Well... looks like we're all going to have to do a little cutting back this Christmas. But you know, even if there's no power and not as much food, at least we've all still got a good, solid roof over our heads. If you look at it that way, the town's been a lot kinder to us for Christmas than they were for Thanksgiving. I'm sure this is nothing we can't weather if everybody pitches in and helps each other out. Maybe we can set up a food bank or some sort of shelter. It's times like these when a community really needs to come together, after all.
[Early evening; door to door]
[True to his earlier sentiment, Dad is going to pitch in and do his part to make sure his neighbors are at least able to have something to eat during these rough times. He's always been a firm believer in preparedness, and thank goodness, because by now he's built up quite a stock of cream pies. There's probably a few hundred of them safely captchalogued away in his trusty wallet modus, so he figures he can spare a few here and there to feed his hungry neighbors. Dad will be going around knocking on every door in town on the first day of the event, hoping to share the wealth.]
Knock knock, neighbor!

You did day every door in town.

no subject
Date: 2011-12-14 12:06 am (UTC)I did indeed
Date: 2011-12-14 12:08 am (UTC)[Dad avails himself of the warmth, taking off his scarf and coat.]
I came by to bring you some pie. Well, you and the rest of the neighborhood, really.
[He's not carrying any, but he pulls out his wallet and is about to open it when he sees the portrait.]
Hey, that's my son John! So this is where Mayfield put him, then?

Well. That's very hospitable of you to offer...

[Wow, that was pretty terrible. Good thing she is obviously talking to a drone who won't make fun of her for it or anything!]

Date: 2011-12-14 05:13 pm (UTC)Hello? Oh! You are the gentleman I met a few weeks ago. How are you.

Date: 2011-12-14 09:38 pm (UTC)[Dad opens his wallet again to show Germany. It's filled with little cards with pictures of things on them - primarily different varieties of pies, boxes of pipe tobacco, and cans of shaving cream. Here is a man who likes to be prepared.]
It's called a fetch modus. Handy little way to carry things around with you. I like this one because it's easy to use and stores quite a bit. I kept a spare car in here back home. You never know when you might need one.

Date: 2011-12-14 10:30 pm (UTC)What.
Maybe... No. Nooo, she is all up in this town's SHITTYHORRORMOVIE-NESS ATTRIBUTE.] I ain't eatin' your brainwash pie!
