[ action; for 503 Ricardo Street ]
[ Upon waking, Peter goes into quiet panic mode, staring at the person next to him and shoving himself out of bed about as fast as he can possibly manage. He's out of the bedroom and wandering around his house mere seconds later, eyes wide obviously in some form of shock.

No one truly knows "what's going on around here". Recently, zhe ones who we zhought were in charge turned out to be victims like zhe rest of us.

But I suppose you could talk to anyone who is willing to listen. Zhere are many of us 'ere, and many of us listening on zhe phone lines right now.

So nobody really knows who runs the place anymore. That's comforting.

Vraiment. I am afraid you will not find many comforts in zhis town, besides zhe fact zhat we are all prisoners.

Guess that's better than nothing. How long've you been here?

phone;

[un_beau_coquin]

A bit over two monzhs. You are new, I take it. 'Ow much do you know about zhis town so far?

[askedtobe]

New as of today. Apart from the little girl down the street who abducts people? There's mind control, brain washing- not even sure I remember everything else.

Glad implanted memories isn't on the list, though.

Well, I suppose zhe droning counts more as brain washing zhan implanted memories. Besides being cautious of your actions around drones, zhere is not much to say. Simply stay away from zhe milk and try to keep cool when zhe town decides to play its tricks on you; you should be fine.

[askedtobe]

Do the drones report back? To someone?

phone;

[un_beau_coquin]

I would not say zhat, exactly. Zhey are controlled by zhe people in charge; zhey are zheir eyes, tracking us all around town.

Is there anywhere to go where they're.. not?

[un_beau_coquin]

I am not entirely certain. While zhere 'ave been more of us replacing zhe drones in 'ouse'olds, some of us get droned for very, very long periods of time, which 'elps compensate for our growing numbers in a way. I would zhink not, zhough; you can never be too careful.

phone;

[askedtobe]

What do you mean, we can get droned? Even after we show up here?

phone;

[un_beau_coquin]

...Oui. Did someone not explain to you what zhis "brainwashing" was?

phone;

[askedtobe]

I haven't gotten a whole lot of explanations yet.

phone;

[un_beau_coquin]

Clearly. I suppose I should explain as much as I can, oui? It might take a while.

[askedtobe]

I'd appreciate whatever you could tell me.
