mayfield_rpg | 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.]

I heard the town doesn't let us have things from home unless we go to the post office or go play in one of their events. How'd you manage to get Puffy back?

[Curious Henry is curious.

Henry however does frown when she asks about his house.]

One of them was nice...his name was Ian apparently he was my 'family's' pet. But when I went to say hi to him a couple of days ago he was acting like that lady in my house, like a drone.

He said that there was a man named Date who was the 'father' in that house but I haven't seen him.

[So Henry's pretty much in a house filled with drones...yay.]

Hmm, lemme think... was it after the zombies invaded the town?

...Oh my gosh! It was after that awful week when everything went crazy! I ended up waking up in a weird pod thing in the park and went home to find that a doppelganger had taken my place! And then after that, this weird blob thing that tasted like gelatin covered the town! And after THAT, monsters roamed around and we had to fight them off!

Oh wow, you're stuck all by yourself basically, aren't you? Hey, if you want, you can come over to my house after school! The people in my house are all real nice... I do most of the cooking, so I have to make dinner, but you'd be more than welcome to join us!

....Zombies? Blob monsters? Dopplegangers?

[Staaaaaaaaaaare.]

Even Storybrooke isn't that crazy and it has a huge curse on it!

[Now he's really wishing Emma was here.]

Yeah but I'm used to it. [No friends at home Henry, except for a bunch of adults...sort of. He perks up a bit though at hearing the invitation. ]

Yeah sure! That'd be great! [Yay no more bland meatloafs for him tonight!]

Huh?? Your hometown is cursed? What kind of curse?

Really? Great! I'll make a feast in your honor tonight! What's your favorite food?

It's a really bad curse. They were all from the Enchanted Forest and the Evil Queen wanted them all to suffer forever. So she took away the happy endings and now they don't know who they are.

[Just remembering that makes him frown slightly. Being in Mayfield isn't helping Storybrooke but he doesn't want to just leave everyone here to suffer too.

He does smile however.]

I'm fine with anything...just no apples. [Apples are baaaaaaaad. The queen poisoned apples.]

...[That. Sounds FASCINATING. And Sue's expression clearly says so.]

That's really interesting. I wouldn't mind hearing more about it, if you're alright with talking about it.

Alright, no apples... I'll make Aunt Lilly's stew tonight! It's REALLY good! Right, Puffy?

[In response, the critter starts chirping and flying around in circles. Aunt Lilly's recipes are exciting stuff!]

[Oh your interested? Well Henry is just going to be simply beaming because it's not another 'it's your imagination or your crazy' thing.]

I'm okay with talking about it. It's just usually when I do I get put into therapy or something.

[He however does grin a bit at Sue. Dinner with people who aren't drones. That will be nice.]

I can't wait to try it.
