22nd Inning

[Well Scout is unhappy. Seeing two of his favorite ladies, Tifa and Mia both droned really pisses him off, especially since he had just seen Mia fine the other day. Then when he goes to check in on his pal Engie to see how his progress on the gas masks for the town is going, he's droned too. AGAIN.]

What the hell's goin' on around here?

[He'll also make his way to 1664 Nelson, looking for Spy. He's got a stack of papers and he looks none too happy. Knock knock.]

[Ouch. That had to suck.]

No, the only thing I'm making is coffee. Did something happen that would have caused it?

it's the infamous Scout!Pout

Not as far as I know. Friggin' Engie never comes out of his garage, I just saw Mia the other day an' she was fine... Tifa I hadn't seen in a bit but I hadn't heard anythin'...

[thenorthernwall]

[She's not even going to suggest that it's permanent.]

Well, knowing you and the company you keep, they probably did something interesting to cause it.

[He frowns at that.] Ok, Engie? Maybe. Happenin' ta him so much I'm startni' ta think he likes it 'r somethin'. But the girls? No way.

...wrong account. Too lazy to change.

Do they skip work or wear anything unusual? Perhaps they annoyed one of the neighbors. It's any number of things. You've seen how easily people get droned. All Dist did was sleep.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

...I dunno. Maybe. Yeah, I mean, Ema didn't do anythin', she got droned then disappeared and woke up in another house an' doesn't remember a thing. So friggin' weird.

[destinybreaking.livejournal.com]

...She returned?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Yeah, how shitty is that? When I got back from Westport there was a new drone wife in the house. The next day I got a call from Ema. It was... creepier than I thought it'd be.

[destinybreaking.livejournal.com]

Where does she live now?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

I dunno. I ferget which street. She's gonna stop by sometime to try 'n figure out what mighta happened, but I can't tell her much more than I already did. But she don't remember me or Ai.

[destinybreaking.livejournal.com]

Let me know how that goes.

[You can practically see the gears turning in her head.]

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sure. But like I said, I dunno what good it'll do. But it's worth a shot? Maybe we can jog her memory.

[thenorthernwall]

It could be an important piece of information, if you do. Good luck.
