[ACTION: 625 Topper Street]

[It's a beautiful spring day in Mayfield, and a piercing scream like a thousand banshees dying fills the air of Topper Street and at least five of the surrounding roads.

Frances Fulbright has woken up in a strange bed--again-- and she is not at all happy about it.]

[PHONE]

Well, looks like I'm back in this stupid place again. I don't suppose any of ya idiots even remember who I am. [she thinks she's been gone for like. a month. it's more like a year and a half.]

Comments

[ceasetoexist]

[Well. That didn't help half as much as he'd hoped but he guesses he'll be able to at least get a look and see if he recognizes anyone in the photos as a threat. He wishes you would take this a little more seriously, but considering you haven't had an additional near two years worth of experience with the town.

God. He just hopes you don't start fights or anything stupid.]

Yeah. Alright. See you soon.

[And a few hours later there'll be distortion in the air over the lawn of 625 Topper as Pokey and his mech materialize there, Pokey carrying a folder containing his report under an arm.

He stops at the door for a moment before, finally, knocking.]

[formerabyssinian]

[The action is easily dodged, which makes him frown more so than he usually does.]

You don't want to do this. [Beating up kids is not his style.]

[hatesboys]

[c-cool...] O-Oh, thanks, Jade. You're probably cool, too.

Yeah, I've been gone at least a year and a half, apparently. I've missed a lot, but I'm gonna catch up and get back to work right away!

[phone]

[battymadam]

Oh my, was that you screaming this morning?

[hatesboys]

Don't tell me what I wanna do! [If only she'd brought out something to fight with, stupid her... But, she can still do hand to hand, if need be. This adult doesn't look that tough.]

[echidna]

Probably! It would depend on who you ask.

Hmmm, maybe I can help... people killed each other a lot, that happened more than once, I set up a lemonade stand, oh, and the girl scouts are really fun! You should join them! [ Wow Jade this report is very helpful. ] I was a vampire once... then I went home and got some dog ears and space powers! And I turned 14 and the world ended once.

[ A little bit out of breath by the end there. ]

[hatesboys]

[Well, it's a woman... But an old woman, from the sound of it. Best to be on her guard.]

It wasn't that loud...

[hatesboys]

[TEENAGE-- oh wait, she learned last time that maybe not all teenagers are so evil. And fourteen is pretty close, anyway.]

That's... Um. Maybe I'll just wait for Pokey's report.

[formerabyssinian]

[Aya sighs. Even Aya-chan wasn't this bratty when she was younger.]

Suit yourself, then, but don't say I didn't warn you.

[battymadam]

Really? I thought it was a sonic boom at first! Hehe, must be my hearing aid.

[hatesboys]

Says me.

[hatesboys]

[HUFF] Don't ya try actin' all mysterious about it! You're just some stupid adult!

[echidna]

[ Pokey? Wait- connection made! ]

Oh, you're Pokey's- [ and she kind of abruptly cuts off there, remembering Valentine's day. ] friend.

I'm his friend too.

[struckbylightning]

Yeah? And just who are you anyway, kiddo?

[hatesboys]

[She answers the door, no longer in her pajamas but in the least hideous green dress she could find.]

About time ya showed up. [looking over his shoulder] What's that?

[hatesboys]

Well, it's weird, wakin' up in a new room all of a sudden! I was right to scream!

[hatesboys]

We're comrades. [because clearly that is what the pause was about right]

[ceasetoexist]

What, Josephine?

[He looks back over his shoulder, making sure they're looking at the same thing. Really, that was probably unnecessary. There was very little else she could be talking about.]

She's my Time Distorter. Time traveling device along with land travel and teleportation, and mobile weapon platform.

[hatesboys]

[she looks him up and down, as if assessing the danger]

Numbuh 86--

[and then, suddenly, the drone wife walks by]

Snow, Fanny! Time for breakfast!

... [just. frozen.]

[hatesboys]

Oh, right. I remember her. [She shrugs it off.] It's a bit fuzzy, ya know. The report?

[struckbylightning]

...Fanny, huh?

[hatesboys]

It's Frances don't ya ever call me that again!

[struckbylightning]

Okay, okay! Got it.

I'm Snow. Nice to meetcha, Frances.

[ceasetoexist]

Do you feel alright?

[It's hard, and he tries to clamp up, but after hearing it's fuzzy sets off an instinctive reaction in him. And he can't hide the genuine concern in his voice once it makes its way out.

So he shuts his mouth and holds the folder out to her. It's a fairly detailed report, and he's managed to list a document of all the important events to have occurred from October of two years ago to present and here I intended to have a typed out report to post a link to but I'll have to wait til tomorrow to finish it otherwise assume he has all the information present in the "story so far" section]

[battymadam]

Nothing wrong with that! Sometimes I scream just to keep folks on their toes!
