... Hello? Is anyone there?

[A very confused-sounding teenage boy can be heard over the phone lines. He's silent for a few seconds, but he speaks up again, his voice is a little quieter, as if he was talking to someone else

Hi!

[inferior_lady]

[Oh, so the phone lines weren't cut after all! Too bad he thought he got through to the police.] Ah, hello! Am I speaking to a member of the police department?

[hourai_branch]

Nope. He's not going to help anyway.

[inferior_lady]

... What are you talking about? My sister and I have been kidnapped! Of course he'll help us!

[need_a_smoke]

The phone lines aren't cut. I hear you just fine.

If you think you got kidnapped...well...you're mostly right. Heh.

[eminent_lady]

Kidnapped? Really? I had hoped I was wrong.

[need_a_smoke]

Well, you're kinda wrong and kinda right.

We're in some kind of insane world of magic or...well..something. I sure as hell can't make sense of it.

Place is called "Mayfield," an adaptation of sugar-sweet sitcom-style suburban life in 1950s America.

You can't get out, if you reach the end of town you pop up at the opposite end.

You, just like us, are stuck. Keep a low profile and you'll be fine.

[eminent_lady]

This is a lot to take in all at once.

[k1_sauce]

Yes, a new cute girl! Come on, answer!

H-Hey, don't you worry!

[inferior_lady]

[Too bad Keiichi, the girl's not answering. Actually, she is. You just don't know it. But the boy sounds a bit hesitant as he talks.]

Ah, I think we'll be fine... our suspicions have been confirmed, at least. But there are so many things that still don't make sense...

[k1_sauce]

...Damn it. Mission failed.

Yeah, you'll be fine. If you or that girl with you need any help, you can count on Maebara Keiichi to help.

[inferior_lady]

Okay then, Keiichi. I'll be sure to call if we need your assistance.

I'll be sure to let my sister know, too. [Hey, Mariya told her to act like a good brother, so she will. Even though she finds the thought of a guy being trapped by Mariya amusing.]

[badend_tsundere]

Ah... More new people, huh?

[inferior_lady]

... Are people brought here often?

[badend_tsundere]

Pretty much seems like it, yeah. Lots of us have been kidnapped here. It's kind of a bummer.

[inferior_lady]

Has anybody been able to find out anything about our kidnappers? If there are really a lot of people from other places here, and some people have been here for quite a while, surely someone's been able to gather a bit of information...
