Who: Brian Farmer (Scarecrow) and Clarice Ambrose (Red-Haired Mermaid) What: Babysitting their beloved niece...at least to start off Where: The Berkeley's house When: Tuesday Evening. Status: Closed, Incomplete Rating: Mild to start, but it's bound to get ugly with these two!
Brian pulled up in his black Chevy Impala, parking it in the driveway of his brother's house. He always loved having a driveway to park in -- he hated leaving his pretty, shiny car on the street beside his apartment building. Jared had called him up earlier, with an odd request. "I need you to watch my kid," he said. "And keep an eye on Clarice." Apparently he and Marissa were going out of town for a couple days to cash in some passes to a spa that her parents had gotten them for Christmas. Jared had grumbled, but ultimately jumped at the chance to spend some uninterrupted time alone with his wife. Marissa had asked Clarice to babysit; Jared voiced his opposition to the idea loudly, then called Brian over to 'supervise'. God, this should be an interesting couple of days.
Twirling his keyring around his index finger, Brian walked up to the door and let himself in, poking his head around to look for his dear sister-in-law. He wondered if Jared or Marissa had bothered telling Clarice that she wouldn't be left alone with her niece -- that Cool Uncle Brian was coming over to make sure she didn't burn the place down or let the baby play with scissors. After kicking his shoes off by the door, he heard a noise coming from the direction of the kitchen and padded through the living room to see what Clarice was up to.
