event: it came from the dairy aisle

[mayfield_mods]

[At 11:59 PM on Saturday, there's a loud whirring sound in the sky. One of the spaceships wobbles and then crashes dramatically to earth, landing just outside Mayfield near the entrance to the highway

[ooeeooahah]

[ Ilsa slides up behind Ema, managing to keep the ludicrous angel wings and robes out of everyone's way ]

Not what I would have expected you to choose for tonight.

[glowing_science]

I didn't choose it. Edward did.

[Does Ilsa even know about her new relationship status? It's been too long.]

You look nice.

[ooeeooahah]

[ Ema hasn't really hidden her relationship with Eddie, but hasn't actually said anything about it yet. Ilsa raises an eyebrow, and chuckles. ]

Hmm, an even more interesting choice.

[ She rolls a shoulder, causing a slight breeze with her wing. ]

[glowing_science]

What, letting him choose or Edward in general?

[ooeeooahah]

Both, actually.

[glowing_science]

[Ema laughs a bit.]

Well, I should have known better on the first one. But... his face was worth wearing this ridiculous getup.

The latter, well... I'm surprised, too. But not unhappy.

[ooeeooahah]

[ Ilsa nods, tracking the crowd movement. ]

Pleasant surprises are good things to find, here.

[glowing_science]

Yeah. I mean, he's a headache, but... I love him.

And that's rare in this hellhole.

[ooeeooahah]

[ Ilsa's eyes track someone in the crowd, with a smile. ]

Rare enough to be appreciated, yes.

[glowing_science]

[Wait, Ilsa's speaking from experience?]

You have someone, too?

[ooeeooahah]

Kind of surprising to find here, isn't it?

[ Ilsa smiles at Ema before going back to watching someone... that redhead in the greatcoat? ]

[glowing_science]

It really, really is.

[Ah, there he is.]

He's a good looking guy.

[ooeeooahah]

Engineer.

[ Said with a wistful, fond sigh. ]

[glowing_science]

Oooooh. As a scientist, I approve.

[ooeeooahah]

Mmmhmmm...

[ Nothing angelic about Ilsa's expression at the moment. ]

[glowing_science]

[Nope, not at all.]

Should I leave you alone with your thoughts?
