12th Hat
[Action; outside 311 Miller Street]
[Regain time for Dad! He's had pretty good luck with these in the past, so he eagerly opens the package, pulling out a PDA and a very official-looking piece of paper. Putting the PDA in his pocket without even sparing it so much as a passing glance, he just stands there on the front lawn staring down at the paper. On his face is a strange expression somewhere between wistful remembrance, bemusement, and vague shame.
He isn't paying much attention to anything else while he's looking at whatever's on the paper, but anyone who wants to look over his shoulder will see that he's holding a restraining order from a district judge barring him from coming within five hundred feet of anyone affiliated in any way with a Cirque du Soleil performance.]
[Text over the Nadesico's wireless network]
[After he's gotten over the shock of the restraining order, Dad has apparently decided to give the old PDA a whirl. To his surprise, Mayfield appears to have a functional wireless network set up, so anyone with a computer, cell phone, or other electronic device set up on the network may see someone with the handle pipefan413 performing a number of incredibly inane updates about ties, pipes, and hats throughout the rest of the day. All of the updates are made under the label 'Serious Business.']

pipefan413: Current status of tie - pressed and clean. Pipe running low on tobacco, but backup supply is plentiful. Hat showing signs of wear. May require starching.
pipefan413: Brief baking mishap has resulted in wet flour on tie. Applying dish detergent and cold water. Will update with results.
pipefan413: Flour successfully removed from tie, which has been hung up to dry. Procuring replacement tie from bedroom.
pipefan413: Pipe refilled with tobacco.
[It goes on like this for entirely longer than it should.]
