Memo 001: Meet the Assistant.

A. Action for 1337 Benny Road.

[The first thing Miss Pauling notes when she opens her eyes is how bright the bedroom is. She shuts her eyes tightly, having not yet readjusted to the light. However, when she opens them up again, she immediately notes something else.

The walls around her weren't coloured purple.

Confused, she reaches for her glasses at the bedside table, only to note that they weren't her usual optic wear either. They were just the wrong shape.]

That's strange, where are my glasses...?

[Her hands fumbled around for her familiar pair of spectacles, until she accidentally knocked over the lamp with a resounding smash.]

Ooops.

B. Phone

Hello? Is there anyone there? I...I think I've been kidnapped!

You should always introduce yourself first, yes?
prpl_assistant: (gun)

[personal profile] prpl_assistant 2011-09-12 09:32 am (UTC)(link)
Are...are you the one who kidnapped me?

[identity profile] burnmycapital.livejournal.com 2011-09-12 09:40 am (UTC)(link)
Don't be silly. I would know your name if I had been the one, yes?
prpl_assistant: (Default)

[personal profile] prpl_assistant 2011-09-12 09:47 am (UTC)(link)
So you're not the one?

[She lets out a breath she didn't know she had been holding.]

OK. That's good. My name is Miss Pauling. May I know who I'm speaking to please?

[The man's thick Russian accent gave him away, but having a name to go with the voice would help the conversation along.]

[identity profile] burnmycapital.livejournal.com 2011-09-12 10:11 am (UTC)(link)
My name is Russia, but you can call me Ivan if you prefer that.

[The voice is cheerful and ...too high pitched for a male, which makes it sound very childish.]
prpl_assistant: (listening)

[personal profile] prpl_assistant 2011-09-12 10:31 am (UTC)(link)
It's a pleasure, Mr....Ivan. (She gives the phone a weird look, but continues on with the conversation. At this point, she needs answers, and if some child? Man? Who called himself after his own homeland had them, she needed to know.)

So are you trapped here like me? How long have you been here?

[identity profile] burnmycapital.livejournal.com 2011-09-12 11:24 am (UTC)(link)
Only for a few weeks, but some others have been here for a year and longer. The town does not let people out, you see, at least not when they want.
prpl_assistant: (phone)

[personal profile] prpl_assistant 2011-09-12 11:25 am (UTC)(link)
When they want? What do you mean by that?

[identity profile] burnmycapital.livejournal.com 2011-09-12 01:22 pm (UTC)(link)
None of us can leave this town of our own free will.
prpl_assistant: (Default)

[personal profile] prpl_assistant 2011-09-12 01:25 pm (UTC)(link)
But eventually, will we be able to go home if whoever "they" are want us to?

[identity profile] burnmycapital.livejournal.com 2011-09-12 01:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I was told that people leave sometimes, yes.
prpl_assistant: (Default)

[personal profile] prpl_assistant 2011-09-12 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Then...then that's good, right? We get to go home?

[identity profile] burnmycapital.livejournal.com 2011-09-12 02:07 pm (UTC)(link)
If we have friends or family here, suddenly leaving is very inconveniencing for them, yes?
prpl_assistant: (Default)

[personal profile] prpl_assistant 2011-09-12 02:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I...I guess so. Though I don't really think I have anyone close to me here so far, I just got here after all.

And won't all of us just leave eventually then?

[identity profile] burnmycapital.livejournal.com 2011-09-12 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
It is necessary to protect them while they are here.
prpl_assistant: (listening)

[personal profile] prpl_assistant 2011-09-12 02:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Is there something that they should be protected from?

[identity profile] burnmycapital.livejournal.com 2011-09-12 02:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Sometimes bad things happen.
prpl_assistant: (Default)

[personal profile] prpl_assistant 2011-09-12 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Bad things? [She felt her throat constrict ever so slightly. ] What sort of bad things, Mr. Ivan?

[identity profile] burnmycapital.livejournal.com 2011-09-12 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
There were razor blades in the milk a while ago, and then people went crazy and tried to murder others.
prpl_assistant: (listening)

[personal profile] prpl_assistant 2011-09-12 02:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Something was definitely not right with this Mr Ivan either, she decided. Judging by the calm and childish way he was speaking to her, he either had had a lot of experience with death and dying, or he was missing a few screws loose. But he was giving her a lot of information...]

Alright, I think I got the danger aspect of this place. How about the people aspect? Is there anyone I should look out for, Mr. Ivan?

[identity profile] burnmycapital.livejournal.com 2011-09-12 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
People who have brains, yes? If they look angry or sad or seem out of place in another way, they have ones.

[And she is probably right on both accounts.]
prpl_assistant: (Default)

[personal profile] prpl_assistant 2011-09-12 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
So...anyone who's not acting as if this whole charade is normal, is someone who's stuck here just like us?

[identity profile] burnmycapital.livejournal.com 2011-09-17 01:20 pm (UTC)(link)
That seems to be the most accurate description, yes.
prpl_assistant: (secret)

[personal profile] prpl_assistant 2011-09-17 02:28 pm (UTC)(link)
How about dangerous people? Anyone who I should be wary off? I've been told not to go near the town authorities, but are there any others?

((OOC: Oh Miss Pauling, you have NO IDEA...kol kol kol...))

[identity profile] burnmycapital.livejournal.com 2011-09-17 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ah, he is a perfectly nice man! You just shouldn't be silly...]

There is a German man with glasses who seems to like public displays of killing. [Pondering, is there anyone else...]
