(Backdate to late morning, Thursday)

A 
[ action -- 305 Miller Street ] 
[The morning starts peacefully enough at 305 Miller Street. Birds chirp cheerfully on the branches of the Carolina Ash in the front yard, the sun shines gently in through the bedroom window, and, most importantly, Cade and Jenny have not yet woken up.

Cade is the first to wake up. Groggy, and recovering from a night of heavy drinking, Cade's usual obliviousness is amplified ten-fold, so he does not immediately recognize that anything is wrong. He first notices his strange, flannel pajamas, but shrugs it off as he sits up in bed; it isn't the first time that he's woken up wearing unfamiliar clothes. He then notices the attractive blonde stranger sleeping next to him - again, not a first. However, the fuzzy pink nightgown she's wearing does cause Cade to take a double-take, as the realization of the strangeness starts to work its way through the thickness that surrounds Cade's head. In all his travels, he's never seen clothes like these. As he blinks his bleary eyes a few more times and his vision clears, he realizes he doesn't know where he is at all. While this too is not unusual, the foreign furniture and decorations does make Cade wonder if he somehow wound up in another country...

The woman stirs, wakes, and there is much angry confusion.

As the confrontation unfolds, it all begins to make "sense" to Cade.  He's in a strange land. His equipment is missing. Hispowers are missing. He's been physically (and possibly mentally) altered, and is stuck in a room with an attractive woman who inexplicably seems to be unimpressed by all his Cade-ness. AND the room is filled with images of himself and this woman with children, made by some magical process he is not familiar with. Clearly, he is dealing with... INTERPLANAR DEMON CULTISTS... who are performing some sort of... twisted forced mating ritual! That steals magic (somehow). They must be stopped! 

Any who happen to be near 305 Miller street at 10:30 am that day are treated to the display of Cade jumping out of second story window, using a tree branch to slow his fall, before running off down the middle of the street, laughing a hammy laugh and shouting.]

" Fear not! I shall venture out and conquer these evil... evildoers!  HA haha HA!" 


B
[ Noon-ish -- Around Town ]
[Cade wanders into the middle of town, looking for the source of this evil. At first, you see him confront several drones, whose eternally eerily cheery attitudes and plastic expression alert even the very oblivious Cade that something is very wrong.]

" These poor people! Clearly their minds have been dominated! I was likely only able to resist thanks to my superior intellect!"
  
[Cade continues to dash here and there in town, looking for someone "suspicious-looking" he can jump to conclusions over. (Or anyone who looks like they can be helpful, really.)] 

C
[ Afternoon -- Flower Shop ]
[Cade has begun to realize that most of the residents are innocent people who are victims of a sinister plot. As a paladin of Idamra, it is his sacred duty to help them! But of course, he must first make a proper introduction to these people. With no sword, no hat, no cape, Cade looks for something he can use as a prop... 
When he sees the flower shop, he takes it as divine providence. He doesn't have any gold on him, all these pants have in their pockets is a leather-envelope-thing filled with green pieces of paper. Surely, they won't miss one red rose.
Cade walks by the outside display and slyly grabs a long-stemmed rose from a bucket. "Smooth," he thinks to himself. "Who could have possibly noticed?"]

D
[ Early Evening-- Olney's Tavern ]  
[Cade does not look good. He has a black eye and other visible injuries. Clearly, his day has not gone as planned. He limps into Olney's Tavern, and looks for a place at the bar.]
"Rum? Whiskey? Lantern-Oil? Please gods, tell me this town at least has something decent for me to drink!"
