[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.)

"How bothersome... Two of those who were contracted to my master are here.. Before the completion of their contracts, and if they learn how they end... It could be very perilous."

In any case, if you manage to go home, we believe you return to the exact moment you were taken.

"Given that the events that occurred occurred at least they did. My own quest is not world shaking, nor terribly important so at least that is something to consider."

It's not related to whatever your quest happens to be at the moment. My quest was over when I was brought here.

[Meaning "wasting away in jail," but that's technically "over." It's just the bad ending.]

"Its not? I simply was trying to understand humanity... But if this place is not the place to do it..."

It might not be. They designed the library to be unfortunately rather useless when it comes to learning things other than what the people in charge want you to learn. I am still working on unlocking its secrets, because I do believe that they must be there. Otherwise it wouldn't be run by a nearly-autonomous head librarian.

"How odd. To clad a place of answers in lies. Were that there a way to contact my master, even if it did mean return to home for a bit."
