Quest One: Not this place again

[littlemiss101]

 [Mae walks up in a bed. That alone is enough to set off alarm bells. She remembers very distinctly going to sleep last night, leaning against a half destroyed wall with a dog next to her. And considering how...well non destroyed the room was looking.... 

She very quickly snuck out of bed and started to look around the house. Grabbing a baseball bat from the small boy's room as she went. Never hurt to have a weapon when you've been kidnapped.  She looks outside.



......well this wasn't good. She quickly goes back inside and get's dressed, interogates some drones and locates the phone.]

Dr. Braun, if you're there. We need to talk because I'm pretty sure being back in this place is impossible considering everyone died last time. 

[And with that she hangs up. She's sure if he is behind this...and who else would be? It's just like last time...though she admits it's ...different and slightly more impossible...that if he was behind it, he'd be calling back to gloat at any moment. Until then.  
 

Mayfield there is a woman wandering around carrying a baseball bat like a weapon. You can find her.

A. On her lawn examining the grass, or her arm. They...feel more real then the simulation. But there's also colour here, so maybe it's just a tech upgrade. 

 

B. Going through your mailbox or garbage can. Hey, who knows what valuables you might have thrown away....like this bottle cap, score!

 

C. Interrogating young drone girls at the playground. Seriously, which one of you is in charge here?

 

D. Looking through windows of peoples houses to see if they're abandoned. Aka: where the hell is the failsafe to this place]

"I CAN'T say its not some weird virtual simulation, but I've been in those and generally, it doesn't hurt as much when you get hurt in those as it does here so I think its something more sinister. Like I said earlier, there are a bunch of brains working on it, and they have a paper at the library on it all. Its all really over my head though, I was a super hero back home, not a brain."

[littlemiss101.livejournal.com]

Superhero? Like in comic books?

[boostedfailure.livejournal.com]

"I guess. I mean I try!"

[littlemiss101.livejournal.com]

Strange.

[Just going to get some more water and then walk over to her food. Ah sweet delicious non radiated food.]

So, there lots of "super heroes" in your world then?

[boostedfailure.livejournal.com]

"Mine? Yeah, there are a bunch of them. Not to say all of us are the best, but its about doing what you can."

[littlemiss101.livejournal.com]

Fighting the good fight?

[boostedfailure.livejournal.com]

"Something like that."

[He shrugs]

"But there are people from a bunch of worlds here."

[littlemiss101.livejournal.com]

Hm...

Well this place seems nice but I'm kinda busy back home. Any groups trying to get out that I can join?

[boostedfailure.livejournal.com]

"There are like 5 of them. But, they don't really seem to know all that much. Every time they get close the town does something that ruins the group cohesion."

[littlemiss101.livejournal.com]

Wonderful.

Guess I'll have to keep my ears open.

So how big is this place anyway?

[boostedfailure.livejournal.com]

"About as big as any small town. Couple of miles. Its not all that interesting either."

[littlemiss101.livejournal.com]

Well the last place like this I was at only had a block, so that's an improvement already.

[boostedfailure.livejournal.com]

"There's also the drones here you have to well.. I guess put up with?"

[littlemiss101.livejournal.com]

How annoying are they?

[boostedfailure.livejournal.com]

"They're the weird, glassy eyed freaks that are out there. They're going to tell you you've lived your whole life here, that everything is normal. There used to be three of them in this house, but since you're here I'm going to say that number is down to two. They're on the streets moving about in their own stupid little routines that never change, they never remember anything you do to them past a day and they're really REALLY creepy if you think about it."

[littlemiss101.livejournal.com]

I see.

So just ignore them then?

[boostedfailure.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, pretty much."

[littlemiss101.livejournal.com]

Well that doesn't sound too bad.

They don't randomly attack do they?

[boostedfailure.livejournal.com]

"I don't think so. They don't do much other than be creepy. Some of the NON drones randomly attack. This town has brought in some scary people."

[littlemiss101.livejournal.com]

Oh, wonderful.

And death doesn't last here, does it.

[boostedfailure.livejournal.com]

"Well, I'm TOLD you remember dying, but, the next morning you are USUALLY fine in your bed. Its not something I'm looking to test though."

[littlemiss101.livejournal.com]

Usually? Is there exceptions?

[boostedfailure.livejournal.com]

"The people in charge put everyone on a murderous rampage the other week and people stayed dead all week. It really is up to the whims of the people running things."

[littlemiss101.livejournal.com]

I see.

How did they do that?

..the getting people to go on a murderous rampage I mean.

[boostedfailure.livejournal.com]

"They said kill so and so or we'll do something horrible to your loved one. Some people went for it, others didn't. But you get enough lunatics with axes around and it ruins the mood."
