[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.]

[Firo just stares at Hibari as all hope slowly starts to drain out of him.]

Not you again-!

[kuichigiru.livejournal.com]

Do you see now? You can't leave. None of us can.

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

There's gotta be a way somehow! How'd anybody get here if there isn't a way in and out?

[kuichigiru.livejournal.com]

Nobody knows. For now, at least.

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

How long have you been here? How many other people are stuck like this?

[kuichigiru.livejournal.com]

For ten months.

As for how many other people... I'm sure it must be in the hundreds.

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

[Pause]

That's a really long time.

[kuichigiru.livejournal.com]

There are people who've been here longer.

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

Even longer..? I can't believe this. What's the point anyway?!

[kuichigiru.livejournal.com]

Nobody knows.

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

Is there anybody who knows anything about this place?

[kuichigiru.livejournal.com]

We know plenty of things about Mayfield. But not the most important things.

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

[He sighs]

I see.... Anything else I should know?

[kuichigiru.livejournal.com]

Don't cause too much trouble or you'll get droned. Try to have some sensibility. Don't take any offers the people in charge give you. Don't drink the milk.

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

I'm not gonna sell out ta' these people.

...Milk? Why not?

[kuichigiru.livejournal.com]

You'd be surprised how many people would.

Just take my word for it. Unless you want to try it yourself.

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

...Alright.

Thanks for your help. Um, what's your name?

[kuichigiru.livejournal.com]

Hibari.

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

I'm Firo.

[He sighs]

...I guess I'll probably see ya round.
