1st Hat (Double Intro with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pinkscarflady)
[Huh. Well. This is different. Different, and yet somehow the same. These aren't the clothes Dad went to sleep wearing, and this isn't the bed he went to sleep in, but this is definitely the person he went to sleep with. Brow furrowed with concern, he shakes his head and slowly climbs out of bed to have a look around the room. After a cursory glance, he determines that his hat and pipe are missing. Distressing news indeed - every good dad knows you should never be without your hat and pipe. Eventually, he returns to bedside, placing a hand on the woman's shoulder and attempting to gently rouse her out of what is surely a wine-induced slumber.]
Wake up. Something's wrong here.
[Later on, once the two have gotten their bearings a bit and gotten dressed for the day, Dad and Mom can both be found in the kitchen around the breakfast table. Dad is standing over the oven, wearing a 'Kiss the Cook' apron and frying up some eggs and bacon to start the day. Toast is in the toaster, ready to go in a minute or two. Mom, for her own part, can be found at the table drinking coffee. Irish coffee, rather. Heavy on the Irish. It's more or less just coffee flavored liquor. They haven't met the other housemates yet, but surely the scent of a delicious breakfast wafting through the air should be more than enough to lure them downstairs.]
[Action; around town]
[After a good hearty breakfast - or a good stiff drink, as the case may be - Dad and Mom can be found walking around Mayfield both together and separately. They both seem to be rather calm about the whole thing, and by all accounts look to be taking their change of surroundings rather well. After all, this is hardly the first time either of them has woken up in a different place with no prior warning. Dad's managed to find a replacement hat and pipe, which he's thoughtfully smoking as he walks about, and Mom seems to already have a gin martini in her hand. It's always five o'clock somewhere, as they say.]
((OOC: Feel free to catch them as they're exploring the town. Please put in the subject line whether you want Dad, Mom, or both in the response.))

Hi, neighbor!

How long have you been here?
no subject
[Dad takes a glance at the watch on his wrist, staring up at the sky for a moment before answering.]
...about three hours.

So, you're new here. Has anybody told you about this place yet?

Also, there are these people called drones. They think they've been here their whole lives, and think you have too. It's kind of annoying.
