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.

Comments

[C!]

[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.

[swineprince]

I... I might have read it wrong....

[tofightfor]

[Fang doesn't seem too worried about this, besides, a map is a great tool for having a tactical advantage.]

Sure we can figure it out. [She'll start walking in a direction she's guessing a store is in. They should have a map, right?]

[swineprince]

Maybe if I saw the name again...

[It takes him a moment to realize she's walking away. He darts after her, falling into step beside her quickly.]

Oops.

[tofightfor]

A map can 'elp with that. [A little one track minded right now? Nope, not at all.]

[swineprince]

Oh! Yeah, that would be helpful!

[tofightfor]

[She'll nod in agreement, eyes keeping watch for any stores that may come up.]

Take ya 'aven't been 'ere long, yea?

[swineprince]

No... I just got here today. Have... How long have you been here?

[tofightfor]

Not long. [She's just been actively scouting everything in creation since day one. Finally a store comes into view.]

Maybe we can find sumthin' in there. [Without a thought Fang simply continues on towards the store.]

[swineprince]

[He follows her into the store and looks around.]

Everything is so old fashioned here...

[tofightfor]

[Old fashion? She gives him a glance back. Maybe he's from some place like Cocoon... That would make sense she suspects.]

Come from a place a lot different? [She'll begin browsing the shelves, trying to figure out where they may be stoking the maps. If this place is anything like Cocoon, they should have some just lying around somewhere.]

[swineprince]

Uhm... Not hugely different. Just further in the future than this.

[tofightfor]

Yeah? What's the differences? [Maybe if she could figure out some similar bond between all the worlds it'd help to figure out why the hell they were all here.]

[swineprince]

Well, from what I can tell, there isn't a huge amount of demonic and angelic influences on this town aside from those of us that have been trapped here.

[tofightfor]

Demonic and angelic? [She'll cast him a puzzled glance before turning to examine the shelves again. She wasn't entirely sure where the kid was going with this...]

[swineprince]

Well, yeah... I don't really see our work in this place.

[tofightfor]

[Fang will pull something off the shelf, looking at it for a moment before replacing it.]

An' what would ya work look like? [She can't really say she's dealt with angels and demons much in her life.]

[swineprince]

Uhm... It's hard to describe.

[tofightfor]

Care t'give it a go anyway? [It doesn't seem like she's going to find a map here by the rate this is going. Damn it.]

[swineprince]

uhm... Well, it doesn't seem like there are pockets of intensely bad stuff or intensely good stuff. Of course, that's a little exaggerated, but... yeah.

[tofightfor]

[Fang'll pause for a moment, considering what he had said. She thought she had an idea of what he was getting at but... Wasn't 100% sure. However, maybe poking at things right now wouldn't be the best bet.]

Mm. [And then with the shifting gears.] Not seemin' like we're gonna find a map around 'ere.

[swineprince]

Oh. Damn. That's a shame.

[tofightfor]

Mm. [Is all she'll say in agreement for a moment before turning on her haunches.]

Guess we'll jus' 'afta find it the old fashion way, eh?
