Did anyone else find that census we had filled out to be rather... off? I cannot find the proper word, it escapes me at the moment. And while I've filled out census forms in the past, I do not believe I've answered how I like my eggs or what my favorite soda flavor was. I'm not much of a fan of either, being that I cannot exactly have the former,

McCarthyism?

[He never really payed attention to history class in Japan, and even less in world history.]

[tiktoktibenoch]

Oh, basically, a moment where everyone was questioned and tried for being a communist while in the United States, named after a politician who actually did most of the questioning. A sort of... oh, a sort of "You either want to keep America safe, or you are a commie" sort of mentality?

I was not around during that time, not for another 20 years, so I do not know its exact specifics.

[weiss_tank]

Ugh...that sounds like a massive pain. Just up this towns alley, that's for sure. I think you may have called it mister.

[tiktoktibenoch]

...oh n-no the last thing I'd ever want to happen is to jinx something. Oh no, what if you're right.

I hope that soda question isn't a part of it.

[sturmbahnfurher]

I must admit, it's entertaining attempting to imagine what they might throw at us with it.

[tiktoktibenoch]

If we're going to be forced into some interrogation and branded as enemies, I'm not exactly enthralled.

[sturmbahnfurher]

[He snickers a bit at it.]

I'd find it far more preferable to how dull the town often is.

[tiktoktibenoch]

I prefer the dullness, at least we're certainly safer with it.

[ooeeooahah]

I found the timing within normal limits, but the questions were not.

On the other hand, the red scare at the time fits what I've seen in the children's schoolbooks.

[tiktoktibenoch]

The questions were far from normal, yes.

I'm dreading this, now. Goodness.

[ooeeooahah]

The problem is being ready, without being overly anxious.

Yes, there may be an issue in the future. The problem is we don't know exactly which way they will take it.

Do you have any stress-relieving activities you can indulge in? It would be best for your health to be flexible when the disaster strikes.

[tiktoktibenoch]

Reading, for one. Paired with tea, or alcohol, or perhaps both given the situation.

I may just be drinking from the bottle by the time this happens.

[warriorscoffee]

Maybe they want to make you some eggs.

[tiktoktibenoch]

...why?

[warriorscoffee]

Why else would they ask?

[tiktoktibenoch]

With the town's reputation, I can't not have a worry over the questions. They may, or will, be used against us. I know it.

[im_the_cute_one]

I voted for omelets.

[tiktoktibenoch]

Oh I used to love those. I prefer mine over-easy these days.
