A New Beginning

This place . . .

Is this . . . Is this a dream?  My sentence.  Could I have been let off?  Wasn't it supposed to -- ?

Or was . . . Was everything else a dream?  But it's all so clear in my mind.  I was so close.  So close to being able to leave it all behind.  That jerk of a doctor . . . That idiotic woman and her plan.  I wish I’d

Dude, this place is like Bizarroland Central.

[if_she_hollers]

Like, yeah! This house is like, out of some weird 20th century fairy tale, and I totally did not pose for these pics. It's just, like, creepy. And what's with this getup? Getting, like, a . . . adducted by aliens is one thing, but knowing they've undressed you is totally ick.

[be_on_your]

Nah, bro, this isn't aliens. It's Mayfield! Totes creepy town run by, like, total wackjobs. What's your name, dude?

[if_she_hollers]

Mayfield? Doesn't sound very occult. Is that like, the name of a graveyard or something.

I'm I -- . . . Yeah. Ini Miney. And I'm, like, not a dude, dude.

[The random people showing up in the house are starting to make Squall slightly paranoid. He opens the door to the room quietly and looking particularly unhappy.]

What are you doing?

[if_she_hollers]

. . . Oh hey! You're, like, one of the guys in these pictures. I'm trying to figure out, like, why I'm in this weird place. I think I might've, like, died and gone to heaven or something.

[paradoxdestined]

... ... ...You're in those pictures.

[Looks her over]

This is Mayfield. It's not heaven. Nobody in this house is your family. Ground rules are stay out everybody's stuff and Madotsuki doesn't go outside unless she wants to. Clear?

[if_she_hollers]

Like, no. Not at all. Lighten up, Mr. Grumpy Pants, and like, turn that smile upside down. You actually expect me to take that explanation? I, like, don't even know who this Madohski is.

[niceaidsmash]

This is Mayfield! Uh, it's kind of weird, but you get used to it. Sort of.

[if_she_hollers]

Like, thanks! I've like, heard that already, too. So like, what sort of weird things are supposed to go on?

[niceaidsmash]

Ummmm... [ponder]

I'm not exactly sure. Being here is pretty weird in itself, though. You get a random family and stuff. And you can't leave town.

[if_she_hollers]

Like, yeah! It's like some sci-fi movie come to life. . . . Hey, they, like, kidnap little kids, too? That's just totally awful.

[yamatopetals]

It's alright, you're in a town called Mayfield.

[if_she_hollers]

Yeah, but, like, what exactly is this place?

[yamatopetals]

Well... that's hard to say. It almost seems like a town in a different time. Many people are kidnapped and brought here, and no one knows how to escape yet.

[if_she_hollers]

Like, yeah! All of my clothes are totally last century. It's so, like, wrong, the way they treated us gals back then. So like, what do you people do here?

[turnedaboutace]

(... is that who I think it is...?)

... Someone's explained the situation, I hope.

That voice.

That voice. It can't be. It can't be! . . . That slimeball of a lawyer . . . What is he doing here.

3/3

[if_she_hollers]

Like, yeah! I know this place is like, called Junefield, and I'm like, supposed to live here forever or something. Like, major bummer.
