Application for Aladdin

[agrabahrat.livejournal.com]

Aladdin is grinning as he races through the streets of Agrabah, although he really shouldn't be, what with the whole being chased after by bloodthirsty guards and all. Cornered, he runs up stairs, grabs his little monkey friend, then jumps out a window. The guards will follow, he knows, but they're not nearly as able to float on non-animated rugs as he is.

"All you gotta do is juuuuuuuump!" he sings out cheerfully.

Then he lands, and what in the world is going on?

Mickey coughs theatrically. “What is your name?"
Aladdin looks surprisingly unnerved by the two-dimensional talking mouse. It probably had something to do with his ability to communicate with a monkey. “I’m Aladdin, but you can call me Al if you want.”

"What is your quest?" asks the Cat. It's perched, suddenly, on the roof of one of the gate-stiles.
“To survive, mostly.” That doesn’t seem like a very noble quest, so Aladdin continues. “Oh, and to find out what happened to my dad. And where’s Abu?”

"What is the average w..?" Mickey frowns down at the notebook. "You know, I don't really see why that's important." He flips a page. “If you could be granted three wishes, what would they be?"
“Oh, wow, I really don’t know. I doubt that’ll ever happen anyway, so I don’t really see how it matters.” After thinking for a moment, Aladdin returns to his earlier questioning. “Abu, you know, monkey? In a vest? With a little hat?”

"Or," the Cat says, examining its tail with interest, "if you were a genie and someone you were trying to give three wishes to was trying to trick you into giving him more, what would you say?"
“Well, if they could get away with it then more to them. It probably takes a lot to outsmart a genie. Well, a smart genie. The monkey, probably stealing something? Is this ringing any bells?”

Mickey looks rather nonplussed at the next, but reads, “When the revolution comes, what skills will you be able to barter for food?"
“Barter? Why on earth would I do that? I mean, I suppose it would be less dangerous than stealing, but where’s the adventure in that?”

The Cat rolls its eyes in a friendly (and rather disconcertingly out-of-sync) way, and asks, "Milk, dark, or white chocolate?"
“What?” Aladdin looks confused. Chocolate? That’s not something he’s heard of. “Um… what is that?” He appears to have given up on his search for Abu. The little guy can probably take care of himself for a little while anyway.

“Choose the two coolest: robots, pirates, fairies, bears, ninjas, monkeys, vampires, or humans,'" says Mickey, giggling a bit as he goes through the list. “Explain."
Finally, an easy question. Well, the rest of them had been pretty easy. The chocolate one had thrown him for a loop, though. "Humans and monkeys," he answers promptly. "Because I'm a human, obviously, and Abu is a monkey." That, and he doesn't really know what half of the other things are.

"Great!" Mickey flips through the blank pages of the notebook at top, cartoon-y speed. "Well, I think that's just about it! Oh, and I'm supposed to ask, 'for your safety: are you carrying anything sharp?"
Aladdin glances around for a second. "Um... no? Wait, why for my safety, do I need something sharp?" There don't seem to be any convenient Agrabah guards standing around waiting to drop their swords. Speaking of which, where is he?

((Obviously, this is Aladdin. From... um... Disney's Aladdin. I’m taking him from the very, very beginning of the first movie. Think right after the One Jump song.))

Rakka feels curious about the strange boy she spots some distance away from her. Having bid goodbye to her new acquaintances and, with nothing left to do while waiting except trying to make new friends she sets to do just that.

She approaches timidly and introduces herself "Hello, I'm Rakka" she says smiling, her short wings twitching a bit with her nervousness.

[agrabahrat.livejournal.com]

Aladdin looks a bit confused at the sudden appearance of a new person, but takes it all in stride. Even though.... she has wings. Okay, that's a little odd. "Hello there, Miss Rakka," Aladdin says with a grin. "I'm Aladdin."

[agrabahrat.livejournal.com]

Aladdin grins cheerfully at this strange new person. "Hello. I'm Aladdin. Wait, do you already know that?"

[agrabahrat.livejournal.com]

"Oh, it is? Well, I suppose that explains where the people are coming from," Aladdin says, taking things in stride remarkably well. He's always been pretty adaptable.

Aladdin shakes Kira's hand rather forcefully, pumping it up and down with a wide grin. "Well it's wonderful to meet you, Kira, although I'm a little confused about exactly what's going on."

[agrabahrat.livejournal.com]

"Oh, there's more people here?" Aladdin looks hopeful for a second. "You haven't seen a monkey, have you?" Then his mind reviews everything that Kira had said, and he looks shocked. "Free? Everything, including food and lodging?" Well, Aladdin just hit the jackpot, apparently. "And what are the different lands? I'm going to go out on a limb and say one of them isn't Agrabah."

[agrabahrat.livejournal.com]

Aladdin looks positively gleeful, although part of him is wondering if maybe he'll lose his touch and be caught the second he sets foot back in Agrabah. "How does it restock itself? I'm assuming that there aren't any vendors, since you said everything is free..."

Chii enters the scene wide-eyed and curious, and eager to meet a new person.

"Hello, Aladdin-san!" she says, before giving a bow and happily giving her name. "My name is Chii. Chii doesn't know what a monkey is, or what it looks like, but if you tell Chii, Chii will help you look for Abu-san."

[agrabahrat.livejournal.com]

Aladdin ignores the strange addition to his name - it could be worse, after all. He bows back to her, although his involves quite a bit more flourishing and a tipping of the hat. "It's lovely to meet you, Miss Chii. A monkey is like a small fuzzy person, sort of. With a tail. And you would certainly recognize Abu, since he has on a vest and a hat somewhat like mine." Here he gestures to his own clothing.

[ningyou-hime.livejournal.com]

"Lovely to meet Aladdin-san too," Chii says, then listens about the monkey. When Aladdin speaks of his clothes, Chii observes them carefully and nods her head.

"Chii will remember and look. Does Aladdin-san want Chii to go look now?"

[agrabahrat.livejournal.com]

"Oh, you don't have to look for him, I'm sure he can take care of himself. But if you do happen to see him could you please let me know?"

[ningyou-hime.livejournal.com]

Chii tilts her head, but readily accepts this, telling Aladdin, "Chii will keep watch for Abu-san, for Aladdin-san." And seeing as it's her new favourite question, next to job related ones, Chii asks, "Where does Aladdin-san live?"

[agrabahrat.livejournal.com]

Having already cottoned onto the fact that he isn't in Agrabah anymore, Aladdin decides to go with that as a broader answer, instead of trying to describe his hovel home. "I live in a city called Agrabah, which I can already tell is a lot different from here. For one thing, it's in the middle of the desert. Where is here, anyway?"

[ningyou-hime.livejournal.com]

"Here is Disneyland, planet unknown," Chii tells Aladdin, rather happily. "Chii is from Disneyland," she decides to add on, proudly. Then comes her next favourite question. "Does Aladdin-san have a job in Agrabah?"

[agrabahrat.livejournal.com]

Aladdin looks a little uncomfortable. "I'm sorta... between jobs, at the moment," he says, a blatant lie, but it seems like a better idea than saying that just steals things.

[ningyou-hime.livejournal.com]

[[EEEEEE! That icon is WIN! 8D]]

Chii tilts her head, then brightens with a smile. "Chii doesn't have a job either! Chii is learning so she can help Fay-mommy with his job."

[agrabahrat.livejournal.com]

((Isn't it? I love it so much. <3))

For some reason, Aladdin figures that Chii's not-job is much, much more legal than his own. "Well we can be unemployed together, then!" Aladdin somehow misses the mommy/his connection, and keeps right on going. "What are you learning?"

[ningyou-hime.livejournal.com]

[[Yes! XD]]

And Aladdin's probably very right.

Chii happily points in the direction of New Orleans Square (not that it can be seen from here), and tell Aladdin, "Chii learns with Fay-mommy at the Cat's Eye Café in New Orleans Square. Chii lives there with Fay-mommy, Kuro-daddy and Sakura-sister."

[agrabahrat.livejournal.com]

Cat's Eye Café? That sounds like it means food! Aladdin doesn't know where New Orleans Square is, but that won't deter him at all. Unfortunately, though, the fact that he knows Chii works there probably will. He always was a bit too ethical to be an effective thief. "What's it like, working at a Café?" he asks, genuinely curious, although the question could just has easily as been about working in general.

[ningyou-hime.livejournal.com]

Chii smiles and repeats, "Chii doesn't work yet," then she adds, "But Chii likes it there. Chii tries to help with making the food and is learning. And it is fun. People also come into the café a lot. Chii thinks Aladdin-san should go there for a meal."

"Okay, Aladdin, you ready to find out which of our excitin' lands you'll be livin' in?"

[agrabahrat.livejournal.com]

Okay, maybe Aladdin's a little weirded out by the talking mouse, but he tries to ignore it.

"Sure am, Mr. Mouse," he replies with a grin.

[mickey-mous.livejournal.com]

"If you'd like to be near Agrabah, I should prob'ly put you in Fantasyland!"

[agrabahrat.livejournal.com]

Aladdin has absolutely no idea what that means, but he figures that it'd be better to figure it out himself than ask the mouse.

"That sounds fine to me!"

He really, really wished Abu was here.

[mickey-mous.livejournal.com]

"Okie-dokie! Then I'm puttin' you in Fantasyland. Your mail will go to Aladdin (http://community.livejournal.com/dizzy_land/tag/aladdin). Welcome to the Happiest Place on Earth!"

((And if you'll put your contact info here (http://community.livejournal.com/dizzy_backstage/1307.html) you'll be all set to play. :D))
