A. Phone

I just got a phone call from some secretary wanting to know why I'm not at the high school to teach.  Is that how you get a job here?  Because I don't remember applying for a teaching position

B.  Mayfield High School // Teacher's lounge

[There is a rather confused young woman sitting in the teacher's lounge with a large cup of coffee and a set of lecture notes in front of her, thumbing through them and trying to figure out how she's going to manage this teaching thing.  It's obvious that she's new and has been thrown into the deep end.]

Mierda.

C.  Mayfield High School // Spanish classroom

[For the non-drones, there is a new face in the Spanish classroom.  Caroline is sitting on the edge of the teacher's desk, waiting for her new students to arrive.  Not that she has any idea what she's going to do with them when they get here, since the lessons in the lecture notes are terrible.  Who actually speaks Spanish like that, anyway?  She's going to have to wing it.]

[Action, open to 1490 Kramden residents]


With all things taken care of, the results should be in-- Roxanne's starting to feel confident this is just a bug, a hitch in the health, but being sure will put her completely at ease. She wants to be 100% sure--

--and the invitiation to come by the house on Kramden is always open. Ilsa's been so good to her here. So she comes by and rings the bell, waiting to see who answers.

[Action 1: Outside 1333 Benny...in the doghouse]

[White...it's all white. Sonic reaches forward, reaching for anything, not finding a thing until his eyes close again, and his hand hits the ground. It's grass.]

Did...did I just dream that? What was that thing?

[He raises his head a bit before opening his eyes...though they pop open when he bangs his head on the doghouse wall above his head.]

OW!

[Rubbing his head, he blinks and crawls out of the doghouse, clearly confused. And quite naked. Well...naked for him.]

I think it really did happen. The force from the monster's suction must've pulled my gloves clean off.

[He taps his foot against the grass. And notices something much more disturbing.]

My shoes! Ok, now i know something's wrong!

[His first instinct is to go bang on the house door nearest to him.]

HEYYY! Open up!

[Action 2: In town]

Man...this sucks.

[No speed. None at all. And even if he COULD go fast, his feet would likely burn up from the friction of the ground. And the concrete against his bare feet didn't feel too great to move at whatever speed he could muster.]

Just what is this place? And that monster that brought me here?

[Yep Mayfield...Sonic thinks the Time Eater is part of you.]

[action: 9:00 AM]

[Laying your head down after having spent over 10 years saving the world from certain destruction is a nice reprieve, don't you think? After having been told that he needed to live, after all, what kind of better way to start living than to relax in a warm bed? The mid to late forties adult male, looking more like he's in his late sixties, rolls over in bed only to let his tired eyes open and stare toward an unfamiliar wall. His first reaction was that he was kidnapped, which is why he rolled to the side and onto the floor in his boxers. Oh God, and there went his back, but a few harsh pats with his fist should knock him back into whack.

After this harrowing experience, he'll open the nearest closet to find... none of his old clothes. Instead they look like clothes (right) stolen out of the 1950s. Oh well, it's better than boxers right? Once Snake has properly dressed himself, he'll be walking around the house to do some reconnaissance. It looks like the kind of normal house you might find out of the '50s. What Snake wasn't expecting to find was the cup of coffee set down on the table by the drone mother. Asking her questions was futile, so he just sat down and took a few sips from the coffee. Finally, having decided that his energy was back to the way it should be, he headed toward the nearest phone and tried to dial a random number.]

[phone: 9:30 AM]

This is Snake... [A brief pause, only because Snake realized that he isn't on a mission... yet.] I'm not entirely sure where I've ended up. This place looks more like I traveled back in time. [A joke, though Snake has no idea how accurate he is.] If this was your idea as a vacation spot, Otacon, you've got some weird tastes.

[action: 12:00 PM]

[Having taken in all the information that he may have gotten from the above phone call, Snake decided to head to the nearest park for some relaxation. You'll find him just sitting on the bench, staring up toward the gentle blue sky with his arms relaxed upon the top of it. A gruff sigh escaped him, either out of irritation for his predicament or out of a more calm, serene sort of feeling that the place oddly gave him.]

Phone

[ After a very long pause, muttering a few Russian curses under her breath before finally speaking up, a shaky cough cutting her off every now and then; ]

Someone explain what is happening here. I look around... But everything looks the same, remind me of America. [ Somehow, she didn't exactly spit out his name, there was almost a hint of fondness to it, to those that can actually read her that is. ] Have to leave here, I have things to do.

[ As if the fall of the Soviet Union wasn't enough to put her into turmoil, that and also she couldn't help being torn away from her people, her home. She couldn't bare to staying away from anything she cared about enough. ]

... This a joke?

Action; around afternoon

[ A very annoyed Belarus was tearing through the whole place, huffing and pouting the whole time. Knife in hand, ready to attak anyone who she gets the wrong feeling from -mind you, that would be a lot of people-. Not to mention she was frustrated and scared enough by being here, but strangers is one thing she wasn't hoping for.

Just a clue to get back home, some kind of way. ]

[ A; Action - 1491 Kramden Road; Very Early Morning ]
[ Charles hadn't slept well for over a month, and this night was no exception. Despite the comfortable bed, the odd sensation of not being able to feel one's legs took time to get over. Still, he woke up very early (the sun wan't completely up) and was a bit startled to find someone there. That was the sort of thing he remembered. He removes himself from bed and into the wheelchair nearby (it wasn't his) with much effort. He starts to explore the house. ]

[ B; Action - Around Town; Later Morning/Early Afternoon ]
[ Charles is uncomfortable in this new place. He can't sense anyone - hear their minds, nothing. He started off on Kramden road, but he made his way around town and exploring the city. He did look a little confused, although he was calm. Charles was clearly trying to acquaint himself with the unfamiliar place. And he is definitely new, if only because he seems to be exploring and heading in no particular question. Experience, to him, was key to learning something. ]

[ C; Phone; Anytime - Unfiltered ]
[ There's silence for a moment, he's thinking. ]

I'm not even certain anyone will hear this, or get this. I don't know the phone numbers for anyone here.

[ He pauses for a moment. ]

There is something very off about this place. It seems odd that they would relocate people and provide them with necessities. There should be a trick - a catch it seems.

Action: 747 Partridge and BEYOND


[Being a little girl ranks very high on the list of the worst things that have ever happened to LeChuck, and this includes dying on at least five separate occasions. He's so short. And so female. And his face is as smooth as a baby's bottom.

It's not right. Just not right.

LeChuck is not a man who sits by idly, though, even if he is physically not a man right now. He storms out of the strange house he woke up in and out into the streets of Mayfield in search of his actual body and an explanation as to what in the hell happened. The going is very slow, since he keeps getting stopped by drones wondering why he is not in school right now, young lady.]

...And I'm telling ye, I don't go to school! Never been a day in my life!

[Lend the fearsome pirate captain adorable little girl a hand?]

[ For the most part, Madoka handled the bodyswaps very well. Aside from worrying her head off, anyway. And that one thing with Belphegor.

Despite her worries, Madoka originally attempts to just keep her cheerful attitude up. For most of the weekend she pretends nothing is wrong and tries to ignore the problem. But come Sunday evening, Madoka is beginning to think that's a bad idea. ]

[ Phone ☆ Sunday Evening ☆ Fail!filtered from Bel ]
um... I'm sorry to bother everyone so suddenly, and at this hour of all times... I... I bought some flower seeds.  The books in the library were actually really helpful too, so I think I know what we could plant now for home gardens, if anyone is still interested. [ She laughs nervously, almost letting herself get off topic and sweep the issue under the carpet.

Then sighs. Be tough, she reminds herself, because you need to figure this out. ] But um... more than that, I... I have a question... I guess it's sort of a strange thing to be asking so suddenly and over the phone of all places... [ She breaths in deeply. ] Can you... I mean, if a person... If a person has... k-killed... someone else... people who kill others, are they... is being friends with those types of people bad..?

[ Action ☆ High School ☆ Monday ]
[ Come school time, Madoka will have come to her conclusion. She bakes cookies first thing in the morning, puts them all in a plastic container, and hurries to school. For no particular reason, except maybe to give herself courage, she'll pass out these cookies to people she sees in the hallway all morning and afternoon. So even if you don't know her, expect a shy pink haired girl to approach you and hold out the box. ]
Um... Hello, are you... Do you have a moment to have a cookie?
[ And after building up her courage, Madoka will track Belphegor down and tap his shoulder. Too scared to say anything or look him in the face/bangs. ]
