[open] yarrrrrrrr
Who: Athena Cykes (psycholawgy) & you!
When: Icly 11/09 (or any other day!)
Where: Various places (Cosplay cafe, and around the residential district)
What: You can be accosted by her, or watch her accost someone. Your choice.
Rating/Warning: Will update as needed.

[ Athena had a shift today at the cosplay cafe, and she was really excited about it! It was always fun being there, since she gets to meet a lot of people. Free food was also involved sometimes, and that was the best part.
…
But today was a bust.
She was even excited to talk to customers with a pirate accent, since that was what she was cosplaying as today. A pirate! You just can't have it all.
Instead of just waiting inside for people to come in, she goes out into the street just by the cafe. She wasn't finishing her work today without showing off her cute costume. Holding out her fake sword and pointing it at any person who passes by, she exclaims: ]
It's into the cafe or Davy Jones' Locker, ye knave!
[ Marketing strategies!
Of course, anyone who works at the cosplay cafe is also free to stop her from possibly embarrassing herself and the establishment. ]
b
[ It wasn't even that late! It was just an hour or so before sundown, but a police officer robot thing approaches Athena and tells her to go home. She's not even sure why she's being told to do so, when she's not even a minor. Was it because she was little? Whatever the reason, she felt very insulted by this. ]
I'm on my way to buy some food!
[ But the officer seemed very insistent that she should go home before sundown since it wasn't safe. "Look, kid. You better head home before dark, or else you could get in trouble." ]
I'm not a kid!
[ And if it wasn't her stating that she wants to buy food that could catch someone's attention, it's her yelling that she's not a kid, because she can be loud. Now is one of those times.
Again, the officer continues to believe in its own opinion that Athena is much younger than she truly is, and decides to walk her home that very instant, grabbing her by the wrist. But Athena doesn't take kindly to people giving her unwanted physical contact. She quickly grabs the officer's wrist then moves to turn, her back facing the cop, then she crouches as she pulls its arm to throw him to the ground.
… But she may have thrown her a bit too far. The officer probably hits an innocent passer-by or the space very close to said passer-by.
Oops? ]

[ Or just tag with whatever! ]
[ Obligatory permissions post because Athena is a human lie detector. ]

[ Of course, going by how casually they're talking, it's equally possible that they're just not smart enough to grasp the implications of death. ]
Well, we can't argue with THAT logic. Unless she died an' got better? Oh! Yeah, that works, too.
[ On the bright side, they don't seem offended by Athena's blunt question. In fact, they swell up with pride. ]
Wot, you haven't seen an ogre before? Well... we're an ogre. But we're not just ANY ogre. We're a two-headed ogre. One of a kind! And that makes us THE Ogre Magi, 'cause we can do ~magic things.~
no subject
Never heard of anything like it, not even in books. [ A beat, and she smiles at them and gives them a peace sign. ] I'm Athena, a one-headed psychology expert and defense attorney.
no subject
[ Both of Ogre Magi's heads return her smile- although it's a smile of mild incomprehension and/or confusion. ]
Good to meet you, Athena! What he said. But, uh, wot's a say-ko-loggy? Yeah, and also, what's an at-turn-nee? ... for that matter, wot's an expert?
no subject
And psychology's a science... an attorney is someone who defends people in court during trials. [ Just stops there, because they might even have more questions... She'll deal with the other one later. ]
no subject
[ Because that's totally how ogre migration works, right? But their eyes light up a bit- hey, now THOSE are some words they recognize! ]
Oh, science! That's some GREAT stuff. You could blow up a mountain with science! So if you combine that with defending people... that means you're someone who uses lasers an' missiles to blow bad guys up, right? Sounds like fun!
no subject
Maybe, but I doubt it. [ And there was also the fact that her world was eaten. But she doesn't think about that so much. She's positive that everything will be okay in the end, anyway. ]
And no, that's not what I do at all! [ Pauses to cross her arms, then hums in thought. ] Psychology's a science, but it deals with the mind. I can't blow people up, even if they're bad. That's a crime.
no subject
[ As to what they CAN'T agree on- ]
So wait... say-koh-loggy is the science of brains, but you can't use your brain to blow people up? Aww, that's too bad. Sounds to me you got ripped off. And, wait-
[ The gears start turning in their heads, and they frown in slightly worried thought. ]
You're saying that blowing people up is a crime, right? What about just lightin' them on fire a little?
no subject
[ She starts sweating because BOY THIS IS STRESSFUL and she wipes her forehead with one of her sleeves. ]
That's also a crime! None of that is legal!
no subject
So wot you're sayin' is, everythin' that is fun to do is against the law? But that's horrible! And it doesn't make any sense! Someone should go change those laws. Like us! And we could totally get YOU to help us!
no subject
Killing and harming people is not fun! If that's your idea of it, then it's warped!
no subject
... well, what if it's because someone else is trying to do the same thing to you, huh? Or because you're fightin' dead things wot oughta stay dead. Like skeletons or zombies or ghosts. Or skeletal zombified ghosts! It can't be illegal THEN, right?
no subject
I don't think there are any laws against zombies or ghosts. [ Not that she knows of, anyway. But her boss was once involved in a case where a ghost murdered someone, so... that's a thing. Athena just doesn't know about it yet. ]
no subject
[ There aren't actually any shoes on their big bare blue feet, but that's not going to stop THEIR argument. ]
Fire has GOT to be allowed when dat happens, right?
no subject
Like I said, there aren't any laws on that. [ A pause. ] Not where I'm from, at least.
[ It looks like she's done talking, but then she remembers something. ] Oh! In a zombie apocalypse or whatever, I'm pretty sure everyone and break the law.
... I think.
no subject
[ Both heads nod sagely. The bad news is, they immediately open their mouths again and continue talking. ]
So all we gotta do is make a zombie apocalypse happen, an' then we can light everyone on fire, right? Your world really ought to make laws about this kind of stuff. Can WE help make laws? Yeah! You could totally train us to be lawyers, too!
no subject
no subject
[ Yes. Yes, this is really happening. They are, in all seriousness, laughing at their own terrible joke. ]
... but yah, upholdin' the law sounds fun too. With fire! And hitting!
no subject
Alright, you two! Listen up!
Hurting people, whether they deserve it or not, is a crime punishable by law! That includes setting them on fire, making them explode, or hitting them! The last one is assault!
[ . . . she may have just assaulted a robot officer, but at least she's not going to get sued for it.
Hopefully. ]
no subject
Well, wait, who's doing the punishing? What if the punishers use fire an' explosions to punish the assaulters? Who'll punish THEM? And what if the other punishers use fire and explosions to punish the first punisher? ... ooh, my head's startin' to hurt.
no subject
[ She shakes her head. ] The people who punish lawbreakers are called the police. They usually arrest lawbreakers, you know? Like criminals. They get put to trial, and if they're deemed guilty, then they get locked up forever.
no subject
Forever? Forever's a pretty long time, isn't it? Well, that isn't SO bad. Not if it's trial by fightin'. And fire! ... right?
no subject
The trials don't have anything to do with fighting. You'll be in a courtroom with a lawyer, a prosecutor, a judge, and there will be people who will try to prove how guilty you are. That's about it. Then the judge smacks his gavel and gives his verdict.
There are some cases wherein you'll just have to stay in jail for a couple of years. But murder? That's forever. [ A beat. ] So you better not commit any crimes, or else you'll be spending the rest of your life behind bars!
no subject
[ They pause for a moment. ]
We don't have any lawyers back home. Nope. Just hitting, fighting, and sole eating demons. Wait... if WE'RE a lawyer, we can put people behind bars! Yeah! And we won't ever go to jail!!
no subject
[ If she could smack them, she would. ]
But in this city, I'm pretty sure there are laws! That's why we have annoying cops!
no subject
[ ... and they give her a sly grin. ]
Oooh, it's got to be against the law to call the cops annoying, isn't it? I bet you could go to jail for a LONG time for that. For forever! ... right?
