[60] there's no room for innocence

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.)

Do you think it might be Maipole again?
[[He really doesn't want to know what that was like.]]
Re: 1)
...I hope it isn't. And whatever caused Maipole, I'd imagine they'd take precautions that it doesn't happen again. That experience was wretched.

I don't want to see what happens really, I wish we could hide.

[[Time to agree with Dist. Dist is smart, this can't possibly go wrong.]]
KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON
We watch. Investigate, like we did with the highway, but this time looking for real information. Death here doesn't scare me any more; I intend to make full use of whatever happens. If you're afraid of them, comply with their demands and funnel what you have to people who aren't. I will be looking to sabotage any plans they have.
[Well, that... does sound more reasonable that usual, at least.]

[[Maybe. Something helpful for once hopefully too.]]
If I get anything, I'll be sure to get it to you.
