01 | A return

[bbsatbyrobots]

[Waking up in Mayfield was no big deal. It was something she'd grown used to in her time there. But...this morning was different. She'd woken up in a different room, next to a different person, in a different house (At least that's what the mail said).

So, with a relatively important question, she turns to the phones. The others would know!]

Ah...Why

Comments

Supposed to be hiatus'd but shhh...also 1/???

[bluecapboy]

[Some scraping as Luke desperately fumbles with the telephone.]

2/???

[bluecapboy]

[She's back, she's back, he didn't lose her-]

3/???

[bluecapboy]

Fl-

[Calm down, Luke. Remember to be a gentleman and all that and he's not supposed to be so happy that she's here again but-]

Done!

[bluecapboy]

[Luke's voice shakes a little as he speaks, but he's trying to keep the sudden rush of emotions under control.]

F-Flora! You're back! You're really-!

U-um, where are you?

Re: Done!

[bbsatbyrobots]

[It takes a minute as she blinks at the phone. Why is he so happy to see me? I was here just yesterday...]

...1126 Taylor Road. [A beat.] Wh-why is my last name Justice?

[bluecapboy]

You must have been moved then.

[Though that's really the last thing he cares about. Where was Taylor Road again? With how small Mayfield was, he was certain he could find it pretty easily.]

I'll be there shortly, all right?

[bbsatbyrobots]

Moved? But...

Oh. Oh, yes. The door will be open, so feel free to let yourself in. [She wants to explore the house more.]

[bluecapboy]

[A nod, even though Flora can't see it. Quickly writing a note for the not!parents about his location, Luke heads out to find Taylor Road. Luckily since Mayfield's a pretty straightforward place, Luke shows up after a short while.

Luke knocks politely before letting himself inside.]

[bbsatbyrobots]

Come on in! [She can be found, rummaging around in the living room. She's not looking for anything in particular, she's just trying see what's there.]

[bluecapboy]

[And he enters, upon spotting Flora he grins widely.]

There you are! ...Ah, what are you doing?

[bbsatbyrobots]

Well, nothing in particular. I'm just getting acquainted with the house. [She looks over, smiling.]

[bluecapboy]

[He looks down for a moment, adjusting his hat, trying to keep his composure that she wasn't a drone anymore. There were so many failures he'd lost count of them.]

You were gone for a long time. I was - everyone was very worried.

[bbsatbyrobots]

I'm sorry. I...I didn't mean to. [She frowns, setting down whatever she was holding.]

[bluecapboy]

Don't apologize, it's not your fault. Did you get to see London again, at least?

[bbsatbyrobots]

No, it feels as if I just went through a time warp. One second it's June the 5th, the next it's August.

[bluecapboy]

Oh... [A bit disappointed, but it's not unexpected.] Well, the only major thing that happened was the town being taken over for a short while in July...
