canon is todd allison & the petunia violet

[botanics]

Oh.  You only have a mere day or so to complete your application?  Well isn't that dreadful.  As much as I despise incompetency, I'd much rather prefer you forget about this silly game.

I mean, look at it!  Everything is all the same -- the houses, the trees. And there are those make-shift families with mere strangers who may as well possibly hide, GOD FORBID, deranged and psychotic motives.

Even that shitty city takes a shine compared to this community prison.  Now if you will excuse me, I have work to do.

More important than sunshine and daisies and wives and cute kids and happy ol' family times, Pumpkin?

[botanics]

[ ....... ]

I pity your poor and unfortunately placed "family".

[stabber]

Ah, ah, an attitude like that won't get you home. [ or will it. cyril has no idea... ] The entire point of that "home away from home" spiel to get us all settled in like a nice community, enjoying the free house and company. Maybe you should enjoy the break.

[botanics]

HAH! You know, I'd almost buy that... if you weren't a crazy murderer! Running around free and probably stabbing your helpless neighbors, and nobody knowing a damn thing about you.

Yes, I'd really love to settle down in that kind of environment.

[stabber]

[ he'll have you know he's only scared his wife ONCE and there have been NO CAUSALITIES so far. ] Murderer is a little harsh for a working man, carrots.

[botanics]

[ Yeah that's... not helping... ]

TODD ALLISON!!

[ EXASPERATED SIGH. ] Well, whatever god forbidden place you're locked up in, its none of my business! You're the only one of us shut in there, therefore, you can just stay there and experience the pleasure of not having me.

[ GOOD DAY, SIR. He hopes... ]

[stabber]

[ hey yo one of his kids is a computer hacker dont get on his bad side ]

Well, Mister Todd Allison, member of the Violet Investigation Group, who lives next door to Miss Petunia Elkwood, it might be easy to complain now, but when you're in, don't make it hard on everyone else. It'd be a right waste of time, and our Landlord's a pretty strange guy. Anymore difficult and you might as well just... oh, blow us all up.

[botanics]

[ What's a compooter.

And wait, wait. Let him think about it... Wait........... ]

You're bluffing. The likelihood of me causing such a calamity compared to you is beyond comparison.

[ Cause he's Mr. Allison the OUTSTANDING citizen. ]

[stabber]

You never know. As far as I can tell, the goal with Holly Heights is to be happy.

[botanics]

I am perfectly happy, thanks.

[ Cause he gets to work on his own project instead of cleaning up after arsonists, woo. ]

[stabber]

You look pretty sour, actually. Bit like a rotten carrot, know what I mean? [ :)!! ] But the entire purpose of the town is to make people happy with this shitty suburban life. If you do show, don't waste everyone's time with complaints.

[botanics]

Waste time? Me?!

Everything would be rainbows and sunshine if you would just stop creeping on me and Petunia.

[ >:|!!! ]

[stabber]

On what planet is this creeping? [ seriously it's some sound advice omg ]

[wannaseemyelkwood]

[Oh]

I wasn't aware that you were going to that city as well, Mister Allison.

[botanics]

...Do I know you?

[ And don't get him wrong. Oh yes, HE KNOWS YOU. As a guy who works under the government, who wouldn't know Elijah Elkwood? But that doesn't necessarily mean you should know him, and his identity at that.

Yeah, politician or not, Elijah gets the same nasty mannerisms like everyone else. ]

[wannaseemyelkwood]

[He actually looks surprised for a moment before letting out a small laugh.]

Oh, I'm sorry. Where are my manners?

[He holds a hand out]

Call me Mister Gabriel.

[botanics]

[ He tentatively glances at his hand before taking it in his. Todd makes it short and brief before quickly pulling it back. ]

Todd Allison. Though it seems you already know that.

[wannaseemyelkwood]

Of course. You were in the paper, after all. I wouldn't be surprised if all of Melbourne knew who you were by now.

[botanics]

[ Oh. Oh yeah, he almost forgot about that. Maybe he was over-thinking things... ]

Ah, yes. That... article...

[wannaseemyelkwood]

[He puts a hand to his chin] I wonder...


Was everything that article said true?

[botanics]

I wonder, Mr. Gabriel, do you think everything they write in the papers is 100% true?

[wannaseemyelkwood]

[He smiles just slightly]

So you're telling me that article was fake, then?

[prescited]

You complain but at least you will have familiar people there.

[Guess who's not too happy about not being allowed to go oops.]

[botanics]

If I had the chance, I'd rather be unfamiliar with such people.

[ COUGH. CYRIL. COUGH. ]

[prescited]

[Oh. He's thinking more along the lines of Elijah and Petunia.

But not wanting to not know Cyril is something he can agree with.]

Hm. As it stands, there doesn't seem much you can do about that fact.

[botanics]

[ Good. Cause no sane person should like Cyril. ]

...You know, forgive me if I have this all wrong but, you almost sound like you want to go there.

[prescited]

Is that strange? There's a possibility that people who are important to me will be sent there. Even if it's not a place that's ideal, at least I will be there to watch over them.

[botanics]

Oh... well... [ clears throat. ] I'm sorry to hear that.

Despite the unsavory political system in the community, it appears to be safe for the most part.

[ And the award for most tactful person goes to... ]

[prescited]

Safe or not, I'd still rather be there.

[Just to be absolutely sure nothing happens to either Elijah or Petunia.

But wait, why are they talking about him?? dnw.]

And who knows, perhaps you will find something there that will make your stay worthwhile.

[botanics]

I highly doubt it. I'm a working man, and the resources I need are most definitely NOT in Holly Heights.

[prescited]

Really? And what would those be? If you don't mind my asking.
