Old OC is getting a new place to play, Apping to Mayfield

[swineprince]

Hey, uhm... Mun? That's what I should call you right? Right. Okay!

I'm really excited to be going someplace new! What did you say the town is called? Mayfield? Oh! That sounds great! It has "May" in the name! May is a wonderful month. All the flowers and baby birds. That's a good sign!

Wait... Why is Crowley choking on his drink?

[abravelikehero]

Good sign you say?

No... I don't have the heart to tell you the truth.

[swineprince]

You mean it isn't a town of perpetual spring and flowers and baby animals?

[fruit_fly]

Why, aren't you darling?

I won't even comment on why my own dear mundane is choking on her drink. Its terribly silly of her.

[abravelikehero]

No, it's a town straight out of some horror combination of Stepford Wives and Smallville! Only worse!

[schooling]

It's a nice town, but there's no baby birds or flowers, yet! It's too cold right now for things like that.

But still, it's really amazing! The people there can even bring the dead back to life! Have you ever heard of a place like that?

[swineprince]

Oh... Thank you! [He grins brightly at her.] You're very pretty yourself.

People should probably stop choking on their drinks. It's not healthy.

[swineprince]

Horror? But it sounds so lovely! It can't be all that bad.

[fruit_fly]

[She fairly sparkles at him, for the compliment. Oh, how she enjoys her small moments of vanity.]

They should, my dear. They really should. One can only be grateful they aren't spitting it as well, or else we, or their monitors, would be a bit uncomfortably soaked.

[swineprince]

Cold? You mean it's not always spring?

Wow! There are? That's so cool! I can't do that. I tried once, but it was a fiasco.

[abravelikehero]

It is! Cooked poultry attacks people, Santa gives horrible and cruel gifts, women cut you up and put you back together wrong! It's a nightmare pretending to be a nice place.

[schooling]

No, it isn't. [She laughs.] Right now, it's winter!

And I'm living proof that the dead can come back to life! Literally. So, even if everyone says it's strange, it's the good kind of strange, so far. Don't you think so?

[swineprince]

I don't think Mr. Aziraphale would be too happy about that. Crowley was reading one of his books when he started choking.

[swineprince]

[He blinks at her for a moment.]

You were dead?

[schooling]

That's right. I've been the ghost of an old school building for a long, long time.

[Her grin turns a little teasing. She likes to surprise people with that information on occasion.]

[fruit_fly]

And it would be a shame to ruin the written word in such a manner.

I can't say much about where you're going dear, but I can tell it will be a mite brighter with you in it.

[swineprince]

That... That doesn't sound real!

[swineprince]

You think so? Maybe I can bake cookies for everyone!

[swineprince]

Wow, really? How long? What happened to you? Do you like being a ghost or are you happier being alive again?

[Whoah, boy. Maybe slow down with the twenty questions.]

[fruit_fly]

I'm sure of it. Who doesn't like cookies?

[schooling]

You're taking this pretty well, huh?

[That's almost disappointing, but oh well. She decides answering his questions isn't so bad.]

Hmm, I don't really remember how long. A few decades? It kind of all runs together after a while.

I don't remember what happened to me! It's a mystery~. [Partial lie. She has a good guess, but doesn't actually remember.]

Being a ghost isn't so different from being alive, but this way, more people can see me. It's not as lonely.

[abravelikehero]

Depends on your definitions of real.

[swineprince]

Everybody should like cookies! They're cookies! Should I make just chocolate chip or should I make oatmeal raisin? Or maybe I should just make a variety and let people choose!

[swineprince]

Well, I have a pretty broad definition of real, to be honest. But that doesn't even sound like something they'd have back home!

[abravelikehero]

This isn't your home though, this is worse than hell.

[swineprince]

Oh... I, uhm... I'm pretty familiar with supernatural stuff.

Loneliness is a terrible state to be in. I'm glad you don't have to be anymore!

[swineprince]

Hell isn't really all that bad. It's warm and cozy... Unless Mother is upset.

[schooling]

Ohh, are you not human? There's a lot of different kinds in Mayfield, so maybe there's more people like you there!

And thank you! It's nice having people notice you, right?

[swineprince]

Oh... Yeah, I'm actually a demon. Do you think there are more demons in Mayfield? I... I hope not. They're usually pretty mean.

I like being noticed by nice people.

[schooling]

Hmm, I've never met a demon before! This is exciting. ♥ I live with an angel, though, so who knows? Maybe there are other nice demons there.

It's always good to be noticed by nice people. That's how friends get made!

[swineprince]

Wow, an angel? [He looks in awe for a moment.] I've never met an angel before, but I've heard they're really nice.

I love making friends! It's always fun to have picnics with them!

[schooling]

Mm, he's the one assigned to be my father. He's very nice! He didn't even get angry when I messed up the kitchen on my first day there.

[She giggles. Ah, screw it, Ebony is adorable. Yuuko's decision is made, and now it's time for ~physical affection~ in the form of hugs.]

Then, if you like, I'll be your friend! I'm Yuuko. It's nice to meet you!

One day I will have more icons. /s-sob

[swineprince]

Do you have a nice kitchen? I have no idea what kind of kitchen tools existed in the 50s. I hope it won't be too bad...

[He squeaks at first in surprise at the hug, but then returns it with a cheerful grin.]

I'd love that! My name is Ebony. it's nice to meet you too!

[abravelikehero]

Hell is suppose to be a place of nightmares though. I mean, I know some places is just where Prinnies go to be trained but....

[swineprince]

Oh, I suppose parts of it is... Parts where the humans are allowed.
