Security: Filtered from drones.

[There is a consistent, if dull, thumping on the door in the background that is being promptly ignored by the speaker who sounds calculating, if tired.]I have some questions about our less normal... Housemates in this town; those who seem more or less brainwashed. Do they need to eat regularly, like we do? What

Yes, they eat their meals and relieve themselves and everything like that like us! I know it's a little scary to believe, but a lot of drones are just normal people brainwashed--people from other worlds, like us!

It's also been seen before that they can fight the brainwashing, albeit for not very long before going back. Especially under extreme pressure, and definitely when their past lives are brought up.

I've been leaving him his meals in the bedroom, so I don't think he's starved just yet. Has anyone found a working method of pushing these people into a sense of normalcy?

[best_papa_evar]

Ah, um... I'm afraid no one's really been able to return them to any sort of normalcy. But we're trying to see what we can do.

[glasscaseflower]

That's really sad.

[wafels]

Well, they still... I think they have as much bodily needs as anyone else, but it's their mind that's all screwy.

[glasscaseflower]

And it is not possible at all to send them to an... Institution of some sort?

[wafels]

What sorta institution? I mean, as far as the town thinks, they're the normal ones and we're the screw-ups.

[glasscaseflower]

That's a very distressing prospect.

I suppose I should let him out of the cellar, then.

[lotuslife]

I believe they're mostly normal.

[glasscaseflower]

[Sighs]

I will have to start living with this person as a roommate, then.

[hourai_branch]

Well they act like they need to eat regularly.

Sometimes they don't notice bad things though.

[glasscaseflower]

At least I've been feeding him so far.

[hourai_branch]

He should be fine.

If you're lucky, he'll be replaced soon.

[glasscaseflower]

Oh, believe me, I'd been living someone who was worse.
