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.]

Abel snap out of it for a second and listen!

[Did she just...growl at him? That was a very wolf-like growl. The seriousness in her voice is obvious, but she doesn't sound angry with him at all.]

Yes, there are some people who use the situations the town lands us in to their benefit. There's at least one girl who was forced into drinking milk laced with razor blades while her "father" sat there and watched her down the bottle. He was smiling the whole time, and from what I've heard her talk about that's only the beginning of how awful he can be.

There are some really shady characters in this place, and a lot of them will abuse the positions the town has given them in order to do what they please. There isn't much I know of that we can do about it, but there's a lot more than just the town you'll have to worry about.

[;A; such a sweetheart.... and Nanako makes a little 'oh' noise]

Oh, um... my name is Nanako. What's your name?

My name is Mika Whitepaws. You can call me Mika if you want to.

[Her tail is thumping against the couch cushions as it wags.]

[haha, she hears the thumping but just assumes it's... something else, like a doc next to her or something]

I-It's nice to meet you, Ms. Mika.

[Oh if only she knew.]

It's nice to meet you too, Nanako. I'll be stopping by with some cookies later, so if somebody funny looking shows up at the door with a huge basket, it's probably me.

[She sounds chipper as she makes lighthearted fun of herself, but she doesn't want to scare Nanako by appearing and being a giant fluffmonster out of nowhere.]

Ah, r-really? [asdghads that's so nice ;; and really catches Nanako off guard]

Y-You don't have to do that, um, we have food here. [she feels bad ;;]

I guess so but they won't give teenagers licences to fly those as easily.

[identity profile] pants-yourmove.livejournal.com 2011-09-13 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, hello.

Are you new here too?

[phone]

[identity profile] notlikethemovie.livejournal.com 2011-09-13 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, really!

It's okay, I baked too many earlier and we won't eat them all at our house, so I might as well share.

[Actually, knowing her housemates the cookies would all be eaten but nobody really needs to power through an extra three dozen cookies.]

Nightroad is a pretty cool name.

Nice to talk to you. Did you all come over together??

[identity profile] custodismundi.livejournal.com 2011-09-13 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[he takes his silence as doubt, and... tilts forehead to rest against forehead. kiddo ;;]

It will. You're-- my brother, big or little or anything in between, right? So...

[h... ha; he is starting to wonder if that's really sunk in himself.]

[identity profile] pants-yourmove.livejournal.com 2011-09-13 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, um, just Aaron will do!

[identity profile] custodismundi.livejournal.com 2011-09-13 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you think so? Well, it's the only one I've had, so I suppose it's good you like it! Thumbs up!

Mm, it looks that way. Though, it's only Esther, Cain and I that seem to be related to the same 'home,' it'd seem. Miss Nanako is on her lonesome, and Miss Rachel's been here a bit before us. We sort've all dropped in on her at once...! She's been very accommodating.

[identity profile] junescutie.livejournal.com 2011-09-13 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh huh. We all woke up here together.

[identity profile] pants-yourmove.livejournal.com 2011-09-13 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but they're more expensive too... I guess flying cars aren't practical. Still, it'd be cool to see them all.

T-Thank you... [.////.]

Um, I can't wait to try them.

[identity profile] pants-yourmove.livejournal.com 2011-09-13 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow, a lot of people form your home.

You all come from the future, right?

[identity profile] pants-yourmove.livejournal.com 2011-09-13 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, if you need anything, you can just ask. I've been here a little while so I have some things figured out.

[...a-ah. a girl forced to drink... razor-blade laced milk? he hadn't thought about the potential of children paired off with 'less than eligible' parents, now that he's on the subject.]

...How many 'residents' of Mayfield are non-drones, Miss? Could you guess...?
