[Christmas time. Even if she's stuck in some parallel dimension or kidnapped by time-and-space ninjas and forced to live in the 1950's (she's not sure what to believe), it can be safely said that Bree is a little used to Mayfield by now, and having some Christmas cheer? Why, that just makes it all better. It's also about time that she did something

Got my freaking gun from the damn hardware store.

[Voice]

[herheavenlydays]

I imagined it would be a little more difficult than that. Thank you, though.

[Voice]

[zombee_slayer]

No fucking problem.

[expiatrice]

There is a store here, but the drone clerk won't sell firearms to women. You will have to ask a male acquaintance to do so in your stead, miss.

[herheavenlydays]

But that's...blatant sexism! I know more about guns than most men dream of knowing.

[expiatrice]

I don't disagree with that, and there are likely other women here who share your disposition. It's how things are in this era though, so unfortunately that can't be helped.

Still, it shouldn't be hard to get one, as long as you're accompanied with a man. Wouldn't getting the gun still be more important?

[herheavenlydays]

I suppose you're right, the problem is just finding a man. I hardly want to go into town with my "husband", as it were.

This is what happens when I don't read...I mean yeah action...

[Franse opens the door. She's not used to people introducing themselves, but she might as well be polite anyway and welcome the new neighbor.]

Bonjour~

Don't worry about it. It was tl;dr anyways

[herheavenlydays]

[Oh. French. Bree thinks fast, holding out the basket of muffins for Franse, smiling before speaking slowly.]

Bonjour! I am Bree, your new neighbor.

[cheesewithwine]

[She takes the basket. And yeah she's going to pretend she's speaking normally...]

Merci~

You are actually the first person that has ever decided to introduce yourself to your neighbors. Everyone else here just panics over the phone.

[herheavenlydays]

Well, how silly of them! [She did this a week ago, actually.] Still, I don't see how any could not introduce themselves. I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of each other, after all.

[A young girl opens the door at 1245 Williams.]

These look very good. Thank you. Would you like to come in for tea?

[herheavenlydays]

Oh, they're the best. I even made a few double chocolate ones for this batch. And I'd be delighted to.

[grand_theft_moe]

I am Chizuko Mikamo and this is the Honda Household. Please come in. [She bows and disappears into the kitchen, starting a pot of tea. Western style this time, she thinks.]

[herheavenlydays]

Thank you. [She follows her, idly looking around at the decor.] So, if you don't mind me asking, how long have you been...here.

[perfektsymmetry]

[This kid at 1247 Williams is home from school this afternoon. He wasn't expecting anyone to be dropping by.]

Ah... can I help you?

[herheavenlydays]

[She'll take what she can get. His father or mother here might be drones, so she'll just talk to whoever opens the door like they're the only sane person in the household.]

Yes, I'm your new neighbor, Bree Van de Kamp. I thought I'd bake you some muffins so I could get to know everyone here.

[perfektsymmetry]

[Wow. Not too many people would do that after arriving in Mayfield. He's pleasently surprised.]

Oh, that's very kind of you. My name's Calleo Crowe, nice to meet you. Ah, would you like to come in? I could put some more tea on.

[herheavenlydays]

I'd be delighted, Calleo. [She's just glad she's not being mistaken for a drone.] And I could see just how much you enjoy my baking.
