001 [Action]

[isolationbox]

[So after waking up in a different bed, freaking out and then hiding in his room to freak out some more, Marcell has calmed down enough to actually leave the house and take a look where he is. He is starting from 838 Hastings Boulevard and going around the neighbourhood, apparently trying to map the town out in his own head. Except this is a lot

[He's quickly back up a little! What happened to trying to be inconspicuous.]

I-I'm fine.

[isolationbox]

[That actually spikes up his caution, slightly, but she actually seems normal compared to everything else in the town, and he is getting pretty desperate.]

Urm. Where am I?

[willbeurweapon]

[She's walking along herself and his slightly upset and confused expression clues her in that he's probably new or fresh from droning and either way, he probably needs a hand--

Especially since that was, in fact, her neighbor's bike he just knocked over]

Are you alright? New?

[isolationbox]

[Koharu's pretty much the only thing stopping him from just running away. Someone who doesn't treat him like he's supposed to be here!]

Yeah, I-I guess.

[willbeurweapon]

Yeah, you seem just as confused as all the rest of us were. This is Mayfield and we're all brought here against our will. [pause] Except those smiling people. The drones.

[isolationbox]

[--Okay, deep breath! Must not panic in public. That would be bad.]

Drones?

[Ken had his back turned, so he didn't see the little kid walking until it was to late. At least Ken's not hard like a telephone pole?]

Ah?! What the...shit, you ok kiddo?

[isolationbox]

[asdfghjkl why is he attracting attention to himself!!]

I-I'm okay!

[weiss_tank]

[Ken smiled down at him.]

Good, I haven't seen you around, are you new?

[isolationbox]

I-I guess I am.

[ The kid may bump into Snake, but Snake doesn't budge. At his weight it's like running into a brick wall. Nevertheless you've attracted Snake's attention. He turns around and is glaring hard at you. He's good-looking for a man, but his presence, size, glare and expression are all so intimidating. ]

... You alright, kid?

[isolationbox]

[His first reaction is to instinctively shrink and move back as fast as possible. He's already afraid of grown-ups, let alone intimidating ones.]

- I'm fine!

[a_nakedsnake]

You should be careful.

[ He's still glaring. But for Snake he's just looking at the kid. ]

[isolationbox]

I-I'm sorry!

[Stop being scary Snake.]

[nosoul_nomind]

['Sup Marcell? You just bumped into a small teenage girl. She doesn't look too happy. She's also carrying a hatchet. She sounds calm, at least.]

Hey, watch where you're going.

[isolationbox]

[... ... ...

AHHHH AHHHH AHHHH AHHH

Except he's just. Staring. Wh-what.]

[nosoul_nomind]

What? [This is an honest question. She frowns at him, then remembers. Right, I'm holding an axe. She looks at it, then back to Marcell, shrugging.]

Relax. I ain't gonna hurt you.

[isolationbox]

[NOT RELAXING.]

Wh-why are you carrying that around?
