Case 47: Turnabout Boredom

[Well, Kay's been a housewife for just over a week now.  Once the initial shock wore off, she was actually kind of excited about it because it meant she wouldn't have to go to school anymore.  But now that some time has gone by, she's finding out just how boring her new life really is.  You can find her around town on Friday in a couple of different situations:

1. At home, sitting in the living room watching her Jammin' Ninja DVDs for the umpteenth time in a row.  It's still her favorite show and all, but it's sort of been her go-to activity for boredom lately, and even that's getting a little old.  Family, feel free to bother her before or after work or school.  Passersby can probably see the glow of the big-screen from the street, since she's got the curtains open.

2. In the yard building a snowman.  She's got some food coloring out there with her, and for some reason it looks like she's trying to make it look like it's wearing a bright fuchsia suit.  There's also a messily ruffled white napkin sticking out of where the snowman's head meets the rest of its body.

3. Hanging out at Japan's cosplay cafe when it's not her shift.  She's been working there for a little while now and probably knows the other employees, so any coworkers or visiting friends can come over and say hi while she sits there eating cake and drinking hot chocolate.]

Drones are never as much fun as the real thing. [pout] Stupid Mayfield.

Yeah... did you know my drone used to be on the cheerleading squad? It was really weird.

[identity profile] sting-like-a.livejournal.com 2011-01-25 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
My drone just likes cooking and cleaning~ And calling Ken chubby, apparently. [smirk!] Drones are funny like that!

"Huh..."

[She thinks for a second, tapping the side of her face.]

"I wonder what my drone is like now, actually. The town thinks I'm an adult now."

[identity profile] sting-like-a.livejournal.com 2011-01-25 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
Probably all domestic like mine, considering what Mayfield thinks of women in general~ Here's hoping we never find out, hmm?

[identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com 2011-01-25 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I don't really like being droned. It's depressing.

[identity profile] sting-like-a.livejournal.com 2011-01-25 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
No kidding! I got droned right after Christmas. Totally ruined the rest of the holiday~

[identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com 2011-01-25 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
Christmas wasn't that great anyway.

[identity profile] sting-like-a.livejournal.com 2011-01-25 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
I'd never celebrated Christmas before, and it definitely wasn't all it's cracked up to be~ My present from Santa wasn't too bad, at least.

[identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com 2011-01-25 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
I promise it's not usually like that! It's usually way better!

[identity profile] sting-like-a.livejournal.com 2011-01-25 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure it is~ Mayfield is just really good at ruining things. And I'd say "maybe next year," but I'm kinda hoping there isn't a next year...

[identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com 2011-01-25 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
We gotta keep hoping, right?

[identity profile] sting-like-a.livejournal.com 2011-01-25 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
Right! We'll never get outta here otherwise~

[identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com 2011-01-25 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
We'll make it someday. We're getting closer all the time.

[identity profile] sting-like-a.livejournal.com 2011-01-27 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup! We'll be back home in no time.

[identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com 2011-01-27 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kay smiles, standing back to admire their handiwork.]

"Our snowmen are looking pretty good!"

[identity profile] sting-like-a.livejournal.com 2011-01-29 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup! I can't really make her crown out of snow, but this will do for now~

Y'know, we don't get much snow in Falena, so this is a nice change of pace. I think I prefer the warm weather, though~

[identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com 2011-01-30 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah, I definitely agree with you there. We don't get a whole lot of snow in Los Angeles either.

[identity profile] sting-like-a.livejournal.com 2011-01-30 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
Well, there's a loooot of snow up in the Ashtwal Mountains... but that's not really a place anyone would visit for fun. And if I'd started building snowmen when I went there, I probably would have been yelled at!

[identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com 2011-01-30 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
Yelled at? Really? Do they not like fun there?

[identity profile] sting-like-a.livejournal.com 2011-01-30 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
If they didn't like fun, I would have left immediately! But no, we were just there on business. And we were in a hurry, so there wasn't a lot of time for fun~

[identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com 2011-01-30 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
Ahhhh, that sounds pretty boring.

[identity profile] sting-like-a.livejournal.com 2011-01-31 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
A little! But it was reaaaaally important, so I can't really complain... Maybe I'll go back to those mountains once I get back home, and show Her Majesty how to make a snow angel~

[identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com 2011-01-31 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, you should! Even royalty should learn how to cut loose.
