A) 5720 Cunningham Lane - Morning

[The last thing Christopher remembered was falling down the stairs and breaking his neck again. Which surely meant he was about to be assigned more lines.

This time it seemed as though they hadn't brought him back to his room in the castle. That was interesting. The place looked justas dull, and a bit childish, but it seemed to be a in a regular house, rather than in the castle at all.

There didn't seem to be anyone else about, either, so he decided to get up and explore his surroundings.]


B) Around Town - Anytime

[There's a young, gawky, almost-teenaged boy wandering around the town. He has the look of a newcomer about him, with how he seems to be surveying everything, peeking into shops, and generally getting a feel for the neighborhood, but he doesn't seem nearly as bothered as most of the newcomers do. He's a friendly kid, if you care to stop and chat. If you work in a shop or a restaurant, you'll probably have him come in at some point during the day, very curious about how this world works.]

This is Mayfield. It can be pretty creepy.

[inauspicious]

Creepy?

[splashpuppy]

There are people that are gonna try and tell you you've lived here forever and Ukraine is really your mom and the drone man is really your dad.

[inauspicious]

But I know they're not.

[splashpuppy]

Yeah, all the regular people do. It's just the drones that are creepy like that.

[inauspicious]

[He shrugs.] What does it matter if they tell me that then?

[splashpuppy]

Mostly you should just be ready for the drone man to keep saying he's your dad. Ukraine's really good at getting him to go away though.

[inauspicious]

What do you mean, drone man?

[splashpuppy]

There's two kinds of people in Mayfield. There's regular people like you and me and Ukraine who just woke up here one day. And then there's the drones. They act like all of this is real and mostly only ever say the same few things. They're creepy.
