[And opening the door will be Bridge, covered in... macaroni necklaces, apparently. There's something wrong with them drone kids, I tell ya.]

...Oh, Doctor Higa! What's up?

C is for Cookie, only not, in this case. ooeeooahah June 19 2011, 17:24:09 UTC

Mr Carson, I missed seeing you earlier, so stopped by to give you this.

[ She hands him a baking dish, wrapped in newspaper to keep it warm. It smells like cinnamon and butter with a little rum undercurrent. ]

I took the idea of buttered toast a little further.

buttery_tech June 19 2011, 19:22:46 UTC

[Whoa, that actually smells pretty delicious. He'll be sure to hold it carefully.]

Wow, you must've put a lot into this. It smells yummy. But, uhm, you didn't have to go through all that trouble just for me. I mean, I know it's Father's Day and all, but shouldn't you be focusing on your family?

ooeeooahah June 19 2011, 19:40:42 UTC

Oh, this was no trouble at all.

[ There's a flickering shadow in her eyes for just a second when he mentions family. ]

Just wanted to stop by.

[ Silly Spy! Why would you think that of your wonderful neighbor! No, honest - it's not poisoned. ]

No reason! Just had a good day for baking.

[ The scent of the caramel and apple coming from the wrapped package is rather nice, no? ]

Good to see you, and have a Happy Father's Day!

[Tarvek's House, where the kids have been burying him in Father's Dayness.]

Oh, Ilsa! Hi!

[Tarvek's Mun wants to know if Ilsa's Mun wants Ilsa clued in or not. After Mother's Day, Tarvek has a very good notion of what's going on...]

ooeeooahah June 19 2011, 21:55:58 UTC

Hey, Tarvek!

[ It's another Mille Crepes, with raspberries this time. ]

Just thought I'd drop something by for later.

((OOC: Ilsa is starting to get a clue, but it might take a while for it to sink in, considering how insidious Mayfield is.))

velesdonnersen June 19 2011, 21:59:55 UTC

[Hovers in passionate adoration over the mille crepes...]

Oh. Ooooooh.

Oh, my. Ilsa...you shouldn't have. Here... quick, before the kids see it...

[He ushers her through the door and races, pell mell, to the office, where he carefully hides the mille crepes in his file drawers, because he is not going to share!!! Only then does he turn and look at Ilsa, consideringly.]

You know, you really shouldn't have. I mean, really. Not that this isn't like you, but, it's really not like you.

[ She laughs at his antics with hiding the cake. ]

Nice to know my efforts are appreciated.

[ His last comment dims her smile a little. ]

Is it? I just... felt like doing it today.

[Oh good gods, what fresh horror is this. Ilsa, what have you done now 8(]

ooeeooahah June 20 2011, 03:02:01 UTC

[ When he twitches the slightest bit, she chuckles, and quietly greets him. ]

Happy Father's Day. I'll have breakfast ready soon.

threelimiters June 20 2011, 03:20:28 UTC

Ah... yes, that's right. Is that today?

ooeeooahah June 20 2011, 03:26:27 UTC

Mmmhmm.

[ She hands him his coffee. ]

Do you prefer sweet or savory tamagoyaki?

[Hal brightens at seeing who it is, opening the door for her.]

Ilsa! How are you?

C is for cake! ooeeooahah June 21 2011, 19:19:48 UTC

Hi! I thought I'd stop by with a housewarming gift!

[ Since it was just across the street, Ilsa didn't wrap the cake in newspaper, just foil. The still-warm cake has the scent of chocolate, cinnamon and... a touch of chili? Maybe rum? Da'ell? ]

One of my family's recipes.

And it is not a lie! viridian_knight June 24 2011, 16:57:00 UTC

[Hal can't recall the last time anyone's brought him so much as a cookie. His gaze drops to the package in her hands, his nose practically quivering. Is that...?]

This is...quite a surprise, thank you. [And it's still warm, hng. Hal nudges the door open further with his heel, canting his head.]

Want to come in? I've got a pot of coffee on. Creepy drones are out shopping, [he adds, recalling her discomfort last time they were in the house. Not that he can blame her.]

(ooc: augh, sorry that took ages :|)

ooeeooahah June 24 2011, 19:37:20 UTC

Well, all right - if you don't mind. [ Ilsa follows him to the kitchen. ]

I'm getting used to them, but it's still hard for me to work around... [ She makes a small hand gesture, indicating the outdated and erroneous sociological structure the drones enforce ] things.

If you play your role around them, it's easier to get them to cooperate with your plans, but I get nervous when it gets too easy to do that. [ She shrugs, a shadow dimming her smile a moment. ] It either means I'm playing into their hands, or I'm getting better at manipulating them. Neither option is comfortable for me.

[ Then she brightens again. ] How have you been settling in?
