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.]

this is me forever yes THANKS orz

[As long as it doesn't inconvenience him in the process! ;;] Okay. Would you like to try some green tea? We've spoken about it last time, and I just so happen to have received some from the mailman a few days ago. There's Earl Grey too, if you'd prefer something more traditional? [She'll lead him to the common kitchen in the back, then. It's built in the sort to resemble a soup kitchen, but the purpose itself is cancelled out because Mayfield is "perfect", so anything constructed with charity in mind won't be needed other than for the sake of appearance.

In other words, the Church's kitchen is not very much used, but it's still there so might as well! The large table can come in handy, too.]

Then I do hope you'll like green tea. It'll be trying out something new too, wouldn't it? [She'll get that started! Water in the boiler and then up on the stove, while getting the tin can for leaves and the tea set to pour in. She doesn't have the material to prepare it traditionally, but at this rate, the town may just give her that back next time regains come... But that'd be something for another time!

That said, she will throw another curious glance at the mountain of boxes and bags that they've left at the table.]
Mm, were you out shopping because Christmas is nearing, Cain?

[She chuckles quietly.] You've certainly gotten a very good hold of the holiday spirits, Cain. Hopefully the town'll let it go this year, too... [Though that somewhat wistful and not-quite-right sounding statement seems more muttered to herself...] May I ask what you've gotten so far? Maybe I could help you with some gift ideas, too?

Those do sound like good gift ideas. Do you know how to pack gifts with wrapping paper and ribbons, and do you know what your friends like?
