6th Sphere: Totally done with this

[child_abuser]

[Filtered from drones]

Okay, I've had it with this damn town.  We can't get out, everyone who lives here is boring, and now I'm hearin' about gettin' droned and shit if you try to do anything about it.  But there's gotta be way more of us than there are of them.  So, I got a couple of questions:

Who's Grady and where do I find 'im?

How do I talk to

... Oh, by all means, go take on the powers that be. I'll be over here, laughing when you're droned.

[child_abuser]

So you've given up too, just like the rest of 'em?

[weaponsparked]

Hardly. However, I've been here long enough to know that it won't do much good.

[child_abuser]

Yeah? So what's your plan, then? Sit around and hope for the best?

[He'll just stare at it. Jecht? His name wasn't Jecht. He makes a mental note to stop at the hardware store later to buy some of those little stickers to at least put 'Gjelstad' somewhere on it.]

...At least he got a new one, Jotun. Don't complain about i--I know. [pause] ...I know. I can handle myself though, don't worry. So what if I'm small? I can still knock Narve down to the ground, right? [And he seems to nearly collapse from the unseen force hitting him in the back. Trolls, oy vey.]

[dragon_empath]

Hmph. Well, at least someone here is thinking correctly. Just don't get in my way.

But, since you're going to try: Grady is the chief of police. The Mayor is apparently not in. And which drone family? There are dozens.

[child_abuser]

Nice attitude there. Glad somebody else is on the same page as me.

Anyway, 'bout that family - your guess is as good as mine, kid. I just heard there's one family that's always drones, no matter who shows up.

[dragon_empath]

Only fools and cowards don't try to change their circumstances when they need changing.

Haven't heard anything about them. Why are they even relevant, or did these rumours you heard neglect to say even that much?

[child_abuser]

Fools and cowards. Right on, man.

Anyway... didn't really hear much about why that family's important. Doesn't seem like too many people know about 'em in the first place. The guy I heard it from just said he knew they were suspicious. Thought I'd see if anybody else knew anything, that's all.

[bloodon_myknife]

Well there is a nice list. Seems me and you have something in common mate.

Grady'll come to you if you start trouble. Or if you call him out. Try getting someone to call the police.

The Mayor I am guessing is at City Hall.

As for "the" drone family. I am not quite sure what you are talking about. I know a few drones scattered about but nothing special there.

As for droning. Seems temporary for most but sometimes it gets a tad more permanent. If you fear losing in the permanent sense and just being another Mr. I love this bloody place drone, then I suggest you back down now.

[child_abuser]

Call the police, City Hall, nothin' on the drones. Got it. And don't worry, I'm not afraid of a little brainwashing. I've had it worse than that and lived.

[bloodon_myknife]

Good to hear.

Also, I took on Grady once so far head on. That's a mistake. He teleports, or something, faster than you can blink. He can also "drone" you before you can take another shot at him.

If you want the company I could use another shot at him. I'd like to find a weakness.

[child_abuser]

Wouldn't mind findin' out on my own what we're dealin' with here. Not that I don't trust you, but I wanna see this jackass with my own two eyes. I like to know who the enemy is.

[freakinblur]

[This sounded all too familiar to Scout. He practically said the same exact things not long after he got here.]I'm with ya, pally, 100 percent. Don't think that I don't spend practically every moment tryin' ta think of a way outta this. I tried a heavy-handed way 'a gettin' outta here tha first time, an' it kinda went south. Mayfield's used ta tha violence from people here an' their prepared ta deal wit' it. Ya start fightin' people, start makin' too much noise, you'll get nowhere fast. Believe me, I know. That's why I'm tryin' a more subtle approach

[child_abuser]

Nice. Sounds like you been pretty busy. This Grady sounds like a real twisted fucker. Little girl must be somethin' pretty special to be able to control a guy like that, too. Anyway, if you need some muscle sometime, you let me know. I dunno what bein' droned is like, but I bet it's worth it just to punch one of these assholes in the face.

[freakinblur]

Damn right, pally. Not time ta rest in this lousy place.

Thanks, I'll let ya know. We might need some people soon, but we're tryin' ta keep it small. I'll keep ya updated.

Bein' droned SUCKS, man. Yer all like, "Oh gee golly, ain't Mayfield great? Sure it is, other stupid drone guys! I love my pointless job too, an' I can't wait ta get back ta my fake family!" Christ. Ain't ever lettin' THAT happen again.

[child_abuser]

Long as I keep comin' back from it, it can happen as many damn times as they want. All it's gonna do is piss me off more and make me fight even harder. A real ace never gives up that easy.
