[Action 1: Inside 1647 Albright Lane]

[Alessandro wasn't sure how to deal with the situation, it was completely out of his scope of comprehension. He had been in his room, he was at the Papal mansion, how could anyone have kidnapped him? And even if he had been kidnapped, what sort of place was this? The room was strange, the things in the room ( Read more... )

[Bazett notices the boy standing there. When she sees his reaction to the drone, she concludes that he is probably new.]

Are you a new arrival?

[He jumps a little when he's addressed directly. His voice catches for a moment when he tries to speak so he nods in reply.]

J-just now... yes....

Alright. How much do you already know about this town? Do you have any specific question in mind?

[She tries her best to sound less harsh, since the boy is obviously scared.]

Um....

[He looks down at the ground like he's done something wrong.]

I... I d-don't know anything....

[Oh no.

Cain hadn't been expecting to pick up the phone to hear someone crying on the other end, and his own voice (younger than the Pope's) is gentle and soothing.]

It's okay, just calm down and breathe. I'll help you, I promise, start from the beginning.

[Oh! Someone was there, they sounded younger than him too. How could someone younger than him sound so brave and calm? He started taking deep breathes to try and calm himself so this person wouldn't think too badly of him.]

I... I-I'm not sure where to s-start from. I w-woke up this morning here, and... and I'm n-not sure where th-this is. I was in R-Rome last night so.... I d-don't understand how I c-could be here now.

[Ah. The older boy seems to frightened, he'll start with the most reassuring points.]

Firstly, just try to take deep breaths. What I'm about to tell you might seem a bit ridiculous, but what's important is that you're safe.

You're in a town called Mayfield, in America. There are lots of other people like you, who have been brought here without realising it, and we're all working together to try and find a way home.

America? Wh-where is that?

I'm afraid you won't find much help from the operator here if you are looking for Rome. You won't find anywhere outside of this town, in fact.

R-really? So... so it m-must be somewhere that isn't c-connected to the t-telephone system. But... it's doesn't s-seem damaged enough to be a p-pour country....

No it's... America. As of the 1950s, at least. Or... so it seems. Unfortunately, I don't think we're really 'anywhere' at all.

"America"? I-I've never heard of a c-country with that name....

[How could they be nowhere?]

I d-don't think I understand, we h-have to be s-somewhere, or is this... is this l-limbo? Are we d-dead?

S-surly that can't be... th-the Lord He....

[He's not even sure how to finish that sentence.]

[Hi have a green haired girl waving at you from the sidewalk.]

Nope! That's what I thought, too, but we're all alive.

I pinched myself and it hurt. [Flawless Mion logic.]

[imagine Abel's surprise as he was heading out to work that morning to avoid droning, and instead of the usual cheery drone children waving him their morning greetings from next door as they headed off to school, there was...

...a decidedly lost looking Holiness in their place.

he just about double takes, footsteps faltering and he chokes on the pastry he'd been hastily eating while trying to wake himself up for another boring day in town. C-COUGH--]

Y... Your-- Holiness! [did you get that around a mouthful of donut? ...no? well he tried, even if he's dumbly gaping from next door, now.]

shotapope December 8 2011, 05:30:15 UTC
Eh?

[He looks around like someone might jump out and eat him, but then spots the familiar silver haired priest. So much relief, so much relief, his sisters agent was here! That meant it would be okay, right? right??]

F-F-Father Nightroad!?

[--oh, yes, Alec. bank all your hopes on him! he wouldn't dream of disappointing y... you... HAHAHAHA-- oh, poor boy. they're so screwed.

but Abel seems something of in a shock to see him-- it WAS him, minus the elaborate papal robes and procession of clergymen.

it takes him a few seconds of awkward gaping to get his wits together, but-- to his credit, he does manage! swallowing the contents of his unattractively open mouth, he is quick to jog over through the remnants of the snow.]

--Your Holiness! Yes, it's-- Father Nightroad, you're--

[here?? that seems redundant. oh Lord this poor boy...]

...Are you alright?

Wh-what's going on? Wh-where are we?

[He seemed fine, he even dressed himself, such a big boy.]

L-last thing I r-remember I was in b-bed, S-Sister's t-trial was discontinued and.... Then I w-woke up here.
