[ Eileen stands in the middle of the lawn, wrapped in a bathrobe and looking very distressed. From the way her eyes sweep up and down the block, taking in the eerily similar houses, one can guess that she's a new resident to Mayfield

[Whelp, it seems Eileen is only meeting men today and Tom is no exception. The only difference being the fact that they all have a purpose and he's just kind of wandering around town.

Except for right now when he's hanging out under a tree on the corner.

Just watching people go by.

The lady in a bathrobe catches his eye and there's a quick up-and-down before Tom offers a smile.]

You okay there?

hay thar, stranger

[rebornmother]

[ Eileen looks distracted as she mulls over the specifics of her new home: drones, punishment for "acting out", as Patrik put it. A lot of nasty secrets for such a pretty town. She'll have to watch her step.

She offers Tom a tiny smile in return, nodding in the affirmative. ]

Hell of a lot better than I was this morning.

Long time no see.

[tom_hanniger]

[Well if it's any consolation Tom it pretty sure he's dead and this is some kind of fucked up afterlife. No one told him about the rules either, only that the milk man was evil or.. something. They're all nuts as far as he's concerned.]

I know the feeling.

Nice robe.

You haven't aged a day.

[rebornmother]

[ Oh, yeah. That. It would probably be wise to go inside soon and change into more suitable outside wear, just in case. ]

Oh. Thanks. I kinda grabbed it and ran.

You have.

[tom_hanniger]

[He gives her a knowing look]

That was me three days ago. This shit's nuts, huh?

>B|

[rebornmother]

No kidding. I've been up an hour and already know way more than I wanted to.

B)

[Snort]

From what I've heard it only gets worse. I still can't decide if this is actually happening.

You suck, Hanniger.

[rebornmother]

[ Nods in agreement. ]

It's surreal, like something out of Better Homes and Gardens.

You love me.

[tom_hanniger]

Or The Truman Show. Hey. You think we're on Big Brother?

Only because you have a nice upper-body.

[rebornmother]

God, I hope not. Being stuck in a town is one thing, but being stuck in one house with a dozen other people?

:3

[tom_hanniger]

Sounds like Hell.

3:

[rebornmother]

[ In a bid to change the subject: ]

So, do you live around here?

Re: 3:

[tom_hanniger]

Uhm, yeah. That way... [He points over his shoulder] Nelson Street.

[rebornmother]

Let me guess: rows and rows of white houses?

[tom_hanniger]

That's the one.

What's your name?

[rebornmother]

[ Extends a hand and a friendly smile. ]

Eileen.
