2nd Adventure

[forever_cheery]

[Phone call: open to all]

Okay, so, all that zombie stuff is over, right? I see what you guys mean, now. That was terrible! Is everyone alright? Do you need anything? I know I'm new here, but I'd like to help if I can. Anything, you name it!

Oh, I also got a call yesterday from the elementary school, asking if I was actually going to come into work today? I didn't know I had a job. Does this normally happen?

[Later on, Aurora will be found in the following places:

A) At the elementary school! Welcome the new reading teacher, kids. A perky teen dressed perfectly in her 1950s clothes, looking excited to be there while writing her name on the board: Aurora Belle Jenkins.]

Hi! I'm Ms. Jenkins, but the drones will tell you I'm Mrs. Gell-- um, Mrs. Jellv-- Well, it doesn't matter. Aurora is just fine!

Ah... To be perfectly honest with you all, I don't know the first thing about teaching. Things are pretty different where I come from. And a reading teacher? I'm not sure what to do, really... [She picks up her teacher's guide and flips through it, looking unsure of what to do.]

Well, how about this? Since it's my first day here, we'll take it easy! Tell me about yourself. Let's get to know each other!

[And every single student shall be called on. NONE SHALL ESCAPE.]

[B) After school, Aurora will be out and about the town, glad to not be locked in the house any longer. She'll be at the department store, looking at clothes and trying them on, not bothered by the 50s style at all. She actually seems to like it.

Aurora will also be stopping in at the record store, perusing the selection. She'll occasionally pick up a rock 'n' roll album and look it over, thinking. There's something about it that's strangely familiar, but she can't quite put her finger on it. She doesn't know it, but Aurora was born in 1960, so a lot of things in Mayfield have a comfortable and familiar quality about it. But thanks to her status as a ghost, she can't really remember.]

Yeah, happens all the time. Basically, like, the day after they stick you in some weird house, they give you some shithole job. Fucking sucks.

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

Really? So you don't get to pick which one you want? I don't know anything about being a teacher, but it sounds fun, at least.

Do you have a job here?

[notsaul.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Florist. [Considering that some plants can kill her? Not too happy about it.]

[His turn? HIS TURN.]

Jenkins-sensei! My name is Gilgamesh.

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

Hi Gilgamesh! Jenkins-what?

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

Jenkins-sensei.

[Greed's not really a fan of the clothes in his closet, so he's browsing the men's clothing when he spots her.]

This look suits you, girly.

[She's holding this little number (http://s9.thisnext.com/media/largest_dimension/F9CC4D0E.jpg) against herself while she looks in the mirror.]

You really think so? It's pretty great!

If I could wear red, I would want that dress now...

[all-ofthethings.livejournal.com]

Trust me, it'll look even better on you than it ever could on that hanger.

The name's Greed.

[Shion is totally captivated by everything he can find in the record store. To his knowledge, none of this can be found outside of museums and stories, so he's absolutely fascinated by everything he sees.

Give him a moment to look for the nearest person and quietly tap Aurora on the shoulder.]

Excuse me, what sort of device would be used to play these?

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

Oh, um, it's a... [She makes a spinning motion with her finger.] A machine... A record player!

[ Oh, look. Niou's lurking around the girls clothes section again. It's completely normal to show an interest in female attire where he's from, really! He steps out from behind a rack of clothes and watches. ]

You'd look good in pink. It goes nice with your skin tone.

[ He's holding this (http://www.bluevelvetvintage.com/vintage_style_files/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/dr1562v1.jpg) in one hand. For himself, actually, but if she takes an interest in it, he'll pretend that's why he has it. ]

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

[She beams.] Oh wow! That's great! Oh, do you really think so? I do like pink... Can I see it?

[Yeah, she wouldn't immediately think it was for him.]

[ooeeooahah]

[ Ilsa sounds tired, but glad to hear from her. ] You alright, hon?

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was stuck in the house alone for a few days, but I'm okay! What about you?

[Do you know who sometimes has to buy his kids clothes?

This guy. Wearing his "costume" at the moment and frowning at clothes for girls.

Spotting Aurora.]

Hey, kid, you good at matching colors?

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

Oh... Actually, I am! [She is very excited. It's not often you remember the things you're good at as a ghost.] What do you need?

[r3lic-hunt3r.livejournal.com]

[Don't mind him... he's just curious as to what you're doing over there by the records.]

Finding anything interesting?

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

Oh, um... Well they all sound interesting, really! I'm not familiar with most of them, though a few of the names do seem to ring a bell with me...

[She flips through the rock records, thinking.]

[ Yes, she looks much too old to be an elementary school student. Yes, she looks much too young to be an elementary school teacher. She may or may not be here because Gilgamesh brought up killing his teacher once before. So she does checks every so often. ]

Wha-? You can't be serious. You want me to introduce myself?

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

[What's the problem, Rin? Surely you want to make friends with everyone!

Aurora cocks her head, looking confused. Was this an odd thing for her to request?]

Sure? I mean, we're going to spend a lot of time in here together, so we might as well get to know one another better.

[Kotetsu is casually looking through some of the records when he spots Aurora. He wanders over to her and waves.]

Hey! Know any of this music?

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

Oh, hi Kotetsu! Um, I think I do. Some of it's really familiar. That's really exciting for me. Like these two guys! [She holds up two records from her pile - Bobby Darin and Ray Charles.] I don't recognize the names of the songs though, but maybe I'll remember them once I actually hear them.

[Hajime grins]

I'm Hajime and I'm so happy you're a regular person!

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

[She laughs at that.] I'm glad I am too! I guess you've had a lot of the drones as teachers?
