[ACTION: Are you new in town? Wandering around looking lost? Staring and gawking at the drones and identical houses with a growing look of dread across your face?

If so, a tall teenager will shyly approach you. He's carrying a newspaper bag, but instead of the daily news, there are pamphlets poking out. He has a quiet voice and a light Irish accent.]

Ah, um, excuse me. Couldn't help but notice that you, um, seem to be feeling your out of place. I can explain, if you's like.

Um.

N-No one's seriously considering the position of police chief, right? It's so suspicious... what if you get droned into the role, like Grad-- er, Evan Olney probably was?

Comments

[doofenstrudel]

I see. My condolences.

[He puffs up slightly.]

Yes! Of course I am! But I've never done something like this! [He gestures around at Mayfield in general.] What do you take me for?! I'm evil, I'm not a monster!

[Crowe just... blinks at him. He's close family friends with a super villain back home. Comparatively, this guy didn't seem like the type. But that was probably a good thing.]

I-If you say so, sir. "Evil" doesn't quite begin to cover this place.

[doofenstrudel]

You've probably never heard of Heinz Doofenshmirtz... but that is me! I'm... well alright, I'm not exactly notorious, but I'm getting there!

...I was getting there.

[Sigh. This place is depressing.]

Thank you for the information. I should be getting home.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

A-Ah, well, we probably don't come from the same place, yeah? Maybe that's why I never heard the name.

Sure. Um, if you have any other questions, just ask, yeah? My name's Crowe.

[doofenstrudel]

[Yes! A chance to recover some ego points!]

Ah! Right, of course we're not from the same place! It would be only natural that you have not heard of me. Ha ha.

Maybe I'll give you a call, once I've had time to think this all over.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Of course. Dist is the person who wrote this. If you have any new info to give, give him a call.

[doofenstrudel]

I think I will...

[He turns to go, brow furrowed in thought.]
