011 Resolutions

[A: Action; Locked to Housemates]

[Cain is in the front room, carefully taking down the Christmas decorations. He's got a wide smile on his face, even if there's a slightly wistful look in his eyes as he winds up tinsel and packs away baubles.]

[B: Around Town (Open)]

[On the way to the store this morning, Cain was enjoying the crisp weather now that the town was no longer in the grips of a deep freeze. He's kicking a stone idly as he walks, making a game out of trying to land it on a certain spot each time, when he accidentally kicks it a bit too hard.

--SMASH--!!

It's gone right through the window of a nearby building. Maybe that was your house? The shop you work in? Or maybe you just happened to see the incident and want to laugh at the horrified expression on Cain's face?]


[C: Phone (Open)]

New Year is a time for resolutions in a lot of places and, though I've never made them before, I thought I would this time. So... here we go. I resolve to greet everyone I meet here and make new friends, as well as grow closer to the friends I already have. I resolve to help everyone make it through anything this town throws at us, as well as do my part in finding a way home. I resolve to dye my brother's hair pink at least once this year, and I resolve... to have resolve, to keep looking forward and not let anything break me down.

Do any of you have resolutions? Big or small?

(Engie breathes a sigh of relief. Glass can really hurt you know!!

As for Cain's question...)

Well, it was an accident. How did it happen anyway?

(Too...cute...Engie's heart just melts. He can't stay mad at you when you look like that!)

Ya didn't mean it, an' like ya said, it was jus' an accident. I've had my share of accidents, an' jus' because I'm an adult doesn't mean I haven't stopped blowin' up the kitchen! Not on purpose of course, but ya git what I mean.

How 'bout ya help me clean up the glass, then we call it even?

Handwave?

Let's get to it then! I'll go get the broom and the dustpan.

(And they all lived happily ever after...not.

Well, as happy as things can get. When Cain's done, he'll notice that Engie's brought him a cup of hot chocolate and some cookies. They're crumble and burnt here and there, but they should still be edible.)

Here. Thanks fer alla your help Cain.

(Good thing that the cookies are slightly burnt; hopefully the black bits are bitter enough to tone down the sweetness. Engie, on his part, is clueless to Cain's discomfort. I mean, which kid doesn't like hot chocolate? He takes a sip of his own mug.)

You be careful from now on, ok? There are crazy people out here in Mayfield, an' it might be dangerous ta make'em angry.
