paradisalost | five shots and a family

[have a very grumpy looking Teresa walking in... in a nightgown that shows far too much leg for her liking. Oh, and her hair is black and her eyes are brown. GO FIGURE.]

[He was knocking back the rest of his glass of Romanee Conti, hoping that maybe it was his imagination. What the hell was going on.

And as he brings his head back forward, HEL-LO~ He raises an eyebrow at this new visitor. Why do you look eerily familiar.]

[she places a hand on her hip]

Not only am I displaced, but I'm also human. This isn't good.

[Oh. OH.

Well this is a new look.]

And your whole appearance has changed, essentially. [gets up and finally realizes that Tim is not...well, Tim-like anymore, but a canary wthhhhhhhhh]

This has happened before. We were brought to a modern city, and everyone lost their powers.

[AND SHE'S LOST HER BABY 8| Clare, not her sword]

I need to find Clare.

Ah.

[walks past her and out the door, stopping to look around] I'll take this side of the house. [walks off, oh clare~ where art thou~]

[nods. Then heads off in the other direction!

It's cold in this house :( She should have put pants on...]

[If he's paying attention, he can probably hear frantic footsteps searching around the rooms of the house. This is a new place, which isn't bothersome by itself, but Teresa isn't immediately visible, and that is D: She runs past the room he's in at first, before doubling back and going in. She's wringing her hands]

[He was up and out of the chair, staring in disbelief at canary!Tim now when he hears the footsteps. He started reaching for Judgment before Clare made herself known. Judgment — who isn't as pretty anymore sob — can chill on the table with canary!Tim, for now.]

Clare. [walks over and kneels in front of her] Looking for Teresa?

[She doesn't even really bat an eyelash at any of that, she's just...Too busy being upset. Your a friend of Allen's and probably Teresa's by extension now, so she's not really afraid, but she's a little uneasy. Where did she go? When he asks her that question, she'll nod enthusiastically and look a bit hopeful. Going to help her look?]

[Cross straightens up and walks around her to the doorway, looking both ways. Nice house.]

Let's go look for Teresa, little one.

[She's happy to follow after him, and she'll stick very very close. Just, you know, in case he disappears too]

[He makes sure she's close and continues checking the rooms of the house. Gotdamn, this place is swanky. Soon enough they make their way back to the office, having only checked half of the house. He puts his hands on his hips and looks at Clare.]

Which way did you come from before you found me?

[She'll point up towards the ceiling. She was on the second floor where all the nice bedrooms are located. She'll take a cautious step or two towards the stairs before pausing. You have to follow]

[He follows her finger up to the ceiling, looking as far past the railing as he can see. Then he looks down at her and takes a step.] Well, lead the way. I'm right behind you.

[She'll stall for a minute, before nodding and heading up the staircase. She's going slowly to keep close, but she's pretty sure of where she's going this time at least]

[He keeps up behind her — well, being 6'4" and next to a, what, under 5' young girl? makes it easy to do so — and looks in the opposite direction, looking out for Teresa's blond hair. Oh Teresa~]

[She'll push open the door of her room once she reaches it, just so he knows where it is, but she sulks heavily. It's still empty. No Teresa ;; Where should they go now?]

[The decor of the room definitely gave Clare's room away. He put a hand on her head before turning and looking in some other rooms. Guest room, guest room, ALLEN'S ROOM HEEEEEEEEY, some other room. Now where was the master...]

She may be outside.

[The hand on her head distinctly reminds her of Teresa, and she calms considerably. Outside? She doesn't know why she would be, but that's a good a plan as any! So she'll point back down the way they came. Let's go!]

[Oh hey, the master! Takes a peek in there — nope, nothing — before returning to Clare and going downstairs with her to head outside.]
