[Havoc wakes up in a strange house, as people do around here. But when he opened his eyes, that was the least of the surprises that waited for him. He first listened, before he moved. He didn't hear anything of note in the immediate vicinity. A ticking clock. A few kids screaming and hollering while playing outside. The low hum of the heater

[Well, if he ever makes it down to the kitchen, Youko will be sitting there, a pile of schoolbooks on the table, ready to be packed away to go, and a cup and teapot sitting in front of her. She seems to be quietly contemplating something in the snow outside the window.

At least until she hears something moving. She's not used to the drone!dad being anything but overbearingly happy, so forgive if she stares for a moment.

She's also perfectly harmless, try not to karate chop her.]

[He's not that over the top |D

But he finally makes it down there, creeping on the stairs, and then heads to the kitchen. He sees the young girl standing there, and enters the kitchen looking wary, but not immediately suspicious of her. It's not like he didn't have reason to suspect kids of being capable of horrible things.]

[He had a few questions, until he finally landed on one. It should cover all of his bases.] What the hell is going on here? [He chewed at the inside of his cheek a bit, since he didn't have a cigarette.]

Oh... you must be the new 'father'...

[She sighs - and boy does it sound long-suffering, before turning back to him]

I'm not sure how to explain what this place is...

Mm, you're stuck in a place called "Mayfield" - it's... modeled after 1950s America [If he even knows what that is] and... I don't actually know why we're here, but this is apparently the house you've been assigned.

The future? [That's... not what he expected. He was starting to wonder if this was all some crazy dream. He should have known that Ishballan food tasted funny.]

So, we've all been kidnapped and brought to a strange town in the future? [He hasn't decided if this is the strangest thing that's ever happened to him, or if this girl is even to be believed.]

[Eiki was walking up the stairs and down the hall. She was carrying several papers and shuffling them. It seemed she was going to get something either in the master bedroom or close by. However just when it seems she might pass by the door, Havoc completely unnoticed, she stops.]

You should introduce yourself instead of sneaking around.

[smoking_gunner]

[Relaxes slightly, but he's not letting his guard down.] Who are you?

[nothing_is_grey]

Shiki Eiki Yamaxanadu, I am the "wife" of this house.

[The quotes are completely audible.]

I am also a captive like yourself.

[smoking_gunner]

[And he's lost his poker face.] Uh, not mine I hope.
