3-choo! (now with real sneezing!)

[waffuport]

Phone

Everybody, I got my rune back in the mail today! I can use it to send you places, so if anybody ever wants help going somewhere you can just ask me! Then school and work and the ice cream place won't seem so far away anymore, if you think they're far away. Oh, also I---ah......ah.....ah.........

[a long moment of silence.]

....ah-choo!!

[This is followed by the sound of someone dropping the telephone! and then failing to hang up. Oops?]

Action;everywhere

[Hello Mayfield. How's life today? Are you at home? At work? School? Going shopping, maybe? Wherever you are, there is now also a Viki. She might even have landed on you! Don't worry though, she's not hurt!

Feel free to run into her wherever, whenever, however! Hope she doesn't embarrass you.]

[And a firm handshake ensues, with a slight nod!]

You can jus' call me "Gat," though, if you like. Most folks from home call me that.

[Gat picks up on her hesitation when Viki gives her own name ... He looks a tad bit skeptical.]

I reckon "Adamant" is th' family name th' town gave you?

Action (EVERY FREAKING WHERE)

[waffuport]

Okay, Mister Gat!

[And she nods enthusiastically at his guess.]

That's right, that's right, it's on the mail and everything!

Action (EVERY FREAKING WHERE)

[nanocerancowboy.livejournal.com]

You don't hafta use it if'n ya don't want. I still use my "wife's" real last name when we ain't dealin' with th' drones.

[Then again, Viki seems to like it. Or at least goes along with it.]

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

Hey, she's a pretty girl and you're a teenage boy. It's not exactly a bold assumption.

[waffuport]

Oh wow, you think I'm pretty? You're really pretty too, you know!

[She pauses for a moment, looking at Caesar....nah. Have a smile, Ginny!]

Action (EVERY FREAKING WHERE)

[waffuport]

Well I never had a last name before, so it's kind of fun, I think!

[She really does enjoy it.]

Action (EVERY FREAKING WHERE)

[nanocerancowboy.livejournal.com]

[That catches Gat off guard.]

Huh. You ain't got a family at home?

Action (EVERY FREAKING WHERE)

[waffuport]

Hm?...I never though about that before....I guess I don't?

Action (EVERY FREAKING WHERE)

[nanocerancowboy.livejournal.com]

... You never thought about it?

[That's ... kind of troubling to Gat. He can't help but wonder if Viki's an amnesiac sort.]

[commentboxtroll]

You think she's...

[Again, he looks between the two of them, before rolling his eyes and finding some other part of the room to pay attention to.

No further comment.]

Action (EVERY FREAKING WHERE)

[waffuport]

Well, I've got a home, but I always seem to end up somewhere else, so I haven't been there for a really long time.

[She seems strangely unbothered by this.]

Action (EVERY FREAKING WHERE)

[nanocerancowboy.livejournal.com]

[There's a look of dawning realization on his face.]

... That ain't connected to how ya wound up in this here fire engine, is it? How ya said you sneezed an' wound up in here?

Action (EVERY FREAKING WHERE)

[waffuport]

Oh right, it is! It happens a lot. I'll sneeze and suddenly I'm somewhere else! I'm glad I didn't leave town this time.

Action (EVERY FREAKING WHERE)

[nanocerancowboy.livejournal.com]

Frankly, if I had that kinda power I'd be glad if I got outta this place. What with how our captors love torturin' us.

Action (EVERY FREAKING WHERE)

[waffuport]

A lot of people have said that...but I've got friends here! If I left I don't know when I'd get to see them again.

Action (EVERY FREAKING WHERE)

[nanocerancowboy.livejournal.com]

Well—that's a fair point. Plenty'a folks I've met I wouldn't've ever seen back home.

But I ain't sure if it's worth th' kind of things they put us through. Like when that sorry Milkman got picked to be th' Chief of Police 'round here.

Action (EVERY FREAKING WHERE)

[waffuport]

Oh, that was pretty bad, wasn't it? Everybody looked really unhappy then. But things like that happened a lot in all the other places I went to, too--I mean, there weren't any milk problems or anything, but there were other problems, you know?

Action (EVERY FREAKING WHERE)

[nanocerancowboy.livejournal.com]

You wind up gettin' sent to a lotta bad places, I take it?

[histories]

[She should help by getting even better at controlling it first!~]

[A gentle smile and nod, in acknowledgement. Keine's already properly picked herself off the ground now, so once she's properly gathered her bearings and found her house in specific...] Now then, I suppose I should be heading back to my house.

Thank you once again, Viki.

[foretastes.livejournal.com]

So cool! Do you have a pod??

[koyo]

Ah, so you aren't a new wife. ( ( So casual about this. ) ) How did you get here? I thought I closed the door. . .

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

Yeah! Let's both do our best.

[waffuport]

Yeah!

[A pause.]

Oh hey, since I've got my rune back I don't have to walk to school!

Action (EVERY FREAKING WHERE)

[waffuport]

Oh, I liked all those places! There were a lot of nice people. But for some reason there's always a war, too. Isn't that weird?

[waffuport]

[She's already the best you can possibly be~!]

Hm? Oh! You're welcome~

[She waves cheerfully at Keine.]
