[A: Elementary School (OPEN)]

[What is that sound floating out over the playground at lunch? It's piano music, just basic tunes being repeated over and over again from the open window of the music room. Cain has retired there to study the books that Charles gave him, tireless in his pursuit of being the very best at whatever task was set to him ( Read more... )

It's fuckin' Suburbsville from what I've seen so far. They'll have Christmas and it's gonna be way too homey and sweet.

...You weren't here for Thanksgiving.

noluckduck December 10 2011, 19:34:08 UTC

Yeah, yeah, I get that some sorta cheesy horror movie plot might happen too, somebody else told me.

... What happened on Thanksgiving though?

[There's a pause, he really doesn't want to talk about this, but she deserves to be warned. His voice is low, deliberately calm.]

They dropped a nuclear bomb on the town... there were dead littering the streets for days. Cannibals attacked in packs and slaughtered anyone not fast enough to flee, and then... some people died of radiation poisoning.

B - /tags you with somebody who's not Clark gasp poisonivyforyou December 10 2011, 20:29:24 UTC

[Flowers aren't the usual Christmas present so Ivy doubts Cain will be getting any, unless it's for decoration. She still has to try.]

See anything you like, little one?

B - OMG WHAT IS THIS SCANDAL! huhu kinships December 10 2011, 20:57:07 UTC

[Giving her a bright smile, he plucked out some mistletoe from the display.]

This is traditional, right?

I KNOW I SHOULD BE ASHAMED poisonivyforyou December 11 2011, 13:02:37 UTC

Indeed it is. Do you want some, dear? Some girl you want to be kissing under it?

FOR SHAME, AL. FOR SHAAAAAME kinships December 11 2011, 22:06:39 UTC

[He flushes a little, looking embarrassed.]

No! No, nothing like that...

A - Hope this works since she's not interrupting sunnysnakeup December 10 2011, 20:41:37 UTC

[She's not here to tell you to shut up, but she is curious about the music, so have a little head poking around the music room door to listen as you play Abel. She's going to try to be quiet, but most likely there will be small noises indicating someone else outside the room.]

Of course :) But he's Cain, not Abel, hope that's still okay kinships December 10 2011, 20:56:20 UTC

[It takes him a little while, but eventually Cain notices the small noises coming from outside and turns his head to look.]

Hello?

lol that slip was what happens when I have a convo going with both of you XD sunnysnakeup December 10 2011, 21:02:25 UTC

[Sunny hides a bit, but finally nods]

H-hello. S-sorry did I i-interrupt.

lol kinships December 10 2011, 21:07:21 UTC

[Ah, she looks so nervous. His smile is reassuring as he shakes his head.]

Not at all, please come in.

Spirited words. I wonder how many will remember them.

kinships December 10 2011, 21:28:40 UTC

I hope enough to make a difference.

We need to work together, instead of struggling alone.

suckers December 10 2011, 22:10:26 UTC

I won't spoil it then. [Because it won't and it never does, Scratch has been around here long enough to know.]

Struggling won't change whether you are in a group or working as an individual. When the town decides it they will make everyone suffer if they must.

kinships December 10 2011, 22:40:16 UTC

Perhaps.

But it's what comes during and after that, how we choose to react, that says if we succeed or fail.

[there's the quiet sound of the front door opening, creaking ajar before shutting again. oh, it looks like Papa Abel is home-- but he's not headed for the kitchen, it seems. those shuffling footsteps are moving for the master bedroom, instead. DO YOU WANT TO BUG HIM OR WAIT FOR HIM TO COME BACK OUT? surely he'd be interested in dinner sooner than later.]

kinships December 10 2011, 22:41:04 UTC

[Why, right now, of course!

Cain hops off the chair and hurries up the stairs, catching him just as he's about to go into the bedroom.]

Abel!

custodismundi December 10 2011, 22:47:13 UTC

[he tilts his head -- eyes fixing glazedly on the little boy for a moment, before he seems to register who it is and what he just... said, derp.]

H-hey, Cain...! [he looks like hell, to say the least -- but the light isn't up upstairs, yet, so maybe the dark would work in his favor. the last thing he wants to do is... cause his brother pain or fear. if he had anywhere else he could've turned, he would have -- but home is... all he's got in Mayfield.]

kinships December 10 2011, 22:51:22 UTC

[It might be too dark to see exactly how much Abel is in pain, but... Cain isn't too oblivious to think everything is alright.

His expression falls into concern and he steps forwards faster, right up to Abel to look up into his face.]

What's wrong--?
