Locked to Household (748 Partridge Drive)

~ACTION AND PHONE~
[One thing that Barnaby hadn't experienced throughout the entirety of his adult life was waking up in a bed that was not his own, let alone next to a woman he didn't remember. Instinct told him to be quiet, so he did. He explored the room a little and found nothing but photos that made no

[action; household]

[prideinbattle]

[Finding herself in a strange place and unable to contact her comrades, Hiling is cautious as she explores the house. She found the pictures too and doesn't recognize them, but maybe she can find one of them and demand an explanation. Just to be safe, she grabs a knife from the kitchen, but keeps it hidden. She checks the living room, going no further than the doorway, and there he is, the man from the photos.]

Who are you?

[bunnyblitz]

[He looks up from his spot in the living room and places one of the framed photos back on the table next to the chair. His chair. It felt as if he had been sitting in this very spot for years. Bizarre. And this one, they were also in the photos.]

In this place, I believe I am your Father. My name is Barnaby. And you are?

[prideinbattle]

Father, huh? Never thought I'd get captured, but I was expecting something more like a holding cell. What is this, some sort of experiment?

[She isn't going to be feeling very cooperative until she understands more about her situation. Or maybe it's just willfulness. He doesn't seem all that threatening, but she isn't convinced he's not the enemy.]

[bunnyblitz]

[He sighs. This is going to be a pain, isn't it? He wasn't even entirely sure what was going on. How was he supposed to explain to this girl?]

To the extent of my knowledge, you haven't been captured. Nor have I been the one doing the capturing. I'd wager that this place isn't the place we both originally come from. [Although he has no idea how that is even possible.] I wasn't married. I didn't have children and I lived in the city. My partner...

[A dark look crosses his features and he turns so he isn't facing the girl anymore.]

We aren't where we came from. At least I don't think we are.

[park]

[rapier_ex]

-Quite normal indeed. Until someone walks up on a horse.-

[bunnyblitz]

[Which almost scares the ever living daylights out of him. He jumps a little, hand flying over his heart, before turning to look up at her.]

Good afternoon.

[rapier_ex]

You act like you've never seen a horse before, sir.

[bunnyblitz]

I'm just not used to them sneaking up on me.

[He stands and holds a hand out for the horse to sniff.]

May I?

[library]

[fabumax]

[the day was going well, considering shoma was finally starting to push the fact that he was stuck in a weird city to the back of his mind. in fact, turning into the library entirely on a whim spurred by a sudden bout of curiousity was, perhaps, one of the best choices the young male had made since arriving not too long ago. the librarian had deemed him a lost cause after he unsuccessfully led her through the entire establishment on the trail of a book he'd forgotten the title of, leaving sho to search around on his own.

it was going well, too, until he picked out a book from one of the higher shelves, misjudged every ounce of physics behind the situation and caused a mass of old, dusty books to fall over his head and the topple across the chairs behind him.]

Ack-- ow! H-Hey, no, don't do that! [clutching at his head, he deemed spouting orders at the things to be a good idea. from his hunched over position, looking a bit like a shocked and injured puppy, he glanced over at a seemingly older blond male sitting at the table he had

[bunnyblitz]

[He was practically jumping out of his chair the second he heard the books starting to fall. It could very well be dangerous for whomever was underneath them all but for some reason his body didn't react the way he wanted to. The sudden strength or speed he was usually able to conjure failed him here. What was going on?

He opted to start picking up the books, trying to help the guy on the floor. He smiled a little at him.]

I'd like to say that I didn't, but you look like you could use a little help.

[He sets the books down and holds out a hand to help the boy up.]

[fabumax]

[to make himself look a little less helpless, shoma grabbed two of the fallen books from the ground and clutched them to his chest with an arm. taking the offered hand with his free one, he returned the smile -- if a bit shakily -- and hopped to his feet.

talk about first impressions; he was sure he couldn't feel more embarrassed than he did then.]

Just my luck... Sorry, I hope I didn't interrupt you or anything. I should clean these up before the librarian notices and gives us both an earful.

[bunnyblitz]

No worries. You didn't interrupt anything important.

[The most he had gained was a strange understanding of just how vanilla this town was. How unnaturally optimistic and perfectionist this town was and how it was starting to make him a bit uncomfortable.]

Let me help you.

[He gathers up the books he set on the table and walks over to the shelf.]

My name is Barnaby. What's yours?

[park]

[perfectvoice]

[Unfortunately for Barnaby, Miku has decided to use the park for practicing her singing. Again. If he decides to follow that synthetic-sounding voice, he'll find her singing this song.]

[bunnyblitz]

[It wasn't so bad. After the strange day the song was rather calming. He did, in fact, decide to follow it and he stood at a distance until she was finished singing.]

That's a lovely song.

[perfectvoice]

[While it wasn't as good as it should've been (she still hadn't regained her Append voicebanks, which stunk), she did try. She always does.

So when she notices that someone's listened to it, she grins, turns around and bows. Always nice to have an audience, even if it isn't intended.]

Thanks!

[bunnyblitz]

[Trying is what matters. Of course, it's always great when you get good results. Which is what Barnaby made a point of aiming for.]

You're welcome. Do you sing often?

Phone

[justicecrusher]

[He hears the word hero and is immediately curious as to who this apparent newcomer is, but he realizes that he recognizes the voice...]

Bunny?!

[bunnyblitz]

[His heart drops. The last time he talked to Kotetsu they had been arguing, fighting even. Enough so that Barnaby had decided to run away. Only to find out about who Maverick really was. He swallowed carefully and kept his voice steady.]

Kotetsu. What is this nonsense?

[justicecrusher]

[He notices that Barnaby sounds a little bit different, but shrugs it off.]

Okay, this'll all make sense once I explain it.

...actually, it probably won't. But I'll try to anyway!

[bunnyblitz]

[It was easier to fake it over the phone. He wasn't entirely sure how he would react if he saw his partner in person. He sighs, this time it holds a little bit of his familiar irritation.]

Please do. You could start with telling me where we are.
