Uh, hey. This is Scott. I think that's a good start, this is still pretty weird.

I have a question. If I get a call from some weird guy asking why I haven't been to work lately, should I just ignore him? I've been doing that, but he just calls again a day later.

[A pause.]These phones really can't reach the future, right? Can they reach us? A

No, you shouldn't ignore it. The town assigns jobs and if you don't go you get droned.

Seriously?! I don't even know what it is! [Even though he was told on the phone, and didn't bother to remember.]

[weiss_tank]

Oh you haven't gotten that lecture yet huh? The drones are basically the people of this town that think this is their rightful home, and yours. Kinda like back ground characters in a comic book.

The town can temporarily make you think like them if you do something wrong.

[referencer]

That happens if I ignore them?

...

So I can't even ignore my kids?

[wimpyvampire]

The job will give you something to do, at least.

[referencer]

I want something else to do though...

[wimpyvampire]

...

What's your job?

[referencer]

Uh... something boring and lame, I think.

[Read as: I wasn't paying attention either time.]

[dynamic_may_lee]

Oh, you could ignore them.

But they'll brainwash you.

[referencer]

That sucks completely!

[dynamic_may_lee]

Those are the breaks.

[In walks Ramona during the middle of that call.]

What weird guy?

This guy who sounds kind of like them, only... you know, older. He's wondering why I don't show up to work at something or another.
