46th Inning

[Action 1: For 1451 Mitchell

When the ladies of the household wake up - that is, everyone who isn't Scout - will awake to a spotless house, a mowed lawn, a clean car and a breakfast that's started on just in time for the family to join. One might ask how Scout could get all these chores done so quickly, but his energy knows no bounds. Sure, his not!family knows this by now, but Scout is rather adept at avoiding all chores like the plague every other day of the year. Something is up, ladies.

Have I mentioned Scout has no idea how to cook? Because he doesn't. That doesn't mean he's not going to try.]

Siddown, ladies, I got it covered today!

[Action 2: For the rest of Mayfield's ladies

That energy just doesn't stop there. Are you of the female persuasion? Are you in need of help in any way? Maybe you need help carrying groceries. Maybe your cat's caught in a tree. Maybe you just look like you have a nasty headache and could use a back massage! Whatever it is, Scout is on the case. Just come up with a scenario and Scout has no choice to be right there for you.]

[....yeah she's kind of noticed. She'll sit at the table though.]

The stoves on fire.

Wh--

[Before he can even finish that thought, he sees this, throws open the door and starts waving the smoke away with a dish towel. The oven's not on fire, just the casserole that was going to be tonight's dinner.]

Aw, geez! Not again!

[Coincidentally, Tsubasa has a cat that is currently stuck up in a rather high tree! Poor thing got scared by the sound of a noisy truck.]

Ah, please come down!

[Shana is letting you carrying an odd metal object draped in green cloth. What do, Scoutie?]

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Hey there, short stuff! Need a hand?

[Scout, making friends wherever he goes. Well, he said it pleasantly enough, anyway.]

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

[SUDDENLY! Scout leaps over Tsubasa's head, and somehow, regards to gravity be damned, he jumps *again* without landing on anything first. This ends up with him in the tree, on the branch with the cat. He throws a wink and a thumbs up down to Tsubasa.]

Don't worry, I'm on it!

[Or maybe a certain scientific investigator could use some company that's not involved in all the drama that's been going on in her life?

Right now, she's sitting in the park, slumped on a park bench with her eyes closed as she's enjoying the nice weather. Even so, there's a bit of a crease in her brow.]

[Shiki doesn't particularly care about whether or not anyone does the chores in the house but this is... different...]

What are you doing?

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

Sure thing! Just hold this for a while!

[She hands him the DEFINITELY NOT A SWORD. Sword.]

[iinchoucat.livejournal.com]

[Tsubasa quickly ducks when she sees him leaping over her and only looks up again when he calls down to her.]

S...Scout-san? What are you doing here?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

[Have a very chipper Scout greeting!]

Ema! What's up? Where ya been hidin' lately?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Ya got it! [He'll take it from her.] Geez, what is this thing?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Happy Mother's Day! I'm makin'… Well a little bit 'a everythin', but breakfast should be done soon.

[Scout has no idea how to cook. The food looks kind of scary.]

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

I'm here ta help! This yer cat? Awright kitty, hold still…

[He'll try to pick the cat up, hoping it won't run away.]

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

[Watching. This is kinda amusing.]

[iinchoucat.livejournal.com]

[The cat might squirm in Scout's arms a little, maybe attempt a scratch or two. It's still very shaken up.]

Ah, yes. Be careful, he's not good around new people!

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

[He takes it out, plops it on the stove top, and stares at the smoldering pile. Then he turns to Ai.]

Ya didn't like casserole anyway, right? Right. So what do ya like?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Hey, hey! Relax, pally, I'm here ta save ya! [Apparently he even calls cats that.

He jumps down, holding the cat out a bit from himself. He then passe it over to Tsubasa.]

There ya are.

[ryougi]

Mother's Day... ah, right, there's a holiday like that, isn't there. [She's never been one to care about food but this does look rather. Questionable.]

You sure you know what you're doing?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Nope! But I can't help it. I never even thought twice about cookin' before, so my guess? Town is up ta somethin' again. Kinda like last year.

[ryougi]

Yeah? And what happened last year?

[im-the-cute-one.livejournal.com]

[Miu is just minding her own business, watching people and walking around. See, Scout, the situation doesn't happen to Miu. She decides the situation. She decides to watch Scout for a moment.]

Are you a drone?

[iinchoucat.livejournal.com]

[She takes her cat and cradles the poor thing, quietly cooing it.]

Thank you very much Scout-san. How did you even know I was here?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Girls got ta control guys, got to tell 'em to do whatever they wanted. But then it came back around on Father's Day.

So! Can I get ya anythin'?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

[He stops. He never hears that!]

Huh? No freakin' way!
