bravabarberAction: 2238 Stephens Road and around
(There's a package with Figaro's name on it on the doorstep. Confused enough by the sudden revival of the town (he's pretty much convinced that it's sorcery), he opens the parcel. Housemates and nearby neighbors will hear his high C of joy and triumph ring out throughout the house as he dances around his garden. He's hugging a pair of scissors to his chest as he sings out the following verse:)
Ah, bravo Figaro!
Bravo, bravissimo!
Fortunatissimo per verità!
Action: Barbershop
(And not too soon, for after he's regained his barber kit from home he gets an angry call demanding his presence at the local barbershop. Today there's a new barber in town Mayfield! And he'll happily sing and chat to you as he gives you the latest hairdo to make you look your best!
...too bad the latest hairdo for him is in the 18th century style, so don't be too upset if men end up with something likethis. Feel free to rant, rage and chase Figaro up and down Mayfield if you want.
He'll also happily greet his new colleagues at work!)
Action: Grocery store
(Figaro is searching for some ingredients to bake some Spanish Christmas cookies. People around will hear him hum and sing snatches of Spanish/Italian Christmas carols as he does so. Or you may catch him looking a bit annoyed as he searches for illusive pig lard. Yes, pig lard.)

Date: 2011-12-12 11:47 am (UTC)...is that a good song? [It sure sounds happier than when he showed up.]
no subject
Date: 2011-12-13 01:30 am (UTC)I'm not singing, but I very well might just bu-
(After he finally notices her new appearance, he just freezes. After a five seconds of staring, he suddenly runs towards her, concerned.)
Maria, what happened to you!!?? Is this some skin disease? Come come, I must go prepare the leeches, and we'll get you fixed up.
no subject
Date: 2011-12-13 03:43 am (UTC)No... [She takes a step back.] I am the same as Sanguinius. This is my normal appearance.
no subject
Date: 2011-12-13 03:51 am (UTC)I am afraid I do not know what or who is...Sanguinius. But are you sure you are well? I can always arrange something for you.
no subject
Date: 2011-12-13 03:54 am (UTC)I do not need any leeches. [And she has no idea how they are involved in medical practice. Though she might eat them.]
no subject
Date: 2011-12-13 02:10 pm (UTC)And the leeches are for your health. Otherwise, how will we get all that infected blood out of you? Yes, the treatment may hurt, but it is good for you in the long run.

Date: 2011-12-20 11:57 pm (UTC)Seeing as I've just gotten back my scissors...would you like a haircut? I'm Seville's finest, and I can give you a do that would have the ragazzi swooning over you. For free, of course.
(There is a slightly manic gleam in his eyes as he experimentally snips the air around him. He is either very passionate on his work, or a slight lunatic. Take your pick Naal.)
Grocery Store
Date: 2011-12-12 04:08 pm (UTC)Excuse me, sir? Are you alright?
no subject
Date: 2011-12-13 12:31 am (UTC)Yes, I am fine. The only thing that is not fine is that there is no pig lard sold here. I do not understand; this whole town is supposed to be the future, but they do not stock basic groceries! What is the world coming to?
no subject
Date: 2011-12-13 01:41 am (UTC)I can't say I've ever heard of anyone using that for cooking, but they might have some ordinary lard.
no subject
Date: 2011-12-13 01:53 am (UTC)(He sounds rather cross and throws his arm out dramatically.)
You can't just use ANY lard! They're not called mantecados for no reason! It is the pig lard that gives it its flavor! To pick anything else would be an insult to any Spaniard, and to the recipe itself!
(He's going to ramble and rant in a weird misture of Italian and Spanish now. Don't worry, he's not mad at you, just mad at the town.)
no subject
Date: 2011-12-13 01:59 am (UTC)I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cause offence. Why not try the butcher's?
no subject
Date: 2011-12-13 03:39 am (UTC)But I suppose I will have to try the butcher's then. Thank you signore for your help. I am still getting used to this town and its strange names; I assure you that normally, I am not this clueless.
no subject
Date: 2011-12-13 03:56 am (UTC)I really hope you find your pig's lard at the butcher's shop.
no subject
Date: 2011-12-13 02:07 pm (UTC)Should you happen to be around my home, feel free to knock! I will happily sell you some; at a cheaper price of course, for your assistance, but don't tell anyone else!
(He whispers the last sentence conspiratorially. The sneaky businessman in Figaro recognises a gold mine when he sees one!)
no subject
Date: 2011-12-13 06:11 pm (UTC)I'll definitely remember that, it's very kind of you. Thank you.

Date: 2011-12-12 06:05 pm (UTC)Crowe speaks fluent Italian as well as English, so this is relevant to his interests. He walks over to see a guy clutching scissors.
What.
have a gawking paperboy, Figaro.]
no subject
Date: 2011-12-13 12:33 am (UTC)Buon Giorno! It's a wonderful day, isn't it?
no subject
Date: 2011-12-13 04:16 am (UTC)Ah, buon giorno, sir. I suppose it is. Not often you hear someone so happy in this town, I have to admit.
no subject
Date: 2011-12-13 02:00 pm (UTC)(He displays the items proudly. There's a pair of scissors, a comb, a razor, a brush, a mirror, and some other items in there that any barber would have back in the 18th century.)
no subject
Date: 2011-12-14 04:58 pm (UTC)O-Oh, those are very nice, sir. Do you work as a barber here in Mayfield, too?
no subject
Date: 2011-12-15 03:49 pm (UTC)(Finally, someone who appreciates his scissors!)
Now that I have my barber kit, I suppose that is a sign that the town has finally recognized my skills and given me the job. Though the Barber of Mayfield will never have the same ring as El barbero de Sevilla!
(Sorry Crowe, he oscillates between Italian and Spanish, due to him being a Spanish character in an Italian opera.)
no subject
Date: 2011-12-15 04:42 pm (UTC)But he stares now, blinking in surprise. Did he just say... and he's singing operatically, and...]
El barbero de Sevilla... A-Ah, well, that's great! Mayfield's easier to deal with when you have your things from home.
no subject
Date: 2011-12-16 04:29 pm (UTC)(Figaro makes his trademark sweeping bow.)
I am Figaro, Il barbiere di Siviglia. A pleasure to make your acquaintance.
no subject
Date: 2011-12-16 08:59 pm (UTC)Crowe switches to Italian now, which might be easier on Figaro.] My name's Calleo Crowe. You, ah... Have you been in town long, sir?
no subject
Date: 2011-12-17 05:09 am (UTC)Ah, you are Italian then! Wonderful!! Which part of Italy are you from? And I have been here for about a month.
I do apologize for my Italian though, I do not speak the language well.
((OOC: Figaro's language is a bit complicated. He speaks in Italian and Spanish, but he thinks he's speaking ONLY in Spanish. He cannot speak Italian that well (or so he thinks), but he can understand it.))
Crowe is probably the only person in town who can keep up with him. XD
Date: 2011-12-18 06:04 am (UTC)Spanish, then? I could always help you with your Italian. Ah, I spent part of my time growing up in Italy - Milan - but I was born in Ireland.
That makes Figaro's day!
Date: 2011-12-18 08:00 am (UTC)Hallelujah, finally! Someone who can speak Spanish! I like you already, signore Calleo!
You certainly have an interesting life story. Were you part of a travelling band?
no subject
Date: 2011-12-19 08:28 pm (UTC)Ah, no, my parents moved a lot, due to work. So I've lived in a few countries and visited most of western Europe.

Date: 2011-12-21 01:30 pm (UTC)Antiques? Yet another contraption that appears in the future.
(Figaro shakes his head, slightly annoyed.)
It is very inconsiderate of our captors to kidnap me; not only am I abducted from my lovely Seville, I have become nothing short of the village idiot. All these new terms and objects drive me crazy.
(He throws his hand up in the arm, frustrated.)
no subject
Date: 2011-12-21 08:54 pm (UTC)Ah, well, see, I come from the year 2010, so this is the past to me. Um, what year are you from?
no subject
Date: 2011-12-22 01:13 pm (UTC)(He shrugs, looking slightly unhappy.)
As you can guess, it is a challenge for me to live here. My time is so far away from here.

no subject
Date: 2011-12-13 12:39 am (UTC)(Figaro swoops over and latches an arm around him.)
It is not only good for me, no! It is good for the entire town! For I, Figaro, can now resume my duties as the factotum of...well, not Seville, seeing as I've been abducted here...
(Figaro's face falls for a moment, but he is nothing but positive, so in less than two seconds his face lights up here.)
Si! I get it now! I can be...the Barber of MAYFIELD instead!!
