Episode 5: The Aftermath Before Lunch

Nov 26, 2011 14:36

A | Stone Street | Exterior

[When Peter shivered and reached over to pull the blanket over him, his searching fingers slapped cold floor tiles and what felt like dirt. What followed was a sequential restoration of his senses: first his legs registered a cool surface through his pajama pants, then his back reported a lack of cushioning supporting his ( Read more... )

[Kono's house has been completely destroyed, and it doesn't take her long to realize the rest of Stone Street is also in ruins. She makes her way out of the crumbling house and goes out into the street.

She notices Peter a few houses down, so she jogs over to him.]

Hey, brah, you ok?

Re: A webball November 27 2011, 03:15:13 UTC

[Peter glances up to see Kae running over. He waves.]

Well, I'm not injured, if that's what you mean. But I AM dusty, confused, a little sore and slightly indigested.

[he gives her a once-over] Are you all right?

Kono you mean? :D surf_n_makai November 27 2011, 03:17:31 UTC

Yeah, I'm ok. I just... what just happened? That came out of nowhere, one second things were fine and then this.

Ohhh MOTHER F$#@R! I am NOT doing that again, I swear to both Bob and God. webball November 27 2011, 03:21:56 UTC

[Pete can only shrug in response to KONO's question. He pats off a little dust and stares around him.]

God only knows... Almost makes me miss the mushrooms though.

Bob and God better be listening then :D surf_n_makai November 27 2011, 03:24:53 UTC

You know, me too. I'd eat the mushrooms over this.

This has to have something to do with that phone call from the Mayor. Did you hear it?

Re: Bob and God better be listening then :D webball November 27 2011, 03:38:40 UTC

[Pete glances up, uncertain]

Call from the Mayor? No, I didn't... D'you mean the Police Chief before Thanksgiving? I heard THAT one...

Just ignore the gun in this icon since she lost it... surf_n_makai November 27 2011, 03:50:06 UTC

[Kono shakes her head.]

No, this was after Thanksgiving. It sounded like someone named John was threatening the Mayor because not enough people gave thanks and praise. He sounded freaked out. I bet if we're going to find answers, we should start there.

[Peter blinks. So, there WAS a point to all that thankfulness stuff. He gazes out across the street, where he sees a few dead bodies lying in the dirt. He wonders if his sardonic just-in-case thank you phone call was all that separated him from... them.]

That's the first I heard of it. Hm. You think this was a punishment then? For "ungratefulness"?

Re: Just ignore the gun in this icon since she lost it... surf_n_makai November 27 2011, 04:07:24 UTC

Seems like it. Harsh punishment, though. Why would they expect us to be grateful for anything?

Re: Just ignore the gun in this icon since she lost it... webball November 27 2011, 04:15:34 UTC

Seriously! If they wanted that, they should have just droned us. No way in hell would we even be satisfied, let alone grateful to be here. I wish ANYTHING the guys in charge here made sense, ever.

[He nods at the corpses] Poor guys. They didn't deserve a flash fire like this. [he frowns] Wait... what...?

Re: Just ignore the gun in this icon since she lost it... surf_n_makai November 27 2011, 04:20:01 UTC

[Kono looks at the corpses before turning back to Peter.]

What?

Re: Just ignore the gun in this icon since she lost it... webball November 27 2011, 04:28:05 UTC

[He takes a few steps closer and beckons her over.]

There is... something on these dead bodies. ...Y'know, besides the dirt and, um, burnt flesh. Not sure what it is though...

Re: Just ignore the gun in this icon since she lost it... surf_n_makai November 27 2011, 04:34:06 UTC

[Walks over and crouches down by the body.]

What is that?

[She takes out a handkerchief that was in her skirt pocket and dabs at it a little bit - that's the best she can do with what's she's got at the moment. She looks at it, and gives it a tentative sniff before making a disgusted face.]

Gravy?

Re: Just ignore the gun in this icon since she lost it... webball November 27 2011, 04:42:49 UTC

[Pete recoils]

GRAVY?! What the hell!?

Re: Just ignore the gun in this icon since she lost it... surf_n_makai November 27 2011, 05:09:40 UTC

[Kono stands back up, also obviously disgusted by it.]

That's sick. The kids in my house... both of them are dead. I didn't look close enough to see if they were covered in gravy though.

That's one gravy train we DON'T want to ride... webball November 27 2011, 05:48:56 UTC

This is... I don't know what else to say. But it is definitely sick all right.
...This couldn't have anything to do with the turkeys, could it?
