Ugh, I feel like this is all I do anymore...
Newcomers. Doubtless you've heard the basics of where you've found yourself already, from your so-called "family" or otherwise. Dist the Rose is here to give you a more in-depth explanation; that is, a letter that I myself have been so generous as to compose for you. I'm giving one out to anyone who asks, new or old; for those who have the old version, I've updated it to include the basic gist of what happened last month.
Simply come to either the library or my home, at 1767 Beaver Street. Any drone should be able to tell you where the library is; I'll be in and out of the shelves myself. Look for a slender man with pale hair and glasses.
[Action A]
[If you go to the library earlier in the day, you will indeed find Dist wandering in and out of the rows of books, alternately doing the shelving and sorting that the job requires and peeking through the books himself, pausing every so often to write down a title.]
[Action B]
[On into the afternoon and evening, he's in his driveway, detaching the gun from the Kaiser's belly; it's scorched all to hell and clearly no longer functional. He really has no clue how he's going to fix it without just building a new one from scratch, and without his lab that in itself will be difficult. Dammit, Mayfield.]
(ooc note: if you're not interested in cr with dist, there's no need to post in; you can give your character the letter without threading with me if you'd prefer. ^^ it's out there for you guys; just assume dist gave it to you without incident[shockingly]. a bit of retroactive interaction is fine too, if this shows up before you officially intro; just don't, like... dig it up a week from now if your character wasn't here.)

Date: 2011-04-10 12:12 am (UTC)Oops.
So... yeah, library, in the hopes that maybe he could find something in the history section there, with any luck.
... Wow, this section was... not helpful. History? Hiiiistory? ... Any good history? It was with a touch of relief that he found someone there without a vapid smile or a blank look in their eye, turning a corner to see Dist.
He might as well have been the only other living being on a deserted island]
Excuse me, you wouldn't happen to know if they have any local archives here or anything would you?
Re: A
Date: 2011-04-10 10:33 pm (UTC)Oh, if only it were that easy. No, I'm afraid they keep all the real information well-hidden, although if you'd like gardening tips or pictures of cars I think I can do something for you.
[He gestures to himself.]
Dist. And you are?
Re: A
Date: 2011-04-11 12:34 am (UTC)I really should have seen that coming, huh? Not even past newspaper clippings or anything?
[And he nods]
Abel...
[Dist was it-]
Oh! You're the one with the letters, right? I heard you on the phone earlier...
A
Date: 2011-04-11 03:14 am (UTC)[He grins broadly; he's recognized!]
The very same. You can have one; it's the most comprehensive information that you'll be given freely, I promise you.
A
Date: 2011-04-11 03:26 am (UTC)[Well Dist, he can safely say that so far, you seem pretty recognizable]
Oh I'm sure it is! This place has just been so tight-lipped, and from I hear from the residents- Oh you wouldn't believe what I've heard so far. I'm still not entirely sure if I've just gone insane or what here.
Anything at this point would be a godsend.
A
Date: 2011-04-11 03:35 am (UTC)Every word of this is true. It's also profoundly depressing.
A
Date: 2011-04-11 03:57 am (UTC)... When you say profoundly depressing... How really honestly profoundly depressing are we talking about here?
A
Date: 2011-04-11 04:10 am (UTC)A
Date: 2011-04-11 04:12 am (UTC)A
Date: 2011-04-11 04:13 am (UTC)A
Date: 2011-04-11 04:14 am (UTC)Yeah, you're right, that's pretty profoundly depressing, sir.
A
Date: 2011-04-11 04:32 am (UTC)A
Date: 2011-04-11 04:37 am (UTC)[... That goes a bit beyond just depressing, Dist]
Who would...
Why?
A
Date: 2011-04-11 06:38 am (UTC)A
Date: 2011-04-11 06:46 am (UTC)[Well, he's going through the letter now, skimming, rather]
There has to be some sort of reason behind everything, they wouldn't just... There has to be a point...
A
Date: 2011-04-11 07:07 am (UTC)I've gone over this countless times for countless newcomers. You, at least, seem like you have some sense. You don't have the expectation that you'll just walk in and do something that even I couldn't manage in over a year.
A
Date: 2011-04-11 03:53 pm (UTC)All these people here... They're all just doomed to die? Over and over again...
[As if any reason was ever good enough, but there wasn't even an excuse...]
