[A red-headed young man with a cigarette dangling from his mouth and a book in his and answers the door. He doesn't look pleased.]

Then what do you want.

[latelyblooming]

[ she twitches a little when she sees his expression. yikes she's had to deal with way too much of that. on the upside he at least hasn't told her to die yet and she is inconveniencing him...

plastering on a pleasant/pleading smile that's her attempt at COURTEOUS PROFESSIONAL she bows ]

I'm very sorry for the trouble. I just got here and I. Um. rushedoutofthehouseIwokeupinandnowIdon'trememberwhichoneitis.

[sanctusdei]

...You're lost, then.

[Eyes her pocket]

Your underwear's showing.

[latelyblooming]

[ she's resisting to back away when he brings up the underwear and shen she starts flailing her arms all like NO ]

It's not mine!

[ and then she thinks about what she just totally implied by claiming that it's not hers ]

It's not--- that I stole this from someone else though!

[sanctusdei]

[One eyebrow raises slowly.]

So you're a panty thief who's gotten lost. If you think I have any to give you, think otherwise.

[latelyblooming]

Ah-?! No! Think about your accusation first! I'm a young girl myself! While it's not entirely impossible that I'd be an underwear thief, don't you think that's very unlikely?!

And if I'm a thief, why would I be going around asking for it?

[ because that's clearly the important point to argue, ohana ]

[sanctusdei]

I don't know what kind of weirdo you might be. This town brings in all types.

[Thanks, Mayfield. It's not often easy trolling targets knock on the door.]

[latelyblooming]

If that's true then statistically and conventionally speaking, you'd be a weirdo too right? In that case, you shouldn't be holding this incredibly strange situation against me! We're companions in weirdness!

[sanctusdei]

Hnn. Maybe I'm weird, but I'm no pervert.

[latelyblooming]

That's too quick an assumption! There are any number of acceptable reasons why I'd have underwear that doesn't belong to me in my possession!

[sanctusdei]

So they really aren't yours, then. Maybe they were some sort of back-up pair, I don't know.

Anyway, I don't have any clue what house you live in, but I know it's not this one.

[latelyblooming]

Well, I think. [ sullen ] They're supposed to be mine. I woke up in a room and these were in the closet. But it's not like I even know how to put them on!

[ lol pressing her luck ]

...It's not that I want to say you're lying but maybe you just don't want to let me in there now that you're denying our weirdo comradeship! I understand why you wouldn't want to but...

[ and she inches a little bit forward like she's actually thinking of rushing the door and bursting into the house to check for herself...

...nah. she's tested her luck enough today ]

Thank you anyway.

[sanctusdei]

[He steps in the way of the door just in case.]

I've lived in this town for over a year now, and I know to check to see if the portraits have changed over night to see if we got a new addition in the house.

Whatever is in your house here is your now. You're stuck in Mayfield like you've always lived here.

[latelyblooming]

What? They can change those pictures overnight? [ awed by the mad photo editing skills ] I saw some of those pictures at... my house, I guess? There were even some of me when I was younger.

This is a really elaborate kidnapping scheme.

[sanctusdei]

Pretty much. It's complete BS. No one still knows how they do it.

[latelyblooming]

And you've been here for over a year?

...I don't know why any kidnapper would hold on to people for that long.
