[It's only a phone call this time, though the caller sounds rather irate. Then again, why shouldn't he? He's just been set all the way back to Level 1, after all, and to top it off, he's lost his sword and his Ice spells. Of course he'd be mad about it.]

What the hell is going on here?! I thought we were already done with losing things we just got ( Read more... )

[ACTION]

[He was down in the basement when it happened. One moment he was researching madly, the next...it happened in an instant: above, he heard something, and had to investigate ( Read more... )

[ACTION; somewhere in town]

[When Mao got himself some mushrooms a day ago, it wasn't with the intention of eating them. Oh, no, he was going to experiment on them. Unfortunately he left them out in the open where the drone!mom could get to it and use it in his food.]

He wasn't interested in going bowling or anything, and was planning to spend the day in the library for once, researching Mayfield's origins (not that there were going to be any results even if he got his way). However, he had drifted off to sleep before he could even ( Read more... )

[...Mao has definitely not checked on things lately, save for in comic books and other such things. The fact that he has basically defied the golden rule by drinking the milk (though he was...distracted at the time) is a testament to this ( Read more... )

[ACTION, 841 Hastings Boulevard and all passing by (basically, OPEN)]

[So it's a few days after the whole truth event that Mao finally decides to emerge from his piles of research material and makeshift lab and go outside. He's not expecting to find a package waiting for him right outside, nor, when he opens it, does he expect the return of his ( Read more... )
