01 | A return

[bbsatbyrobots]

[Waking up in Mayfield was no big deal. It was something she'd grown used to in her time there. But...this morning was different. She'd woken up in a different room, next to a different person, in a different house (At least that's what the mail said).

So, with a relatively important question, she turns to the phones. The others would know!]

Ah...Why

[numanstan]

[numanstan]

LoL <3

[bbsatbyrobots]

Vince? Um...do you happen to know why I'm in a different house?

Supposed to be hiatus'd but shhh...also 1/???

[bluecapboy]

[Some scraping as Luke desperately fumbles with the telephone.]

2/???

[bluecapboy]

[She's back, she's back, he didn't lose her-]

3/???

[bluecapboy]

Fl-

[Calm down, Luke. Remember to be a gentleman and all that and he's not supposed to be so happy that she's here again but-]

Done!

[bluecapboy]

[Luke's voice shakes a little as he speaks, but he's trying to keep the sudden rush of emotions under control.]

F-Flora! You're back! You're really-!

U-um, where are you?

1/?

[weaponsparked]

[At first he thinks he's just hallucinating. The painkillers are strong stuff. So he doesn't respond...]

2/?

[weaponsparked]

[But. Wait. He hasn't taken any today.]

3/?

[weaponsparked]

[So that would mean...]

4/?

[perceivance]

You're... not the drone wife.

[ He opens his mouth to ask something like, 'How did you get in my bed without my noticing? And where did the drone go?' before he decides to stop questioning how these things happen. Makes him feel less insane. ] Uh... you're new to Mayfield, I take it.

[bbsatbyrobots]

Well, I'm not new to Mayfield, but...[She stops talking, and kind of realizes two things. 1) this is not Mr. Luke 2) He is not a drone.]

I-I'm sorry, I--[Bright red, she tries to scramble from the bed. It didn't make sense, had she been sleepwalking?]--I didn't mean to intrude. This isn't the house I was in the other day, you see.

[perceivance]

You're not? Then why did you wake up here, I wonder... I thought the drones were usually replaced by new people? [ ... ] Where were you living before?

[ Her scrambling out of the bed prompts him to do the same, feeling kind of ridiculous with his pyjamas on. ] It's no problem, no need to apologize.

[bbsatbyrobots]

They usually are...Oh, I was at 5721 Cunningham Lane.

[Once she manages to get out of the bed--the sheets kept getting in the way--She hurries to the drawers to find something that she can change into.] I'm not sure why they would suddenly give me a new house...It doesn't make all that much sense.

[seniorfilia]

Je ne sais pas.

[bbsatbyrobots]

E-Excuse me?

[seniorfilia]

I don't know why you're in another house, mademoiselle. Maybe you sleepwalk?

[bbsatbyrobots]

Yes, but my picture is here as well. It's as if the city moved me...
