[Action A - Zemekis Corp. Offices, morning]
[Secretary.  This must be one of the worst jobs in Mayfield, although Kono really doubts that, honestly.  However, she is very, very sick of typing on an ancient typewriter, taking notes, filling coffee mugs, and hearing every pet name in the book.  After exploding at the first guy who called her

Just the pond in the park.

Re: Phone

[surf_n_makai]

That's it? Ponds don't even move. I was hoping that maybe there was some hidden river somewhere that I hadn't found yet.

[Kono sighs. She's really just having that kind of day - nothing terrible has happened, not really, but she's just feeling down.]

Thanks, though. I guess a pond is better than absolutely nothing.

[moemoetentacles]

Nope, no river. And definitely no ocean. This place stinks.

[surf_n_makai]

Mmm. You from somewhere with the ocean too? If you are, then you probably get how much I miss it right now.

[Peter walks purposefully up the street, determined to hit the high school up and try to figure some things out. He nearly has a heart attack when he hires a gunshot not twenty feet away. He dives to the ground, eyes darting wildly. Where, oh where is that Spider Sense when you need it!?]

[Kono hasn't noticed that she's just scared the ever-loving crap out of her neighbors as she finishes her clip. It's only when she turns around and notices that someone's on the ground with his arms over his head looking around for a sniper.]

Hey, sorry, brah. Just target practice.

[Peter wipes his forehead and slowly rises to his feet, hands still slightly in the air for the nice gun-lady.]

Target practice?! Jeez, I thought the Communists were coming. ...I mean, who else would it be shooting in 50's suburbia?

Re: B - ACTION

[surf_n_makai]

[Kono's lowered her gun, so his hands up just look awkward. She's not going to shoot him, honest.

Wait. She kind of recognizes that voice.

Hey, have we talked? Maybe on the phone?

Peter, right?

How much water were you hoping for?

Re: Phone

[surf_n_makai]

Something like a river or a lake?

[Kono sighs - sure, she's hoping, but honestly she doubts there's really anything.]

Re: Phone

[splashpuppy]

I've made ponds for people before, but the town usually just changes it back if I try to make anything that doesn't fit in a backyard.

Re: Phone

[surf_n_makai]

You can make ponds? How does that work?

[freakinblur]

Water? Nah, not really. Just a little pond in the park.

Stress relief, huh? Usually I head to tha park with my bat 'n' a bucket of baseballs. Hittin' home runs usually helps.

Re: phone

[surf_n_makai]

Damn. I was afraid that was the answer I was getting.

Hitting home runs, huh? Are you a baseball player then?

[freakinblur]

Yeah, if yer a nature fan, Mayfield ain't gonna be much fun for ya.

Amongst other things, yeah. Much as one can be in this place. 'S hard ta even get a team goin' here, let me tell ya!

[surf_n_makai]

Hey, I believe it. Seems like pretty much anything's hard around here.

[undying_heroism]

[not a neighbor, but he enjoys exploring the area. As such, when he hears the gun going off, he blinks and curiously goes over to the yard that he thinks it's coming from]

. . !

[calls out]

OOOOI! Kono! Doing some target practice?

[yeah his voice carries so it'd be no trouble identifying him before he even reaches the fence of the yard]

Re: [Action]

[surf_n_makai]

[Kono lowers her gun and looks back toward the gate. She offers Al a small smile.]

Yeah, trying to keep up my skills. Plus after a bad day it helps take the edge off a bit, you know?

[Action]

[undying_heroism]

I hear that!

Mind if I watch?

Re: [Action]

[surf_n_makai]

Nah, not at all. I don't think I'm going to do too many more rounds, though. Have to save the ammunition.
