26th Resurrection

[Today Theo can be seen arguing with the drone of Marisa out on the street! H-He may be drunk, SURPRISE. She looks a bit frightened, and he's sort of following after her as she tries to skitter away, ranting.]

Come ON! Not you too!? Margot, then Shina, then Tlachtga and now this?! Christ Al-fucking-mighty!

M-Mr. Crawford, I really don't have any--

Stop calling me that! What the hell is this town doing?!

I'm sorry, sir, but I really need to get to get home!

[And off she trots. Theo is left standing there, looking confused and crushed, which melts away quickly to anger. He turns to head home after a few moments. His two crow familiars join him then, and chatter support at him. To most others, they just make crow noises, but he can obviously understand them. Or maybe he IS just really drunk.]

Maybe, I don't know.

...

No, she's droned too. ...For awhile now.

...

What?! No, he isn't... I don't think he is. Not that it goddamn matters!

...

Because! He doesn't... talk to me anymore, remember?

...

Are you crazy?! What do you know, stupid bird...

[It goes on like this for awhile as he walks through town. But, it results in Theo ending up at Ken's house on Partridge Drive. Feel free to stop him during any of this, or answer the door when he knocks. Loudy.]

[He pauses a moment to think on it.]

...it USED to be.

Whatever. It makes the day go faster at any rate.

Lemon or sugar? I don't have any milk for obvious reasons.

And I understand trying to make the days here blur together but it's bad for you Theo.

Uh. Sugar, I guess.

Doesn't matter. It's Mayfield. Worst I do is die, and get all fixed up the next day.

[He sighs.] I just don't get this place! There's no point to anything! You sit around, they fuck with you, and they send you off when they feel like it.

[He stirs a bit of sugar into the tea and sets it down in front of Theo.]

You don't need anything else going wrong with your system right now. But yeah, I agree this place is fucked up. It's like we're at the mercy of a sadistic two year old that keeps getting called away by their parents.

[Idly plays with the teaspoon whole he talks]</i That's actually a good metaphor. When they get sick of their toys, they just send them away.

And then bring them back when they're no longer bored with them.

[Also, just because it amuses him, gives Theo tea cookies]

Drag 'em out of the toybox. So I can hope.

[He looks at the cookies. What. Ok he'll have a cookie.]

[They're bland store bought ones, but they go alright with the tea.]

So...at least you're making friends if you're this upset about it.

[Nail on the head, Ken. But he sputters on his tea when you say that. The crows caw - does it sound like they're laughing?]

What? No, this town just keeps taking away all the at least halfway-worthwhile people. It's pissing me off. Keep the idiots but lose the useful ones.

Theo there is nothing wrong with making friends, don't act like I just said that you like to dance the polka while singing show tunes.

.... it doesn't matter anyway! They're all droned now anyway.

[He points to the birds.] They figured you were by this point too.

It does matter! In an unstable place like this, friends are important. And even if it hurts when they go away you still have the experiences with them while they're here.

And no, this town isn't getting rid of me that easily.

Me either I guess. I've been droned all of once in my whole time here. I guess they don't have anywhere to send me back to anyway.

[Surprisingly, he finishes up the tea. One of the birds caws at him again, and he glares at it.]

[Ken pokes the water glass towards Theo. He knows a heavy drunk and therefore knows how to prevent some degree of hangovers.]

Yeah, I think I've only been droned once...but that's probably gonna change soon. And what did he say?

Why? Planning on punching Grady or something?

He's... being an annoying buzzard, that's what.

[Now both birds caw.]

Don't call them buzzards! You'll hurt their feelings! [He says this just to annoy Theo a bit]

Somethin' like that. I can't give you the details, but I can say you aren't far off.

They know they're dumb buzzards.

[One of them flies in now to sit on the back of Theo's chair. And to say hi to Ken. He gives out shiny things, after all! And maybe some food now that they can actually eat again. Theo sighs and pats it on the head anyway.]

Why the hell are you gonna do that? Think you'll actually get anything out of it? Besides brainwashing?

[Ken looks at the crows for a minute, delaying his answer. He then takes some lunch meat out of the fridge and tears it up into little bits, setting some on the window sill for the less bold one and putting it on a plate for the brave one]

It's...well, think of it as recon. It's more of a test then anything.

[Hurray, food! The birds will be quiet for a few minutes.]

Hnn. I'd ask more questions but I suppose I won't be getting answers from you anyway.

Sorry, I'd tell you more if I could.

[Well, if he thought to try and recruit Theo he might have, but he doesn't want the little guy getting into more trouble. And he doesn't want any more Zombies shambling about.]

Hnn. Well. Good goddamn luck, I guess.

Thanks. After it I might be droned for a couple of days, but I'll be back.

[He's going to be extra annoying and pat Theo on the head]

[He only has the energy to glare at you for the moment.]

Yeah, right. Wait and see. You know me so you're cursed.

[This earns Theo a short burst of rueful laughter]

I could say the same for you.

Maybe. We're all cursed for being in this town.
