Semper Eadem

[lady_general]

[After all of the things Celes has witnessed in Mayfield, she's done a rather admirable job of keeping scarce. She knows that she needs more information, however, and after everything has gone back to Mayfield "normal", she's chosen to take a walk down the street to get a better idea of her brand new prison.]

Of all the... alien things. [Celes

[Perhaps unsurprisingly, Dias has chosen to do much the same as Celes. And, since they apparently think alike, it's also not much of a surprise that they run into each other.] I didn't know you were out here.

[lady_general]

I didn't know you'd left, either. [She puts her hands on her hips and raises her eyebrows] Have you seen anything worth noting? [Because she hasn't, and that bothers her.]

[the_bloody_road]

That depends on what you consider worth noting.

[lady_general]

It seems to be a very average place. Almost ridiculously average, now that it is "fixed". [She shrugs.] I had wondered if anything was still out of place, but-- [She stops short and points to a viking ship in the front yard.]

Please tell me you see that.

[Dias stares at the ship for a few long seconds. Then he stoops, picks up a small rock off the street, and hurls it at the ship. The rock bounces off with a small 'thunk' sound.

Even in the context of Mayfield, he had to be sure he wasn't hallucinating that.]

It would seem so.

[lady_general]

Oh. Well. [She takes a deep breath and straightens her shoulders even more.] I guess that answers that. [No it doesn't. She motions to the next street] Care to keep walking, or shall we go our separate ways?

[the_bloody_road]

...we might as well stick together. I'd rather be with someone who finds this as strange as I do.

[lady_general]

Fine with me, then. [ she rubs her eyes, still trying to process the ship over there, and starts towards the next street.] The more I walk, the less I'm comfortable. But I suppose being comfortable isn't the point here, is it?

[the_bloody_road]

I don't know what is the point here. But I don't think it's comfort, no.

[lady_general]

[A sigh, and she rolls her shoulders a bit.] It all just looks the same. If I didn't have a better sense of direction, it would feel like we were walking the past the same three houses.
