002- [Action] Plushies are fundamental

[After being in Mayfield for a few days, Hitler has run out of helpful things to do around the house. So now he's spending a day in the park. You can find him sitting on a bench, with a bag full of ........sewing supplies? Yep, sewing supplies that he got from drone!mom. (Who was really concerned about the request. A boy, sewing? How ridiculous!) So now he's sitting on a park bench happily creating what appear to be tiny stuffed sheep. They're very cute. Besides one for himself, he's also making them for some of the nice people he's talked to since he arrived here. Specifically Roshia, Ukraine, Vince Noir, Steel  Massimo, and Shiro. And maybe a few others. Anyway, sheep. Enjoy the almighty Dolly, Mayfield. Feel free to interrrupt him with curiosity, interest, and/or teasing. ]

Okay! I just need to tie the little bell around it's neck and......there. That's one more done.

....they might have been. It's impossible to tell.

...she was a very nice girl. Wanted a country knickname, so I called her Kiev.

[Capital of Ukraine]

Kiev? That's pretty clever.

[He hesitates, clearly unsure whether he should say this but....]

I- I've noticed that a lot of people treat the drones as...non-entities. Like they don't matter. But that seems....unfair to me. If they are just victims, don't they deserve some compassion?

She seemed to like it.

[Looks suddenly thoughtful]

We don't know for sure they are...and some people ....have been here a very long time. They do not wish to have people constinitly telling them that they belong here when we do not.

I think we should be kind to them but....with the way of the world we are living in....it can be very frustrating and difficult at times.

I'm sorry. I know I just got here, so I can't possibly understand how it feels for someone who has spent months trapped here.

But I just feel like....maybe there's a way to help them. Has anyone ever tried to break the brainwashing?

I believe some people have been here for a year. I have been here since November.

Help them? People have tried to talk sense to them. They do not listen. All they know is what the town tells them is correct. ...and sometimes they will attack us if the town tells them to.

A year? That must be so frustrating for them. No wonder....

But I know that there are ways to both condition people and to break that conditioning. I though maybe if such an approach were tried....

It is difficult for many here. I can not speak to all of them but I know that the counrties here need to go home. Our people need us and we need them....

Condition them? What do you mean?

Right, Getting everyone home is a goal I'm sure everyone can agree on...

Brainwashing isn't something that was invented in Mayfield. It's existed for some time in one form or another. There are also ways to help people that have been brainwashed....but Freud might know more about it than me.

I think so....

You think you could help the people who are brainwashed?

Maybe. It would take a lot of work though. And I'd have to convince Freud to help.
