010 Omens of Crusnik

[A: Elementary School (OPEN)]

[What is that sound floating out over the playground at lunch? It's piano music, just basic tunes being repeated over and over again from the open window of the music room. Cain has retired there to study the books that Charles gave him, tireless in his pursuit of being the very best at whatever task was set to him.

Every time he makes a mistake, he repeats that part of the piece over and over again until it's flawless. Anyone at all is free to hear his attempts or tell him to shut up.]


[B: Around Town (OPEN)]

[Tis the season, and all that... It's Cain's first Christmas where he'll actually get to celebrate, instead of watching all the colonists exchange presents while never being part of it himself. He's been saving all the pocket money that his drone not!mother had been giving him (until she got replaced yesterday), as well as the money he got for doing odd-jobs for his friends. So now he's out and about shopping for gifts.

Do you work in any of the stores? Then this blond haired boy might just be peering over the counter with a bright smile. Are you wandering down the street aimlessly? Feel free to bump into Cain as he carries a stack of boxes too high to see over... because clearly that's just asking for trouble.]


[C: Phone (OPEN)]

[Did you order a rousing pep talk by a ten year old today, Mayfield? No... shame, because it's coming anyway.]

Christmas is coming soon... Maybe you celebrate something else in your world, or maybe you don't celebrate anything at all, but here... I think they'll have Christmas. I don't know if anything will happen, but...

Even if it does, and even if it hurts us, we can't let it break us. We have to keep our eyes forward, and we have to stick together. As long as we look out for each other, then we can change the future to whatever we want.

[D: Home (Locked to Housemates)]

[It seemed like he was the first one home, which was a little odd after the drone!Esther housewife who had always been there to welcome him in and tell him to do his homework before dinner. Which, consequently, led to the thought that there was no dinner... Astha didn't seem the type to make a meal for the family based on what he had seen, Rachel had already shown she believed cooking beneath her, and he didn't want to die so Abel was out.

Therefore, whenever anyone else gets home, they might find the youngest non-drone member of the household stood on a chair by the stove. He's pouring over one of the recipes Esther had left behind, not being allowed to go and find any more of his own, and is carefully adding things to a big bubbling pot.]

What, the second time? Seriously?!

[Sunny nods, kicking her feet a little]

Y-yeah, basically. T-They've been taking c-care of me.

[Sunny goes quiet a moment, debating how to answer that. She stops kicking her feet, and looks at Cain, smiling weakly.]

U-Uncle Hal isn't, a-and Snake is f-from before they took me in... so, no?

... Never heard of it.

I won't spoil it then. [Because it won't and it never does, Scratch has been around here long enough to know.]

Struggling won't change whether you are in a group or working as an individual. When the town decides it they will make everyone suffer if they must.

[there's the quiet sound of the front door opening, creaking ajar before shutting again. oh, it looks like Papa Abel is home-- but he's not headed for the kitchen, it seems. those shuffling footsteps are moving for the master bedroom, instead. DO YOU WANT TO BUG HIM OR WAIT FOR HIM TO COME BACK OUT? surely he'd be interested in dinner sooner than later.]
noluckduck: (That thing is a WHAT?!)

[personal profile] noluckduck 2011-12-10 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
... There's a next town over?!

[he tilts his head -- eyes fixing glazedly on the little boy for a moment, before he seems to register who it is and what he just... said, derp.]

H-hey, Cain...! [he looks like hell, to say the least -- but the light isn't up upstairs, yet, so maybe the dark would work in his favor. the last thing he wants to do is... cause his brother pain or fear. if he had anywhere else he could've turned, he would have -- but home is... all he's got in Mayfield.]

[Sunny blinks at the hand, and nods just a little.]

H-he at least believe I was t-telling the truth. A-and it's k-kind of nice to see him when he was h-healthier.

[She talks about it more here in Mayfield than she does at home, surprisingly. Still, she nods and smiles at Cain]

Y-yeah! H-he was being himself b-back when all that mess ha-happened recently. I'm really happy, I have l-lots of nice people around me here, s-so I'm not as scared as when I arrived.

Success comes at not falling to the misery of the town. No matter how it may come about. At least that is what I think. Breaking out would be good too.

[There's the sound of her hand impacting wood.] That must be where the way out is!

[ah. ;( his face falls in response to that same expression in blue eyes... for the life of him, he can't think of the right thing to say to assuage his concern... to make it all better.

so he shakes his head, instead-- trying to head inside the room for the adjoining bathroom. bro ;(
