Give me a sense of wonder
WHO: Calvin and OPEN
WHERE: Outside the MAC, then at the Botanical Garden, then the Pie Hole.
WHEN: The day of Tuesday the 11th.
WARNINGS: None
SUMMARY: It’s summer! That means it’s time for Calvin to goof off and get in trouble all over the City.
FORMAT: Prose with multiple setups- specify which one is being used in the subject line of your reply!
A. Outside the M.A.C. (early afternoon)
Realistically, a child as young as Calvin really, really, really shouldn’t spend as much time running around the City unsupervised as he routinely does. However, a number of factors- including having superpowers, being a long-time resident of the City, and just not caring about practicality or safety- have led to Calvin spending his summer day zooming about alone, getting in trouble.
After a productive morning sleeping in, Calvin has flown to the front of the M.A.C. to once again try his hand at the excitement and reward of the business world. He is on the street just outside the front entrance, sitting on a red plastic bucket behind an overturned cardboard box serving as an improvised sales counter. Written on the front in sloppy black marker is the product and the price:
“GREAT IDEAS – 25 CENTS”
There is nothing that could possibly go wrong here at all ever.
B. Botanical Garden (later afternoon)
One of Calvin’s least favourite things about the City, other than being separated from Hobbes and his parents, is that it’s such a city. There’s concrete and pollution and too many people, and the parks always end up being attacked by monsters or robots for some reason.
As an alternative, Calvin is now visiting the Botanical Garden in the Bronx. It's quieter here. There's more solitude. Many of the plants and displays are beautiful. The jerks in the labs wouldn't let him inside to poke at their experiments, unfortunately, but it's still a great place. When he's surrounded by plants and cool air, Calvin can close his eyes for a moment and pretend he's back in the woods with Hobbes. When he opens them again, he might still be alone and in the City, but he's also smiling more.
C. Pie Hole (evening)
Now that Calvin is once again allowed within the Pie Hole’s hallowed halls, he is celebrating by absolutely stuffing his face. The Porter’s two hundred dollar weekly stipend might not be much for an adult, but for Calvin it has resulted in him having more disposable income than a six-year-old should ever be able to waste on pie.
At least Calvin is being a model customer right now. He’s not hurling any pie or pretending to be a Skrull or calling himself ‘Nivlac.’ Calvin is really grateful for Ned letting him back into the fold, and is trying to be on his best behaviour for the moment.
His table manners are still appalling, though.
