Dec 12, 2011 19:46

Action: 2238 Stephens Road and around(There's a package with Figaro's name on it on the doorstep. Confused enough by the sudden revival of the town (he's pretty much convinced that it's sorcery), he opens the parcel. Housemates and nearby neighbors will hear his high C of joy and triumph ring out throughout the house as he dances around his garden ( Read more... )

[By the way, his daughter turned into an elf sometime around the same time. She looks out the front door to stare at him when he bursts into song. She's not going to complain since he's outside but... so noticeable, dad, geez.]

...is that a good song? [It sure sounds happier than when he showed up.]

(Unfortunately Naal, your dad is a bit of a attention-seeker.)

I'm not singing, but I very well might just bu-

(After he finally notices her new appearance, he just freezes. After a five seconds of staring, he suddenly runs towards her, concerned.)

Maria, what happened to you!!?? Is this some skin disease? Come come, I must go prepare the leeches, and we'll get you fixed up.

[They are just opposites that way.]

No... [She takes a step back.] I am the same as Sanguinius. This is my normal appearance.

(Opposites can go well together, right? RIGHT?)

I am afraid I do not know what or who is...Sanguinius. But are you sure you are well? I can always arrange something for you.

[Cain was just running in and out to buy some milk, when he spotted the older man looking a bit lost and annoyed.]

Excuse me, sir? Are you alright?

Hmm?

Yes, I am fine. The only thing that is not fine is that there is no pig lard sold here. I do not understand; this whole town is supposed to be the future, but they do not stock basic groceries! What is the world coming to?

...Pig lard?!

I can't say I've ever heard of anyone using that for cooking, but they might have some ordinary lard.

Yes, pig lard.

(He sounds rather cross and throws his arm out dramatically.)

You can't just use ANY lard! They're not called mantecados for no reason! It is the pig lard that gives it its flavor! To pick anything else would be an insult to any Spaniard, and to the recipe itself!

(He's going to ramble and rant in a weird misture of Italian and Spanish now. Don't worry, he's not mad at you, just mad at the town.)

[The paperboy is passing by to hear someone suddenly singing. In Italian.

Crowe speaks fluent Italian as well as English, so this is relevant to his interests. He walks over to see a guy clutching scissors.

What.

have a gawking paperboy, Figaro.]

(Figaro's on a roll now. He's just singing and dancing along. Eventually, he'll notice Crowe though, and greet him with a very cheerful:)

Buon Giorno! It's a wonderful day, isn't it?

[Crowe can't help but smile at this. The guy was too happy. And, well, he could sure sing.]

Ah, buon giorno, sir. I suppose it is. Not often you hear someone so happy in this town, I have to admit.

Well, I am happy with good reason! I think the town has just sent me my first...ah, what was the word...that's right! A "regain". And it happened to be my barber kit from home!

(He displays the items proudly. There's a pair of scissors, a comb, a razor, a brush, a mirror, and some other items in there that any barber would have back in the 18th century.)

[Passing by and what the heck is going on here. Why is there a man dancing with scissors in a garden? his voice is pretty nice though]

Uh, yeah, good for you.

Ah, but signore!

(Figaro swoops over and latches an arm around him.)

It is not only good for me, no! It is good for the entire town! For I, Figaro, can now resume my duties as the factotum of...well, not Seville, seeing as I've been abducted here...

(Figaro's face falls for a moment, but he is nothing but positive, so in less than two seconds his face lights up here.)

Si! I get it now! I can be...the Barber of MAYFIELD instead!!
