Action;1766 Beaver Street
[While finding herself in strange new settings isn't very surprising at all, waking up in bed with completely different clothes is. So if her brand new family doesn't hear her in her room going "What? What? What??" like some sort of one-trick parrot, or the occasional "Hello?" as she wanders through the house, they'll find her still in her pajamas, investigating the fridge. Open, close. Open...close. Open--ooh is that an apple?]

I wonder who made this box so cold?

Phone
--'s this? Is it a gadget? Maybe if I do something it'll talk! Hmm...

[This is followed by the sound of her apparently playing with the dial.]

Hello? Hello? Mister Gadget, can you hear me? I wonder if Meg would know how it worked.

Well, if it can bring all of us here it's kind of like me, but it can take away runes too, and that's something Jeane can do! Right?

[Simple logic, Caesar!]

[commentboxtroll]

[Depends on how you define simple!]

Oh. [Alright, alright, he can see where she'd get that idea.] I guess it is like that.

[waffuport]

Yes! [It's possible to define simple?]

Do you think if I ask nicely this place will give my rune back?

[commentboxtroll]

[You'd think so.]

Doubt it. [Guess who isn't getting told about the post office.] But you'll get it back eventually. You'll just have to wait.

[waffuport]

[What no how will she get her mail!] Well, I guess I can wait...though I don't know how I can help people if I don't have my rune.

[commentboxtroll]

Just worry about yourself for now. You can think about helping others later.

Do me a favor and look outside at the numbers on the house you're in, then the street sign, and tell me what they say.

[waffuport]

Okay! I can do that.

[And this quest will take just a little longer than necessary. But she returns!]

It says 1 7 6 6 on the house! And there was a sign that said Beaver Street! Do you think there's beavers here?

[commentboxtroll]

[He makes a note. That shouldn't be too hard to find.]

Beavers? I haven't seen any dams in town, so probably not.

[waffuport]

Really? I would've liked to meet a beaver...oh, but seeing you again is good too!

[commentboxtroll]

[Good to know he ranks up there with beavers, Viki. :|]

I'm at 847 Goldberg Street. [What else does he need to tell her... oh.] And don't touch the milk that gets left on the doorsteps. It's all poisonous.

[waffuport]

[Hey hey beavers are awesome. Like ducks. Ducks are awesome too.]

Goldberg? That's like Silverberg! I--[wait] P-p-p-poison???

[commentboxtroll]

It is, yeah. [Sigh.] Yes. Poison. Mayfield is a dangerous place, Viki.

[waffuport]

But then...why would they poison the milk? Did they poison all of it? I hope nobody drinks it, that'd be bad...!

[commentboxtroll]

Only the milk the Milkman leaves is poisonous. Everything else is safe.

[For now.]

The Milkman is a lunatic. I don't think he has any actual reason to why he does it.

[waffuport]

Really? I guess that's kind of good...Do you think somebody can stop the milkman somehow? He shouldn't keep doing stuff like that.

[commentboxtroll]

I get the idea that he's killed everyone who has tried.

[waffuport]

Is he really that dangerous? Oh, but I guess if nobody had any runes it would be kind of difficult, wouldn't it?

[commentboxtroll]

He really is. It isn't that the rest of the town lacks in ways to fight. They have plenty of magic without runes.

[And then some.]

It's just the people who control the town are a lot more powerful than everyone together is.

[waffuport]

...He's really that strong?? But, but I didn't know anyone could be as strong as that!

[commentboxtroll]

He is, so avoid him. Keep away from the Smiths, Grady, the Postman, and the Mayor, too. They're all the same story.

[waffuport]

The Postman too?? W-we gotta be careful! If, if I get my rune back maybe I could help with the mail instead!

[commentboxtroll]

The mail isn't deadly. Just the guy at the post office.

2/2

[commentboxtroll]

...at least it isn't usually deadly.

[BUT YOU HEAR THINGS, OKAY. About the mail.]

[waffuport]

...Then where does the mail come from? Does the mailman still deliver it?

[commentboxtroll]

It still comes from the post office. Uh. [Why are these questions even being asked?] I guess he does.
