50th Resurrection

[sanctus_dei]

It's Theo's 21st birthday! But unlike most guys his age, he won't be out partying. When does Theo ever party? Instead, he's trying to go about a normal day without interruptions. He's not that lucky though.

a) You'll find him storming out of the bank, as his drone coworkers has approached him with a balloon and a cake. They stand around in confusion as he marches off and makes a bee-line towards home, grumbling.

b) He'll be hiding out in the library, trying to get some peace. Anyone there might notice the man reading books that clearly aren't from the library itself. They're old and well-worn, and any titles rubbed off long ago. He occasionally makes notes in a small notebook as well. Care to bug him?

c) At home, Theo's glad that the house no longer has drones in it, so they won't bring up this birthday crap. Little does he know, though, that the former drone wife has marked the calendar. He'll be sitting outside on the porch, his crows and cat close by. Head is titled back, cigarette dangling from his mouth, and eyes closed, Theo is attempting to enjoy the cooling fall weather. He occasionally takes a sip from a flask in his jacket pocket as well. He's been even more miserable that usual lately and it's even starting to get to him, so he's trying to unwind.

I seriously doubt it. I'm really very normal.

[Other than the time she saw a ghost, and that time she could sense Rei, but those are different]

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

Odd, since it's almost abnormal in Mayfield to find someone who doesn't do something "different".

[infinitemars.livejournal.com]

Unless seeing a ghost once is 'different', I'm afraid I'm the odd one in Mayfield.

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

Ghosts and spirits are fairly common in this town, so not really.

Well Mayfield doesn't have powers it can give back and then take away or manipulate whenever it wants, at least.

[infinitemars.livejournal.com]

That's true I suppose. I can't really imagine what it feels like to lose one's powers, though if it's anything like losing the items I hold dear, it's really sad.

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

It's like losing part of yourself. I got it back after a few months, though.

[infinitemars.livejournal.com]

That's a good thing. [Kira looks at the familiars] I'm taking it you feed them, since you haven't asked me about doing so?

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

I do, or they find things themselves. They're crows, so they're not picky.

[Deimos, the braver of the crows, sits near Kira to look her over. The other, Phobos, sits on his masters knee, fluffed up and comfy.]

[infinitemars.livejournal.com]

That's right. Crows are one of the smartest birds out there I think. [She looks down at Deimos and smiles at him, even if she isn't sure he'll understand.]

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

They are. Though since they come from Mayfield, they sort of act droned.

[infinitemars.livejournal.com]

Even the animals are droned? [Kira frowns. She's taking this so easily]

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

Yeah. They won't hesitate to tell you how much they love Mayf--

[He's cut off as both crows caw cheerfully in agreement. Boy howdy they sure do love Mayfield!]
