The quiet little town of Murchoon is home to no one of any particular note. It's only a little south of Monsters' Cove, an offshoot island full of nasty creatures that few dare to tread at. And, just north of the Cove is the laboratory of one Doctor Gregory Hurtzfield. His home is guarded quite well by his various inventions, but is now standing empty, as its last occupant, the creation and daughter of the Doctor, has left it for Murchoon.
Connie took the long way around the Cove-while she's confident in her body's durability, there's no reason to be foolish and risk anything at this moment. She approaches Murchoon from the north, seeing the walls that the town has long since spilled out from and the buildings outside it. As she nears the first of the people, she takes a deep breath-not something she actually needs to do, but a habit she picked up from her father. And, her nerves somewhat settled, she slithers ahead. "Hello there!" she calls to the first people she sees, a middle-aged man talking to a much younger man about a job.
The two stop their talking, eyeing the newcomer with suspicion. She doesn't look... Well, like anything they've seen before at all. While she is giving a jaunty wave with a friendly smile, she's also too different for them to be at ease. The younger man steps forward, in between the middle-aged man and the newcomer. "What business have you here?" he asks.
"I'm just trying to find my dad-have you seen him? Tall man, glasses, salt and pepper hair and beard that he REALLY should trim and get in better shape," Connie replies.
He shakes his head. "No. No one like that."
Connie's smile falters a little, and the man tenses. But she just hangs her head slightly, with a forlorn "Okay." But she picks her head and smile back up, and says "Thank you, though. Have a nice day!" she tells them before moving further south into Murchoon.
When she's passed far enough to be out of earshot, the middle-aged man asks a simple question. "The fuck just happened?"
