(001) Welcome to Mayfield (backdated to Sunday)

[dreamofspice]

[Action: 845 Goldberg, morning] [Paprika wakes up in a strange house, in a strange bed, next to a strange man. She doesn't scream, doesn't cry out, doesn't even say anything. She just gets up and looks around, examining everything.

She can tell something's different. Wrong. When she puts her hand up to the pictures, she can't fall into them like she should be able to.

If this is a dream, she can't do anything in it.

But she doesn't even frown, she just gets dressed, admires her new outfit, and wanders around the house.]

[Action: Around Mayfield, throughout the day] [She'll be wandering around town, looking at everything, and greeting everyone, including the drones, with a smile and a cheerful "hello!"]

[Waking up next to a strange man wearing some bling, you mean. Which jingles as Bakura finally stirs awake. A new face? Well, as much fun as it is torturing and murdering Téa's drone day in and day out, Yami Bakura would be lying if he said he didn't want a new toy to play with...]

[Of course, the first order of business? Getting to know your new victim wife. He opens his eye, giving her a weary, if not slightly wary look. When he speaks to her, it's with Ryo's voice.]

Er... excuse me...?

[dreamofspice]

[She turns away from the picture she was examining and smiles at the man featured in them... along with her.]

Good morning!

...good morning. [Bakura sits up in bed, rustling his hair and rubbing the sleepies out of his eye.] You're... new.

[dreamofspice]

[She looks around the room.]

I suppose I am!

Where am I new to?

[worstdmever.livejournal.com]

To a town called Mayfield. They say it's a better place to live, but I'm afraid that couldn't possibly be any further from the truth. You and I... er, that is to say, a good deal of us appear to have been taken from our proper homes. They expect us to live here as families.

[dreamofspice]

[She looks thoughtful. Perhaps a tad bit... disturbed.]

I see.

That's very strange.

[have a very confused looking shoma just... stopping in the middle of the street and staring, because, hey, random hello. that wasn't expected. he tries to raise a hand in a wave but fails by a long shot. i think you killed him.]

Er... Hello? Were you talking to me?

[dreamofspice]

[She smiles brightly at him.]

Yes, I was! It's a very nice day, isn't it?

[noluckduck]

... Uh, hey. [Her eyes narrow.] Do I know ya?

[dreamofspice]

Probably not! I'm just saying hello!

[noluckduck]

Oh, oka--

Wait. You ain't one of them, are ya?

[dreamofspice]

[She blinks, a little surprised.]

...one of who?

[fabumax.livejournal.com]

Oh, well, hello...! [slowwwly working out of his shocked state, shoma actually manages to smile somewhat brightly.] ... Is it? I didn't really notice. Um, are you new around here?

[noluckduck]

The drones, or whatever they call 'em! The only people who are actually happy to be in this shitty town.

[dreamofspice]

Oh, I see. No, I'm not one of them.

[dreamofspice]

Yes I am, actually. My name's Paprika. And you are?

[fabumax.livejournal.com]

Oh... It's nice to meet you, Paprika-san. I'm Shoma Takakura.

[noluckduck]

So why are you just sayin' hello?

[dreamofspice]

Why shouldn't I? I like saying hello to people.

[dreamofspice]

You too, Shoma. You don't have to bother with the "san" if you don't want to.

[fabumax.livejournal.com]

Oh--! Right, er... Paprika. Were you headed anywhere?

[dreamofspice]

Not really, just exploring. Were you?

[fabumax.livejournal.com]

A little. It's better than being cooped up inside.

[dreamofspice]

I agree! The house is very nice but I definitely wouldn't want to stay there all day long.
