Fifth File. [post-Zombiefield]

[ phone ]

Right, so - are we all situated, Mayfield? No more infestations from the undead, or very pointedly, certain idiots who let us take care of their problems? Good, very good.

Now, as I'm to understand - Miss Mokou, Mr. Minch and Mr. Yosuke all had requests for things to be built and/or repaired. If anyone else is in need of my expertise with building or simply taking things apart, then don't be afraid to put a request in. I'd rather be busy instead of bored, after all. I hear it holds off the madness that's rather infectious here. My talents don't stop at just mechanics, either. Name a subject and I'd be able to offer my services - but, please, do be reasonable and not say something impossible, like traveling dimensions or some such. If you do so, I'll simply ignore your call.

[ now filtered to her friends/acquaintances ]

As for another issue, is everyone settling in all right after that? I can help as far as medical is concerned or just to check up on you.

For those who helped me, I'll do what I can to express my gratitude. I'll start off with saying thank you. It [...] meant a lot.

[ action | around 913 Bilko Boulevard ]

[ Luckily, the garage is just as acceptable to work in and by now, she's done work on making the materials usuable. Her first invention will be something small, just to test out what she has to work with here in Mayfield. She's not expecting perfection, certainly, but the challenge is still there. And, you bet she's going to take up on the offer.

On the radio, the station's set to a classical one. Occasionally, she's humming along to the music while she's working. Want to see just what has her busy? ]


[ action | Mayfield High ]

[ Not one to observe her working on mechanical objects? Then you must be one of her teachers or her classmates! She's dressed normally with her notebooks in tow and then some, but she also looks tired. Being in an underground location for three days while warding off zombies didn't serve as appropriate sleeping conditions. She may be putting her head down for a bit, dozing off, but she snaps out of it and forces herself to wake up. At least at this point, she'll be able to regain those bags underneath her eyes.

Maybe she could sleep for a period in the nurse's office. Surely they wouldn't mind, right?

But, she is making sure to try to pay attention in class - even if she already knows the material necessary. ]


[ action | Mayfield's Drive-In ]

[ Diana's just walking around Mayfield until her supposed boss sees her around the drive-in theater. She stops to turn to face him, standing prim and proper. ]

May I help you, sir?

YOU'RE LATE! Honestly, you're lucky I kept you after all the slacking off you've done! Get in there and start selling damn tickets! In my day, if you even missed one day of work--

Excuse me, sir, but I never recall ever applying for a job here. May I see the paperwork necessary to either confirm or deny this accusation you've made against me?

Fine, but this is the last time! Also, just face it, kid - you're never gonna be a businesswoman, so I'd drop the formal tone and all that other crap.

... Pardon me, but that was incredibly rude of you to say. If I want to be a businesswoman, then I certainly have the talent for it. How dare that you insinuate otherwise is simply discouraging. After all, I'm young and what you're exhibiting could very well be enough of an impression for me to be just like you. And, we don't want that now, do we?

Tch, kids these days. Here's your damn paperwork.

[ Diana reads through it not once, not twice, not even three times - but as many times as she can. She makes sure to scan for the fine print in the document. She does this for several minutes, trying to not gloss over any important details.

Though, when she sees her signature, she grumbles a bit before handing her folder over to her "boss" and sighs. ]


Hn. Very well. Do I have a uniform?

Yeah. Now go get it and start selling tickets and concessions. They just don't make themselves, you know!

Fine, fine.

[ Now that she's dressed in the horrendous uniform, she trudges up to the ticket counter to start selling tickets. Inwardly, she's smacking her head into the still up "ACCESS RESTRICTED" sign to her library. But, outwardly, she's being the "perfect little ticket girl" that she can be, faking her smiles and cheer rather well. ]

[they're in the same grade! and Terezi is bored in class. so she is just going to try to wake up the girl resting with her head on her desk.]

Hey!

[identity profile] notalwystrthful.livejournal.com 2011-09-24 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ Diana grumbles a bit before she opens her eyes and shakes her head a little. ]

Hello...?

[identity profile] foretastes.livejournal.com 2011-09-24 09:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Terezi's rapping her knuckles on Diana's desk repeatedly. if Diana's run into a troll before, she'll know what she sees now, but if not- there's a girl about Diana's age standing there, except she's got grey skin, orange horns, and pointed ears and teeth. her eyes are also red with no distinction between pupil, iris, or sclera, but that's not a troll trait- it's just Terezi.]


Hiiii! Human sleeping habits are so strange. I thought you weren't a nocturnal species.

[identity profile] notalwystrthful.livejournal.com 2011-09-24 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Once Diana gets her eyesight focused, she seems a bit puzzled at Terezi's actions. Is she trying to feel around for something or not? Still, it's nice to see something different here in Mayfield. ]

I just haven't been sleeping well, so we tend to fall asleep at random intervals if that's the case. Now, as far as what you're doing - are you trying to feel around for something? [ If the answer's yes, Diana's going to assume Terezi's blind. The behavior matches up for it, anyway. ]

[identity profile] foretastes.livejournal.com 2011-09-25 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[she is indeed, which might be proven by the way she turns her face not quite in Diana's direction, but a little past her.]

I'm bored of this stupid schoolhive. You smelled interesting.

[identity profile] notalwystrthful.livejournal.com 2011-09-25 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Well, Diana won't discriminate Terezi for her disability. She turns in her seat, making sure that Terezi can hear her movements. ]

You and me both, miss. And, how so?

[identity profile] foretastes.livejournal.com 2011-09-26 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Like... [Terezi gives a smile.] Books. Good ones. Ones that've been read a million times. And some metallic scent... [she laughs like it's a funny joke.] It's a good smell. A strong smell!

[identity profile] notalwystrthful.livejournal.com 2011-09-27 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ If Terezi could see it, Diana's smiling. It's thin, but it's there. ]

Well, that might be one of the weirdest compliments I've received thus far, but I'll take it.

[identity profile] foretastes.livejournal.com 2011-09-27 09:35 am (UTC)(link)
You should take it! It is a pretty identifying scent.

Is there a name that goes with it?

[identity profile] notalwystrthful.livejournal.com 2011-09-28 11:25 am (UTC)(link)
Then, I will.

I'm Diana Ethelbert, a pleasure. May I have your name in return?

[identity profile] notalwystrthful.livejournal.com 2011-09-29 01:46 pm (UTC)(link)
A pleasure to meet you, Miss Pyrope. How long have you been in Mayfield?

[identity profile] foretastes.livejournal.com 2011-09-30 02:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Ehehehe~. About a month!

[identity profile] notalwystrthful.livejournal.com 2011-10-03 02:00 pm (UTC)(link)
And how much of Mayfield have you experienced?
