[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.]

What's "sensei"? [This is a new one to her. But a lot of things are.]

It means teacher! It's a Japanese word I like to borrow.

Oh! I see! Sensei... I like that!

Borrow? So you're not from Japan, but you speak Japanese?

I'm not from Japan at all! The closest country I would be from today is Iraq.

Iraq, Iraq... Sounds kinda familiar. But you said "today", so I guess you mean Mayfield's time? What year did you come from?

More around 2004.

Oh, that's pretty far off, then! It's pretty different from this place.

It's a lot different. I don't really like this place.

A lot of people don't. I can see why, with everything that just happened. But do you see any good points in it at all?

Mmmmm, all the new friends?

That's the spirit! That's how I'm trying to look at it too.

We should be friends! That way we can go have fun, go on dates, and conquer parts of the town.

A date? [She laughs and grins.] Even I know you're too young for that kind of thing.

Conquer parts of town? For what?

I'm not young at all! I just look like this.

And we have to do it because I'm a king of the world and it already belongs to me. I suppose that really wouldn't be conquering though.

Are you not human then? Since Mayfield makes people who aren't human into one, did they make you into a young one?

... A king of the world?

I made myself into one.

King of the world! You already know my name so shouldn't it be obvious?

Should it? I'm not a good person for this sort of thing. Maybe I did at one point. Um, I didn't come from Earth, I guess you can say.

Sensei is an alien??

Oh, no, I was human. I'm a ghost, you could say.

[TOO LATE.]

Hahahaha, I know an alien!

[Oh, wait.]

Oh....well, that's not special. Even I'm like that.

I never really thought of it as being special, I mean, there's a lot of us so-- Wait, you are?

Yeah. I died a really long time ago but I was a hero so now I'm a heroic spirit.

A heroic spirit... Oh, you remember being alive then? Did you live in the Afterlife?

I do! It was a really fun time. But no real afterlife. That's a long story I don't think you'd understand.

Is it really that complicated?
