[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.]

Alright, thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

"Droned..?" And what exactly is defined as "bad" here?

[enemyradar.livejournal.com]

Yep. They'll brain wash you and turn you into one of the drones for a certain amount of time.
Well, there's a lot of stuff. If you miss work or school for more than three days, that's bad. Well, really, anything that'll catch the attention of the people that run Mayfield will possibly get you droned.

[He gives her a skeptical look.]

...Uh-huh. And how exactly do they do this? Just cut open your head and pluck your brain out?

[enemyradar.livejournal.com]

Hey, I don't know! It's never happened to me. I mean, how do they do anything around here? It's all a complete mystery.

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

Geez...

But wait, we get droned if we don't go ta' work, you said. How do I get there if it ain't here?

[enemyradar.livejournal.com]

Oh, well they usually assign adults jobs when they come here, I think. I don't know, or maybe you can go out and get one...? Um, either way, if you have one, you have to go to it.

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure how much I like the idea of givin' this place a hand.

[enemyradar.livejournal.com]

Hehe, I don't blame you. Maybe you'll get lucky and end up getting by without a job.

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

[He laughs]

I take it they don't accept saboteur as a job?

[enemyradar.livejournal.com]

[Giggles.] Probably not! Maybe you could try, though~

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

Couldn't hurt! And it'd help pass the time until I find a way out.

[enemyradar.livejournal.com]

Hehe, right! You might as well get as comfortable as you can while you're here!

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

I see what ya mean, but I don't plan on havin' time ta' get comfortable.

[He smiles]

Thanks a lot for all your help.

[She nods and smiles back.]

Not a problem!
