-What? What the hell is this place? The festival is starting, I don’t have time for this bullshit, and I DO NOT HAVE GODDAMN KIDS.

Why the hell would I ever get married, let alone have kids?! The hell is wrong with this place! ...wait, Hao-sama? No, that doesn't make any sense, why would-

...my cigarettes are gone.

WHY ARE MY CIGARETTES GONE.

...

I suppose this "farce" is complete then.

Do try to keep it down, woman.

[spiritsmoking]

The hell are you talking about?

I'm not going to 'keep it down' until I find out who stole my goddamn cigarettes!

[see_time_pass]

This town. Along with any abilities, possessions, and defining features you may have.

Apparently you are also my "wife" for the purposes of this world. Now that you understand, I repeat, do try to keep it down, woman.

[spiritsmoking]

-We are NOT MARRIED.

[see_time_pass]

Trust me when I say that I would not want one such as you as a wife.

For one, you still fail to understand the basic concept of volume control.

[spiritsmoking]

You haven't explained a damn thing. Start talking.

[see_time_pass]

You aren't very intelligent are you? I will explain again, try to keep up.

You have been abducted against your will by the town of Mayfield, where you find yourself now. You are assigned a family unit, sometimes entirely of the soulless drones that inhabit this place, other times with true people, trapped just like you.

Resistance is met with brainwashing, where you become a drone.

There is no escape.

[spiritsmoking]

And what're 'drones'?

[see_time_pass]

People who are not people. Soulless automata that act in a certain way, a way the town seems to expect us to conform.

The mayor and police chief may not be drones and seem to have a great deal of power. Those that get too close tend to find themselves brainwashed.

[spiritsmoking]

...that damn old man isn't here.

Has anyone gotten out?

[see_time_pass]

No.

[spiritsmoking]

That's just great.

Guess we have to do all the hard work.

[see_time_pass]

You're welcome to try. I wish you all the luck in the world with that endeavor.

[spiritsmoking]

Where can I get some cigarettes?

[see_time_pass]

At the local general store I would imagine.

This place seems to have odd views of women though, and your lack of money may cause some problems.

[spiritsmoking]

That can be taken care of.
