1st Star

[My, what a lovely Monday morning it is in Mayfield.  There's a new resident at 747 Partridge Drive who happens to be waking up for the first time in her new bed, well before the sun comes up.  After all, she needs to make sure the Prince is up bright and early!  Unfortunately, Lyon is no longer in Sindar Castle, and she will soon find that the Prince is nowhere to be found.  It doesn't take her long to notice the change in surroundings.]

Wh-what?  Where am I?  Did Viki sleepwalk in here again and sneeze in her sleep?

[Wasting no time, Lyon heads for the closet, throwing on a simple sundress and tying her hair back with a red ribbon.]

This is bad! I have to find the Prince!

[Action; around Mayfield; early morning to mid-afternoon]

[Lyon is out the door before her new not!family even has the chance to meet her, taking to the streets just as most Mayfield residents should be leaving for their jobs or school.  She's in a bit of a panic given her unfamiliar surroundings, but doing her best to keep calm and controlled.  Finding the Prince comes first - she can worry about where she is afterward.]

Prince!  Prince, where are you?

[Action; around Mayfield; mid-afternoon to early evening]

[Later on in the day, after coming up empty asking for information about the Prince, Lyon turns her attention to trying to figure out where exactly she's been teleported to.  She doesn't know what drones are yet, so she's just asking whoever she sees around.]

Excuse me!  I'm afraid I'm a bit lost.  Can you tell me how far we are from the Queendom of Falena...?

[Action; 747 Partridge; early evening]

[Of course, Lyon's search is ultimately fruitless, and after spending a good deal of the day frantically running around town, she finally slinks back to 747 Partridge Drive.  New family, there is now a cute teenage girl looking rather downtrodden slowly making her way through the front door with a heavy sigh.]

What's going on in this town...

Love...? Are you two dating?

[Lyon sounds a little shocked, but also pretty pleased. Miakis is her friend, after all - it's only natural to want her to be happy.]

[See Ken. See Ken turn bright red. Blush Ken blush.

He nods and pushes his fingers together.]

Yeah, she didn't tell you? Well, I guess she had other things to talk about. But yes. We're dating. And yes, she knows.

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

How long have the two of you been together?

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Uh...for...for a month or so. I really like her a lot, she's kinda the perfect girl for me.

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

That's great! I'm happy for you.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

[Ken smiles bashfully back at her. He was glad that he had the approval of someone who knew Miakis from home.]

I'm glad. Thank you.

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

So how long have you been here, Ken? Miakis said she's been in Mayfield for over a year already.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

I think almost a year. And Miakis doesn't count. She said she went home for a while...

[He's teasing about that last bit.]

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

Went home? Wait! She said that wasn't possible!

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

She did, did she? Well, she's partially right. You see this town, it can bring us here on a whim and it can send us home on a whim.

We have no control over it so we may as well just say we can't go home.

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

So there is a chance I'll be able to go back!

[Small comforts, man. She misses her Prince.]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

A small one, but yeah, there is a chance.

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

Then we need to hold onto that hope and do the best we can.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Exactly! Hah, great minds think alike.

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

Miakis mentioned a resistance movement, so I'm going to see if I can join up with that.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

I think it's a good idea. We're always looking for more people. I know we'll never get the entire town in one movement, but...

[Ken shrugged]

As long as people are trying, it's fine.

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

Persistence pays off. If you can't get someone to join right away, asking them later might work. Peoples' circumstances change all the time.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

[Recruitment by annoyance, eh Lyon?]

It does...you just gotta keep going even if it seems hopeless.

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

[It's how the Prince got his doctor and his detective agency!]

Right. The Prince is really good at it, but I'll have to do my best since he isn't around.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

[So true.]

Well, at least you have Miakis around to show you the ropes about this place. And me too, and if you haven't met Omi yet, I'm sure he'll help as well.

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen Omi yet. Is he shy?

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

A little, especially around girls. [Ken is half right, and half just making trouble for his younger friend.]

I'm sure you two will run into each other sooner or later.

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

I'm sure we will. I'll say hello later.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Sounds good. I'm sure you two will get along just fine. He's a good kid, and it seems like you are too.

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

That's good. I wouldn't want to be any trouble for anyone.
