Memory 001: Starting over again.

Good morning 625 Topper Street! Usually, the house would be filled with the chatter of the drone!kids and the drone!wife as they start the day all fresh and chirpy. However, this time there's something, or rather someone, who's acting out of the "ordinary" for drones. Rather, when the drone!mum pops up to shake her "daughter" awake, all she gets is a sleepy, "Ten more minutes dad, please...?" Drone!mum shakes her head with exasperation, but gives the teenager the extra time she wants.

Tara is in bed less than that though, as her sleepy mind suddenly realizes that something is not right. Her mom isn't home, she's working out of the country. It's dad who usually wakes her up. And he would NEVER give her ten extra minutes.

Action: 625 Topper Street
Hey Sniper, you have a blonde girl dressed in pyjamas trying to sneak to the phone. She's trying to avoid the drone!mum and the kids, but obviously she's no Spy. However, she does look determined, if not nervous, to get to that phone. Care to speak with her and say hi to your new not!daughter?

Action: Topper Street
She's just had a conversation with her new not!dad, but there's still plenty of things she doesn't get. She's taken to wondering the streets outside now, gaping at the perfect houses and trees that line the entire neighborhood.

Action: School
Mayfield High, there's a new kid who's in town. Tara "Mundy" is looking a little lost though, and she has no idea where the classes are, or even which is her locker. She's going around asking people for help. Maybe she's just waved you over then? Or maybe you see her wandering the corridor? Either way, will you help her out?

Action: Town, after school.
The moment the bell goes, she's out of the place immediately to check out the rest of town. Prison or no, she's not one to turn down the opportunity to go exploring. You might see her around as she checks out the place.

Phone, unfiltered
(She was already told that she had been taken from home, that this wasn't even the USA that she had grown up in. Still, she had to at least try. Her fingers nearly slip as she dials in the number.)
...Dad? Are you there?

Ah--if I knew that, I would very much be on my way home myself now.

[Riza hesitates for a moment]

Dangerous?

Unfortunately, we can't change houses. Being away from your assigned 'home' for too long results in droning. But you are always welcome to come and stay with me for a little while in between. I live on Cunningham lane.

Thanks. I mean, the guy who's supposed to be my dad...he hasn't tried to hurt me or anything...yet. But he doesn't seem to mind killing or hurting people, especially the ummm, "drones". I think he's an assassin. He doesn't seem to be very safe to be around.

May I ask his name?

[Riza frowns.]

There are several people around town who I am sure will be happy to help you, but do be careful yourself..

He says his name is "Sniper". I think he's Australian because he's got the accent and he lives on the roof of the house. But thanks for the offer. I'll be trying my best to stay out of his way as much as I can, but if he tries something...would it be OK if I called you? I'm Tara, by the way.

Ah, I do think I know who you are talking about.

I haven't spoken to him much, but I wouldn't worry too much about him. He's strange, but I haven't found him to be particularly threatening. He's offered to help me get ammunition and a rifle if I were ever in a pinch.

[Sorry, kiddo. She has an automatic rapport with snipers in general, and Sniper has actually not done much to raise any red flags in Riza's eyes. Yet.]

If he makes you uncomfortable, however, then it is best you be careful and go with your instinct.

Really? I mean...he threw one of the kids in the house around, and he tried to get them to shoot each other or something. He hasn't tried to hurt me, I guess, but, well...normal people don't go around trying to give a teenager beer and shoot people for a living.

[Riza's expression changes, and she frowns.]

I see. I didn't know of that behavior...knowing that, I'm more inclined to agree with your take on him.

Are there other people here who I should be careful off? Like, villains or criminals.

[Riza pauses, thinking.]

Off the top of my head, I would suggest you be wary of Lust, Greed, the Black Mage and the Joker. I'm certain there are other people to be careful of, but off the top of my head I can't think of anyone else right now.
