Well, the first rule of Mayfield is pretty simple. Don't drink the milk. At least, not the milk the Milkman puts outside every morning. Just trust me on that one.

I'm not kidding! That stuff will kill you. Or possibly worse.

Then again, death here isn't really permanent. ...Still, I wouldn't try it.

As for other rules? I don't really think there are any, besides trying not to upset our 'captors'. They can get pretty violent and moody.

How many extra lives do we get? Surely there has to be a limit. The game creators wouldn't be so foolish as to give us infinite lives.

[ The resident "pet" wanders into the room. He stares at the boy for a long moment ]

The real what?

Keima sighs. "The real world, of course. ... At least, my real world."

He turns around and is greeted by the resident "pet." If he's surprised he is not showing it.

[ Edit: sorry, I derped it up! ]

Astute. Most people wander around town in their pajamas before figuring that out.

He adjusts his glasses. "Of course. I am familiar to these scenarios. ...in games."

The rules are all over the place and the writers aren't even available to get a hold of. There's not even a way to progress.

Who needs to break it when it was never there? :D abravelikehero May 13 2011, 06:45:07 UTC
Eh?

[Now that it was mentioned there was a great similarity wasn't there?]

I-I'm not an extra life, you don't really need one anyway I mean, no one stays dead.... Unless you've come to kill me and take over my life. But I don't remember seeing any duplication squares.

"It's as I'm understanding. Though the important question is if lives are finite or not."

"... What's our angle? Is this a player vs player game? Group quest?"

[...See Miku facepalm.]

Ah...well, you know the creepy people who say you've been there all your life? They're called drones, and if you're not careful you could turn into one. And you can get your stuff back every month or so, but you'll have to go through something really embarrassing or really scary to do so. There's the Post Office, but you'll have to give something up to get something back. Ah, and don't drink the milk, it's poisoned.

"Those NPCS are called drones? Very well... This Post Office. Tell me more. What would I have to give up in order to get what back?"

"... Don't drink the milk? Poisoned?"

Ah, from what I heard, you'd have to give something very important to you up for something else.

Yeah, but that's just what I heard.

"Money? How can I give something if I they took it all from me to begin with? Do they want body parts or anything?"

[It's after class hours and she's on some errand, before stopping at the new face outside of the Post Office.

...

The last guy she saw coming out of it last week was missing an arm, an eye, and some internal organs. She wasn't interested in seeing a repeat. If he looks up, he'll see her looking back with crossed arms and a small frown.]

You're not really thinking of going in, are you?

"I want my games."

Keima is standing up again with his arms crossed along his chest. He turns to you.

"What can you tell me about this place?"

Just games? It's not worth it. The last person that I saw coming out of there had an eye and an arm missing, as well as some internal organs. The Post Office is really a last resort, so please don't think of using it for something trivial. You're aware of the prices, aren't you?

[A small nod.] Though being new would explain your ignorance. That would depend... What do you already know, so that I don't repeat myself?

Keima produces a folded up familiar introductory letter to Mayfield.

"There's much to be answered. The motive we are here. What exactly we trade in for my games. How and why we have extra lives when we die."
