Introduction

Introduction
Welcome to the all American town, Bluffington. Where mermaids infest the water, animals turn into people, inanimate objects grow faces and sometimes organs, people vanish, people reappear, gods can be found stocking the grocery store. This tiny, tight-knit town in the middle of Minnesota is the perfect image of normalcy. Start a family, join a cult, have blood orgies in the local national forest, go to the annual barbeque; Bluffton has it all.
Rules (Kinda)
This is obviously a free-for-all roleplay, so do what you want within the boundaries of this site's rules. No godmoding or powerplays cuz that's stupid and not cool. Have fun, this is causal. Make a character that lives under the town for all I care. You should probably look up Bluffington, MN and get a feel for that area and shit. Also it'd be nice if you post a comment or something in the ooc tab so I know how many people are into this roleplay cuz it helps my self esteem.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 8 authors
Leaning back in the chair, teetering on the edge between falling forward or backward, David scanned his office for the umpteenth time to try and purge the phantom sight of black and white from his eyes. It went from the walls painted a baby blue to the shelves lined with curios and knick knacks to the grandfather clock sequestered to one corner with both digital and analog clocks surrounding it. The window let in the light of a bright sunny day, still in the bright light of a mid-day sun. A curse, being beautiful while David was to be held prisoner by bonds of ink and graphite.
The ringing phone brought a welcome distraction from the multitude of papers that David was filling out. He had finally glimpsed a rescue helicopter that would take him away from the flood. Surely he should not ignore possible business.
Not even bothering to get up from his desk, a slick tentacle darted towards the cordless phone and whipped it back into David's other hand. Punching the button to answer like a self-medicate button on a morphine drip, David put it up to his ear and tried to sound like he wasn't thrilled by the diversion from the current monotony.
βPacific Fields; Bluffington, Minnesota. You have money, we have honey. What can I do for you today?β
Setting
0.00 INK
βI called you earlier to make small talk and you were out. Is Lola alright?β
An unplugged air hockey table sat in one corner, unused for weeks and dusty as a result. Two old and worn couches sat near a television that showed nothing but the snow of static and a large icon showing that it had been muted. A lone employee, human by appearance and wearing the company vest with 'Mark' on the name badge, sat on one cushion and was slumped backward with drool slowly leaking from his mouth. David nudged the employee's foot with his own to rouse the sleeping youth, smirking as the boy woke with a start.
βThat's for the princess,β he said, still half way in the dream. Looking around the room before finally seeing David, Mark remembered where he was and immediately looked nervous.
βYes boss?β
βMark, I'm going to be making a delivery to a Dr. Goodman. Anybody comes trying to find me, you tell them I'll be back in thirty minutes.β
βUh, sure boss.β The boy, a new hire, looked nervous about the responsibility laid upon him but nodded in understanding.
David continued on into the storage area and plucked a bottle of honey from where the fresher batches were being stored before being shipped to fill orders across the state. The bottle was shaped like a Faun, specifically Pan playing his flute. That Pan would use his likeness as the bottle of his brand of honey still struck David as overly narcissistic to this day, but that wasnβt something you argued with the boss about. You just used the bottle and tried to make the best damn honey you could.
Finally reaching his car, David opened the trunk and removed a fold-up bicycle that he used for deliveries, putting the honey into a messenger bag and putting that over his shoulder. He mounted the bike and pushed off, heading for the hospital and towards Dr. Goodman. It was only a mater of minutes.
The setting changes from Bluffington, Minnesota to The Lake
βYou look like youβve had a rough day.β
Leopold looked up with an expression equivalent to that of a drowning man who had just been told heβs slightly damp and gave the newcomer a onceover. βYeah, well youβre not so hot yourself, honey.β He scoffed and returned to glowering at his hooves. Leoβs ears swiveled towards the sound of a body dropping beside him and arched a thick, inquiring brow. When the girl made no move to leave, Leopold sighed and let his prickly aura deflate, βHe just doesnβt understand how mad he makes me. Or maybe he does and gets a kick out of seeing me all riled up. The sick bastard.β He fumed, ears twitching irritably, βThat douche-canoe had the fucking gall to flick dirt on my face! Right below my eye!β He jabbed a painted nail at the spot for emphasis and let out a frustrated snarl. βSometimes I just want to pound his smug little face into the mud, he just makes me so mad, ya know?β He sighed heavily, body sagging, βGods, I hope his karma is a bitch.β
Inhaling deeply he let out a sharp breath and a considering hum, βYa know, that actually felt way better than blogging.β He flicked his gaze over the young woman again. The small smile of appreciation vanished as quickly as it appeared, replaced by a frown and a sigh. "Honestly, sweetie," Leopold lifted a limp strand of hair from her face, "Ever heard of conditioner?"
The setting changes from The Lake to Bluffington, Minnesota
βGood day Xavier. Who needs the potion? Anyone I know?β

Just because you have powers doesn't mean education is thrown out of the window.
