A; Action for 1665 Nelson street:
[The morning of the sixth of January started like any other. Hotaru woke up, got ready for the day, before heading downstairs for breakfast. The only difference being of course that today was Hotaru's birthday, a fact she hadn't shared with her housemates, not wanting to bother them of course. Christmas had been a

From what I know about American laws, one has to be a teenager of some sort...

[The second part of the girl's message is what really interests her.]

How do you know when new people will arrive?

[silentfirefly]

13 is the age of a teenager in America, correct?

And I don't know for sure but if you pay attention there is usually a period of time each month, the second week or so that people seem to appear. It's a pattern I've started to notice

[answerer_sword]

I think so...

[She is not an expert on American child labor laws.]

I see...that is an interesting observation. Do you have any theories as to why the town chooses that time to step up its activities?

[silentfirefly]

Hm. I will see if I can ask around perhaps. To make sure.

[Hums softly, choosing her words]

No theories in particular. Just that the events or trials the town puts us through seem to follow this week of new arrivals. Perhaps that's why.

[wingsaflutter]

New people?

[silentfirefly]

Yes. They seem to come every second week of the month.

[wingsaflutter]

Oh. [She's been too distracted by how unpleasant the town is to notice.]

Do you suppose those who left would come back?

[silentfirefly]

I... suppose it's possible, though it's just as possible that they won't...

Did you lose a friend...

( phone )

[pokeay]

I think it depends on what kind of job you want.

[silentfirefly]

Just a part time one... perhaps being a waitress would be interesting?

[pokeay]

Um... then, how old are you?

[silentfirefly]

13.

[battymadam]

At home

Hmmm... actually, I do have something you can do for me!

[Foster reaches into her jacket pocket and holds out a little blue key for Hotaru to take.]

Find out what door this unlocks, would ya? I've just been so busy, I haven't had time to look.

[silentfirefly]

[Blinks, and no she will never be fully prepared to deal with how Foster's mind works. But she does take the key, carefully turning in her hands]

Ah... There is a door in the house you can't get into Foster-san?

[battymadam]

That's what I think. A pretty key like that doesn't just pop up out of nowhere.

[and there is a room in the house that it corresponds to. A room that you can't see from the outside... a room that contains this. The room is a regain, the key is just what she found under the tree on Christmas and went ??? and forgot about until just now.]

1/2

[silentfirefly]

Perhaps someone lost it... has anyone visited recently?

[Frowns slightly before nodding, turning towards the door]

I will go and look though.

1665 Nelson

[foalingaround]

Huh? Oh yeah, I guess there's something you can help me with.

[silentfirefly]

[Nods sharply, turning to full attention to dash] Yes Rainbow Dash-chan?

[foalingaround]

Follow me outside!

[Because Dash needs an audience for her latest trick.]

[silentfirefly]

Outside? [Follows her anyway]
