Mercury's Log - 002

[smrtrthenu]

[Ami had been able to remain indoors during all of the trauma and slayings, a bit raddled by sounds and phone calls from the past week or so. With her nerve some how still in tact, it was now time for her to follow through on her mission.

A. The Town Library
Ami is looking through any historical books pertaining to the town. Any and all records she

A

[ooeeooahah]

[ There's another person reviewing materials in the reference section. Ilsa waits until Ami switches to another book before quietly commenting: ]

If you write up your analysis, you might want to talk with Dist the Rose about it. He'll also be interested in the history from your world.

"Dist the Rose? Who are they? They wouldn't happen to be a drone, would they?"

[Ami quickly turns to some notebook paper and begins to take down every thing which she deems important, whether it be real or fabricated.]

"I'm learning quite a bit about the town's recent history. Everything with the town becoming socialist, the Smith's party, it's all so terribly intriguing."

Re: A

[ooeeooahah]

[ Ilsa chuckles lightly at the thought of the Rose being taken for a drone. ]

If he is not wearing pink, he may be droned, yes. He is often found here at the library.

[ She keeps her tone low, as befitting a library. ]

Once you have completed your survey, talking to those like us who have been here a long time. The Rose can direct you to likely interviewees. I've only been here two months, but there are those who have been here years.

[smrtrthenu]

"Y-Years?"

[The thought weighs heavy on Ami. To think that she herself could be stuck here for longer than a week, a month, or even a single year!]

"My survey? Do you mean the one that arrived in the mail a few days ago?"

Re: A

[ooeeooahah]

[ Ilsa nods, sadly, at Ami's exclamation. ]

My assigned mate has been here a year and a half.

[ Then she shakes her head, tapping Ami's notes. ]

Your survey of the material in the library. Every point of view we have is another tool to figure out the puzzle. It might be something you notice as odd that helps us find a way out.

Re: A

[smrtrthenu]

"Ah! Yes! This survey!"

[For a moment Ami had panicked.]

"How do I find this Mister Rose?"

How do you describe Dist The Rose? BWAHAHAAHAHHA!

[ooeeooahah]

I usually see him here at the library. There have been a few new faces in town, so he's likely to announce a new print run of the pamphlets.

[ Ilsa pauses to look around for him, and not seeing him will continue: ] He's rather striking, I'd say. The shade of pink he favors is not a color the drone men care to wear.

Re: How do you describe Dist The Rose? BWAHAHAAHAHHA!

[smrtrthenu]

"I.. I see.

Perhaps if I made myself known to him he might approach me? I do not mean to make a scene or anything like that, just simply communicate with him over the telephone network. Would that be problematic or do you think it wise to do so, Miss Ilsa?"

[Oh Ami, so proper!]

[ooeeooahah]

You could call him, sure. That way you know when he will be here, if you don't see him.

Though he does occasionally make open calls for the news.

[smrtrthenu]

"I suppose I'll do just that then!"

[Ami nods her head, picking up a few of her remaining books. Scurrying about the library aisles in haste, Ami replaces the books where she found them. Still clinging to her notebook, the young girl bows once more to Ilsa before taking her leave.]
