Intro

[Action A | 5719 Cunningham Lane]

No. No, no, no, no, no. Not again. Please God, not again.

She's had this dream before. Waking up in the hell hole of a place that was Mayfield again, trapped in the Pleasantville way of life, unable to snap herself out of the nightmare.

Please, God, let her be dreaming.

Except that the man she woke up next to isn't Hal, and the house she rushes out of isn't the one she lived in before, and the street she's standing in the middle of isn't Kramden Road.

Not again. No, no, no, not again.

[Action B | Kramden Road]

She's still barefoot in her ridiculous nightgown, not having bothered to change before she tore her way towards her old street. Maybe her old friends are still there. Maybe Hal...

But if she's switched around, maybe everybody else is, too. Which is why she's just going around pounding her fists on every door on the street like a crazy person in hopes that a familiar face answers.

[Action C | Around Town]

By the end of the day, she's a mess. Still barefoot, still nightgown-clad. Wandering her way around the Mayfield streets hoping for someone to make sense of why she's back.

It wasn't fair. She'd escaped this place. Spent a full year pretending it was just a bad dream. And now here she was again, wondering if that year of freedom had even been real.

She finds a bench, curls her knees to her chest, and buries her face in her arms.

Fucking Mayfield.

Well.. Maybe when someone like YOU is wearing one...

Wait, wait. You know me? I'm mildly drunk so excuse my stupidity. I ASSURE you it's only temporary.

[ Shakes her hand. ]

Nice to meet you. There's no Hal on this street anymore.

[ A quick check around here and he doesn't hear that name. ]

What was it like, when you were here? I can't really imagine it being too different...
thecoolexec: (laugh)

[personal profile] thecoolexec 2012-06-18 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
What... a wonderful surprise! Man, you have NO idea how rough it was to go from total celebrity to total obscurity, like, overnight. My ego is so very fragile... oh, you forgot "genius", though. I'm that, too.

Have I... had the pleasure? I think you have me at a disadvantage, miss...?
ooeeooahah: (stoic)

[personal profile] ooeeooahah 2012-06-18 04:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I can.

[ Her voice is quiet, and she does not look at Lois, seeming to watch the timer on the counter. ]

I'm still young, by their standards, not even out of my first century, so I'm not able to do everything they can, but the emotional talents are one of the first to develop. The differences between me and the one that was here that weekend are ethical.
ooeeooahah: (worried)

[ Luckily, she's not asking a lady, she's asking a doctor. ]

Thirty-two. Daddy's around 950 or 960, depending on the calendars. He's not even considered middle-aged, yet. Mama's in her mid-sixties...

[ Ilsa gets a small frown. ] Even accounting for Mama's family being long-lived, she doesn't look her age, either.

Nice to meet you, Lois. Your parents were big Superman fans, huh? If I had a kid I'd name him Marty McFly... Stark, obviously.
returntospring: (But only on my own)

[personal profile] returntospring 2012-06-19 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, yes... recently, they tried to manipulate our memories. I'm not sure why they did that, but... it's certainly the strangest thing I've experienced here.
party_hard: (Grin)

[personal profile] party_hard 2012-06-19 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
You're really quite welcome!

And be sure to come back anytime--we can have a party!
surf_n_makai: (Kono)

[personal profile] surf_n_makai 2012-06-19 02:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's basically. I mean, I'm not ranked detective yet, but we kind of all work as a team doing detective work.

Back in Kansas, what do you do?
snacklist: ([silly] oh)

[personal profile] snacklist 2012-06-19 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Cue some nervous chuckling.]

M-Maybe a bit, but it's worth the effort. It's really fun, and something I can do all the time.

[Or has to do all the time, whatever.]

I'll let you know if I hear anything.

[ He nods. ]
thecoolexec: (I'm gonna need you to stop talking now.)

[personal profile] thecoolexec 2012-06-23 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
You... N-named...

Ah... How, exactly, do you mean?
swordwaitress: (them fingers)

[personal profile] swordwaitress 2012-06-23 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
If you ever feels like one, give me a call. [ She'd offer one right now, but it's not like she's carrying any around. ]
