DEPLOYMENT 8: When the Wild Wind Blows

[walking_nuke]

[PHONE - THANKSGIVING NOVEMBER 24 (Evening, OPEN TO ALL)]

[Balin's already heard about this. It's a good thing he's been asking around, and that Quinn let him know what happened last year in Mayfield. And yet, that phone call from Jack Smith left him wondering. What were Mayfield's leaders up to now?]

[He decides to actually respond to Jack's

TURKEY DAY

[rapier_ex]

Balin! The food!

... It's actually good!

[walking_nuke]

[Looking as surprised as Virginia in that userpic!]

Say what? They ain't kiddin'-?

[rapier_ex]

It's better than good! It's great! -Just gonna bite right into that drumstick.-

[walking_nuke]

[Judging from his expression, Balin's still skeptical, although seeing Virginia happily dig in ... but considering having watched what the Milkman did for a week, and what Quinn told him happened last year in Mayfield, he's half expecting the turkey to be laced with the Milkman's incurable poison.]

[rapier_ex]

-She ain't dead yet. And you're not gonna have a drumstick if you let her keep going.-

[walking_nuke]

[You're puttin' Utsuho to shame there, Ginny!]

Well-what'a hell. Lemme try'at other one?

[Going to help himself to the other drumstick before Ginny can get to it!]

[rapier_ex]

-She has herself a bit of a chuckle, leaning back to watch him try out the food.-

[walking_nuke]

[Balin wrenches off the turkey's other drumstick, classy as ever. And after having a bite ... his eyes widen slightly.]

Holy shit-you weren't kiddin'!

[Eating more vigorously now, because holy crap this is the first time he's eaten turkey meat in seven years.]

[rapier_ex]

-There's not gonna be a bit left for Caesar at this rate...-

[walking_nuke]

[At least Balin's still working on that drumstick! ... So far, that is. Balin takes a moment to speak after he's eaten a good portion of it.]

Man-here I thought for sure'ey'd try'an booby trap it or somethin' after what I heard happened last year!

[rapier_ex]

I wasn't even gonna bother with it, but I didn't see anything funny, so I figured why not?

[walking_nuke]

Think it might not be from'a town? I mean, we got some good Samaritans around town, yeah?

[rapier_ex]

It could be an attempt to soften us up. Catching more flies with honey.

[walking_nuke]

Could be that too.

[Although frowning at the possibility, he takes another bite of turkey anyway.]

Even when'ey "played nice" back on Halloween, there was still'at-well, you know.

[rapier_ex]

Typical really.

... But I'm hungry.

[walking_nuke]

[And so is Balin! If Caesar's lucky, turkey-induced food coma will knock the both of htem out before they eat the whole bird.]

Guess we won't find out what'ey're gonna do until'a other shoe drops. 'Least what I heard about last year wasn't too bad. I mean, nobody had to eat'a turkeys, right?
