[[Aaron's jogging and not paying attention.

He'll probably run into one of them, literally.]]

Oh... oops! Sorry, I was on my way to-...!

I mean... I am running late to class, I'm not skipping or anything.

[[Mistaking them for drones.]]

Aaron -> Dad -> Mom busy_fists November 21 2011, 21:47:31 UTC

Well, you'd better hurry along, then. If you don't apply yourself in school, you'll pay for it later.

[Dad's probably not doing much here to dispel the perception that he's a drone.]

Re: Aaron -> Dad -> Mom pinkscarflady November 22 2011, 09:11:13 UTC

True enough. A little knowledge can easily give you the advantage.

[She pauses to thoughtfully sip her martini.]

Not to mention that skipping school is surely terribly non-conformist, and we wouldn't want that, would we?

[It would clash with the town's carefully constructed decor.]

Re: Aaron -> Dad -> Mom pants_yourmove November 22 2011, 12:34:14 UTC

Uh... right. Yeah, thanks sir, ma'am.

Isn't it a little early to be drinking... I mean, just wondering.

[[He'll never understand the 50's.]]

busy_fists November 22 2011, 22:22:29 UTC

Hey, if you want to try getting it away from her, be my guest.

[Dad shrugs his shoulders and shakes his head, laughing. Having a little fun at Aaron's expense and sort of stealth-complimenting Mom over here.]

pinkscarflady November 23 2011, 08:21:22 UTC

[She grins, very amused.]

Young man, I assure you it's never too early. Although I suppose I should should offer my gratitude for your laudable, if misguided, concern.

pants_yourmove November 23 2011, 12:24:33 UTC

[[Not sure if that was an insult or not...

... he's starting to catch on that it might have been.]]

You're not drones, are you?

[[His first clue was the sarcasm.]]

busy_fists November 23 2011, 21:44:08 UTC

Well, that all depends on what a 'drone' is, doesn't it?

pinkscarflady November 24 2011, 08:13:17 UTC

[She gives Dad a nod and then looks expectantly at Aaron.]

We're still a bit new in town, so I'm afraid we'll have to trouble you for the definition.

pants_yourmove November 24 2011, 15:50:00 UTC

[[Ooooh.

Wow, they fit in so well.]]

Drones are people that were brainwashed. Some of them are permanent.

They act like normal members of the town and like nothing is wrong.

busy_fists November 24 2011, 16:15:51 UTC

Well then, in that case, we're definitely not drones.

So this brainwashing... who's in charge of that? The same people that brought us here in the first place?

pinkscarflady November 25 2011, 01:00:31 UTC

It would be a good way to keep a lot of potentially rowdy prisoners under control....

pants_yourmove November 25 2011, 20:32:57 UTC

I think it's the same people, it seems to be anyways. We know a lot but not enough.

It does, kinda. It's a good threat since death is temporary.

busy_fists November 25 2011, 21:49:25 UTC

Temporary...? How does that work?

pinkscarflady November 26 2011, 23:50:11 UTC

Do they have some way to bring back the departed? Or merely some assurance that no one will die?

pants_yourmove November 27 2011, 23:09:29 UTC

Not sure, I just know you wake up the next day. I guess your best bet is to witness it.
