[Phone call filtered from drones:]

A lot of people have come into town recently. This is pretty odd, considering they usually trickle in instead of coming in so close together... it makes me wonder what are captors are up to.

At any rate, ah, to all the new people out there? My name is Crowe, and if you need any help, let me know. I've been here a long time now, so I can fill you in on any details if you like. There's also a pamphlet available if you haven't seen it. I know some others have been handing them out, and I've been leaving them in mailboxes as well. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask. It's fair that everyone who comes into this town knows what they've been brought into. Valentine's Day is coming up next month, and ah, things tend to get a bit ugly around holidays here. Don't trust anything the town just drops off in your house overnight, alright?



Ah, Mr. Holmes? I've finished up that copy of the journal I was talking about. If you want, I can just leave it in your mailbox as well. Whatever is convenient for you.





Ah. Um. I-I was wondering if you'd like to do something this weekend. It's my birthday this weekend, you see, and... well I don't want to make a big deal out of it, but it would be nice to, um, maybe do dinner or the movies or something?



[Action! Crowe will be found at the park today, despite the snow and cold, as he hates being inside so much. He'll be out today practicing the tae kwon do he's been learning from Taiwan in a clearing he's made in the snow. He's still new at it, but he's in good shape and a dedicated student, so he's doing pretty well. Care to interrupt/say hi/challenge?]

Alright. I can drop it off now, if you like. Do you want to meet somewhere? Ah, can I ask your name?

It's Peter Parker. I'm at, uh... 946 Beulah?

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-01-21 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay. I'll be by in a bit, okay?

[And he will be! With a knock at your door.]

[He opens up.]

Hey. Crowe, right?

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-01-22 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Right. You must be Peter then? Nice to meet you. [He offers a hand for a handshake, and he also has a pamphlet for you.] This should answer a lot of questions you might have.

[He shakes Crowe's hand, then takes the pamphlet.]

How long have you guys been making these?

[identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com 2011-01-23 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
A man in town named Dist put them together a few weeks ago. It covers a lot of info. But if you have any other questions, I'll be glad to help.


[[OOC - the link to the info (http://buildstherobots.livejournal.com/12857.html#cutid1) in case you don't have it!]]

[He takes a look at the pamphlet and reads it once, then scans through it again just to make sure all the important basics are covered.

No powers. Not at first, anyway. But the bit about the postman catches his eye as well.

"Be aware, however, that a price will be exacted, and that price could be a body part, memories, or one of your belongings or powers that has already been returned to you. I suggest you only use the post office when you are in desperate need of one of your things."]


Say you were to actually, like... use the post office. Whatever you've got to give up in order to get one of your---

[He almost says "powers" but catches himself]

---items back, can't you just, y'know? Get that back too? Like, if I lost a memory of someone. Or something. I could get it back, right?

[This is dangerously approaching One More Day territory.]

Well, I've heard that people who give up something at the post office now have a chance of getting them sent back later. But I've never used the post office. Not only do they have nothing to offer me personally, I don't trust the Postman. At all.

...gotcha.

...gotcha.

<small[It's a reckless gamble, that's for sure. But if he has the opportunity to get his powers back and start helping people now, and doesn't take it? Wouldn't <i>that</i> be the more irresponsible action? Peter sighs, deep in thought.]</small>

If you weren't here for Christmas, he... he did a lot of terrible things to us. And then he mailed everyone ballots about voting to go home or stay, then tried to out people who voted to stay, as if we'd turn against them. If you go to the post office... just be careful, yeah?

[identity profile] seriousbigtime.livejournal.com 2011-01-25 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
...sure.
