[Action - 305 Miller Street]

[Something is very...off when she wakes up. It has to do with the fact that she's in a soft bed, and with the fact that the Leapfrog's rattle even allowed her to sleep in the first place- or the fact that for the first time in a long time, she's feeling slightly chilly.

Family members might catch the tall blonde (in place of the smaller drone girl) peering out the doorway of her room, but not before she makes a quick phone call-- ]


[Phone]

Nico, Chase, Victor, Molly, Klara-- Julie?

Please be there.

[Karolina's in the fruit section, scowling at the tiny selection, ocasionally picking up an object to examine. She frowns at it. This stuff couldn't be all-organic.]

Seriously? [Find out what's wrong?]

[Action - Mayfield - Night]

[It's nighttime. And Karolina Dean is a normal girl, sitting huddled up on a bench on the side of the road, shivering slightly. She's human. For the first time ever, she's 100% completely human. Normal.

...Almost normal. Close enough to normal. This place has tricked her into thinking, just for a moment, that it can all be okay. Mayfield has swept her off her feet, taken her away from her friends, and given her a gift she thought she'd never have. She's just another girl.

She lets out another breath, a puff of air in the chilly night.]

I could get used to this.

[Much like Karolina Xavin had woken up in a bed. Soft, warm, nothing like the rooms on the Majesdanian ship. She wakes up with confusion, and then moves into alertness, sliding easily out of bed to inspect her new surroundings with caution.

It's then she notices the biggest change. Her own body, not Karolina's shape, her hands, her skin, her hair. The body she created herself, for her beloved, but the body she made. Panic flares in her- What if this is all a Majesdanian trick, no they can't know they have her and not Karolina, Karolina must be safe - and it only grows when she finds her body not responding to her brain's commands to change, to shift.

For once, her body is stuck, and the very idea is terrifying.

Panic swells even as Xavin tries to crush it, leaving the room of this knew place to hurry down the stairs. If this is a trick she has to get out, find a way to Earth, to Karolina and protect her. In her haste the phone is knocked over and then Karolina speaks and Xavin starts. Her beloved was here, or was calling. Body still she pauses, before slowly picking up the telephone, carefully holding it to her ear]

...Karolina?

[Cade was up early this morning. Had trouble sleeping because of a fight with Jenny. He really does wish they would get along better...

He is walking down the hallway with just a pair of cotton pants on, toothbrush and cup of water in his hand as he makes his way to the bathroom. That's when he sees the unfamiliar girl peering out the door.]

"Uh, hey there? Who are you?"

[spitefulvitae]

You shouldn't.

[The voice comes from behind and a little to the right, down the road from the bench where she's sitting.]

...though maybe I should ask what it is that you could get used to?

[There's a woman in a long skirt and sweater, with a scarf wrapped closely around her neck. The scent of rose perfume can be picked up from even that distance... and she looks about half-dead.]

[wavewalker]

I wouldn't recommend it.

[ Ryoma, who's been out training tennis against a wall again and is on his way home, stops in front of her where she sits. ]

Of what? Sleeping outside?

[voiceofauthority]

[A woman who looks like she could almost actually be her mother (but looking very well preserved for her age) is making her way up the stairs when she spots her.]

And you are?

[Groot is of course ever the helpful store employ.]

Yes, I am quite sure that this food is quite serious at being what it is suppose to be. I am still unsure how it finds it way here though, I have yet to see a truck bring in the stock. It just appears in the back rooms and storage area overnight.
