event: break-in

[Anyone who drops by the dairy between the hours of three PM and five PM on Tuesday will find that the door's been unlocked. Even though the door's shut, there's a strange humming sound coming from inside the building.

Careful if you want to try to peek inside, though. You may not like what you find.]

[tsunmuse]

Well that's good.

Nice to meet you Mindy.

[Going to stare at the doors across the way.]

Sure is quiet coming from in there.

[ghostlygames]

........

Something bad'll happen. And real soon too. Just like the last time.

[tsunmuse]

I don't doubt that. This has potential disaster written all over it.

[ghostlygames]

Everything always does!

[She's been getting frustrated by it...]

Most of the time, Mayfield is such a nice place. So why do bad things keep happening?

[tsunmuse]

I couldn't say. I've only been here for a month but even then I know this place is bad news.

[ghostlygames]

I've been here a real long time. And sometimes it's really nice. If the bad things would stop happening, then we could all live here and everyone would be happy!

[tsunmuse]

I'll be glad to enjoy the nice stuff when things don't happen then.

[Living here... yeah, no. She wanted to get back home.]

I just miss my parents.

[ghostlygames]

I guess a lot of people miss their homes....

[She accepted long ago that she wouldn't be going back. By now she isn't really sure that she wants to.]

[tsunmuse]

Well yeah... I miss Grandpa a lot. He would pick me up from school every day.

[ghostlygames]

Was he real nice?

[tsunmuse]

Yes he is. Grandpa is important to me. He raised me since I don't live with my parents right now.

[ghostlygames]

What happened to your mommy and daddy?

[tsunmuse]

...

[At this, Ako automatically folded inwards.] Trouble at home...

[When her mom was trying to rule a kingdom and her dad was trying to spread a song of sorrow across the world as the villain... yeah, trouble at home.]

[ghostlygames]

Oh....

[She doesn't really know what to say to that. Her parents had never been around enough to give her any trouble.]

[tsunmuse]

It's fine... I just don't talk about it much.

[ghostlygames]

I don't really think about stuff from before Mayfield a whole lot. Not anymore.

[tsunmuse]

... how long did that take?

[ghostlygames]

I guess about a year....

[tsunmuse]

... I see.

[Darnit, Ako did not want to be here a year.]

[ghostlygames]

I think everyone gets used to this place after a while.

[tsunmuse]

[She repressed a grunt of aggravation.]

I see. I guess there's nothing for it.

[ghostlygames]

Maybe someday somebody'll figure out a way to go home. If that's what you really want, you shouldn't give up.
