First Cookie || Nothing Says Home Like Chocolate Chip

[swineprince]

A. [Action: 1487 Kramden Road, morning]

[The bed feels empty. That is his first thought upon waking, before his eyes open. His second thought is, I should make pancakes this morning. He rolls over and reaches out expecting to find his husband Chris or at least some warmth in the bed where he'd been only to find... The edge of the bed? He reaches out for Chris with his tail only to find... Nothing? He can't feel his tail! He sits up and looks behind himself. Nothing there!

Except pajamas.

He squeaks and scrambles out of the bed in this small, strange room. He opens the door and pads out into the living room and the kitchen...]

Where am I?!


B. [Action: High School, throughout the school day]

[There's another new student. At the moment, he's a little reserved, but he has a tupperware full of homemade chocolate chip cookies and he will offer one to anyone who approaches.]


C. [Action: About Town, afternoon]

[Ebony is a little lost trying to find his way home. He still has some cookies left in his tupperware if you would like to go talk to him.]

I think I'm lost.

[extraordinarily]

Seriously?

[Haruhi’s walking home from school, and she’ll stare at this idiot, dumbfounded.]

… I guess it’s typical for new people to get lost easily. Hey, do you need help? Where are you trying to go to?

[swineprince]

Oh, I... I'm trying to go back "home"... Uhm... I think it's on Kraken?

[extraordinarily]

Oh.

[Haruhi's quiet after a while.]

Is that the name of the street?

[swineprince]

I might have read it wrong. [He looks a little embarrassed.]

[schooling]

[Yuuko is sitting at the kitchen table when Ebony walks in, half-eating and half-playing with a bowl of cereal. She looks up, startled, when he speaks. Ohh, this isn't someone she knows.]

Ah! Breaking and entering so early in the morning? You're so energetic!

[swineprince]

I... I'm not breaking anywhere! I just woke up in some strange bed in this strange house and my ail is gone and where am I? This doesn't make sense!

[schooling]

A tail? Ohhh, you must be new. No one has those sorts of things when they first get here.

[She nods, knowingly. She sounds like she has all the answers, but she's really only slightly more informed than the new guy.]

But if you woke up here... You must have been dropped here by whatever left me last month and I missed it! Now, I'll never know how they did it! That's no good at all.

[ineffablytartan]

Good morning, dear.

[Aziraphale doesn't seem startled to find a stranger in his kitchen. He's getting used to the things that Mayfield throws at him now. Straightening his wings out behind him, he heads towards the cupboard.]

Take a seat and I'll explain what's going on. Would you like some toast?

[swineprince]

[He stares with his mouth agape. Wings?!]

Wha-wha-what?! Are you an angel?!

[ineffablytartan]

[Aziraphale glances at the new boy, then gives him a reassuring smile.] I am, and I'm afraid I can't retract these for now. If I hit you with them, I apologise. [He's at least getting better at remembering where they are now.]

[ Action ♥ High School ]

[priceofmagic]

[ Satou stops when she notices the cookies. Eying them curiously, with a bit of doubt. Because it's still an odd thing for a stranger to notice her, let alone offer her anything. ]

... Can I help you, sir?

( Derptou has ability permissions, if you have a spare moment? )

[swineprince]

[He blinks at the "sir" and looks around to try and find someone around who looks like a "sir".]

Uh... Uhm... I'm a little new here...

[priceofmagic]

Au...? Ah--- uu!

[ The sound is a bit strained. Satou steps back and bows, apparently flustered by this news. ]

Oh, I'm sorry! No wonder I don't recognize you, um-! I'm Satou! D-did you just arrive today o-or?

[C!]

[tofightfor]

[Fang hasn't gotten all the streets down yet, but she's been very actively working on that. It bothers her to not be better acquainted with her surroundings and she knows Snow's here but hasn't managed more than a phone call with him yet. Though if Serah's here... She can hardly blame him for being all tied up. It'd been so long since he saw her, they had a lot of lost time to make up for. Though there was one thing she'd noticed quite quickly, the drones, as useless as they may be most of the time, where basically familiar with the place so when someone make comment about being lost, it's an instant tip off. Fang'll hesitate a moment before moving closer over to the boy.]

Where ya lookin' for?

[swineprince]

Oh, I... I'm trying to get back to the house I woke up in this morning. I think it was on Kraken?

[Well he has most of the letters right...]

[tofightfor]

[Kraken? Fang turns thoughtful a moment. It's not a street she recognizes but that technically doesn't mean anything either.]

Not famila'. [She shifts, taking a glance around for a moment.]

Maybe there's a map around 'ere sumwhere.

[thebeastwithout]

[The person he has approached appears to be deep in thought. Also bright green.]

Huh?

Oh! Hey. Lost, huh? Where're you trying to go?

[swineprince]

I'm... Well, I'm trying to get back to that house I woke up in with the nice angel. I think it was Kraken Street?

[thebeastwithout]

[blink]

Uhhhh. Wow, this is your first day, dude? Haha, most people run around screaming about demanding to get back home or something.

Kraken, huh?

[Given that Beast Boy has been here since November, he ought to know by now.]

Go left over there, take two rights, then go straight, and I think there's kind of this big tree with two branches that you have to cut behind. You just look for the house with the red mailbox after that and keep following and, uh.... wait, no, blue mailbox. I think. Turn right at the blue mailbox! Then ya go down the next street and turn left towards the high school - elementary school -- ...the bar?

Wait, didja say Stevens or Bilko?

[or not]

C and DAMNIT WRONG ACCOUNT

[perfectsymmetry]

Ah... Well that happens a lot around here, till you get used to it. Where are you headed?

It's okay bb!

[swineprince]

[Oh, hi. You're cute. Don't mind Ebony staring for a moment.]

Oh, uhm... I'm trying to get back to the place I woke up this morning. I think it was on Kraken?

[perfectsymmetry]

Oh, so you're very new then. [Crowe smiles at the mix-up of the name.] I think you mean "Kramden", yeah? It's just three streets over that way. [points] If you want, I can show you.

[kleptophile]

[Lyn could care less about new students in general; they're coming in all the time. But students who are rumored to be giving away free cookies? That is worth his attention.

It's not hard to find the guy in question, since he's got the tupperware container in hand. He strides right up to the kid.]

Are you seriously just handing out cookies? [It's part genuine inquiry - why would you just hand out cookies you could be eating yourself? - and part obvious angling to get one.]

[swineprince]

[Eb looks over at the newcomer and offers him a broad smile.]

It's an easy way to make friends.

[He opens up the tupperware and holds it out to him.]

My name's Ebony. Ebony Oblivian.

[kleptophile]

[Lyn gives the boy a long look, accompanied with the arched eyebrows he believed that name deserved. He at least has the foresight to take two cookies before he comments on it.]

Lemme guess. Your parents were Darkclaw Nightshade and Dawnstar Morningdew, right? Did they play a lot of World of Warcraft?
