In Metropolis....

Eden McCain has a table to herself at a coffee shop - notebook papers are spread over it with titles like 'Main Character' and 'Subplot 1'. The great post-apocalyptic novel isn't going to get written any other way! She felt like dressing like a cliche artist - and is wearing a navy blue beret.

Tom Therin is whistling cheerfully to himself as he walks down the street, idly looking for pockets to pick.


On the Cooper farm....

Bridgette Dubois has a stuffed pony, a lion, and a unicorn in a semi-circle on the lawn to the Cooper house. "Whoever wants me to sing Lion King at the talent show, say aye!"

The stuffed animals are silent, but Bridgette - after checking on Marie, who claps her hands in agreement an area to her left - nods as if they actually spoke. "All right - how about Sound of Music?"

Oliver Wycliffe, dressed in white and looking thoughtful, is riding his stallion Beauregard down the road to the farm.

Dana, an extremely tired-looking young woman in ratty jeans and a T-shirt, is waiting nervously in front of the hospital, gnawing on her lip.

Gray is in Metropolis, drinking coffee and pondering ethical philosophy.

There's a hint of a smile on his face every so often.

Intuition is unusually pensive today.

She's also sitting on the front step of the Cooper house, pensively.

Her dress, if you look close enough, is whiter than it strictly ought to be. Almost as though her rainbows aren't covering it like they usually do.

It had to happen someday.

Ladies and gentlemen, there's an Intuition alternate wandering around the farmhouse. (For a given value of 'wander', considering that here is a person who always knows where she is going.) She's wide-eyed as a child, colourless as a displaced Indivisible, and very interested to meet some of the various selves of Gray and herself who apparently reside here.

About as botherable as you can get; after all, she's here to meet and greet.

This right here? Is how former spies and former Company agents chillax.

Sprawled out on the couch in the Cooper household. Glass of fruit juice. Reading a book with a dragon on the cover.

Eden is so edgy.

It hasn't been a good day for Gray.

Dr. Suresh was particularly vicious about this morning's blood sample, and despite having enough time for his regeneration to even out the loss entirely, he still feels that phantom ache.

And then, of course, they replaced the Tuesday guard, and the new one just had to prove he was tougher than a man who used to be a murderer.

After two decades he really, truly wishes they would give it a rest.



His musings are interrupted by a bright light, a rolling thunderous crack like the breaking of worlds, and-- that's not his cell.

He's standing in the middle of a deserted, half-wrecked highway and he doesn't care, because it's not his cell.

Salt Lake. Cheyenne. Kearney. Kansas. Salina. And finally....

It's been long days on the road. Throughout them all Oliver has prayed, thought about the verses he'd memorized of the Book, looked to the welfare of his horse Beauregard, aided Thrust with his fuel converter when he could....In short, done all he could to occupy his mind as his body healed. He does worry from time to time about how many of those white pills he's taken to swallowing every night.

Oliver finds himself falling back into old habits with Thrust. Over the years he's grown out of being the quiet, nature-loving boy he once was, but now he can go for days without speaking. Sometimes it's just too much work to breach the walls of culture and species that separate himself and Thrust. (Oliver now knows that Transformers can get drunk if they consume pink energon. It's something he and Thrust don't speak of.)

The scene is this: one robot and one paladin in a van - one horse, too, but he's inside and not immediately visible.

"There it is, up ahead," Oliver says, his tone and expression conveying enormous relief, a hint of expectation, and underneath it all a quiet joy. He touches the white flame tattoo on his forehead.

A place that's safe. A place with people. Oliver can honestly say he's never seen a more beautiful sight than the town of Smallville.

Relax ladies, he's a man, and he's got the tool. Er...tools that is. Or he would if he could find some handy to get working on fixing up the supports of the farmhouse and surrounding buildings. Also make sure the earthen rooms were well secured against a cave-in. So Xander was currently on the hunt for a toolbox, toolkit, toolbelt...something. Where's a home improvement store when you need one?

(ooc: Like Kate's post, this post is open to tags to whenever.)

It took a while, but the government set up Eden's bank account. She's not looking forward to doing the same thing with Anna, so she hasn't suggested it yet.

Their new apartment has four rooms - bedroom, den, bathroom and kitchen - and a bare minimum of furniture.

"So..." Eden says, looking in at their new residence, "...we need to replenish ourselves before shopping." She turns to Anna. "Where to?"

After getting some information from Stephen the science kid, Nathan was outside again today. And decided to get started on some aerial observation of the landscape layout. Not much different from what he used to do as a Naval pilot. Just now, he doesn't need a plane. There was a boom as he shot into the air, and started leaving contrails in the clouds as he flew around.

Eden is looking pretty. Her sunburn is gone, she has makeup on, and is wearing a form-fitting copper dress with a silver belt. Her feet are bare - she'd rather go bare-foot than wear her sneakers or flip-flops. Eden has committed many crimes, but fashion crimes aren't one of them.

She's looking for an owner of a certain car who's not Gabriel, because no, okay?. Is he by the pool? Is he in the bunker? Is he on the boat? Is he in the house? Eden will look.

Who does she find?

If the house has gained new residents, Clark is likely only marginally aware. That what happens when you purposefully stop paying attention. He figures it's easier that way. Not to mention he's been spending a lot of time either in Metropolis or at the caves sorting things out.

Today, however, Clark is at the house, sitting on the front steps (because he can't see the boat from this side) and drinking a cup of coffee. Should anyone want to talk to him about anything, now's as good a time as any.

Claire thinks she's adapted quite well to this whole new world thing. Even if all she's done is sleep on a floor for a night and found a kitchen this morning. She did it wothout freaking out once.

The problem now, as she stands in the kitchen looking blank, is how she's going to feed the yappy little Pomeranian at her feet.

[ooc: here's the first one for reference. Want your pup to meet Inty even though they're nowhere near the Cooper household? Feel like having a thread that need not obey the laws of nature? Tag here with a dreaming pup! Now with gratuitous greytexted Joseph quotes! As ever, ping me at pythianhabenero if you've got questions.]

(I closed my eyes, drew back the curtain)


(I wore my coat with golden lining)


(To see for certain what I thought I knew)


(Bright colours shining, wonderful and new)


(Far far away, someone was weeping)


(And in the east, the dawn was breaking)


(But the world was sleeping)


(And the world was waking)


(Any dream will do)

Eden is about to move. She's got her backpack full of stuff - including fresh fruit and a bottle of water she liberated from Lucy's kitchen - and wears her traveling outfit of slim jeans and a fitted T-shirt.

She waits on a lawn chair in front of the Cooper house, reading a book, looking around every few minutes for people she needs to talk to.

Maybe she thought to surprise him. Or maybe she was just curious to see who else lived in the Cooper household. Either way, Chloe pulls her Volkswagen Beetle up in front of the house. She checks her reflection quickly in the rear view mirror before smiling and stepping out.

As she walks towards the front door, she can't help but look around for that supposed space ship. If Clark is home, she's totally making him show it to her.

If he isn't? Well, she can totally have fun getting to know his friends at any rate.

There are rather a lot of people staying at Lucy's house.

She finds this mildly interesting.

Currently, she's dealing with it by sitting in the kitchen going through a very large basket of apples one fruit at a time.

Anyone visiting or residing at the Cooper household who isn't one of the select few Lucy considers family? Now's your chance to talk to her without getting eaten.

Clark is in a sickeningly good mood. There may be whistling. It's probably not because he's restocking the kitchen cupboards with the latest canned goods obtained in town earlier.

He may or may not tell you actually why, depending on who you are and how you ask.

[At Lucy's house, Eden and Tom clear the air about some issues. It goes badly for both of them.]

Tom slams the door as he strides into Lucy's house. He takes the stairs two at a time to get to the guest room. It occurs to him that he'll probably lose his fine, private room by the time he gets back. The thought aggravates him enough to start cursing under his breath.

But he wants to get (away) to Smallville. He grabs his coat, his cap, the small cache of money he managed to find. He's not sure what it can buy, having no idea about monetary denominations in this land, but a rat's always got other resources than the legitimate ones.

When he gets down to the first floor of the house, he lingers a moment to gulp down some fruit and the first bit of food he takes from the fridge.

That's where anyone would find him unless they're walking to Smallville themselves.
