sanctus_dei | 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.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Brave crow is still trying to stop Theo, but he pushes past it. It eventually gives up and lands on his shoulder.] You're such a damn loudmouth. [But Theo still waits for Ken.]

[Ken laughs] I've heard that one before. [He thinks Theo is talking to him. He shoves his feet into his shoes and heads out the door with him.]

So...what have you been up to?

Then you're in good company with this pea-brain here. [He indicated the bird on his shoulder. It chatters again.

Erg. Small talk. But with Theo it always comes back to magic.]

Hnn. Just... nothing, really. There isn't anything to do here. I learned some new spells and watched as everyone I knew got droned.

... I met a couple of humanoid summoned familiars living in town. That was surprising.

Humanoid summoned familiars? [He's going to ignore that pessimistic comment there.]

Familiars and summons where I come from are not generally humanoid. They're creatures. But these two claim to be summons, and look like regular people. One claims to be a succubus and the other an ancient Irish hero.

...there's also a guy who claims to be the ancient king of Babylon.

Weird...I guess you get all kinds here. [He rubs the back of his neck]

I mean, look at you and me.

Ain't that the truth.

[He's going to grin and playfully poke Theo on the side of the head]

You're weirder though.

[He gives you a look.]

I don't know about that.

Sure ya are. I mean, come on, you've got two smart ass crows following you.

They're better company than most of the people in town.

I don't know about that. How many people do you talk to. Er...no offense. [That last bit is said to the crows]

Theo just frowns. The bird on his shoulder chatters at you. Hey, THEY like Theo a lot!]

Theo, I know it's painful, but even I can tell that you're lonely. You just have to keep reaching out to people.

[To avoid eye contact, he lights up a cigarette.]

...how long are we supposed to sit in this town and watch everyone get droned? I fucking hate it.

I honestly don't know Theo. I mean, we're working on it but I don't know how long it's going to take to get ourselves out of this place. And even then there's no guarantee we'll even go home and not just get shunted off to another place like this.

We just have to keep going and not let it get us down too badly.

That's always a possibility. We've seen what else is out there. The Soviet town, Westport... who knows how many more of these places there are.

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure we can put a stop to this. [He's gonna grin and ruffle Theo's hair to be annoying]

I just gotta make sure they don't try to send me home.

[He tries to bat you off ineffectively. Why did he miss you again?]

[Because he pays positive attention to you Theo]

Yeah that's kinda a problem for you isn't it. I wonder if you could be sent to another world.

Marisa had offered for me to go back to... whatever that place is called. Gen-something. But looks like they sent her back without me. Whatever. So long as I don't go home.

Marisa? Mmm, Well, maybe you can still go. I dunno. What would you do there?

[He shrugs.] Sounded like magic is pretty popular there. Works for me.

That must sound pretty exciting. Especially for you. [Well if someone had offered Theo a place to go, then it meant he wasn't total balls at making friends, right? There was hope after all!]

Anything's better than home.

[They just fuel each other's crazy. But Ken would be entertained by the two of them, really.]
