[60] there's no room for innocence
[Phone 1]
I suppose it's that time again, isn't it? New people everywhere, and a census to boot? You'd think they would know exactly how many people are here, seeing as they brought us here individually, but I digress.
For all of our newcomers, my name is Dist. Many of you have been here for a week or so and have likely come to understand the basics of Mayfield already. I'm here to expand your working knowledge, being the gracious neighbor that I am; I've written up a letter just for you, detailing the most important information you're likely to need, as well as a timeline of events that are significant to our understanding of the town.
Anyone may come by the Mayfield Library to pick up a copy, or multiple copies, for themselves; ask a drone where it is if you don't already know. I will be the man with pale hair and glasses; you'll know it's me because I happen to be gorgeous.
[Action]
[And, like always, Dist can indeed be found in and out of the stacks, mostly keeping himself busy out of boredom. This job? Not the most exciting.]
[Phone 2]
[Later in the evening, and filtered from the usual suspects.]
I have realized that I cannot continue to be effective in my investigations without a more thorough working knowledge of this world and its history. Since the library has a notable lack of history books, I will need someone to inform me. Even after being here as long as I have, all I've gleaned is that America is apparently amazing and Communists are bad. This is, you understand, not enough.
We will not be going over all of this on the phones. We will arrange a time and a place and meet up then. Don't disappoint me.
(ooc: like before, if you're just interested in the letter and not CR with Dist, you don't need to go through the motions of threading to get one. ^^ He'll be handing them out to everyone, so if you would prefer not to thread it out you can just assume your character was given one and sent on their way.)

[Probably a letter, but someone who insults him right off will have to ask for it specifically.]

I came here for the instruction manual or whatever to this town.
no subject
It's not really an instruction manual; it's just a compiled list of what we know so far. An introduction, if you will.
[He produces one (http://buildstherobots.livejournal.com/12857.html) from inside his coat and hands it over.]

This is NOT cool.]
You mean to tell me I'm locked up in a Hell version of Leave It To Beaver!?
How do I get the fuck out of here!?
no subject
If I knew how to get out, do you think I'd be standing here talking to you?
no subject
So, some psycho little girl named Lucy is behind all this?
Man, this is screwball beyond belief.

At the post office?
'Cause I would really like to get my chompers back.

I had to build this myself after it was taken. And they took it bloodily.
no subject
Whoa!
Hm.
I'm gonna have to contemplate this one... I have a bit of a healing factor, but I don't know if I can do regeneration.
No wonder they got all you guys under control.
