[Morning, 1446 Mitchell Road]

[The first thing Granny notices upon waking is, not surprisingly, that this is not her cottage and these are not her clothes. She would never own this ruffled nonsense.

As she searches the house, taking in the pictures and her surroundings, she comes to one conclusion.]

This ain't right at all. No, can't be having with this.


[Streets of Mayfield, late morning]

[Granny is stalking through the streets with purpose utterly in contradiction to the clothes she was able to find. She keeps glaring at drones that try to discuss Mrs. Smith's apple pies, to no effect. Apparently she needs to build her reputation back up, it obviously hasn't gotten far enough.]

Run along. Shoo!


[Afternoon, John Doe Park]

[Granny is wandering the park, examining plants and animals she comes across. Part of learning about a place.]

Nothing is this tidy. Ain't right at all.

[A lazy oaf is loafing about, as lazy oafs are wont to do. More specifically, he is leaning against a tree currently under examination. He mutters idly in response to Granny's own speaking.]

You've got that right, Grandma. It ain't.

I prefer Granny.

[Her tone of voice suggests that it would be wise for him to prefer it as well]

[Requesting a shortened name woman you are speaking his language here]

Granny it is! Anyway, you're sayin' you think it's tidy here?

[atent-dead.livejournal.com]

The plants. The animals. Life ain't like this.

[bitemescumbag.livejournal.com]

The animals too? Huh, never noticed. Figures.

'bout the only thing right here's the people who ain't brainless. And even some of us are a bit off anyway.

[atent-dead.livejournal.com]

Opposed to that lot with an obsession with pies?

[bitemescumbag.livejournal.com]

[He wrinkles his nose in irritation] Off but not that bad, Granny. You get kinda used to 'em, though. Like they're nothing but a buzz in the background.

...Heh. Drones.

[atent-dead.livejournal.com]

Bees buzz in the background. It's far more pleasant than that lot.

[bitemescumbag.livejournal.com]

The bees are smarter than 'em. More useful, too.

Take it you're new here, huh.

[atent-dead.livejournal.com]

Bees are real useful. Make honey, keep the flowers pollinated. I like bees. Much better than I like waking up here.

[bitemescumbag.livejournal.com]

Agree with you on that. Rather take an angry mob of bees than this joint.

...Some things ain't so bad 'bout it here. But s'only one or two things, tops.

Seems like this place needs a decent witch about it.

[bitemescumbag.livejournal.com]

A witch? Dunno if that'd help, but I guess it's worth a shot.

[atent-dead.livejournal.com]

Proper witchin' can get a place back to rights whether it wants to or not.

[bitemescumbag.livejournal.com]

Huh. Ya don't say. Guess I've never seen a proper witch in action.
