First terrorist 忍 Phone/Action

[rorring]

[Judging from the generously loud rattling of the phone being picked up all too quickly, it's quite clear to say that the person by which the phone is being handled isn't.... happy, to say the least.

Drugged? No, there aren't any signs of it. Kidnapped? Well, there wouldn't be much of a motive, would there?]

Miyagi, pick up your damn phone!

[But then it dawns on him that there's no ringing, no response, and not even an answering machine. Darn. Maybe it wouldn't place international calls, since this place sure didn't seem like Japan.]

I refuse to believe that there isn't someone at the other end of this line. If this is some kind of joke, it's not funny.

[Residents of 1762 Beaver Street can also find one (1) sandy-haired 18 year old stomping down the stairs and observing the first floor with crossed arms before walking outside and taking a lap around the house. Yeah, good luck with this one.]

[golds]

You're right, it isn't very funny.. [ but even as she says that, her voice is light and almost bordering on teasing. ]

But it isn't a joke either. Although our captors might think of it that way, I wouldn't be surprised.

[rorring]

If it isn't a joke then don't sound so amused!

[golds]

Ah, sorry, sorry. I guess I can't help it, after a while the influx of new people just gets the same, you see..?

[rorring]

It's only logical to ask where you are when you wake up in a place like this.

[Wow, stop defending yourself....]

[golds]

Fine, then I'll answer your question. [ so nice, Eva.. ]

This city is called Mayfield.

[rorring]

So we can't leave? Who captured us?! I don't see the reasoning behind whatever the hell they're trying to do. There's no point in kidnapping a bunch of people and sticking them in this stupid city.

They must have gotten the wrong guy. There's no motive to kidnap me.

[longwhitecloud]

There are a lot of people on the other end of this line. It's a kind of public broadcast, like a radio.

[rorring]

There are people listening.

So I can't call normal numbers?

[longwhitecloud]

It doesn't seem to be the normal setting, at least.

[rorring]

So to everyone at home I just disappeared off of the face of the earth. That's fucking fantastic.

[His words may be harsh, but his voice is slightly wavering.]

[longwhitecloud]

Apparently they won't notice that you're gone because when you return, no time will have passed.

At least that's what my brother told me. ["Sibling" is usually a source that most people trust, so there won't be some insult or Australia's name here.]

[rorring]

We're stuck here for God knows how long without any contact back home? Just great.

What if it takes years before I get back?!

[But then he stops. Progression of years -> aging. Aging would mean catching up to Miyagi and closing their age gap. That means--]

Dammit.

[longwhitecloud]

Then they still wouldn't notice that you were gone.

That is what I was told at least.

[rorring]

I can deal with it.

[longwhitecloud]

Do you have any questions about this place, then?

[rorring]

Just tell me what you know.

[longwhitecloud]

You're in an American town called Mayfield now, and it's the fifties of the 20th century. How old are you?

[rorring]

The fifties? In America? So everything is boring, basically.

I'm eighteen.

[longwhitecloud]

That's a good description, I guess. But better than the war era still.

[It is nice to have as much food and clothing and so on as you want, and no drafting al over the place...]

Then you'll have a job and be a father - if you can't figure out where you work, they'll give you a call and ask you why you aren't coming there soon enough.

[rorring]

Wha-- A father?! Why should I have to raise a bunch of drooling brats?

Have these people have never heard of college?

[longwhitecloud]

After you reach the age of 18, you're a parent here. Your children are most likely not that much younger than you, though, so you don't have to worry about that.

[rorring]

I never asked for this! I'm only in my first year of college, I can't be a father!

[longwhitecloud]

At least you're not dealing with babies.

[Chuckle.]

Depending on if your wife is a drone or not, you'll not have to bother much with the children if you don't want, anyway.

[rorring]

Wife?!

[No no NO HE WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS]

[longwhitecloud]

Wife, children, house, car, probably even a pet.

Phone

[demonizes]

[...]

It ain't no joke, we're all stuck here too.

[rorring]

How many people is "we"?

[demonizes]

.... A lot? This towns pretty big.

[rorring]

If it's just a boring town then I can deal with it.

[He's trying to act so cool....]

[demonizes]

Well this place isn't exactly boring, messed up would be a better way to describe it.

[rorring]

Messed up sounds better than boring, at least.

[Which isn't saying much.]

[demonizes]

...If you say so. [Rin's had enough of the kidnappings, death, and destruction by now to be frank.]

Action ☆

[badend_replay]

[ FFFF IT'S FAMILY

NON DRONED FAMILY

Rika is so happy.

So she decides to actually be a bit playful with their meeting. She begins following him around the house quietly, waiting for him to turn around and see that she's there. ]

[rorring]

[It'll take him a good lap around the house to catch her out of the corner of his eye while turning to go back upstairs.]

Have you been following me?

[badend_replay]

mi~i! I have been wondering where you are going, so yes!

[rorring]

[Oh, she's just a little girl....]

I just got here. [....] So you live here?

Action

[goodevenyan]

_{[Oh, Satomi hears the stomping, and, at first, she thinks Mirai has come over for an unannounced visit. Upon realizing that the pink haired Puella Magi is nowhere in sight, Satomi follows the noise, before finding the source.]}

Are you lost?

[rorring]

Everything's been explained to me, but lost is still the best word for it.

[goodevenyan]

_{[Oh, he's new. Well, Satomi had assumed he had simply gotten lost in general, but she'll give him a polite smile anyway.]}

That's good; I haven't been here for very long- only a few months, but I know enough to try to explain some things. _{[But uhh if he knows he knows! It saves her trying to answer something she doesn't.]}

I'm Satomi Usagi- it's nice to meet you.

[rorring]

I'll learn by experiencing it. [Blunt enough? Well, yes; he's more unsettled than he's letting off, but this girl doesn't seem to be any harm.]

Shinobu. Takatsuki Shinobu.
