1st Hat (Double Intro with pinkscarflady)

[busy_fists]

[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.))

Actually, we seem to be doing rather well for ourselves considering the circumstances. We've been fairly fortunate so far.

I haven't been here much longer, a few days perhaps. I've been warned that this town appears pleasant but horrible things happen here on a rather regular basis, I would be careful. We are fortunate so far but it may not last as long as we would like.

[busy-fists.livejournal.com]

Horrible things, huh? What sort of horrible things?

[pinkscarflady.livejournal.com]

I don't suppose they've got a schedule up anywhere?

[Only half joking.]

[motherofjegus.livejournal.com]

I don't know specifics but it puts many of the residents who have been here for an extended period on edge. I've seen two people who carry swords with them at all times in case they are attacked.

A schedule would be beneficial for us, but I don't think the town provides one.

[busy-fists.livejournal.com]

Well, thanks for the warning, then. At least we'll be able to be prepared.

[pinkscarflady.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I do alright without one, but it may not hurt to find out if I can lay my hands on a gun somehow.

Can't be too prepared, after all...

[And a flask. It'll be more portable than the glass.]
