A Better Place To Live - August 19th, 2012

002 -- {phone//action}

[ First things first, a phone call to the general public: ]

Hello. [ And clearing his throat. Completely not at all awkward, that's him. Oh, wait. ] My name's Rory Williams, I work in the hospital? Got listed as a doctor even though I'm a nurse. I mean, I don't really expect everyone to know me, and congratulations if you've not had to be hospitalized here, but... it usually helps to introduce myself.

Anyway. Apart from the part where I make sure everyone knows that they should go to the hospital if they need to- which you should- I was actually wondering how many people with medical experience we have here. Uh- nurses, doctors, surgeons and everything. People who've gotten back healing powers. Maybe even people who'd like to learn a bit of first aid in case of emergency? It's just. It's been really quiet lately, and I thought that now might be a better time to try to find out who we have where and what they can do. Nothing stays quiet forever. We could probably do with a little pre-emptive organization.

So, uh. Yes. Thanks.

[ And then all that action.

Which is honestly mostly just Rory going to work and then eventually deciding he's too old for this 'finding reasons to not pop in on the Doctor' bullshit. ]

✿四十六

✿action at the bakery

[ Since Hong Kong arrived back in Mayfield again he's been busy adjusting to his new job at the bakery. Unfortunately, ~~inhaling~~ eating half of the products probably isn't really part of the job description and when he isn't serving a customer all too often he can be found behind the counter contentedly munching on cookies or cakes etc. Oh yes, he definitely likes this job.

At least he has actually been cooking too though and there's now a number of new Chinese additions to the menu, including the tray he's just brought out and is offering to you. ]

Would you like to try a cha siu bao? Careful, they're like, still hot.

✿phone call for Charles

[ Back at 912 Bilko Boulevard and Hong Kong is making a phone call in the kitchen to his old not!son. ]

Wai. So like, you want to come round and eat with me and Taiwan? Or are you 'too busy' or whatever?

fifteen ❖ the surprise

( cut for introspection )

option a: phone

[When Suzumiya Haruhi picks up the phone with the usual drone filter, she sounds very tense (even though she's trying her best to sound normal, excited). Which obviously means that the conversation is dead serious.]

Ahem.

[There's a short, overdramatic pause before she clears her throat and speaks up.]

Anyway! I'm Suzumiya Haruhi, the brigade chief of the SOS Brigade -- at least, if you didn't already know that -- otherwise known as the most important brigade in all of Mayfield, no - the entire multiverse!

[Though there's probably only one brigade to begin with. Not that Haruhi knows that, of course.]

But... I didn't call to answer any of your trivial questions about the brigade, so don't go asking them. If you want to ask any of those questions, just ask Kyon or Yuki! I'm not in the mood to answer any questions, so don't bother asking any.

I'm going to ask a very important question. If you don't have a good answer, then you shouldn't even answer it at all, got it?

[Though she's honestly going to be lenient about this. Probably. Most likely.]

So, hypothetically speaking, if you were to find something... [There's another pause.] ... like a picture, or a message that isn't supposed to exist belonging to somebody you trust, what would you do? Hypothetically speaking, of course! And if any of you give me a lame answer, I'll make sure there's a penalty to go with it, alright?

That is all!

option b: john doe park

[In the afternoon, an uncertain Haruhi lies down next to a tree, opening, closing, and literally just messing around with the screen of a cell phone that obviously doesn't belong to her. At least, until she stares down at the wallpaper, frowning.

After all the talk about "shinjin", or 'Celestials' -- she doesn't know what to believe anymore. If he was telling the truth, then that wasn't a dream. Those blue giants were real. And maybe this picture was real, too.

But it didn't make any sense. Sure, she did enjoy finding the supernatural. But she didn't want it to become the "mundane". Things like this becoming the norm was a no-no.

... Damn it.

The mere fact that this picture existed definitely bothered her. And the big question lingered in her mind. Why?

Do you dare to approach?]

transmission 002 [Action]

[ A. At the Hospital ]

[Aria can't believe how primitive the technology is, needles and drugs that's she's sure haven't been in circulation in millennia from what she knows. Even the life support machines and equipment she believes should be a museum. She's not even sure why she's there as a nurse, she's better at killing people than patching them up. So Aria will be wandering the hospital, muttering to herself, trying to avoid as much of the outdated equipment as possible, lest it kill her.]

I can't believe how primitive this place is, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't even know how to scan for basic toxins in someone's blood. They probably think radiation will give them superpowers, not kill them.

[B. Around Erwin Road - Evening]

[Aria will be sitting on her front stoop, picking the petals off of several flowers she picked from the garden while her drone kids run amok in the yard and street. Does she really care? Nope. So if anyone cares to actually parent go right ahead.]

10th Tea Party: Shameless Simplicity (Also, haters gonna hate)

Action: John Doe Park

(Anyone passing by the park might notice Kreutzer flying over it and scouting over it from above. After gesturing for her dolls to follow, she touches down on the ground while her dolls begin to carry in...furniture? Yup, that's most certainly a table they're carrying in. And chairs. And various pieces of silverware, including cups, spoons and even a few tea kettles. Once they're all finished, the scene is wonderfully decorated and welcoming with treats, chairs and even a lovely parasol for shade. Yup...she just put together a three minute tea party.

Kreutzer takes her own seat and begins drinking tea, but there's more tea and tea party treats than she can consume herself. There's also multiple chairs around the table. Care to join in?)

7th Book: Unicorn Take Flight

Action: Outside 1247 Williams

(There is a purple hot air balloon placed right outside the house, as well as one purple unicorn tending to it as if she were preparing to put it to use. Despite any initial thoughts one may have about a pony using a hot air balloon, it's pretty clear Twilight's used this one many times before.)

And...check!

(She marks something off of her checklist.)

And that covers just about everything. We're all set for takeoff!

Action: John Doe Park

(Since Twilight's regained all of her spell books, she's happily gone back to reading through them because YAY BOOKS FROM HOME! She can be seen resting under a tree in the park, reading through her books and occasionally practicing her magic. Don't worry; she's making very sure not to hit anyone close by with her spells. It's mostly harmless stuff, but occasionally she'll try an offensive spell or even try flying herself around a bit, giggling as she does so. It's great having some of her books again.)
