Tale 003 - First day of Mayfield Elementary.

Page 1 - Phone

[Henry has risen from his bed and his drone mother has told him it was time for him to go to school. He sighs, rather annoyed as he would like to stay at home and write down more of what he remembers from his book. Oh well he guesses he'll do it at the school. However...he doesn't even know where it is. So picking up the phone he hits a bunch of random numbers. Last time a bunch of people had talked to him even though he was trying to call Emma so maybe this time someone could help?

Note - people living at 754 Partridge drive can interrupt Henry on his call.]

Hey can anyone tell me where the elementary school is?

 

Page 2 - Walk to school

[Thanks Yuuko you abandoned  Henry at the prom. But it's okay he met some interesting people so he forgives you. It had been fun but Henry was now brought up with the horrid fact that he needed to attend school by his drone mother. Guessing skipping that one day didn't help much did it? So getting up and getting ready Henry had left his Mayfield house to walk to school.

Will he meet anyone on the way?]

Page 3 - Mayfield Elementary Lunch time

[So today has been positively boring. Henry never had to endure any annoying teachers before. He much rather have Miss.Blanchard/Snow White as his teacher still than these creepy drones. So ignoring half of his classes (mainly for the purpose they were saying if you wanted to survive a nuclear explosion you needed to hide under your desk. Yeah that doesn't work.) it was time for lunch. So Henry is just going to be sitting far away from the drone kids off on a table of his own.]

Comments

[Henry looks up raising a brow at the boy. He doesn't sound like a drone. Drone kids usually go 'Gee wilikers' or something.]

Uh yeah sure.

[The child pulls up a chair and sits down.]

So...why are you here by yourself?

[Connla had only come here because it was only right for him, as an experienced class representative, to give any potentially new children a warm welcome.]

[theboywiththebook]

I don't know anybody who goes here and I didn't want to sit near the drones. They get annoying after awhile.

[on_bailes_strand]

Are you new then?

[The drones annoyed him too, but he had to tolerate them. After all, they too were part of the class.]

[theboywiththebook]

I only arrived a couple of days ago. Some people told me about Mayfield. Bad things happen, not to go to the post office, we don't have things from home here.

[on_bailes_strand]

...Someone told me that too.

[There is a moment of awkward silence.]

What's your name?

[theboywiththebook]

I'm Henry, what about you?

[on_bailes_strand]

[He falls silent. After a while, he starts to speak again.]

I...cannot tell you.

[theboywiththebook]

[Henry is a curious fish. So instead of just ending the conversation more he's just going to keep asking questions.]
Why not? Why can't you tell me?

[on_bailes_strand]

[He looks visibly uncomfortable.]

I...It's a geis.

[theboywiththebook]

[Henry's looking confused now, but he can see the kid getting uncomfortable. So he'll just ask this.]
Well What do you want me to call you?

[on_bailes_strand]

Cuan...would be fine.

[theboywiththebook]

All right Cuan, so um...how long have you been here for?

[on_bailes_strand]

A couple of weeks...I think. There's both day and night here, so I never know what time it is.

[theboywiththebook]

What do you mean by that?

[on_bailes_strand]

In Mother's lands, it was always day. In Auntie's lands, it was always night. I'm not used to time passing like this.

[theboywiththebook]

How come it's like that?

[on_bailes_strand]

I don't know. It was always that way. I guess it's became Mom is a goddess, though.

1/2

[theboywiththebook]

[Blank stare.]

2/2

[theboywiththebook]

Huh? Your mom became a goddess?

Re: 2/2

[on_bailes_strand]

No, she was always one.

Re: 2/2

[theboywiththebook]

[Henry doesn't know what to say to this. It's to amazing for words. He'll just stare okay?]

Re: 2/2

[on_bailes_strand]

[Connla blinks and leans close.]

Are you okay?

Re: 2/2

[theboywiththebook]

[Henry shakes his head as he finally snapes out of it.]
I'm fine it's just I've never heard of something like that before.

[Fairies yeah, magic yes, children of goddess's not really.]

Re: 2/2

[on_bailes_strand]

It was pretty common in my world.

[His father too, had been one of the demigods.]
