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.]

You know, there's a perfectly good solution for that.

You take a newspaper, roll it up, and then get a squirt bottle filled with water. If you can't get the second, use the hose. Then, whenever he misbehaves, you smack him with the newspaper and squirt him with water. Maybe it'll help.

[Mika is secretly enjoying being a troll, please excuse her.]

... I'll keep it mind if he gets too out of hand. [She'll try it by tonight.]

You're welcome! Oh, by the way, do you mind if I stop by? I wanted to bring by some cookies for Cain and Nanako, and I can answer any more questions you all might have if you'd like?

I don't mind at all. Actually I should be thanking you. I'm sure they needed some cookies after the day they've had so far.

I wish I could say that a day like today will be the worst of it. At least the town's peaceful.

Whatever is coming, Father and I will handle it. He may act like an idiot but, he always comes through in the end. We'll be okay as long as he's on our side.

I know, but it's just...this place is awful. I don't doubt either of you, but I don't want you guys getting overwhelmed either.

Trust me when I say this, it only takes one moment of distraction for everything to go completely wrong.

... That's true anywhere. Maybe we can help each other. Your experience could be vitable to us.

My experience is limited, but I will share what I do know. I'll be bringing some letters with me when I come over tonight, they were given to me to pass out to newcomers. They should explain more than I can. If there's anything else you need, there's a lot of people here who have been here a lot longer than I have.

[phone] i just saw there was even a log. late tags for the win?

[identity profile] benevolentstar.livejournal.com 2011-09-17 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll keep that in mind but, I want to look at everything you have before I start going around asking questions. I don't want to make a bad impression.

[Or rather she doesn't trust this phone system not to be listened in on since it is well... open.]

[phone] late tags are always fine too. :3c

It's fine. You can't do much worse than I did when I first arrived, and nobody really answered my questions then. It took me a few days before I got much pieced together.

[There is that too.]

Give me a while to get everything together and I'll be right over.

Alright. It was nice talking to you, Mika.

And to you as well. Peace be with you, Esther. I'll be there soon.
