A quick recap. [Drone filtered]

[patchworksanity]

Hrm...Things have gotten very interesting lately, wouldn't you agree, citizens?

Naturally, the biggest revelation is that even the almighty Officer Grady answers to a higher power, and he's just as false an existance as any of us, capable of becoming a more standard piece of this puzzle of a town.  The other half of this clue points to one Lucy

Then, you are saying the Smith family on Ricardo have been drones the entire time?

[He hasn't been here as long as Stein, so he never noticed. But Lucy is obviously suspicious]

... As though they are special.

That is exactly what I am saying. The town replaces its residents and makes more homes as nessisary. However, that house always seems to be devoid of change.

What else do you know about them?

[patchworksanity]

They act like the perfect family. The father, John goes out in the morning, presumably after breakfast, comes back in the evening. At exactly the same time every day. The wife, Jane, I don't see much of, though I see her on Sundays when the family goes to church.

Billy and Lucy are both in some of my classes at school, Lucy's a straight A student, even when presented with quantium mechanics. Billy's grades aren't as good, but still constistant regardless of the material given to him. He's a bit more of a troublemaker by "normal" standards, but...Mayfield's hardly normal, as I stated.

They all seem horribly generic and grey.

Action?

*your not!daughter doesn't like the murders being brought up again, but at least she's not collapsing into a ball of tears*

Sure, Action.

Are you feeling better now, Kotomi?

... Kotomi-chan. ((Yes, she's correcting you))

Are you feeling better now, Kotomi-chan?

I definately think that Smith family is worth checking out, for sure, after that. Hughes thought there was something off about them back then, and now it's even more obvious.

[patchworksanity]

...Hrm...perhaps Hughes got a bit too close to the truth, Edward.

He's a drone now.

[braided_icarus]

...Just like back home.

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it...

...Winry seems to be happy, lately. Anything to do with you, perhaps?

[katto_katto]

...The milkman, you say?

[patchworksanity]

Yes. He's done quite a few things, and every time he's been active, it seems like Grady worries more about getting him out of contact with the rest of the town more than anything else.

He nearly took over the Mayor's job, once.

[katto_katto]

Interesting.

My, those are some interesting theories, most of which I share. It is good to know some keep a level head about these matters.
