Action | Locked to 1249 Williams Road:

[ Sorry, household, if you're awoken by yet again by Niou's swearing. This time is different than the others, though! Instead of swearing in anger over something, he's swearing in joy! ... It might be hard to tell the difference, though. If you go to check on him in the living room, you'll find him laying on the floor holding a distraught looking cat to his chest. ]




Phone:

Yanno, these apology packages that Mayfield sends out after they do crazy shit to us are almost worth the trouble we're put through.

Action: Outside 1249 Williams Road

[ Niou steps out the front door just to trip over a package lying there. He trips, letting out a couple of swear words, and looks around quickly to see if anyone saw him. ]

Who the fuck-

[ He stops his angry question when he actually looks down to see what he tripped over. It's a package, and the shape of it is very, very familiar. He bends down to pick it up, turning it over in his hands. Could this be...? Tearing off the paper, he discovers that yes, it is! It's his tennis racket.

Seconds later, he's heading down the sidewalk and towards the rec center. If he remembers correctly, they have tennis courts. ]



Action: Rec center tennis courts

[ The dull sounds of tennis balls thumping against a racket and the courts are accompanied by the occasional grunt. Niou is serving balls hard over the net. He's easily fallen into a familiar rhythm, and it might take a bit to catch his attention as he's in the zone. ]
