A. Outside 1449 Mitchell Road: [An unhealthy amount of scraping and rummaging is being screeched out from the garage of 1449 Mitchell. Rita is inside furiously digging through pile of junk after pile of junk, digging through scraps and trash for... something, apparently. Whatever it is, it has her pretty fired up. She gets so frustrated with the fruitlessness of her search that she ends up kicking a metal bucket out into the street, and with a weary sigh treks out of the garage to retrieve it.

Let's face it, who doesn't enjoy bothering frustrated teenage girls.]

B. Phone: [Here's Rita on the phone, she doesn't sound any more pleased than when she may or may not have been angrily kicking buckets into the streets.]

Hey, I need a favor from one of you idiot boys.

[Rin thinks she may have missed something vital in this phone conversation.]

Wait, what are you so pissed about? ♪

[geniusmage]

This stupid town. What do you think?

[roadroller]

Well I guess I think most people don't have enough energy to stay pissed about that in general, so maybe there is something specific!

[geniusmage]

It's that dumb library. I can't believe they're forcing me to find a boy to get books for me...

[roadroller]

Oh, that... ♪

[Although, Rin always thought the selection for boys would be equally useless.]

What, do you need a book about lawnmowing? ♪

[geniusmage]

[Just who the hell is this chick...?]

No, idiot. I need some chemistry books.

[Corran is on his daily jog when WHOOP

gotta leap over that bucket.]

Having a problem?

[geniusmage]

[She's snatches the bucket as if he'd just stole it.]

No.

[donttellmetheodds]

Yeah, that was a very convincing no.

[geniusmage]

It's not like it's any of your business, anyway!

[donttellmetheodds]

When I get projectiles thrown in my directions I tend to make it my business. Why don't you tell me what this is all about.

<sub>[Sophie was in the process of making herself a little street map when the bucket catches her attention, and she can't help but watch it, curiously, before looking over to the garage it came from.

If Rita hadn't come out after the buckey, Sophie would have attributed the sounds coming from the garage to Pascal being in Mayfield too but oh well...]</sub>

omgosh sophie \o/

[geniusmage]

[Rita had come after it, but not without noticing Sophie's stare.]

...What're you looking at?

Can we assume Gumshoe knows your a housemate already? >.>

[derp_detective]

[Hearing the noise from the garage, Gumshoe pokes his head in to see what's going on. Finding Rita moving in things in the garage, he comes to one conclusion.]

Oh hey! You're cleaning out the garage! Thanks a bunch, I thought it was getting kinda messy in there.

Sure thing!

[geniusmage]

[Rita barks back at him, obviously more frustrated than usual.]

I'm not doing your housework!

[derp_detective]

Wait, so cleaning out the garage is my chore? I thought it was groceries this week...

But if you're not cleaning, what are doing?

[geniusmage]

[Rita rolls her eyes. How the drones in this town could be convinced she's his daughter is way beyond her.]

There's something important in here, and I need to find it.

[derp_detective]

Oh! Well, what are you looking for then, I'll help you out.

[Gumshoe starts towards one of the shelves to start looking once he knows what to search for.]

[heavenfang]

Calling me an idiot doesn't exactly endear me to the idea of doing you favors.

[geniusmage]

Like I'm gonna publicly beg for the help of this place's superior gender. [Yeah somebody is pissed off at these 50s gender role things.]

[heavenfang]

I don't recall mentioning being part of a superior anything.

[geniusmage]

Maybe not you, but those are the rules.

[heavenfang]

How unfortunate that I have this bad habit of ignoring rules.

[connedviakeyboard]

Wow. How could anyone say no after being asked so nicely.

[geniusmage]

Wow, how could anyone come up with such a clever and original response.
