So, I see that there are many new people, and you may count yourselves as lucky as you can in this place because Dist the Rose is here to take care of you all. I'm sure you've been informed as to the basics of Mayfield, but I've put together a lovely little primer for just this kind of occasion, giving you all of the details you need to bring you fully up to speed, including the most important things that have been inflicted upon us since the first of us can remember arriving here. If you would like to be informed, then come to the library to pick up a copy. If you can't find it, ask any drone where it is, they'll be able to tell you. Look for a gorgeous man with pale hair; someone as extraordinary as myself will stand out.
[And, just a little louder but no so much so that he's quite up to normal talking level.]
And be sure to pick up your free library card! Knowledge is power and all that.

[And there Dist will be, flitting about, stacking things and shelving things and generally keeping himself busy. He'll also be available to assist anyone who just so happens to be in the library themselves, though every so often he'll have to stop and sit to rest a bit, possibly get down a granola bar outside the view of the head librarian. He can't fit his chair through the door, let alone down the aisles of books, so he's walking everywhere and carrying things and with his condition this tires him out quickly.]

It was wonderfully comprehensive, wasn't it?

People disappear. Stay here for a while, you'll see; all those drones walking around? We think they were all people like us, once. We lose people all the time. Sometimes they come back, usually they don't. Sometimes they don't remember being here when they do come back.
[He sounds personally affronted by the whole thing.]

I just lost a week.

It's notoriously inconsistent. I've been murdered with no repercussions to my murderer, and some have gotten droned for minor crimes committed in the streets. No one knows what the limit is. Just don't mess with Grady; he attacks and drones at the drop of a hat.
