, miss?

[ said in a tone of voice that indicates he's kind of assuming she's prooooobably not 'alright.' ]

[feytality]

[At this point that just looks like pixels smacking... pixels.... but slowly, it's going to back to normal and Maya's eyes widen]

Oh... Athena....?

[Is it??]

[feytality]

[That would be a correct assumption!! Seriously, who does things like this?]

[Maya, apparently. She pulls her hand back, shuddering a little... for some reason, freezes at the voice, and slowly starts to look up.]

Woah! You're a person?

[Because he kind of still looks like code to her]

[(Don't touch glitchy ledgers, kids...)]

[unpreparer]

[Illidan looms over the collapsed young girl... still not helping. Has no plans to. But he may feel compelled to soon, people are starting to stare at him like they think he pushed her over.]

Do you know many residents of this city with wings and hooves, girl?

phase i

[freeinghorror]

[How about nearly tripping over the strange weird girl that just popped up in front of you? Cuz that is almost what Jinga does except he is an expert at dodging weird stuff and has long legs to boot. So, instead of stumbling over her, he jumps, twisting in the air like a cat so that he could land on his feet and face the girl with one raised eyebrow as if to say 'See? I so am not showing off'. And when she didn't look up, his expression soften slightly and he crouched down.

Forgive him, but he is going to reach out to tap her forehead.]

Are you pretending to be a ghost, or are you going to get off the ground?

iv

[beaconed]

[ What the heck?! Is someone playing a trick on him here? Or could it be... what if it's an actual CERES employee? This could be a chance to get some information out of them!! And if it's a prank, then Jaune can save face by... pranking them back!

It makes sense. ]

............ Yeah? Yes. Yes, this is Mosley. Mosley here, just. Just Mosley-ing around.

Ugh, what am I doing, Mosley doesn't even say that--

[feytality]

[See, that doesn't sound anything like Mosley. It's also not something Mosley would ever say--- probably. But Maya's still really distracted and a little out of it. She's got a lot on her mind.]

[But she seems to be taking this terrible bait??]

We... We need to talk! Stop Mosley-ing around right now and Mosley down to business!

[beaconed]

What-- [ CLEARS THROAT ] What would ye like to discuss, lass.

[ He immediately puts the phone away to curse silently. Why did he change accents now?!?! UGH THIS IS HARD. ]

I mean, what, what's wrong? I'm Most-ley certainly willing to discuss business. Yeah. Tell me about... business, and... our dealings. [ Nailed it. ]

[feytality]

[Ah... she was warned about him, and now he appears, when she's too vulnerable to huff and puff at him!]

[Regardless, her body might be here now, but her mind is far away - back in the Nexus Code, with all her dropped CR and dead brother figures. In fact, she absolutely does not notice his presence until he taps her on the forehead, and she only catches about half of what he said.]

--Huh? I'm not... I'm not a ghost! I'm a spirit medium....

[Nailed... it? She doesn't seem interested in getting up, in any case]

[feytality]

[Yeah, Lillydan!! What a jerk!! Help your poor boss up]

[She's very slowly starting to pull herself up to a sitting position and ignores his sass]

You... made it out? Are you okay?

[Says the glitched out one...]

[feytality]

[What is up with Mosley ????]

[Maybe there's something wrong with her CeresVice, she could swear she heard him talk in an accent]

Y... You should know! Weird stuff is happening! As the Bossley, it's your job to take care of things!

And I want answers!

[beaconed]

I'm not the Bossley, I'm just Public Relations!! Why can't anyone understand that?! [ Okay, wow, he actually got that part correct. He was also weirdly passionate about it. ]

... Wait, who is this?

[feytality]

[Huh, okay, she was starting to have her doubts, but that right there sounds a lot like him]

You should know by now that being in Public Relations is Mostley going to get you yelled at!

It's Maya! Maya Fey! Don't tell me you forgot me!

[freeinghorror]

Really? Do most spirit mediums appear in such an abrupt manner?

[He has gone from mildly huffy to his normal state of being rather amused by everyone around him. What that meant for Maya was him being a little playful and maybe a lot less scary as he could have been. Setting his purchases down on the ground, he flops next to her.]

I hate to point this out to you, but I believe that there might be a few people who may wish you to move soon.

phase ii!

[trueend]

[Yeaahhhhh. They're just gonna... step aside at the very last moment. Watch her fall flat on her face. Stare. Stare some more.

And then, s l o w l y:]

... Are you okay?

[You're a real pal, Frisk.]

[beaconed]

Maya Fey? Ma-- oh. Maya! I know you! Maya Fey, yeah! Heh, yeah, it's, uh, it's Jaune.

Hm.

This is kinda awkward...

ii

[meowbel]

[And here, Mabel just happened to be checking out the newest and most awesomest stuff that Cerealia has to offer here! Of course, after everything that happened, all the girl really wanted was a distraction.

In the middle of looking through the windows, that's when she heard some squealing from Waddles. Being curious, she turned around to find one Maya Fey landing right on top of her!]

W-Whoa...!! If you wanted a hug, all you had to do was ask Maya...!

1/2

[feytality]

...HUH?!

[feytality]

Jaune...

YOU WERE MOSLEY ALL ALONG?!

[nailed it]

IV

[shroudedinsecrecy]

...no?

[Cousin, please]

[The question momentarily caught Iris off-guard. Why would someone think Mosley could be reached through her device? Although...after a moment's pause, the voice asking said question registered in her mind, and she let out a soft gasp.]

Mystic Maya! Is...that's you, isn't it?

[A small wave of relief washed over her. Mixed with a sense of convenience, considering she'd been meaning to contact her anyway.]
