Uno: When in Doubt Blame America

[He wakes up and blinks slowly. This isn’t his house. He can tell just from laying there. This place is too....he looks around and after a bit of searching finds the phone. Have an incredibly angry Cuban yelling at you Mayfield, thick accent included]

America!

What do you think you’re pulling, kidnapping me like this?

If this is another one of your stupid schemes to kill my boss, I swear....

[There's a pause as he sighes and looks around.]

Shit. Your house is worse than I thought.

And has anyone explained why all of this happens?

They're not exactly the talkative type. Excluding spouting utter garbage of course.

The authorities here pretend to be ignorant and if too many questions are asked or you rebel in any way they brainwash you into acting like one of their drones.

Those being the regular residents. Easy enough to recognise. Lots of smiling, vacant expressions and treat you like you've been here all your life.

....that would explain the signorita who seems convinced we are married.

What do you mean by brainwash?

You act like one of them. Ie. you'll completely forget your real identity for a period of approximately twenty four hours or so and act like a complete moron. Your biggest concerns will be nonsense like mowing the lawn, work, your fake wife and children etc.

Nobody's sure how they do it.

Wonderful.

And we are traped in this town with these "fake" people?

How many of us are here?

[riflerosti.livejournal.com]

A large number. Almost all of Europe at the very least.

All of Europe?

Mi Dios....

This makes no sense.
