saveourearth | Happy Mother's Day! [Mingle]

Date: 31st of March
Characters: OPEN

It is Mother's Day, the temperatures are summery (the forecast promises a high of 19 degree), the sun is shining almost relentlessly, birds are singing, a mild sea breeze blows...

And all across the echo boundary, people are waking up on this beautiful Sunday. Probably an hour later than normal, unless they have to go to work, since daylight savings happened. Ew. They open their eyes, and it smells of flowers and tea and baked beans...

And something sits over their lap. Or butt, or hip, if they aren't back sleepers.

This something turns out to be a tray on which sit:

a hot cup of tea, a bowl of baked beans, a single slice of white toast and one burnt fried egg
an empty card
some cheap chocolate
a bouquet of flowers complete with a balloon reading Happy Mother's Day
either one of those three gift sets OR a shitty parfume.

Don't sit up too quickly in shock, the tea is really quite hot.

Now, whom does this happen to?

Well. Literally everyone who is more or less human. And yes, that includes three day old babies, eighty year old men, teenage boys, people in hospitals... everyone, really. And among the scents of flowers, food and beauty products, those with the right abilities will be able to scent someone familiar.

Who eats baked beans for breakfast?

[Walter has not had a pleasant night. While it was true he was no longer as attached to a normal circadian rhythm as he'd once been, he had fallen asleep at one point. As was more the case than not, lately, there'd been nightmares.

This morning is not a pleasant contrast.

Thus, the first noise in the flat occurring after 6 AM is a tremendous CRASH.]

What in the world IS this?

[The webcam feed does not clarify much, and that's only partially because the items from the tray are now on the floor...]

Later in the Day:

Walter is not heading outside today. However, if people want to meet him, the company would be much appreciated.

It's Sunday, and one of the few days in the year that both Janice and Mary Ann sleep in. Rather pointedly.

After all they want to give the kids plenty of time to prepare for them waking up.

...Though they might sleep very lightly once the sun has risen. It's just the instinct of being awake in case someone burns down the house trying to fry an egg. Still, both women are still more or less asleep at this point in the morning, when they would normally already be up and about.
