Who: Walter Price, the residents of the Alesci household, and OPEN!!!
What: CATCH ALL PRE-INVASION
Where: Locke City -- specifically his new home, on the way to/from work/Agro's stable, etc!!
When: April 20th-28th, or thereabouts
CLOSED to Alesci house occupants, early 4/22
[ Walter is adjusting to his new living space, his new housemates, and... his new life, really. The first week was a little surreal, with his sudden shift back to the land of the healthy, but he's adjusting! And preparing for Danny's birthday. Since he wants the cake to be a surprise, he starts baking at ridiculous o'clock the day of, and by the time the cake is ready, he's exhausted. But by then he's determined to start Danny's day off perfectly, which means breakfast. He even found a tray for breakfast in bed.
Once he starts the eggs, he collapses into a chair, rationalizing a minute or two of eye rest. Which turns into several minutes of sleep. Which results in scorched eggs and a ton of smoke. If the smell doesn't wake anyone up, any smoke alarms in the kitchen will. ]
OPEN to anyone in Locke City
[ Elsewhere/while, Walter can be found throughout the city. His route to and from work has been altered and is a bit lengthier, which just gives him more opportunity to stop and chat. The horns on his head are a little attention-grabby, but he's used to so much worse, so covering them? Not happening.
He still visits Agro at the ranch regularly, and without a car, he's pretty dependent on public transportation. Tripping over you? Onto you? All extremely likely, especially on a cramped bus. ]

ALESCI HOUSE i was gonna tag this last night and then didn't
He practically flies out of bed (and probably would have, if he weren't in human form right now) and races through the house, hazy with smoke, to find the source of it.
He ends up in the kitchen, where there's a pan of eggs that are literally on fire and Walter draped over a chair.]
Walter!
no subject
It takes him a few seconds to realize what's going on, but he zips over to the kitchen, fire extinguisher in hand. It looks like Danny's already handling Walter, so uh. He's going to extinguish those eggs now.] What happened?
no subject
But not before Walter is jolted awake and sent right into panic mode. He dives at the stove and topples right over, legs tangled in the chair. He's still on the floor when the fire extinguisher takes care of business. ]
I --
[ That's not an answer, but. Ow. He needs some recovery time. ]
HELLO FRIENDS I AM BACK
He takes a few steps over to where Walter's laying on the floor and offers him a hand.]
You okay?
WELCOME BACK
Setting the fire extinguisher aside, he goes ahead and rummages around the kitchen for a first-aid kit, retrieving it from one of the far right drawers. He's not sure if Walter's got supernatural healing powers or not, but better to be safe than sorry.] Yeah, do you need any of this?
HI STRANGER
I'm -- fine, just a little... knock to the head. And...
[ The hand Danny has is slightly burnt. Looks like this wasn't the first accident. ]
Maybe some aloe?
no subject
Walter, what were you even doing? How did you burn yourself?
i am so sorry...
The burns look worse than what should've happened from the kitchen fire, but Stefan's not exactly in a place to judge. At least Walter's not bleeding anywhere.]
you are fiiiine
[ He's so red. Admitting mistakes in the kitchen is hard for him, and on top of that, today is supposed to be special. He's ruined that already. ]
That -- [ He nods at his hand post-treatment. ] That was the oven. Just an accident, when I was taking your -- um...
[ There's a cake on the counter. Covered up, of course. But this is not how he wanted this to go down. ]
no subject
[It's when he walks to the nearest bathroom to rummage through the medicine cupboard that he hears Walter's halting explanation.
He pokes his head back into the kitchen and finally spots the cake on the counter. Danny looks genuinely confused.
He walks over and gives Walter the aspirin.]
Is that...a cake? Why were you making cake?
no subject
To celebrate something, I'd guess. [He hands over the glass of water. There isn't any other logical reason for a giant cake, though Stefan's lived with people who stress baked at the drop of a hat. Walter didn't strike him as that type.] Were you guys going out tonight?
no subject
[ Walter just holds the glass of water and the aspirin, looking between Stefan and Danny. It... is the 22nd, isn't it? And that's the right day?? Is he so tired he mixed up the dates?
That would just be the cherry on top of this humiliation sundae.
After some brief deliberation, he just goes for it. ]
For your birthday, Danny.
no subject
[Danny freezes up and thinks it through. He pulls out his phone and checks the date on it. Sure enough, it's April 22nd.]
Oh my god, it's my birthday. I-I didn't even--I didn't even realize!
[For some reason he feels like he's been hit by a truck. He collapses into a chair across the table from Walter. He leans over on the table and holds his head in his hand.]
Holy crap.
no subject
Stefan had been joking. He hasn't meant it seriously, and-- and he's not the only one freaking out. Danny'd forgotten about it too?
Either they're both bad with dates, or the stress is getting to them. Stefan takes one look around. They're not gonna have breakfast here. Not when it still reeks of smoke.]
Happy birthday, man. [Stefan manages a smile, exposing his new fangs in the process.] You know, we could... we could go out now. My treat.
no subject
Out sounds good. After I clean up, of course.
[ Except... Danny looks like he's taking this all... not so well. Walter quickly takes his aspirin, scoots closer to Danny and puts a hand on his shoulder. ]
Hey, are you all right?
