[Locked to 435 Peepers Street]

[ Obviously this is a dream. Obviously. He can't remember a dream like this, but it's pretty damn elaborate. And bright. He wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not. And as he looked to his left and saw the empty eyes across from him, he found himself leaning towards the latter. This solidified once she uttered the word "children."

Rose from one nightmare to find himself in another. Well then. This was a terrible hand to be dealt.

This place was like nothing he had ever seen, and all of it served to make his headache even worse. However, the detail that stuck out to Spike the most, at least to him, was the fridge. He wasn't even half-dressed, despite (and perhaps fueled by) the doll's constant chittering about him going to work. He was honestly in no hurry. So what harm could a little peek in the fridge do?

So he opens the fridge - and he just stares into it. Anyone coming through the kitchen will notice the half-dressed man standing in front of the fridge, gawking into it's confines. Hypnotized, almost.

Well, wouldn't you be surprised if there's actual meat in the fridge? Come on.

[Action - Throughout the Town - Early Morning]
[ His wife told him he had to go to work. He told her that he didn't have a job, not the kind she was harping about anyway. Hell, he didn't even know who she was, or the brats that were his supposed children. She wasn't having any of that though. She was smiling even more audaciously, and he assumed this was how she showed irritation. There was no winning, it seemed, so he decided to roll with the waves.

He still wasn't planning on going to work. There were plenty of reasons. Biggest one? He had no idea where he was.

So. Step one. Find what the hell this place is. Spike decides to hit the concrete. His coat is draped over his shoulder, and he's giving everything a once over. Needless to say, he does not look impressed. Rather bored, actually, like he's been kidnapped ten times over and this was nothing new.

He's trying to be inconspicuous, but he has a green jewfro and a slump as wide as a camel's back. So.

[Action - Grocery Store - Late afternoon]
[ Spike eventually finds himself buried deep within the confines of the Grocery Store. He's propped up against a wall, his face buried in a magazine. Occasionally his eyes will linger away from the magazine, but only for a second before diving right back in.

It doesn't look like he's here to buy anything. Actually, from the rather heavy bag at his side, it appears as if he's already checked out. Spike is not hiding this fact whatsoever. It also doesn't look like he's going to be shoplifting today either. He's got all the necessities. Nope - all he plans on doing is sitting back to read every last magazine on the shelf, no matter how bland and uninteresting the content is.

He is currently on Ladies' Home Journal. Exciting stuff.

Indeed. It purports to be a town in Middle Merica, on Old Terra, but the simulation has... flaws.

I do not know where we actually are.

Well, for what it's worth, welcome to Mayfield. I'm Paprika.

[She offers a hand to shake.]

Ma'am? Oh, now yer gonna make me feel old now.

[ The wider smile makes her smile now as she visibly relaxes. ]

But, thank ye fer th' compliment. I'm Captain Ambrosia Gray of th' Bloody Mary. Nice t' meet'cha.
dreamofspice: (are you coming along?)

[personal profile] dreamofspice 2012-02-25 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
That's right. It's nice to meet you, Spike.

Some. The drones. That's what we call 'em.

[ A beat. ]

Plenty of folks like us stuck here too, though. Not that it makes anythin' better.

[ He shrugs, because it's the thought that counts, right? ]

That's true. It's important never to lose sight of the little things that give you hope and make you happy, especially in a situation like ours.

[Dad smiles, putting out a hand for a shake.]

The name's Egbert. Nice to meet you, neighbor.
outlandished: (✖ playful.)

[personal profile] outlandished 2012-02-25 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Ye got it, Spike.

[ At his sarcasm, Ambrosia just merely shakes her head. ]

Should I have made it more showy, then?

[Badou just shrugs. It's not something he really feels inclined to fight.]

If yer still here at closin' time, I'm fuckin' lockin' ya in the walk-in freezer.

You know, if the jerks in charge of this place programmed these guys with the personalities of New Yorkers I'd feel much better. Impatient rudeness I can understand. friendly cluelessness is just plain creepy. Plus maybe then I could get a good cannoli...

[Tsukasa nods]

I'm still getting a handle on this place. The magazines are...odd.

He's a big eater, so that's not a concern.

[She gives a faint chuckle.] It can't on its own. But I'm a sorcerer, so of course things would be different. Is this your first time meeting one?
