Investigation 1

[afterthesky]

[Action for 2238 Stevens Road]

Sarah Jane wakes up rather confused. This wasn't where she was when she woke up. Had she been teleported?

She looks around the house, trying to work out where she is. She quickly comes across the family pictures.]

That's not Luke... is this the Trickster's doing?

[Open action]

[Later in the day, Sarah Jane is continuing her investigations. You might find her:

A. In the shopping district, trying to find a decent newspaper.

B. In the street, patiently explaining to a drone that her name is most certainly not "Mrs. Black".

C. At the library, growing distressed at how much information there isn't.]

The rules?

"The town has some things they make you do. You have to go home every so often, you have to go to work and you have to go to school... well you might not have to but the kids here do.

If you don't you supposedly get temporarily, or permanently, brain washed. I've never really tested that, I don't think I want to."

[Brain washing. It's been a long time since that had happened to her. She can't say she's missed it.]

So basically... keeping up appearances?

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Yeah, something like that.

It's tough but I've managed so far, I think it can be done.

And I'm guessing the employment options are... rather limited? I haven't been able to find a decent newspaper here.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

I think you might already have a job. They kind of just call you up with a warning that you missed a day or two first. I hear it's just if you keep skipping, they do the brain washing.

That sounds in keeping with the way the... drones, you said? seem to think I've always been here.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I guess it's self policing that way.

They were all probably people like us. And now they work for the town.
