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.]

Oh, I thought you meant like a sports team.

From what I know, police in Mayfield don't worry about much, so I think you're okay!

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

If you say so. You'll have to tell me sometime. I've not met any other spirits except for the ones where I'm from.

[mathisradical.livejournal.com]

Only some people can pull 'em off, though. [ This is said with a smirk and a wink. ]

[He examines the two records for a moment and shakes his head.]

Hmmm, I can't say I know these guys. The music where I'm from is different. Well, not completely different, but different songs and people singing them...singers! But yeah, I kinda want to find some new stuff, so that's why I'm here! [Also because he's bored to tears.]

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

[Niou, you smchmoozer. She giggles.]

You think so? Guess I'll try it on, then. Thanks for your help! I'm Aurora, by the way.

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

They've got a lot of different stuff here. I guess it depends on what you like. Since I recognize these names, I'm gonna get them, cuz maybe I was a fan of theirs before.

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

There's a bunch here in Mayfield.

[justicecrusher.livejournal.com]

Good idea! And if you were a fan, then it'll be like hearing their music for the first time all over again! That's pretty cool.

[ooeeooahah]

Still, I hope we don't cause too much mayhem.

[all-ofthethings.livejournal.com]

'Bout the same. Still getting used to this place, though.

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

Yeah! Oh hey, I've got an idea. [She hands him the Ray Charles record.] You get this one, and I'll get this other one. And then later, we can swap.

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

Just have fun and don't get droned.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Mind lending me a hand, I have to buy clothes for someone that's not me.

[What would be her first clue? The dresses or that they were dresses for younger girls?]

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

It does! And the whole zombie thing was pretty scary... Otherwise, it'd be a pretty decent place. Without people getting droned, too.

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

Really? Oh, that's great! I'll have to meet them.

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

I don't think any of these dresses would fit you well, anyway. [She grins.] Who is it you're buying for?

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

I'll introduce you, sensei!

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

That would be lovely. I'm still new here, so I'd love to meet more people.

[justicecrusher.livejournal.com]

[He takes the record and grins while looking it over.]

Okay, sounds good. I can't wait to listen to this!

[mathisradical.livejournal.com]

[ He smirks. ]

No problem. Always willin' to help a pretty girl. I'm Niou.

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

I hope you like it. I'll listen to this, and then we can swap after a week. I'll call you and tell you what I thought.

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you. So are you here shopping for yourself?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

My fake daughter, I think you're supposed to buy clothes for kids when the weather starts changing right?

She's a teenager if that helps?

[forever-cheery.livejournal.com]

Oh, well, um, how tall is she? How much does she weigh, do you think?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

About this tall.

[Uses his hand to show how high off the ground she stands.]

Maybe a buck, buck ten. The ten's probably in her...

[Blinks at the girl.]

Uh, she's got, you know.

[Holding his hand out from his chest a distance.]
