[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.]

[Either that's the truth, or she has a really good poker face. Firo hopes it's the latter.]

Are you kiddin' me?

[pseudoll.livejournal.com]

[It's kind of both actually...]

No.

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

But- How? That doesn't just...

Is this a dream?

[pseudoll.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, no. This is reality.

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

I don't get it. How is any a' this even possible?

[pseudoll.livejournal.com]

Our captors are beyond powerful. [Twisting time and space and messing with death aren't things normal people can do after all.]

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

What do you mean by that?

[pseudoll.livejournal.com]

They have the power to bring the dead back to life.

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

...Bring the... What? How?

[pseudoll.livejournal.com]

I don't know. But they can.

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

How often do they do that? Have you seen 'em do it?

[pseudoll.livejournal.com]

Any time someone dies. [a beat] Not exactly, but...

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

"Not exactly" as in..? Did you die?

[pseudoll.livejournal.com]

No. There was an event recently in which many people were assigned to kill another person in this town. Many followed it, and many died. However, they are all alive now.

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

That's crazy! Why would anybody want that?

[pseudoll.livejournal.com]

I don't know. It seemed foolish.

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

Sure sounds like it. Does stuff like that happen often here?

[pseudoll.livejournal.com]

[She nods.] That's what I've been informed of.

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

Geez... What a nut house.

Thanks for fillin' me in, though, miss..? What's your name?

[pseudoll.livejournal.com]

My name is Yin. It's nice to meet you.

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

I'm Firo Prochainezo. Nice ta' meet you, too.

[pseudoll.livejournal.com]

[She nods.] Are there any further questions?

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

No, I don't think so. Unless there's more crazy stuff about this place that's important ta' know?

[pseudoll.livejournal.com]

Not that I'm aware of.

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

Guess that's it, then. Thanks, Yin.
