Who: D'Artagnan + open
What: arrival/settling in/catchall
When: November
Where: Milton
Content Warnings: tba
[In the days since his arrival, D'Artagnan sets out to explore most of Milton with the eagerness of a young man unused to the environment but relatively aware of its dangers. He'd procured a scarf and gloves from a man on the road early on, the latter ill-fitting, and before he goes too far, he's searching for warmer clothing in the Community Hall, huffy and particular about some things, like more weather-appropriate boots to replace his own, where their padded and insulated interiors feel uncomfortable and awkward, and it's been difficult to find a pair where his toes aren't curling inside them. The materials of many items confuse him, and he might oddly finger the fabric, or struggle with unfamiliar small fastenings as zippers. Whilst there, he lends a similar frustrated curiosity to the bathrooms and the kitchen, and any relatively modern items he doesn't entirely fathom, whether they work presently or not. On his way out to the streets, he'll glance over the message board, anything regarding traveling out of Milton of particular interest.
Odd as it is to occupy someone's home when they'd died of mysterious madness, as far as he might understand it, or fled such things, D'Artagnan had chosen a smaller two room cabin on Mackenzie Street, and he might be found examining the exterior, rooting around inside re-arranging things and taking stock of what's been left behind that might be of use, or introducing himself politely, if dry and monotonously, to anyone he hasn't met, potentially his new neighbours for the foreseeable future. He heads out to Paradise Farm earlier on, as he'd promised to have a look at things and see where his skills might be needed or desired, and in the later days, he wanders out towards either end of town, quite confused by the gas station and abandoned cars, and stops into the hunting supplies store to look for any weapons or gear not yet absconded with, spare as they may be, and will hang around the general store, as the proprietor had been generous with his whisky and he'd found the place comfortable enough to loiter.
He's generally an amicable attitude if he stops to ask questions or offer assistance if seems one might need it, yet tends to towards a judgmental bent when enquiring of things he doesn't understand, as if it a personal offense to be made aware of his ignorance.]
(ooc: some basic 'around milton' ideas there. i welcome wildcards, any continuations or other tdm flavour things here as well, and will write individual starters upon request!)
