[Prologue] [Voice/Action]

[Action for household/Phone]

[The following conversation occurs as Lilly rushes downstairs from her sudden awakening in Mayfield. In her rush, she knocked off the phone that the drone child was using. Her voice is distant and mixed in with the sounds of cabinets being opened and drawers being pulled out. Then, as a drone child is talking to her,

[This creepy weirdo waves to Lily with an enigmatic smile that says she's wearing way too many clothes to be a proper rune mistress as she cheerfully downs 4 meals herself, peering into a book and humming something a little creepy]

[how_right_i_am]

[Watching this freak eat four meals at once is making Miss Pendragon lose her appetite. Well. Almost. She needs something sweet or she's going to punch something.]

What are you doing?

[elevatoravatar]

"Having lunch."

[She smiles]

[how_right_i_am]

And dinner, it looks like. You're not one of those...drones, are you?

[commentboxtroll]

[There is at least one familiar face out wandering the town around the same time that Lilly has finished cleaning the diner out of desserts. Caesar doesn't recognize Lilly right off the bat. Quite honestly, it's hard to do that without her wearing that ridiculous floppy hat and outfit of hers. He already has a lot on his mind, so taking note of the people walking by is on the backburner.

He's content to just stroll past.]

[how_right_i_am]

[Lilly is walking right by Caesar as well. After all, it's not like she expects to see him anywhere. Luckily, Lilly is a little more sharp than Caesar...on this particular day. She turns around and stares, mouth wide open before...]

You! Caesar Silverberg!

[commentboxtroll]

Eh?

[Someone using his full name in Mayfield? That gets him to stop and turn to look immediately. He hasn't told anyone his full name here, which means...]

...Lilly?

[how_right_i_am]

Finally, someone competent! But you look so different...

[She, of course, launches into questions. Caesar must know everything about this place.]

What's going on here? Where is everyone else?

[rapier_ex]

I don't think anyone's gonna care you your daddy is, miss.

[how_right_i_am]

Where is that voice coming from...

Aha! There it is! You must be my kidnapper!

[rapier_ex]

... Try again.

[how_right_i_am]

Show yourself at once!

[sting_like_a]

Now, now, that's no way to talk to your children~

[how_right_i_am]

W-what? I'm not nearly old enough to have a kid this age! I demand to know who I'm speaking to now.

[sting_like_a]

Yes, well, the town certainly thinks you are!

And you're speaking to Miakis of the Falenan Queen's Knights~!

[how_right_i_am]

I would like to speak with whoever is...

Wait...Falena? What is a Falenan doing here?

oh gosh how'd I miss this you can ignore if you don't like backtagging ;;

[fuckyeahsealand]

[Sealand was eating breakfast, but now he's way more interested in this new person who has found knives.]

She's a drone, she can't think anything else.

[Which gets a sibling-rivalry-like quip back from the drone girl, but he ignores it.]

I can't ignore Sealand! If I don't pay attention to him, who will? ;;

[how_right_i_am]

[Oh. There's a second child. She really should have noticed that.]

A drone? ...What are you doing here? Were you kidnapped as well? If you even think of caling me your mother...

because if there's one thing Sealand needs it's attention

[fuckyeahsealand]

Nah, she's [gesturing to the drone girl with a spoon] just brainwashed to think you are. I got kidnapped, too. [Sealand eats some more of his cereal.] I'm Sealand, who are you?
