Quest One: Not this place again

[littlemiss101]

 [Mae walks up in a bed. That alone is enough to set off alarm bells. She remembers very distinctly going to sleep last night, leaning against a half destroyed wall with a dog next to her. And considering how...well non destroyed the room was looking....

She very quickly snuck out of bed and started to look around the house. Grabbing a baseball bat

D!

[evers_hacker]

[Oh hi, Mae. There's someone blinking at you curiously from the other side of the window.]

[littlemiss101]

[Looking in..oh well it's hard to tell- looks up.

Oh. .....

Wave?]

[evers_hacker]

[Blink. Waves back.

Now she opens the window and sticks her her head out of it slightly.] ... Um, are you looking for something?

[littlemiss101]

...Sorry.. I was looking for an abandoned house.

There isn't one around here is there?

[Mike comes home first thing in the morning, he's had to work the past few nights and it sucks but, eh, better than sitting around. Usually though that creepy drone lady is around to welcome him, but she's quiet.... Too quiet...}

"Hrm... Something strange is going on... Hello?"

[He peers into the house]

[littlemiss101]

[There is a women with a baseball bat in her hands. Totally casual with it. Not going to smash your head in with it unless she has to.]

......Hello. Who are you?

[boostedfailure]

"Michael Carter... I live here... Who are you?"

[littlemiss101]

Mae.

[Crap he lived here. Um okay well talking to them shouldn't matter right? Let's try a simple question to see if he can think.]

Why did I wake up here? And where did all my stuff go?

[Lithuania raises an eyebrow at the woman looking through his window, and opens it.]

Can I help you, Miss?

[littlemiss101]

Oh sorry. I was just looking for an abandonded house.

You wouldn't happen to know where I could find one?

[letunityblossom]

An abandoned house? [He considers this.] I don't think any of them are abandoned. There are some only drones live in, but that's not quite the same thing.

[littlemiss101]

Drones?

B

[waffuport]

Why're you looking in there? Did you drop something?

[littlemiss101]

[Crap. Closes it.]

....

Yes. I thought I dropped my bobby pin.

[Well she was looking for valuables and bobby pins were pretty high up on that list.]

[waffuport]

Oh! Did you find it? Or maybe you didn't drop it after all! That'd be even better.

[littlemiss101]

Ah yeah. Found it next to it.

[Just...going to pull out one she'd already found.]

Guess I'm lucky.

B -

[ooeeooahah]

[ Sorry, but Ilsa's a compulsive recycler; there's not much in the can. ]

Can I help you?

[ Her smile is a little cautious, and she has a basket of kitchen scraps that she's taking to the compost heap. ]

[littlemiss101]

[Damn it. Caught again. Apparently she's getting rusty with this.]

Oh...um....sorry. I thought just drones lived here.

[Drones are alright to steal from right?]

[ooeeooahah]

[ Ilsa headtilts. She recognizes scavenging behavior. ]

What do you need, hon? I keep the recycling in the garage. Even if there's no program here, I can't seem to just throw things out. Let me toss this in the compost and see what we can get for you.

[ Ilsa picks up the turning fork from the tool shed and makes quick work of turning the pile, chatting as she finishes up. ]

I haven't seen you around, did you just get here?

[littlemiss101]

[Oh good, she understood.]

Just thought I'd do a general search to get my supplies up. Running low on bobby pins.

They don't use bottle caps for money here do they?

[Because she's been collecting quite a few so far before she realized it might not be the currency.]
