5th Mental Baggage: Return to Mayfield

[tsunkinesis]

 [Action: 5721 Cunningham Lane]

[Lili woke up a little dazed but realized she's not in that plane headed for Psychonauts HQ. This place looks familiar and not in a good way. She looks out her bedroom window and the color drains from her face.]

Not this again...

[Just to be safe, she focuses her mind on the nearby alarm clock. It glows blue before floating via telekinesis. Well, at least she got some of her powers back. She drops the clock on the bed and makes her way downstairs.]

Hello? Anyone here?

[She even goes outside to the yard and looks around.]

This isn't Stevens Road...then where am I?

[Phone]

Hey, has anyone seen Raz or Natalie? This is Lili. Somehow, I'm back and in a totally different house now. I guess whoever brought us here got bored and dragged me back here.

[Raz was drinking something when Lili's call goes out, for maximum comedic effect. There's a SPORFLE followed by a bunch of clunking sounds as he frantically fumbles with the receiver before respondng.]

Lili!!!

[Okay that came out a little too excited but he can't help it. He clears his throat and tries to sound a little more calm.]

You're back! I think they shuffle people into different houses when they leave and come back. Maybe they put someone in your spot at your old house?

[Lili tries to stop herself from laughing but it doesn't work.]

Raz! You're still here!

[She nods and ponders what Raz mentioned.]

So maybe Natalie's back there...Hopefully she heard me.

[phone]

[ra_ra_razputin]

Y-yeah, still here. [Oh gosh it's so nice to hear her voice again.] Hey, what house are you in now?

[phone]

[tsunkinesis]

I'm on 5721 Cunningham Lane. It's so weird being on a completely different street like this.

[phone]

[ra_ra_razputin]

...Mind if I come over?

[phone]

[tsunkinesis]

N-no, not at all. Maybe you can bring back to speed with what's been going on here.

[aaaand action!]

[ra_ra_razputin]

[Five minutes later there's a knock on the door. Yup, he ran all the way here.]

[Groot, oddly enough, is outside when Lili runs out. Tending to the garden he's started awhile ago. He might enjoy the conversation with it, but that doesn't mean he should just outright ignore helping that little plot grow well, right?]

...This is Cunningham Lane. This is new though, I'm use to new people in this house having no clue what is going on. You sound like you've been to Mayfield before, correct?

Action: 5721 Cunningham Lane

[tsunkinesis]

[Lili wasn't expecting to be someone outside but at least it's nice to know she's not in fully drones house.]

Yeah, that's right. I was here for a bit, went back home and now back here again. I used to live on Stevens street so where am I?

[grumpiest_tree]

[Groot stands up and dusts some of the loose dirt off his knees.]

Cunningham Lane, 5721 to be exact. I'm afraid I'm not familiar enough with the street names to really give you directions to Stevens.

Planning to see if others you knew are still around?

[tsunkinesis]

Don't worry. I'll find it eventually. I'm Lili, by the way.

[Having psychic powers helps with that too.]

Yeah. I started calling around so I've managed to talk to them.

[grumpiest_tree]

Ah, well it probably is nice to have some familiar faces still around here for you, I guess.

My name is Groot. I'm supposedly the 'father' of this house, but I don't put much stock in that. If you do need anything though, don't hesitate to ask.

[tsunkinesis]

Nice to meet you and thanks. I don't think I'll be bothering you much so don't worry about that.

[It's now she gets a better look at the garden.]

Did you do all of this?
