2nd Adventure

[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.]

[Greed looks away at the mention of zombies, being one is still kind of fresh in his mind...]

You can say that again. Those drones aren't even any fun.

[ Saying yes would sound incredibly suspicious, considering he'd been hanging around the womens section. ]

Nah, I'm lookin' 'round for a friend. Her birthday's comin' up. I figure gettin' her somethin' nice is the least I can do when we're stuck in a place like this.

[identity profile] forever-cheery.livejournal.com 2011-10-02 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
What? A bu--. OH. Haha, I see! Well... is this a surprise? Why not just bring her with you?

[identity profile] forever-cheery.livejournal.com 2011-10-02 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
They're tough to deal with, aren't they? But they can't really help it... They didn't choose to be like that, right?

[identity profile] all-ofthethings.livejournal.com 2011-10-03 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
I guess they didn't, but why should I have to play the roll of daddy and husband? I'm not looking for that kind of involvement.

[identity profile] forever-cheery.livejournal.com 2011-10-03 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
They don't know any better. I mean, I'm not mother either, but you can't really convince the drones out of it.

[identity profile] forever-cheery.livejournal.com 2011-10-03 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, that is nice! Hopefully she'll like what you get her.

[personal profile] gandere 2011-10-03 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
... But I don't even go to this school. I'm keeping an eye on someone here, you know! So that he doesn't kill you. So could you just resume teaching class instead of wasting time with me?

[identity profile] forever-cheery.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Who needs to be watched like that? Why would someone kill me?

[Oh no miss this is Aurora's class and she will play 1000 Questions if she wants to.]

[identity profile] all-ofthethings.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
So you think we should play the role?

[identity profile] forever-cheery.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe not totally, but I guess I... humor them?

[identity profile] heartstar-blues.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Because she keeps giving me funny looks when I talk at her. Like she never been threatened by a super hero before or something.

[identity profile] all-ofthethings.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
So you cook and clean?

[He has to admit that is one thing he doesn't mind about the drone wife.]

[identity profile] forever-cheery.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 02:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Cleaning is easy enough, but I don't know how to cook. Not yet, anyway. Heck, I'm still learning what foods I like and don't like.

[identity profile] forever-cheery.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Threatened? Is that necessary? And what do you mean "super hero"?

[identity profile] all-ofthethings.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[He blinks at her.]

Still learning what food you like and don't like? Couldn't taste 'em before?

[identity profile] forever-cheery.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I didn't eat. I was dead. We don't eat!

[Said so pleasantly and still smiling, yep. No biggie.]

[identity profile] heartstar-blues.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I was kinda distracted at the time, I probably could have been nicer.

Super hero, you know, wearing costumes and masks? Saving the day? ☠☠☠☠ like that.

[identity profile] mathisradical.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope so, too. I'm just havin' trouble findin' somethin' she'd like. She's really not into the whole pink thing.

[identity profile] forever-cheery.livejournal.com 2011-10-06 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Well, hopefully you can make it up to her this way.

I... don't know? But it sounds cool!

[identity profile] forever-cheery.livejournal.com 2011-10-06 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
Well, there's plenty here to choose from. I'm sure you'll find something!

[personal profile] gandere 2011-10-06 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
It doesn't seem right for me to rat out one of your students. It seems pretty rude.

[ Playing this game with Rin will result in a severe case of brain hurties. ]

[identity profile] all-ofthethings.livejournal.com 2011-10-07 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
So this place even brings people who'd been dead in their own world back to life, eh?

He has some hope that some of his comrades could eventually end up here, now.]

[identity profile] forever-cheery.livejournal.com 2011-10-07 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Then do you really care for the safety of the other people here?

[identity profile] forever-cheery.livejournal.com 2011-10-07 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
Guess so! Apparently I'm not the only one, either.
