[Action for 769 Bunker/Bunker Street: Morning]

[Good morning, Mayfield! There's some empty milk bottles on the porch this morning that, once again, Lilly ignored. Who throws those things away anyways...? Well, anyways, that just won't do at all! Feeling very spirited, Lilly has decided to take it on herself to spread the love of milk for...no

[Paying a visit, eh?

Lilly's in luck. She'll find an unsuspecting Caesar outside, sitting next to the tree their yard has, unenthusiastically paging through one of the books that had been assigned for summer reading. He isn't getting anywhere fast with that one.]

[how_right_i_am]

Gosh, the weather's just swell today isn't it, Caesar?

[Lilly opens the door of her car and steps out. She grabs her sword and puts it back into its scabbard...which is unusual for a drone to say the least.]

[commentboxtroll]

[He looks up from the book at the sound of her voice and stares.]

Lilly, you can't... [Drive. Okay, so this must be a drone. Only that doesn't explain the sword.] Yeah. I suppose it is nice out today.

[how_right_i_am]

It's perfect for killing, isn't it?

[She hums to herself and pulls out her sword. She's not going to waste any time with this.]

Did I ever show you that lovely gift I received a week back?

[commentboxtroll]

[Great. See if he ever hands out sharp objects as gifts ever again, Lilly. Just see. Now he's getting to his feet. Up, up, up.]

Uh, no, no, you didn't, but I really, really need to go inside now. I think I just heard Vi-- [Think like a drone, kid!] Mom. I think I just heard mom calling.

[how_right_i_am]

You sit right down! I'm sure she'll understand, since you've been such a naughty boy.

[She takes swift steps towards him, pointing her sword at him.]

Oh, Caesar. You wouldn't want to go inside when you're soaked in blood, anyways.

[There's a glow from Lilly's right hand.]

[commentboxtroll]

[There isn't much he can say to that, considering how fast it all happens. There is a short few seconds where he is literally pinned to the tree trunk behind him, the sword through his shoulder, and immediately after he can only stare in shock at Lilly.

The book he had been holding hits the ground, forgotten and no longer important, fallen from trembling hands. He should be dead. He should be dead.

How did she miss... what rune was that... oh... hey... he should seriously think about running now...]

[how_right_i_am]

[Caesar is saved by one thing.

Just as Lilly's about to slice his head off, grabbing his hair and pulling him to his feet, she drops him and sheathes her sword. She looks at her watch. If Caesar checks his, it's exactly 4:30.]

I have to put dinner in the oven.

[That's all she says. As a drone, she's required to cook dinner...and Caesar is forgotten to her as she gets back into her car and drives away.]
