[50] with no one else to turn to!

[buildstherobots]

Well well, it seems as though we have quite a few new arrivals, don't we? Well, unlucky as you are to have been brought here, you do have the amazingly good luck of having me here to guide you! It just so happens that I've written up a comprehensive letter to poor souls such as yourselves, detailing out everything you could possibly need to know about our delightful little town.

I highly doubt you would be able to find my assigned "home," so for a few hours you will instead find me located at the park in the middle of town with more than enough to go around. As always, older residents who desire one will also be indulged, what with my truly generous nature after all.

Oh! Truly you should not have any trouble recognizing someone as beautiful as myself, but look for a slender man with white hair. I'm known as Dist the Rose.

[And, sure enough, Dist can be found in the parking lot just outside the park, wearing a new blue coat as his own is rather poor at keeping a person warm. There's a stack of letters on the seat of his motorcycle, probably at least fifty. He's even brought the Cheagle, who is having an inordinate amount of fun playing in the snow.]

[Dist looks up from polishing the motorcycle, then straightens, giving an excited grin. It seems that he still hasn't gotten tired of people coming to him for information and advice.]

Naturally. Be aware, though, it's extremely comprehensive; only a genius such as myself could have put it together.

[He picks up one of the letters to give to her.]

Ah, I'm sure! [Was that a bit of sarcasm? Who knows, as Ringo is quickly scanning the letter.]

... This place is more dangerous than I expected.

[If there's sarcasm there, Dist doesn't catch it. He's too busy puffing himself up.]

You can't be too careful in this place. Many of the inhabitants can't be trusted either, but that you really have to find out by trial and error, because there are so many coming and going.

Oh my... It's... It's a lot to take in. I'm not sure I understand everything yet... And I take it you know of at least a small group of people who are trustable?

[buildstherobots.livejournal.com]

There's a forming resistance. Generally anyone involved with it is trustworthy, at least in my experience. And, of course, I myself have much more information than what is found in the letter!

[befriendthewolf.livejournal.com]

How would I be able to get into this resistance? I may not look like much, but... I've done a lot of tracking and undercover work back home. I'd love to hear more, if you don't mind!

The phones are the most effective means of getting in contact with them; ask for Frederick specifically, I think. What sort of experience do you have?

[befriendthewolf.livejournal.com]

Frederick... I'll try to put out a call soon! Ah, I was part of... a bank, of sorts. We'd do requests for people in our school, and it could get pretty dangerous. I guess you could call me back up? I'd relay information to the fighters, and I'm pretty good at getting information...

[And manipulating people to get her way.]

[buildstherobots.livejournal.com]

Information and machinery are the things I specialize in, so believe me, I know its value! I'm sure you would be a welcome addition.

[befriendthewolf.livejournal.com]

Really?! I'm glad you understand; maybe we could work together eventually!
