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.]

[he knows, and it really isn't fair. but he didn't exactly make any claims... that it was, did he?

there's a soft frown of consternation at his brow.
]

...Right now, I don't know how safe it is... or how well it'll go over in a place like this. [that at least, was true.] We have to keep what little cards we have close to our chests, okay?

Oh, definitely! I have a sixth sense for this kind of thing!

[Mika huffs a little as she guesses what the noise was. Oh Abel, please don't change, you make this mess slightly more bearable.]

The same cruel souls that drag children and talking animals into a place like this just so they can mess with everyone? But yeah, we managed to miss the spiders in the milk at our house, but not everyone was so lucky.

Does bringing cookies over later count?

[identity profile] notlikethemovie.livejournal.com 2011-09-13 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I'll be over in a few hours at most.

Me too, Cain. Take care.

Then... they're trapped too?

[he offers a small smile that doesn't touch his eyes. he's worried, frightened, as he stretches fingers to blonde hair. he still can't believe this is happening.]

...Be vague. You don't need to give details.

The less they know, the better it'll be... until we find out more about what's going on here. [he absolutely doesn't want either of them to end up... puppets, tools again. 'United States, 1950's' wasn't very reassuring on that point.]

O-Oh, okay.

Um, my name is Nanako. [making introductions.... like a boss]

Y-you... you must be a saint to endure all of this with your sanity intact!! Is there no soul kind enough to rescue a damsel in distress?! What kind of town is this?!

We think so. We don't know much about them because they can't tell us much.

[Her laughter has a sharp edge of hysteria to it, like someone who has spent too much time trying to stay calm and keep her panic under control as much as possible.]

I wouldn't quite put it that way, Abel! We're all in distress now that we're trapped here.

T-That's sad...

Travesty. This is a travesty!!

It is, but we're trying hard to find a way to help everybody. So don't worry, okay?

Well, I guess saying that was a bit of an exaggeration, some people are using this to their benefit and a lot of people here are used to fighting stuff like this so it's hard to judge how everyone's adjusting.

Really? [that's good... and she remembers what Cain was saying earlier]

Okay. Everyone is working together... so we'll be okay.

[if he were a better man, he'd see his brother's discomfort and realize he needed to ease it rather than selfishly take his acceptance and leave it at that.

...alas.

he gives a tiny nod of his head.
]

...It'll be okay.

Using this to their benefit? ...How, exactly, does one manage to work poison milk and homicidal droning to their benefit? I-- I can't stop shaking. We're doomed, aren't we? We're all doomed.

[phone]

[identity profile] notlikethemovie.livejournal.com 2011-09-13 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, we'll be okay.

[Oh gosh she is going to have to talk to everyone she knows to somehow keep this household safe.]
