Creation 5

[Phonecall to one and all! The voice coming over the line is hushed and irritated.]


...good people of Mayfield. I require assistance. Something strange has happened to my housemate. Zevran. Tall blonde fellow? Yes. He uh...

[there's a pause, and the sound of things being moved about]

Well I can't go into detail here. Not very safe, you see. All I know is this: he woke me up this morning about doing something to the Milkman who, as I have also recently found out is suspicious indeed! I don't know what, exactly, but I'm sure violence was involved. After all...

[Another pause, another sound of shifting]

Forgive me. I don't trust this barricade. Ah, yes, anyway, there's that other drone fellow in the house, the one who calls me his brother? Yes, it seems Zevran has seen fit to stab him to death at the kitchen table. And then sort of gave me a look that said, "Oh Cynric, you might be fun to stab as well! Let me try!" Not much acting like himself, not even close. I told him he was going to get droned, but I thought drones were a brainless, peaceful lot! This is most certainly not the case. Why did no one warn me this is what happens when you're droned.

I think I can get out from my bedroom window. But just a fair warning, dear Mayfield, 1669 Nelson Street is not a safe place tonight!

[With that, the phone hangs up. Cynric will be found not long afterwards scrambling out of his bedroom window and trying to make it into a nearby tree to climb down. Curse his short limbs.]

[[OOC - Zevran-mun doesn't want to play out drone!Zev, but if your characters come to their house, you'll be met with a decidedly homicidal, not-very-Zevran-like Zevran. You might get seriously injured/murdered. Cynric will be staying away, that's for sure.]]

[VIOLENT DRONE?! Guess who's going to be all over this shit.

Armed with a kitchen knife (it's the best thing she could get her hands on), Margot is sprinting up Nelson towards the house at 1669. At seeing the boy trying to escape, she'll pause to hover over him.]

What the fuck is going?!

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

[After almost slipping several times, and with the help of a jumprope, Cynric made it out unscathed. He's not exactly thrilled to see another person with a knife, thanks.]

Hey now! I've had enough of those for today! [Shooing motion]

[resurrectinto.livejournal.com]

[...Hides it behind her back. Because that helps, right?]

What's going on?

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

Are you here about Zevran? If only I knew. Went and done something stupid, and now he's stabbing people. Not sure hoe it happened. [Hands on hips, just looking irritated more than anything.]

[resurrectinto.livejournal.com]

I am. You said that he was droned and he's still stabbing people? As a drone?

[She's peering over the top of his head, which isn't all that hard now that she's a couple inches taller and he's so short.]

May I go inside and see?

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

Well of course you're free to do as you want, if getting stabbed is what you're aiming for! Honestly, I'd stay away.

[resurrectinto.livejournal.com]

I was never very good at staying away. Door unlocked?

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

Mm. Possibly. Didn't really had time to check. Do you have a death with, miss? Don't blame me if you get stabbed!

[resurrectinto.livejournal.com]

I have an insatiable curiosity. Be right back!

[And she'll be disappearing into the house, one way or the other.]

[buildstherobots.livejournal.com]

[Well, that is certainly worrisome. After hearing the message, Dist makes his way across to Nelson Street to investigate. It seems that Cynric has already started to make good on his escape.]

Are you hurt?

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

[Wrapping up the jumprope, and dusting himself off] Dist! I, fortunately, am safe. Good lord, do they always get like this when they're intentionally droned?

[buildstherobots.livejournal.com]

I have no idea, but you'd think that we'd have heard about it if this sort of thing were common. I was droned for attacking Town Hall but as far as I know I didn't end up violent.

...Where are you going to stay?

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

Town Hall? You should be saving attacks for this Milkman fellow. Obviously the dangerous sort, that one. Good cover, I must say. Never suspected him for a moment!

...I hadn't thought that far ahead. How long do people usually stay droned and murderous?

[buildstherobots.livejournal.com]

You can stay at my house. We have a free couch.

What happened?

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

[He grins.] Excellent! That solves one problem. Thank you.

Well. Zevran said something about the Milkman being suspicious, and he was going to deal with it somehow. He then chased me from the house. When I got back a few hours later, he was acting, well, not much like himself! I'm not sure what he did, but I'm certain it involved violence, and that he didn't accomplish what he set out to do. I can't even being to fathom what happened to him.

[buildstherobots.livejournal.com]

More suspicious than everything else in this town? I couldn't knock down City Hall with a giant fighting robot; now that's suspicious.

...I hope the droning isn't permanent.

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

Really? I suppose that's highly suspicious as well. It must be pretty tough if you couldn't knock it down with the Kaiser!

... me too. I told him it would be a waste if he was!

[buildstherobots.livejournal.com]

It was proected by something; that's the only explanation. Whatever they have here instead of artes.

Well, a waste, and you can't stay with me forever. I think they'd drone you.

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

Ah, a magical barrier? And me still without my spellcasting! Perhaps I should investigate some time anyway.

What?! Why would they drone someone for that?

[buildstherobots.livejournal.com]

I'll go with you. I want to know how to make the Kaiser useful against that thing.

...Probably to keep us from forming groups within our ranks. So we don't just move in with the people we like and away from the drones.

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

Excellent! Two heads are always better than one.

_{[[ooc, I want to get to this but I'm going to be busy for like the next 5 days. D: Sooo maybe sometime next week.]]}

[buildstherobots.livejournal.com]

Very true. Especially when one head is mine.

[That is fine! We will log when you get back. :D]

Kihihihihihihi!
