004. la vérité. (stage 3)

[un_beau_coquin]

[Avoiding people has been harder and harder for him lately. The drones are staying at home, even though his housemates have been recently replaced with non-droned citizens. His "doting" drone wife keeps nagging at him to stay at home after dark, that there were communists out there looking to kill innocent people.

Spy isn't too concerned about dying

A. (He's at stage 2)

[ All the phone calls are freaking Firo out, so he heads for the park, hopefully there he won't have to hear about so-and-so being a murderer or stealing all the cookies. He spots Spy and trots over; he wants to make sure he's okay after the July 4th madness. ]

Hey. Is your accent back for good?

[un_beau_coquin]

[Spy perks up immediately when he hears someone address him. With a quick once over, he's able to identify that this person is not a drone, so he lets out a quiet breath and offers Firo a small smile.]

Oui. I am indeed French, born and raised in zhe elegant country, and I definitely 'ave not lived in zhis ridiculous American town my whole life. Unfortunately, you will 'ave to deal wizh my "silly accent".

[ Firo smiles back ]

I suppose I will; can't teach an old dog new tricks.

But I was wonderin', did you notice people actin' weird today?

[un_beau_coquin]

[He's quiet for a while.] Oui, I 'ave. Zhe drones are being especially nervous, and everyone seems to be confessing to some sort of sin on zhe phones...

[His mouth twitches.] I myself 'ave been avoiding zhe ozzers. Zhe state of zhe people is worrying me, and I am afraid zhat even I will begin to admit to zhings I would razzer not.

[Like right now. He bites his lip, but attempts to keep a straight face.]
