[Walker Count: 2] ☣ Family Matters

[wentthroughhell]

[1445 Mitchell Road | Open to family or neighbors]Well. That certainly wasn't expected. Within an hour of the phone call a roasted turkey had arrived at the front door without all the trimmings. Lori had always been the chef in the family with Rick helping where he could. Odd hours kept him on the go more so than he cared to admit being a Sheriff's

Oh, are you Eridan's not-dad? Hi! I'm Jade!

[ phone ]

[wentthroughhell]

I am. It's nice to meet you, Jade. Are you one of his friends from school?

[frogst]

Yeah! But we also knew each other from home, and I'm his moirail, but I don't know if you even know what that is.

It's nice to meet you too Mister, um...

[wentthroughhell]

Unfortunately I don't know what a moirail is much like people here didn't know what a Walker was. What is that exactly if you don't mind me asking?

[The former Deputy couldn't help but chuckle a little. Manners were something he was having to remind himself about.] It's Grimes, but you can call me Rick if you'd like.

Would you also like to come over for dinner? It's just Eridan and myself, and with this large turkey a lot of it is gonna go to waste probably.

[frogst]

Okay, it's nice to meet you Mr Grimes!

Hehe, I don't really expect you to know what a moirail is, it's a troll thing really. It's kind of like a best friend, I think, but moirails are supposed to pacify or protect each other. And what's a walker?

Hmm, well, if it's just you and Eridan, maybe you could come over to my house! There are no creepy drones in my family either, and we are probably going to have a lot of people over so another turkey would be a big help.

[wentthroughhell]

I think everyone here would call them zombies. Or some form of them at least.

[For a moment Rick actually considered this. It was just the two men in the house, the not!wife on some fool errand that she had happily agreed to do... Maybe going over would be a good idea. That is if he could convince Eridan to go as well.]

That's mighty kind of you. I'll get with Eridan and see if he'd like to do that. Is there anything particular you'd like us to bring?

[frogst]

Oh! We had those here once. I actually, uh, I was one for a little while!

[ Haha Mayfield sure is weird! ]

That would be great! I'm sure he'll want to. Um, whatever you have and don't mind bringing. We pretty much have everything, but for more people we'er going to need more of it.

[wentthroughhell]

[And for a good minute or two there was nothing but silence from Rick's end of the line. She used to be one of them? Was there a cure? Could he- quickly the former Deputy cut that thought off at the pass. If there was, there was no way to get it back to his home.]

Unfortunately they are an every day occurrence where I come from. No changin' back.

Sounds like a plan then. I'll get with Eridan and make a run to the store t' pick up a few things. Any particular time everyone is comin' over?
