[The residents of 1246 Williams Road, if they are home, may hear a thud as a very startled someone falls out of the bed that is most definitely not his. After a moment wasted sprawled on the floor and gaping at his surroundings, Firo dashes out of the bedroom to find roam the house and search for his captor(s).]  

Hey! What's goin' on here?!

[He moves through the house throwing open doors willynilly.]  
 

[Action]

[Firo's wandering Mayfield, alternating between a frantic trot and a dumbfounded stroll as he tries to get his bearings. Numerous times he attempts to confront a drone for more information, but quickly leaves each one after a frustrated and confusing conversation. After one such talk, he stomps away from a cheery neighbor and imploringly asks the heavens: ]

Is there anybody who makes sense here?

[Growing steadily angrier, he stalks about the town, not noticing that he's walking in circles. 

Point that out to him? Point and laugh?

And because finding yourself in a strange place eliminates any need for manners, you also may find him peering in the ground floor windows of various homes to try and find out just what in the world this place is.]

Grady, the Mayor, Lucy Smith... I wouldn't recommend trying to get anything though.

[He narrows his eyes. Maybe this guy is one of their helpers.]

Why not?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Anybody who's tried has usually ended up dead. Or worse.

[He doesn't yet know he's no longer immortal and so tries not to let those possibilities trouble him.]

Yeah, well, I'm sure I'll be fine.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

You can try, I'll still be here to tell you "I told you so." after you get yourself killed.

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

What makes you so certain I'll wind up dead?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Because going up against these guys is a stupid idea. I don't like it any better than you do, but at least I have the common sense to not throw myself into additional suffering.

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

It sounds like the only thing ta' do. Unless you have a better idea that doesn't involve buryin' your head in the sand?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Fine, go ahead then. See if I care. Now can I go back to sleep?

(If this guy wants to go get himself killed, fine by me. He'll be back the next day anyway.)

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

Just tell me, is there anybody here who's more cooperative?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

No idea. Try asking around.

[He sighs and says sarcastically:]

Great. Thanks for all your help.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

You're welcome...

[And he's curled up into his blanket again.]
