"We should probably go to the park first, so we can eat and lighten our load," Eir reasoned after he helped his twin heft the loaded ice chest onto the their bike. "And then after we've had our fill of screaming children and quacking ducks we can take a turn around town, see if there's anything interesting going on, or maybe meet new people we can ask to play monopoly. The game's more interesting with more people." He smiled. By 'interesting' he meant that there were more people to crush before he and his sister met head-on and were forced into their inevitable stalemates. Or that they could play team monopoly.

The two got on and pushed off, heading towards the park by the lake. They passed a couple walking families on the road, and a few people biking, like them, and Eir thought back to what his sister had brought up. Was it Earth Day? But he thought that was in late April, little less than two months away.

"A shame we didn't bring our bathing suits," Eir sighed. "We could have gone for a dip." As far as water quality went their tiny town's was exceptional, and a small portion of the lake was open for swimming for certain hours every week so long as no one littered. And generally, people kept their lake and the luscious green expanse next to it clean.

They arrived, dismounted, and guided the bike through the grass to a location near the water, a little off to where others were enjoying the breeze and sun. Unpacking the contents of the chest while his sister lay the tandem down gently, he first spread the blankets, then began laying out the food they'd brought with them: the water bottles; the wrapped sandwiches; the containers of sliced fruit; and the goods they'd just bought from the grocery store, which included the candy and sliced steak Eir had bought to add to his sandwiches. Tugging their bike just a little closer to them, he sat and patted the towel next to him. "Come, sit, sister." He twisted the top off his water bottle and took a deep draught. "Our feast awaits." Eir had a healthy appetite, and after the biking trip he was quite sure he'd burned off the sandwich he'd eaten earlier and was quite ready for another.

Jo had just nodded at the two, it's not like she'd expected answers right away, well maybe she had. She didn't know, her mind was still fuzzy from having a late, but freaking awesome, time that night. "Quiet." She said in response to the boy and walked over to the window to look out at the world. She wondered what her real friends were doing, probably still in bed. Or taking advantage of the no power thing and stealing from others. Something that wouldn't surprise her, and frankly, something she'd rather be doing with them. "So kid, you got any answers on what the heck is goin' on? Sorta why I followed Trish. Just lookin' for answers. Ya got any?"

Max walked over to stand next to Jo so he was looking out the window, too. "I don't, but to be honest, it's a little freaky if you know what I mean. Normal power failures don't knock out cars and phones and stuff." He watched the street and his eyes floated to a few people arguing. He hoped this power problem was resolved soon. People were on-edge, and who knew how long it would be before violence started breaking out. People would start over-reacting and stealing stuff and possibly hurting each other. "I was thinking about finding the power plant a little later. It'll probably be when Tony's done with his study session. Maybe you should come. We might find some sort of answers there."

Cars weren't working either? Interesting. Joanna shrugged. "Maybe I will. Don't know. Kinda ready to fly this coop, Trish probably would prefer that anyway." Joanna said with a laugh as she turned to look into the boys house. It was so quiet, which she guessed was due to the lack of electricity. The girl left the window and peeked into the room Trish was in. She wagged her fingers at the girl in goodbye. "Don't really see the point of hanging around unless someone here as answers or suggestions." True, the box Max just gave one, but did she want to walk all the way down to the power plant? Besides, what would they do when they got there? Snap their fingers like Mary Poppins and all would be well? Unlikely.

Max nodded to Jo. "Whatever you want to do." He watched from the window as Trisha stormed out of the kitchen. He was laughing inside. You're quite the teacher, aren't you Tony? He half expected his adopted brother to follow Trisha out of the kitchen, but he didn't. Max got the feeling this might happen a little more than it should. Something made him step in front of Trisha before she could leave the house. For some reason, he wanted her to come with him to the power plant. "Look, you seem like you might want to cool down a little. I'm going to head down to the power plant to see if they can tell what's happening. You're welcome to come." He jerked his head toward the door for emphasis, and glanced at Jo. "It's up to you though," he added, and walked away so he wasn't blocking the door.

Joanna would have popped that boy in the mouth had he stepped in front of her as she was trying to leave. She gave props to Trisha for not doing so herself, especially with how frustrated the girl seemed. She wasn't sure the girl wanted to head to a power plant to 'cool down.' Joanna could think of a few ways to help her loosen up, but the girl, being so into school and all, she wasn't sure she'd take fun in Joanna's type of fun though. Can't judge a book by it's cover though, right? "Yeah, no need to get all huffy and puffy and go blow a house down or something. It's just studying. Blow it off, it's what I do. I'll head with you guys, unless of course, you don't want me to Trish-A. I'm just as well heading home. Just thought I'd tag along, maybe get to know ya a little better." She said, giving a light punch in the girl's arm. This was her being friendly, but Trisha may not see it that way.

Max watched as Jo and Trisha both agreed to go with him. He grabbed his bad and slung it over his shoulder. He addressed Trisha. "I have no idea where your house is, but I don't have to be anywhere anytime soon, so it's cool with me." He looked at Joanna before he opened the door and stepped outside into the yard. There were a few people out and about, talking in hushed voices or arguing with each other. Nobody seemed at peace. Max turned around and looked back at Trisha. "Lead the way," he said, motioning in front of him for her to take the lead to her place. Why she would want a guitar was something he didn't know, but he wasn't a big fan of music.

Trisha nodded at Max as he told her to lead the way. She wasn't sure Joanna would be up for a long trek back to their neighborhood, but then again if she was up for going to the power plant, what was another half a mile? As Trisha led the way back to her house, she saw adults, teens and kids acting rather strangely. Some of them looked suspicious of anyone going near them and others just seemed oblivious. Trisha didn't understand it, but that was okay. She didn't care. After a little while, the group made their way to Trisha's house. Her parents were probably still home so she snuck in the back. She made Joanna and Max wait outside on the front lawn as she opened her unlocked window and crawled inside. Her door was open to the hall but thankfully no one walked back. The girl snatched up her guitar from it's stand and jumped back out the window. Large part of the guitar pressed against her back and the neck pointed at an angled toward the earth, Trisha closed her window and headed back out to Max and Joanna, "Ready," she said once there.

"Mmm, we didn't think far enough ahead. Oh well!" She guided the bike over next to the blankets, careful not to destroy any wildflowers where she put the bike down. As it was, it would only leave a little indent on the grass, until it sprang back upright. "We can always dip our feet and walk around on the shore!" Moving to sit next to Eir, she uncapped one of the bottles and drank just a few gulps, to sate her thirst from biking. Then she reached for a sandwich, biting into it delicately, avoiding spurting tomato juice all over her white shirt.

"I wonder, brother, if the blackout lasts, will they cancel school? After all, most of the lectures our teachers use, not to mention the attendance system, are on computers. There's really not much that can be done, as our classes are structured now, without power." She frowned, contemplating the matter. The whole problem was a little idiotic - one would think that teachers could find a way to complete a lesson without the aid of technology. But alas, society had grown reliant. Galdur wondered, indulging in a fantasy, of what would happen if the power outage was sustained. Or if it reached across the globe. Ridiculous, silly, and impossible, but a curious thought. Good material for a story, perhaps.

Finishing the sandwich a short while later, she carefully collected any stray crumbs in the plastic wrap and rolled it up into a small ball. A more athletic person would throw it at a nearby trashcan and test their skills - hoping to land a success. Galdur was no such person, and so set it beside her on the blanket as she lowered herself into a half-laying position, bracing herself on her elbows. The breeze blew across the lake, floating up the hillside and ruffling the grass. It was cool and soft, not brisk nor biting. The few clouds in the sky were fluffy and small, sliding lazily across the sky. Truly, the perfect day to be 'coerced' into going outside.

Galdur was content to sit and enjoy the weather, maybe even take a nap in the grass under the sun - hopefully she wouldn't burn - and enjoy their day out. And maybe they could find some monopoly partners. They never stayed long - rarely longer than a single game - because Eir and Galdur were thorough and merciless. And usually teamed up against anyone else even if it wasn't a game of team monopoly. Really, they should be competing for money, the way they played. But alas, no one would bet against them anyway. She laughed at the idea, of thinking that people played monopoly for a living. Wouldn't that be a sight?

Max waited outside Trisha's house when she went inside to get her guitar. He scanned his surroundings, noting how eerily guiet everything seemed. It seemed extremely spooky to him, and he felt another chill run down his spine. He wondered what things would be like once they got downtown. He hoped they could find some answers at the power plant, but he had a feeling he knew what they would find. This wasn't normal. He began to get the feeling that this was something much bigger than just a power outage. He wondered if maybe it spanned the world, or just their town, or maybe their country. When Trisha returned, Max grinned sheepishly and looked at his shoes, slightly kicking the ground. "You guys aren't going to like this, but I actually have no idea where exactly the power plant is, which is really bad planning, I know. Do either of you know where it is?" he asked, glancing to his two companions hopefully.
