kinship: ([sad] unwanted future)

001 Clone Chaos

[A: Lounge - Abel and Cain]

[Cain and Abel have been left alone, smaller brother still clinging to the taller one like a limpet. He knows he should let go, but this is so confusing and there is an ache in his chest that says all is not right between them. It's wrong to see his brother and not look into an identical face (albeit set in a scowl), it's wrong to see distress and grief in his eyes when they meet, and he wants it to go back to how it should be.]

...

[B: Kitchen - Rachel, Esther and Nanako]

[Having left the two failures alone the three girls have adjourned to the kitchen, where everything is set up and ready for the perfect mother to cook and clean for her family.

Or something like that.]


[C: Phone - Open to All]

[Some time later, after the emotional rollercoaster of that talk with Abel and still somewhat shell-shocked, Cain has come to himself enough for it to sink in there were others trapped here like them, and if they are all going to be working together then they needed to get acquainted. So there's a young boy's voice over the telephone, sounding calm and friendly. It's just a shame the background noise is less soothing.]

Ah-- Good evening, people of Mayfield. My name is Cain Knightlord and I've just arrived, along with most of the others in this house. Miss Alucard was already here; but the other new people are Abel Nightroad, Esther... [He didn't get her last name, so there's a small awkward pause.] ...and Nanako Dojima. I won't bore you with questions, Miss Alucard has been kind enough to explain most of what we need to know, but--

[What he says next is lost, as there comes a feminine screech from the kitchen, ranting something about 'housewives' and 'lazy priests making their own breakfast'. There's a crash of something heavy and squawk, before finally Cain's voice is audible again.]

--so I'm sure you'll agree with me. If it's not too much trouble, we'd love to get to know you all in return, so please don't be strangers.

[ooc: Part C is open to all and might be responded to by everyone in the house (Cain, Abel, Esther, Nanako and Rachel.]

And you too! I hope you'll have a safer time here than most.

[oh..... she sounds like an nice older lady. Nanako has been hanging around Cain for some of the introductions, but she'll be brave and say hi to this lady as well]

H-Hello.

Ohhh, who's this?

[the madame sounds very friendly, in contrast with Nanako's shyness.]

Well...I hate to say it, but this place can get pretty awful when it wants to be.

[She tries not to think of everything she saw when she had her run-in with the drugged milk.]

The 'pleasant 1950's American Dream town' is a huge cover-up for something much worse, it just hardly shows it half the time.

I just found out I live at 1665 Nelson Street. You can't miss it, there's a house made of clouds and rainbows floating right above it.

Well, what are they trying to make? Maybe they could use a hand.

[She takes a deep breath and seems to sit down from the sounds, rubbing her forehead.]

You'll want to pass this on to everyone in the house if they're new, because this place can, and does, get really dangerous on a regular basis from what I've seen and been told.

This whole town seems to be a social and medical experiment by a scientist, and I don't remember his name but he's currently 'droned' himself in the body of a young girl. At least once a month everything goes completely haywire around here; the milk left by the milkman being poisoned, the police dragging people in for interrogation, it seems like it's not a big deal at first. People get droned--brainwashed into behaving like what the people running this town consider a model citizen--and don't remember anything about who they are aside from what their role in this town is. Sometimes when they get droned they turn on people who the town thinks needs punishing which is anyone who isn't following the town's rules.

That's when the violence breaks out. It's when things like that happen, or we're forced into fighting each other. I'm a little foggy on the details since I'm really new around here though.

[haha :') so sweet]

Um, my name is Nanako Dojima.

I'm so sorry. This place is awful enough for the adults, you kids shouldn't have to be put through this too.

[She sounds so sadly resigned to her fate here, but she's sincere in her regret. No one should be forced through things like this. Even if she's slowly growing used to her life being a complete disaster.]

[haha, nanako will chime in to say...]

Um, s-sorry it's so loud.

Cool!

I ask everyone from the future... but do you have flying cars?

['bigger me.' he shakes his head, stiffly, before gently tugging Cain to sit in his lap again, looking down into his face with a small smile.]

I'd remember something like that, right? My big brother disappearing to a strange town with a big me. [he taps his nose gently.] So I think it's safe to say... that you'll be back before he can miss you. [he hopes...]

Madam Foster? It's lovely to meet you, really! Listen, Esther, she sounds so nice. Don't you think you could take a cue or two?

[Oh gosh stop everything this kid sounds tiny and adorable ahhhhhhh--

Mika huffs gently.

It's okay, I don't really mind.

Y-yes, well. Don't mind the ruckus...! My lovely wife is a butterfingers with the pan, that's all... please! By all means, feel free to ignore the din of things colliding with my skull! She's very affectionate with the cookware. I'd invite you over for dinner, but I'm not sure condoning homicide is an appropriate way to create a good first impression while Mrs. Nightroad is in the kitchen.

A~hh... well, it has been a while since I've been such a munchkin, you know. Maybe I'm a little rusty...

[so cute, Cain. ;;]
