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.

[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.)

Can't tell you much 'bout America, but I've been all over mosta the rest of the world.

[Beat.]

... About 30 years ago, anyway.


[He sounds boorishred, Dist. You may want to consider your reply carefully!]

Oh, wonderful. I'm so glad you decided to share that with me.

Maybe you can still be useful, though. What are Communists?

Hey. I said there was a dead zone, didn't I? I... guess they popped up then? Whatever they are...

I'll ask someone else about them. So, if this is the 50s, you are from the 20s?

[Years here don't have nearly as many days as they do back home.]

Close enough. Last time I paid attention to the year it was... 1915, I think.

[I've covered wars, you know?]

And what significant events were happening at that time?

War. All over Europe, good bit of Asia too.
