[Action: Knocking on your door]

[Bail is at your door carrying a toolbox and looking at a piece of paper]

Oh, hello. I hope your sink isn't actually giving you trouble. I was sent here to repair it, but I'm afraid that's far outside my skillset.

[Action: John Doe Park]

[Alderaanian culture involves a strong appreciation for nature, so Bail finds himself wandering through the park, examining the trees and flowers and murmuring to himself.]

It's... unsettling.

Comments

[ooeeooahah]

[ Have a harried, but warm smile from the lady of the house. ]

I do, but the clerks at the hardware store will not sell me a pipe snake. I can take care of it if you'll let me borrow your tools?

[bailedontheempire]

Yes, that's quite alright. I'm not sure how exactly I wound up in this profession.

[ooeeooahah]

Come on in - the town seems to not know what to do with a lot of us.

The door of 503 Ricardo

[musicalcasanova]

[A rather damp, harried-looking man answers the door.]

Are you KIDDING me? It's not a sink anymore--it is a water volcano. You hear me? WATER. VOLCANO.

[And now Otoya is reaching out like he plans on grabbing Bail's arm and dragging him inside, because he is NOT dealing with this on his own anymore.]

Re: The door of 503 Ricardo

[bailedontheempire]

Oh, well, I'm not...

Re: The door of 503 Ricardo

[musicalcasanova]

[Otoya clearly doesn't look like he is willing to let Bail leave.]

Please! Just come look at it! You've got a toolbox--that makes you more qualified than I am right there!

John Doe Park

[alt_for_norge]

[He's spending a lot of his time here, doing much the same as the man who he catches a few words from as he passes by]

... Agreed.

Re: John Doe Park

[bailedontheempire]

Nothing here seems natural.

[alt_for_norge]

No. There is something wrong in the air.

[werejew]

There's a raccoon stuck in the pipes.

[bailedontheempire]

[Bail glances down at the toolbox]

Perhaps it can be lured out...

[werejew]

No, fuck that diplomacy shit, that little fuck stole my wallet.

[she glances down at the toolbox as well-- and then moves to take it] I can do it, but you have to be my back-up, he's a wily little fucker.

[The Park]

[thug_disease]

[Suddenly, as Bail wanders and gazes at the unnatural park, a little blond girl falls from the cover of the trees, hanging by what looks to be very thickly-wound spider webbing!

Though...after her surprise drop she's just left...hanging upside down. Still, she wants to know stuff!]

What's unsettling?

Re: [The Park]

[bailedontheempire]

[Well that's a species he hasn't seen before]

I don't know if it's this planet or just this town.

[thug_disease]

You make it sound like you've gone to other planets!

That's silly.

[She really just doesn't seem to mind hanging upside down. Any expression with her arms results in her lazily swinging back and forth.]

A

[nodifferentfate]

I never realized maintenace was a part of your profession, Bail.

[Offers a small smile.]

Re: A

[bailedontheempire]

[A slight laugh]

It was news to me as well.

[adventurerextraordinaire]

[Cade also happens to be wandering the park today, and overhears Bail's comment. He looks around to try and figure who the man is talking to, then sidesteps over and leans in, still looking about as he speaks.]

"...Who are you talking to?"

[bailedontheempire]

Just... thinking aloud.

[kinship]

[Well, this is familiar. This is how he had met Clark so many moons ago, when he had been forced to make the rounds as a plumber too. So it's with a pleasantly surprised smile that this little boy opens the door, looking up at Bail.]

It's not broken, but you're still welcome to come in for some tea, if you like?

[bailedontheempire]

That sounds preferable to trying to work out plumbing.

Action - John Doe Park

[jumpsuited_rat]

[Chell is sitting in the park, having a small picnic by herself. She usually eats lunch here, though the location within the park changes sometimes.

Today she's by the pond, sitting with her back against a tree while she eats a sandwich.

When Bail speaks to himself, she looks up and glances around until she finds him.]

Re: Action - John Doe Park

[bailedontheempire]

[Bail had been mostly thinking out loud, but then he notices someone nearby.]

Oh, hello.

John Doe Park

[of_alderaan]

[She sees him there so she makes a detour into the park.]

What are you looking at?

Re: John Doe Park

[bailedontheempire]

[He smiles at her. While still strange, it's always good to see her]

The trees. Do they seem quite right to you?
