37th Resurrection

[sanctus_dei]

[Theo Crawford doesn't like you. Yes, you. Well, about 95% of Mayfield's population anyway. But today, on his *day off* from his hideously boring bank job, he has been forced to interact with you all. For you see, Theo is a member of the Homeowner's Association and, just like Mayfield's careers, this isn't something you get to have by choice. Some papers arrived in the mail for him informing him of his new volunteer duty, and how he has to speak with people in town not "in compliance" with the Association's standards. Heaven forbid if everything in Mayfield isn't just perfect.

While Theo would rather be rolled over tacks and dipped in rubbing alcohol than to go out and *talk* to *people*, he's fairly certain that failure to perform his duties means a droning, which is somehow worse.

So, this weekend, Theo will be visiting people on his list. What a surprise that all the names on the list are of people who are new in town. Do you happen to be one of these people? Then expect to have a miserable-looking red-headed young man knocking on your door. Anyone else is free to stop him while he's out for a walk as well. He's hoping for this to be quick and painless, but when is Theo ever so lucky?]

Beats the shit out of me. Mayfield does a lot of stuff that we don't know how they do it. And yes. Most of them. But you don't get to pick which ones or anything like that. It just happens.

"If our things are known to be at the post office, and it seems there are many of us, why has no one simply sent many to take from one?"

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

Yeah, right. That'll never work. The people in charge of this town can pretty much do whatever they want to us. Not only that, I don't think the post office is just sitting there, filled with shit from our homes. Probably only gets them as we ask for them.

"So they have powers we do not? Nyarlathotep is not the one in charge? For this sounds like a game he would play... Worlds upon worlds, those trapped inside forced into a play."

Beats the hell out of me. Most people say it's Lucy Smith, but God knows what she really is.

"And has no one asked her, or is that yet another of this places deceptions?"

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

If you talk to her, she'll just act like a little drone girl.

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"Drone?"

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

Damn, you are new. Those empty-headed people who act like they love this place? Who act like they know you or are your family? That'd be a drone.

"Oh... My exposure to humanity has been limited to the few guests my master had when I was home, so, I did not know that was abnormal for those who were not awakened."

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

They're the pinnacle of abnormal. Thought Mayfield really wanted everyone acting like that. Why they don't all just make us, I don't know.

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"That is vexing. It seems rather a petty way of dealing with a few."

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

Nothing this town makes a lot much sense.

"So it is an exercise in adaptability. I have never been tasked with such a test, but it does seem better than waiting at the Abyss of Time till humanity expires."

[sanctusdei.livejournal.com]

A lot of things sound better than that. I don't know if Mayfield's it, though.

[elevatoravatar.livejournal.com]

"Well, its likely that humanity will expire long before its urge to destroy itself does, though, if those impulses were to be banished forever, I would certainly have less of a wait."
