prpl_assistant | Memo 004: Thank Yous and Loose Ends (Backtrack to day after zombie outbreak ends)

A. Phone (Filtered away from The Doctor, The Major and Schrodinger)

Thank you to everyone who came by the hospital and defended it. It wasn't easy, but we did it, and I'm really grateful for everyone's cooperation.

B. Phone (filtered to both the RED Spy and the BLU Spy)

Would it be possible for me to see the two of you today? Sometime before lunch?

C. Phone (filtered to the BLU Sniper, hackable)

Mr Mundy, I was wondering whether you'd like me to take you around town today? If it's not too much trouble, I can meet up with you after lunch.

D. Action (around 1337 Benny Road)

(Miss Pauling seems to be busy with something, being up early in the morning. It looks like she's baking...something. However, based on the annoyed look on her face, it doesn't seem to be working...there's a strong smell of cookies in the kitchen, with just a tinge of a burning smell. Anyone who happens to be awake at 8am in the morning and around 1337 Benny Road may just get a free sample cookie with some crumbly black bits.)

E. Action
(If anyone's around the neighborhoods, they'll see Miss Pauling holding a slip of paper as she navigates through all the houses in the hope of finding one. She's got a bag of something that's emitting a nice smell, if a bit burnt. Approach her?)

F. Action (726 Anderson Lane)

(With some help from the Spies, she found out where Miss Susan stays at. With a bag of cookies (only slightly burnt on the edges) she finds herself at the doorstep. She looks a bit anxious, but eventually she gets enough courage to knock on the door.)

Goodbye, then. Call again if you care to.

Oh, that's right - Did you have a given name?

(She hesitates a bit. Her family name back home would've landed her in loads of trouble, given the nature of her father's business; hence why she picked her mother's name over it when she's away from San Francisco. No need to attract unnecessary attention and all of that.

But then again, she wasn't in her home anymore. It surely didn't seem like an unreasonable request. At the very least, she could drop her English name.)

I do have one, but I haven't used it in awhile. It's Karen. Karen Pauling. Though I'd appreciate it if you kept it a secret, Miss Susan, especially from the men who are also from my world.

As you like it. Miss Pauling, then. Enjoy your day.

The same to you too.

I'd be much obliged t' you for that Miss Pauling.

It'd be no problem at all. I'll meet you at 2 pm at your house then. What's your address, Mr Mundy?

Hn. Hold on.

*There's a silence on the line while he goes and checks. He actually has no idea what his address is. In fact after leaving the house and the whole zombie thing it had taken him far too long to even find it again. Everything looked the same. *

625 Topper Street. Seems t' 'ave my name on th' mailbox already. Guess they were expectin' me.

*The mailbox does indeed say M. Mundy on it. Much to his dismay.*

Alright, I'll come by your house later then. See you soon, Mr Mundy.

*He's outside frowning at the place he was supposed to be calling his home. Better than being inside while his wife and kids bugged him. Plus th' way she was bustling around doing chores creeped him out. Like she was a robot.*

(She's just walking down the street at 1.55 pm when she sees him waiting outside. Quickly she picks up the pace till she reaches the house.*

My apologies, Mr Mundy, for being late. How have you been doing so far in Mayfield since the zombie outbreak?

You're not late. Jus' tryin' to get away from them ankle biters in there trying t' get me t' help them with homework or some other nonsense.

Guess I'm foine.

That's good. Which would you prefer to get to know first? The neighborhood, or the town?

Guess th' town. All these places look th' same t' me.

All 'f America looks loike this?

Well, maybe some parts, but not all. This is after all how America was like, back in the 1950s.

(She's taking him down the road towards the town now. Along the way, they'll pass all the houses, each one looking the same as the other.)

And even back then, you'd only find places like this in small towns far from the city.

People loike all this boring stuff? Couldn't even find my own place after th' whole hospital thing.

*He shakes his head as he watches the place.*

This is not where I imagined I'd end up.

Well, people tend to prefer it because it's safe, and it was the norm back in the 1950s.

Did you grow up in a city, Mr Mundy?

((OOC: I'm assuming this is before he asked her to call him Sniper.))

Edge of one. But it didn't look loike this at all. Much more .. open an' natural. Don't now why people think this is any safer.

((OOC: Yep. Because he's gonna be so hungover after Scouts he won't be getting out of bed for anything less than attempted backstabbing.))

[Slugger nods, looking the least bit unnerved.]

It's her job. [His eyes slowly vanish beneath his cap's visor as his head dips lower.] We both have one.

That's true. Cities aren't always the safest places, and even small towns like these have had their own skeletons in their closets.

(by now, they've arrived at the town. She proceeds to give him a tour of upper half of Mayfield.)

...And that's about everything on this half of Mayfield. Do you have any questions so far, Mr Mundy?

What's yours then Slugger?

(Somehow, she has a feeling she's going to regret asking this, but curiosity gets the better of her.)

So neat an' tidy it almost makes me want t' muss it up.

*He runs his fingers through his hair, still uncomfortable without his hat.*

Am I supposed t' be doing anything in particular here?

You might get a call or something from the town in a bit. They usually assign you jobs to carry out.

(Have another explanation on the jobs available in Mayfield.)

Great. Sure I have lots of marketable skills they'll love t' have.

*Spoiler Alert: He doesn't.*

What's my counterpart do?

The RED Sniper? He works at both the schools as a janitor.

(Looks like the schools might be getting another janitor as well then.)

Cleanin' up other people's messes? Sounds loike somethin' he would do.

Don't suppose there's some job that would involve me an' a gun is there?
