FEBRUARY 2021 EVENT: PART ONE
CHAPTER TWO, PART 1: A LIGHT LUNCH
Good times, great olives, Uliveto's.

INVITES AND INSISTENCES
After a fairly low-key January, you start hearing the buzz on February 1st: The Happy Homes Association is inviting you to a luncheon on Friday! Stylishly dressed women in coats and hats are inviting everyone they know in the neighborhood, coming up and knocking on your door to invite you personally to come along. “Noon on Friday at Uliveto’s,” one of them tells you with a bright smile. “There’ll be food and drinks, and the whole community can get together and mingle a bit!”

BISQUE AND BREADSTICKS
On Friday, February 5th, Uliveto’s is easy to find — just follow the train of cars headed to North Santa Rosita, where the restaurant sits just off of Main Street with a parking lot that’s packed full. Hopefully you’re willing to walk, because it looks like the luncheon is in full swing! But as you get closer, you see that the ladies of the HHA have things down to a science as they welcome neighbors, invite them to join one of the many tables set up in the half of the restaurant they’ve taken over, and integrate newcomers into conversation.

FONTINA AND FOCACCIA
|
As the luncheon continues, you may be able to notice some of the HHA volunteers scurrying back and forth, taking turns manning the doors and the small table where Betty’s taking donations and issuing meal vouchers. Watch long enough and you’ll be able to see that all of them are ultimately reporting to three ladies who confer at a smaller table set back from all the mingling, talking amongst themselves and from time to time making notes in a small ledger. At about half past noon, one of the women stands, calling out, “May I have your attention, please?” She has to repeat it a couple times to be heard, but after a minute or two everybody settles down. The woman nods toward all of the guests, then turns back to the table, allowing one of the women to stand and make herself known. Tall, graceful, and neat, she takes a look around the room as she speaks — does her gaze linger a moment on you?

MUNDANITY AND MISHAPS

After the luncheon, things in Santa Rosita continue on as normal. The weekend comes and goes, the work week begins, and the cold February wind blows… But when you wake up on February 10th, some of you are missing. |

OOC INFO
Welcome to the first part of February’s event! You can use this entry to top-level for the event, but feel free to utilize the log and network communities as well. Sign-ups to have your character abducted are located here; please fill out the form provided along with any other pertinent details.
You may play with the townsfolk NPCs as necessary in your threads; non-Robbied neighbors will be cordial and happy to make small talk and will try to maintain the pleasant atmosphere. Robbies will, as always, be mindlessly optimistic and complimentary about everything—you may find that most of the Robbies have congregated at their own table and are bubbling with excitement over just about anything.
There will be a top-level posted for Rosemary below. If you would like to have your character interact with her, comment with your starter there. The mods will respond to tags for Rosemary until February 15th.
Any questions can go in our FAQ thread below. Try to check and see if your question has already been answered on the plotting thread first here.
Remember — part 2 of this event is coming February 15th!

no subject
I was home schooled by my actual father, not the fake father I have here and he was pretty rigorous with his training regimens.
[ His fake parents are something else, but got an understanding, so it works out. He sighs as he decides to bite the bullet and tell Az bit more about himself.]
I was born with the ability to manipulate time and space. So it's definitely not normal for me to lose time. It just doesn't happen. At least it didn't before I woke up here.
no subject
I think I mentioned to you that I recently got — something back. A power. It's teleportation. Have you felt your ability return at all...?
no subject
No...being able to teleport again would very much come in handy right about now.
[ He sighs, fighting down that bitter feeling in his chest. ]
no subject
[All it's really come in handy for recently is messing with Archer.]
Perhaps it'll come back to you, in time.
no subject
What about places in town? Have you tried any of the buildings of interest around here?
[ The ones that might hold answers as to why they are here? Is what he is hinting at, but he knows better to state the names of said buildings out loud.]
no subject
[He's clearly reluctant to admit it.]
I ought to, I know that.
[The but goes unsaid: But I'm scared.]
no subject
At some point you will have to decide what is an acceptable risk to take around here. Some times calculated risks are going to be needed to get any where.
[ Which means he's not going to give Aziraphale a hard time for not investigating, but he hopes he will change his mind at some point.]
no subject
Five is right, though. Aziraphale's silence and resigned look say as much.]
I arrived here alongside someone from my world. Someone I... care for rather deeply. If something happened to either of us, and the other was left alone here...
[He's not going to bother finishing that sentence, because the only words that feel fitting would sound either overdramatic or crazy. Or both.]
no subject
Ah. Unfortunately the people I care deeply for, aren't here. I have no idea where they are or if they are even alright. So at least you have the benefit of discussing strategies with your person.
[ Yep he envies Aziraphale not only can he use his teleportation ability but he has support in the form of someone from his home. ]
no subject
[Or something.]
...you might consider joining the Neighborhood Watch.
no subject
Neighborhood watch? Is it ran by the HHA or someone unaffiliated with that group?
no subject
[He gestures between them, indicating... whatever they are. Kidnapees?]
no subject
[ He's still so paranoid over everything that is happening that he remains leery. ]
