three - Soviet Mayfield

[tsuntiger]

[Taiga's in another bad mood today.  School at FIVE?  She hadn't gone to bed until past midnight, and she certainly didn't feel like going to school... except her drone mommy shoved her out the door.

Now she's supposed to be serving stew.  Pffft, as soon as she could get away from the school she took off and is sitting on the lawn of a house that

[Aisling has just come back from school. She's very grumpy and bored from the teachers droning on and on about the "Glorious Nation" and all that stuff, so she isn't in the best of moods. And when she sees someone sitting on "her" lawn uninvited, her territorial streak emerges.]

What are you doing here?

[tsuntiger]

I'm sitting. It's not a crime.

[wolf_faerie]

This isn't your house! Go away!

Don't you have a job to do? If you don't do it, you'll be punished!

[tsuntiger]

Well, sorry for being lost!

I didn't do it.

[wolf_faerie]

[Oh. Well, that's another story.]

You're lost? Where are you trying to go?

Didn't do it? But if you don't, whoever's in charge might do something awful to you...

[tsuntiger]

Anywhere but school or the factory. I got lost enough in regular Mayfield, this is even worse...

I-I'll do it tomorrow!

[She doesn't quite realise how scary the guys in charge can be...]

Well, as long as you do it sometime...

[tsuntiger]

The drones are the ones that called me Comrade, right? This place is... amazing.

Do you have a job?

[wolf_faerie]

[She nods.] I don't know why they call us that. I'm not anyone's comrade.

No, I just have to go to school.

[tsuntiger]

Exactly! I sure know I'm not gonna call someone my "comrade".

It's so stupid... But at least you don't have to do more.
