Tak, The Hideous New Girl

[insectoidalien]

[There appears to be a large, angry green ant stomping through Mayfield

Tak could believe that some crazy earth man was holding a whole town of people hostage. She’s heard of stranger things; her own race did worse to others after all. But when they trapped and enslaved other beings, they did it for an explicit reason: slave labor. She couldn’t

[Speaking of that damnable earth child, he's been watching you walk in circles, Tak. Considering you'd already admitted to being an alien, it isn't very hard to detect who you are when you pass by. He just stands where he is, waiting and watching you pass in circles a few times, before finally speaking.]

Having fun there?

[insectoidalien]

[But to her, you're just another awful human, and she doesn't recognize you at first]

I do not recall asking you.

[She continues on her way maybe if she walks long enough, the roads will stop looping]

[godisachild]

Told you it looped....Tak? That's what you said your name is, right?

[insectoidalien]

How did you know my--?

[Wait. that voice...]

Oh. It's you.

[godisachild]

And you sound so pleased to see me!

So, like I said: having fun figuring out I was right?

1/2

[insectoidalien]

[If she thought she could get away with it, you'd be pretty dead right about now, Pokey]

2/2

[insectoidalien]

[but since it's not dark and they're not in a lonely alleyway, instead she says:]

You made a simple observation that I had no way of knowing at the time. Good for you.

[godisachild]

[He just stands there with his hands in his pockets.]

Considering how much you wanted to deny it, I'd say it works as more than a simple observation. Especially what it could say about our captors.

It's like she has permanent pms

[insectoidalien]

[Tak is wearing the deepest frown right now.]

It only makes them all the more incomprehensible. Why trap all these people in this prison, and then not even take advantage of the power they have over everyone here? As far as I can tell, the worst anyone has to deal with is living with strangers.

[aka ALIEN FILTH, but Tak is trying to keep her xenophobia in check right now]

The person who she's speaking too isn't particularly better

[godisachild]

Entertainment, most likely.

And it does get worse. They can apparently exert control over us physically and mentally from what I've heard, though I haven't experienced that yet. I have met a few of the people that've died and been brought back to life though.

What I have experienced is them changing the landscape entirely. Near the beginning of last month, they changed it from 1950s America to a parody of 1950s Russia.

I can guess how they can create an encapsulated space. No idea how they're changing the dimension itself.

Pokey Minch Syndrome

[insectoidalien]

Physical and mental control? Elaborate.

I suppose people would tend to die a lot here. [The 'dying and brought back to life' thing doesn't surprise her. She's managed to go longer than ten minutes without her pak, so something similar must've happened to her.]

It would not be difficult to change the landscape if the landscape itself wasn't real. It's probably a hologram of some sort.

That's a good way to put it

[godisachild]

As I've said, I haven't experienced that part so my knowledge on it is pretty small. But apparently, they can force control in certain ways. One example I've heard of is that they set up a rule on Father's Day where girls were FORCED to do anything a male asked them. It was both a physical and psychological response: they couldn't help but obey.

True. However, it wouldn't be too hard for it to be an actual space they've somehow sanctioned off. After all, if they have the technology to draw people from different dimensions and planets and times to one destination. So it could be a hologram, but that they might have quartered off a specific place in space isn't impossible.

[He's started walking forward now, and it's pretty clear there's something off about his skin. It isn't the typical pale white of most earth monkeys, but has a weird, blue tone to it.]

Derp, didn't realize he was blue.

[insectoidalien]

How could they even enforce that? Do they have access to our minds?

It might be better to assume what is most logical until we have evidence otherwise. [Different dimensions and times? She's tempted to call the pale blue earth child crazy, but that didn't work out so well last time.

Wait.

Blue?]

Skin condition, there? Or are you lying about being human?

((OOC: I'mma wander off for a bit. I've been sick and I need to rest my eyes a bit. I'll get back soon.))

LOL, there are few icons showing that it's him after messing with the Distorter/time-space

[godisachild]

It would make sense if they did. After all, if they could entrap us here, maybe they've done something to our minds to. An implant that could control and work with our minds, maybe?

Trust me, I don't just go around making statements that aren't logical if I can avoid it. There's nothing supernatural here, and there has to be a scientific explanation. But after meeting some of the people here, and each one talking about different histories and worlds, or from different time periods, it gets hard to be entirely skeptical.

Heh. Skin condition. Comes from messing around with time-space.

[OOC: That's cool. I have work in awhile, so my responses may be slow too.]

But I played Earthbound/Mother 2, I should know this

[insectoidalien]

If we did have such implants in our minds, why would they only use them on special occasions?

Well, those people could be a part of the program too. [didn't you watch the matrix?]

Time-space? How did you-- how does that even--? [This face forever.] I wasn't aware of any toxic affects from using time travel.

Eh, it happens. No biggie.

[godisachild]

...Well, okay, there's something that slipped my mind. You know all those really happy people you see around towns? The vacant looking ones other people are calling drones?

...True. Even though they seem to show resistance, there's no guarantee they aren't there specifically to give an impression that whoever's doing this has more power then they actually do. Still, consider I had a way to manipulate space time, I have less difficulty believing they could be from other dimensions and all that jazz.

Long story short: stole a time machine, it keeps me from aging but damages my body in other ways, have been running amok in space-time for about 400 years. Not necessarily a toxic thing as much as "hey jerk, there's still a price to pay for using this".
