In Metropolis....

Eden McCain has a table to herself at a coffee shop - notebook papers are spread over it with titles like 'Main Character' and 'Subplot 1'. The great post-apocalyptic novel isn't going to get written any other way! She felt like dressing like a cliche artist - and is wearing a navy blue beret.

Tom Therin is whistling cheerfully to himself as he walks down the street, idly looking for pockets to pick.


On the Cooper farm....

Bridgette Dubois has a stuffed pony, a lion, and a unicorn in a semi-circle on the lawn to the Cooper house. "Whoever wants me to sing Lion King at the talent show, say aye!"

The stuffed animals are silent, but Bridgette - after checking on Marie, who claps her hands in agreement an area to her left - nods as if they actually spoke. "All right - how about Sound of Music?"

Oliver Wycliffe, dressed in white and looking thoughtful, is riding his stallion Beauregard down the road to the farm.

Dana, an extremely tired-looking young woman in ratty jeans and a T-shirt, is waiting nervously in front of the hospital, gnawing on her lip.

A grunt of agreement follows.

Oliver takes another moment to collect his thoughts. "We are fortunate that he was so cooperative."

Others might not be.

"Yeah," Mel agrees. "Well, he was just protecting a friend."

"He was," he agrees blandly.

"Any society must have a system of justice," he subject-changes.

"My experience is that it's never actually justice," Mel remarks bluntly.

"I'll admit you know more than myself of building a society from the ground up," Oliver replies, for the sake of a fair argument.

"Not all who commit crimes will return. If one gets caught, where shall he be put?"
