Case 45: Turnabout Family

"So, um... looks like I'm living at 505 Ricardo Street now, I guess.  And Mayfield seems to think I'm an adult now.  I hope I don't have to get some boring office job.  Anyway, if anybody needs me, that's where I am now.  Oh yeah, and if anybody could help me move a TV across town, that'd be great too.  Let me know, okay?"

"Give me a call back whenever you get this.  I didn't run out on you last night or anything.  It's gonna sound weird, but I'll explain."

"...I'll be over later to get the rest of my stuff."

((OOC: Also, Keiichi and/or Winry, if you still want to backtag the original 'Kay's in a new house' log, it's over here.))

Hnn. I was wondering what the hell happened. Yeah, it's still here, you're just gonna have to wrestle it from the drone girl who's here now.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

There wasn't much left anyway. Don't suppose I could ask you to trick her into going downstairs or into the yard or something while I go upstairs and get everything?

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

I'll send her out to the store or something. Just come over whenever and I'll do it.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

"Great, thanks. I'll be over in a little bit, then."

[and later

[This situation seems weird to him and he can't put his finger on it.

He answers the door.]

Come in. I sent her just a few minutes ago so you should have enough time to get your stuff.

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

An... adult?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

I guess so, yeah.

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

... I'm over a century old and they still treat me as a child here.

It's not fair.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Well, Mayfield's never really been known for its fairness...

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

It's still insulting.

[ohlookboobs.livejournal.com]

An adult?!

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Well, I did have my 18th birthday while I was here. I didn't really celebrate it or anything, but... yeah.

[ohlookboobs.livejournal.com]

So now you're 18 they decided to make you a mom instead. [Hopes he does find himself waking up with a strange lady one day. Dagger won't like that and neither will he]

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Yeah, looks like it.

[ohlookboobs.livejournal.com]

Well, can't say I get Lucy Smith's sense of humour. You're all right, at least? The new guys you're living with are nice, aren't they?

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

I can help you out with that TV if you want Kay.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Really? That'd be great!

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm used to hauling heavy, awkward stuff over long distances.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

You're not gonna just carry the TV, are you? What if you slip on some ice?

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Of course not! I meant to the car. Hell, even I'm not that stupid.

[ Well he was wondering where Kay was when he woke up in the morning. ]

Hey. Is...everything okay?

[filtered]

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Okay! Okay! Don't freak out or anything, but, um... I woke up in a different house this morning, in a different bed with a different guy.

[Quickly adding!]

He didn't do anything to me, I swear!

[ ...A different guy. A different guy. ]

...Who?

--Not that I don't believe you! Because I do.

He's an old classmate of mine. I don't actually know him all that well, but he was pretty nice about explaining everything. His name's Keiichi Maebara.
