First Key: Awakening

[Action: 7134 Brooks Lane]

[Marvelous sits up, the morning sun stinging his eyes into a state between open and shut. Which was funny since he had CLOSED the window in his bunk last night since it had started to get a bit chilly.

As his eyes creep open, he begins to see something amiss. White. The room was white. Which assuredly is NOT the interior of the Galleon at any stretch. Now his eyes are wide open.

Soon out of bed, he notices his clothes and a ring that are not his own, and in a quick and increasingly frantic effort he can't find his Mobirates ANYWHERE in the room, nor any sign of his crew]

Is this some kind of Zangyack trick? Where the hell am I?!

[Phone:Public]

[Voice: Most assuredly frustrated, playing up the slight gruffness his voice always has]

All right. Now you listen up and good: I have three questions. Who the hell are you; where is this place, and where is my damn crew!? You have 3 seconds to answer before I go and find out myself.

Marvelous! Is that you?

[Not quite the voice he was expecting, but it does do his mood some good.]

Luka! Good, you managed to get free of...whatever this is. Where're the others?

That's what I want to know! Is Ahim with you? Is she okay?

No. No one. Just these....strange people that claim they're my family.

Joe should be able to handle himself. Hopefully either Doc or Ahim are with him or together.

Do you have your Mobirates? Mine's been taken.

I hope you're right. I've been here for a week now, I think? Haven't heard from anyone else yet.

Yeah, they took my Mobirates too. They even took my rings. All of them. Ugh.

[If Luka could see Marvelous' face, she would have seen the abject fear that came along with what she'd just said].

Well, I know now to let you have your shots first whe we find our kidnappers.

Doesn't feel remotely like Zangyack...does it?

[Marvelous is lucky he missed the hissy fit she threw when she first found that out.]

Oh you bet I'll give it to them good.

I doubt it's them. Our kidnappers seem too competent to be from the empire, you know?

All too well. In particular the part we have to deal with.

Stupid spoiled prince.

Seriously. If the Zangyack could come up with the idea of kidnapping us and stealing our Mobirates? We'd been screwed long time ago.

[She hesitates about telling him the next part. Well, Marvelous will find out soon anyways, knowing that guy.]

You know who I did run into here though? [Sighs] Your old friend is here.

They can't even send spies right.

[Uh-oh...that implication doesn't sit well]

You don't mean...

I'm afraid so, but yeah.

Hoshino Ruri. Mayfield. I don't know, they probably weren't kidnapped with you.

Kidnapped? By who?

[Kidnapping a pirate=dangerous business]

The town of Mayfield.

By the town? An entire town of people decided to kidnap me. For what reason?

No, not the people. Most of us have been kidnapped. There is a certain sinister sentience to this town.

[OK....now Marvelous is looking around the room....slightly creeped out]

That would explain the strange demeanor of the people in this house.

Do they seem to think you are a family and have always lived there?

Those are drones, they quite probably once were normal people, but the town drove them mad and stole their sentience.

Yeah. To the point where they've placed this gaudy ring on my finger.

So, they're this...town's...slaves then?

[He's starting to feel sorry for them now, despite the creepy factor]

That's one way of looking at it. If someone in your home is replaced by a captive, the drone will vanish. Its... Kind of scary sad.
