Mission: 001

[Action: 1650 Albright]

-It was an odd sensation for him as he slowly woke up. He hadn't recalled going down for stasis, and as he took in his surroundings, he hadn't recalled doing so in some... what was this? He found himself in some bed... and then he found himself unequipped with, well, everything. In fact! When he realized he was stuck in a human body, he screamed. Yup. Screamed.-

[Action: Around town!]

-Dynamo's human frame was oddly tall and lanky, in a failed attempt to replicate his reploid form. He would glare at a drone as they acted in their usual fashion. ... and ignore those that didn't seem to take notice of him. That's right, the guy just outright ignored you. Clearly you're not worth talking to.-

[How rude. But he's coming out of the house where Miss Esther lived, so Cain is taking more of an interest, coming over anyway.]

Did you just get here?

[silver_reign]

Are you still talking?

-Finally, he does turn to look over at the speaker.-

You could say I just got here. Now how do I get back? ... and out of...

-He tugged at his shirt-

This?

[kinship]

[That was ruder than he had expected and Cain pauses a moment in surprise, though it doesn't change his smile one bit.]

Changing your clothes should be easy enough, there's clothes shops on the main street... As for getting back, I'm afraid we're still working on that.

[silver_reign]

-He's not polite right now. He might apologize later.-

That's... that's not quite what I meant. Okay, how's about this? I'm not human.

Well, I am now... but no, I'm not...

-This time he patted himself down.-

This isn't me. It was cute at first but, joke's gone on too far now.

[kinship]

[Ah.

That makes a bit more sense, and Cain is nodding in apology to show he understood.]

I'm sorry, everyone arrives here human, there's nothing that can be done about it. But any powers you might have will return over time.

[silver_reign]

I was afraid you'd say something like that. "Everyone arrives here..."

-He glared in the direction of the other.-

Just why are you so happy about it?

[kinship]

Should I be sad and let this town win?

[Much better to pretend he wasn't bothered.]

[silver_reign]

-He blinked.-

You say that as if the town were alive.

[kinship]

I don't think so... but it has an element of sentience in that the people who run it have complete control over every aspect of it.

[silver_reign]

... and I can only guess that you witnessed this control?

[kinship]

Several times. Anyone who has been here longer than a few weeks will have done, it's a consistent thing.

[silver_reign]

Is that so?

Well the lady inside seemed like she was off her royal rocker... can't lie. You sound like it too.

[kinship]

You mean Miss Esther? I hope you were polite to her, she's very nice...

...plus, she's a nun, I think it's a law to be polite to those.

[silver_reign]

What kind of backwards place is this?

[kinship]

[With the biggest, blankest smile and a fake American accent.]

Golly gee, sir, it's Mayfield... the happiest town in the USA.

[silver_reign]

Yeah. Cute.

-He's going to walk away now...-

[kinship]

[How rude. Shame Cain won't give up the next time they see each other, he's incorrigible like that.]
