02 Apple Fritters | Stage 4? | Backdated to 2 or 3 days after the event started

[With all the supposed fear and panic that the town has tried to recently instill on the residents, such matters actually don't affect a new arrival. Especially one who doesn't watch TV or recieve mail yet. Which is why you'll find someone trotting down the street.

Yes, trotting.

Applejack has decided that if she's stuck here, she might as well be neighborly and introduce herself. So she borrowed her house's kitchen and supplies to make a couple of homemade apple pies. Using years of practice, she keeps them balanced on her back as she moves from house to house, knocking on each door and calling out:]

"Hello? Anypony in there? It's your new neighbor Applejack being friendly and bringing some pie for ya!"

[And no, unless you're a drone who treats her like a dog, or keep her from seeing you in there, she is not leaving until you do answer. Though once answered, she will offer you a nice slice of some delicious smelling apple pie! She'll introduce herself as well, offer to help out if you need it because you're neighbors after all, and she'll also pepper you with questions about the town as she tries to find out more information about Mayfield. She's not being subtle about the questions, but not forceful either, she is genuinely trying to get information in a way she knows how and being sincere in her offers of help and pie.]

((OOC: Applejack is literally going door to door to offer slices of pie and get some answers, as such she's pretty much breathing in massive truth gas. But this is Applejack, who's pretty honest to begin with so it really won't affect her unless she hits Stage 5. So folks who want to respond can just sit back and chat with AJ or try and figure out how to get an orange talking pony off their front porch.))

Nice to meet ya, Pokey.

And yeah, Ah've only been here a few days. Folks have been nice enough to explain what goes on around here but there's still a lot Ah don't know or understand.

Kinda why Ah'm going around to say hello. Not only do Ah get to introduce mahself, but Ah can see if anybody can answer some questions, or help me out.

And who knows, maybe Ah find some folks Ah can help out too. We're all stuck here together, so it just seems the right neighborly thing to do is to see what Ah can do for others.

[Sorry, to busy eating for most of that.]

Yeah well...some of the people here are real jerks self included heh so uh good luck with that.

[He smacks his lips a bit before shrugging.]

But I guess I can try and help. I guess.

Whether they're a jerk or not doesn't matter, there's no reason for me to be a jerk to them if Ah haven't even met them. Better to give everybody a fair shake, wouldn't you say?

But if you want to help, Ah'd appreciate it. Ah'm mostly just seeing if anybody knows a way to contact their actual home. Ah've got kin Ah'm worried about and who are probably worried about me too.

Maybe sometimes. I guess.

....No. There isn't. Sorry. But you can't contact anyone outside of here.

[Applejack looks a little sad at that, but she tries not to let that interfere with making a new friend.]

Ah was worried that might be the case, but a pony still gotta try.

Ah know we're pretty much stuck here too, but Ah heard some folks got out or are trying to leave, so Ah'm looking around for them too.

As far as I know? No one's left. At least, not left by going home. People've been trying to leave for the year I've been here, but as far as I know no one has.

[Applejack looks a little wary about that one part.]

Not left by going home? What do you mean by that? But do you think it's possible somebody left before you got here?

[identity profile] godisachild.livejournal.com 2011-07-23 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
I mean the fact that you can get permanently droned and never revert back.

[Well, that was pretty straightforward. Then again, it's not like he would've been much less straightforward even without the truth gas.]

[Applejack definitely doesn't look too happy about that...]

Seriously? That brain washing thing can be made permanent? Is there a reason that happens to someone?

[identity profile] godisachild.livejournal.com 2011-07-23 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. And not that I know of. Usually droning seems to be used as punishment, but most of the people who've been permadroned that I know didn't deserve it.

Sounds like the town's pretty random with it's residents, is what you're saying, huh? Even if you follow all the rules, you still could end up brain-washed...

Ah'm going to have to be careful about learning about this place, it seems, but Ah'm not the best with things like that. Hopefully Ah can find someone to help me that, at least.
