Who: June and YOU!
When: Day 28
Where: the trailer park, the medical tent, Around
What: Mom has arrived! Come say hello. Maybe bring one of those molded jello trays. Everyone loves those.

The last thing June was expecting when wandering into a carnival she hadn’t heard was coming to town was to get tricked into some kind of arcane contract by a mysterious being, but then, last week she’d been kidnapped in the trunk of a transforming alien sports car, so these days, she doesn’t really know what to expect. She is pretty annoyed about the part where she’d been manipulated into it, and if it weren’t for the promise that she’d be returned home afterward...well, she doesn’t know how solid that guarantee really is, but she doesn’t have much choice but to trust the Ringmaster right now. It’s not that June is opposed to a little adventure now and then, but she has responsibilities. Jack doesn’t exactly have a dad anymore, and while the Autobots have proven to be dedicated guardians, he still needs his mother. That’s what June’s telling herself, and it’s true — but if she were honest, the prospect of going an entire year without seeing her only son is...a little bit of a difficult one.

She’ll make do while she’s here, though, and they’re apparently in need of medical staff, and that’s something she can do. As long as she’s able to help people, keep busy, she’ll be alright. She hopes the people around here are at least a little less...eccentric than the Ringmaster seems to be.

June is doing her best to settle into her trailer — she doesn’t have much with her, but she’s trying to at least make it feel cozy. Mostly so far it feels more...dorm-y, which simultaneously makes her feel both younger and older than her actual age. Hopefully in the near future she'll have more of a chance to collect some decor, plant some flowers, make this place feel a little more homey -- but for now, it'll do. Well, the mailbox is a little crooked, but she can fix that.

"Home sweet home," she sighs wryly, righting the mailbox and stepping back to have a look at her trailer, just to take it all in. It's a lot to take in. After a moment, the mailbox lists to the side again with a squeak.

Ah, well.

medical tent
Seeing as this is where she'll be working, June might as well familiarize herself with the medical facilities. Well...what facilities they have to speak of, anyway. She wasn't exactly expecting a fully-outfitted emergency ward, but she was sort of envisioning something more than...a tent. Well, she'll make do -- she always does, and she's got enough experience to make up for it.

She hasn't met the doctor yet -- West, she's pretty sure his name is -- but she's glad there is a doctor on staff, at least. (Later, when she finally meets him, she will retract that statement.) He's got a little office partitioned off in here, and while June is ordinarily the 'respect other people's privacy' type, she is definitely having a little look around, just to see what they've got to work with.

June hasn't met any of the other staff yet either, and she isn't exactly set up to work, but hey, she's still in her scrubs, and if anyone comes in needing treatment, she'll do her best to help them.

It just so happens that Hinawa is delivering food to some of the trailers and it's entirely likely there's jello involved. She stops when shes the mailbox lean to the side.

"Oh, that's a shame," Says the woman who looks mostly normal except for the hooves and ram horns. "But I'm sure one of the repairfolk would be happy to take a look at it for you!"

Jello would be welcome right now. June doesn't even really like jello -- too much time spent in hospitals -- but it'd be a wonderful taste of normalcy. She smiles at Hinawa a little sheepishly.

"I suppose I'd be better off leaving it to someone else. I'm just so used to fixing things around the house myself." She extends a hand. "I'm June, by the way. I guess we're neighbors now?"

[sunflowerfields]

"I'm Hinawa, I work in the kitchens." She reciprocates, and it's much clearer up close that her arms are covered in a soft white fur instead of the usual hair. "We're all a little close together back here, as you can see. But we behave ourselves most of the time!"

[milkruns]

June tries not to stare too much, it's not exactly polite, but she's still getting used to everyone's odd appearances here -- some a little more than others. No one has really explained to her yet that this happens to everyone at the carnival. She lets out a wry little laugh.

"Well, it's nice to know I've moved into a nice neighborhood, at least. It's a pleasure to meet you, Hinawa." She tucks a piece of hair behind her ear, starts to speak, then stops with a little puff of breath. "I was just about to ask you where you're from, but I guess that question doesn't exactly make sense here, does it?"

[sunflowerfields]

It's fine, your neighbor is a cow, that's all.

"Well, we all come from somewhere!" She smiles. "I don't think it's a silly question at all. I'm from a little town called Tazmily. It's way out in the middle of nowhere!"

[milkruns]

"Tazmily? That sounds cozy." June smiles at that. "I'm from a town called Jasper -- it's kind of out in the middle of nowhere, too. Nothing but open desert for miles."

[sunflowerfields]

"Oh, it's just lovely," Hinawa briefly gets a faraway look in her eyes. "I can't say I've ever seen a desert before. Tazmily's located on an island... and we don't stray too far from the village."
