Hear ye, hear ye!

I call to order the first meeting of the Kids Escaping Mayfield Society!   (See, KEMS actually is pronounce-able whereas KEMC sort of begs for a vowel somewhere and KEMF just sounds awkward.)  Some of you may have noticed me going around collecting last week -- I would have distributed stuff earlier, but Mia had an accident and there was a lot of ruckus going around.  Anyway.  Just so you guys don't think I was trying to keep it all for myself.

See, I hadn't actually thought about this much before I went around collecting, but I realized, we really can do something.  We're kids, you see.  And we all know what that means.  We play in the backyard while the adults do their adults thing, we sit in the corner doodling while the adults talk about their adult things, we make friendly with the mayor because Kids Are Innocent and like talking to everyone.  You guys get my drift?  No one pays attention to what we do.  We're kids!  Simon had the right idea, but he was too obvious about it.  This won't take any effort at all.  Just everyone do what they normally do, but keep an eye and ear out anything interesting.  Play hide and seek outside the city hall.  Tell Chief Grady that you're writing an essay on the person you admire most and he's just so cool.  Listen in when your parents talk on the phone.  It's easy!  But make sure you always have a good excuse to justify what you're doing.  Or if you don't, make sure you can act.

So if you guys are up for it, we can talk more at my house.  The excuse -- You're coming around for the candy I collected.  And it's not gonna be an excuse, I counted, there's at least 6 pieces for everyone with some fruit, cake, and muffins on the side.  And even if you're not up for it, come around for the candy anyway.  I'll probably be waiting outside, but just knock if I'm not in the yard.

So, sis . . . What do you think?

I'll be there.

Good!

. . . I don't think I've seen you around before. Just to let you know, I'm Palom!

Yeah, I guess I'm new here. My name's Raz!

I'd welcome you, but you'd probably rather not be here. Anyway, come on by.

Well, that's--actually pretty logical, Palom! I'm impressed. I was thinking the same thing, actually.

...And I suppose the candy is a good ruse even if you came up with this later.

From: [identity profile] prodigious-mage.livejournal.com
Yeah. We do it all the time at home; we could get a lot more done if we had all the kids snooping around.

The candy was a perfect idea. I must've known I'd have a brainstorm like this, hehe.

It worked with Cecil, and I don't see why it wouldn't work here. I just hope that the other people don't start trying to break into things again and make it harder for us.

Mm-hm. That's amazing intuition you have, Palom.

Yeah. I think most people know that the 'busting things up' strategy is not a good idea anymore.

I know. Aren't I such a prodigy?

It took them a while to figure it out. Subterfuge is a lot more effective... and I think the drone leaders will be more eager to talk to us than the adults.

You still need to work on that ego of yours.

I'll come!

Sealand, right? You were right -- it looks like Russia's sister has turned up. Anyway, I'll seeya in a bit, then!

Is it the creepy one? Or the quiet one?

I-I guess that's the creepy one.

I'll be there.

Great! I'm thinking this is a safer way of doing things than everyone all congregating suspiciously, so try and space out the visits.

Oh -- You're one of Mia's relatives, right?

. . . Is it really? Seems a pretty logical thing to do.

Not bad. But you're forgetting one thing - our fearless leader!

Obviously I'm the best person for the job, so I'll happily take it!

Date: 2009-08-21 02:34 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] prodigious-mage.livejournal.com
W-What. NO WAY. If we're having a leader at all, we're taking a vote! My vote counts triple, cause I got the candy!

Date: 2009-08-21 02:36 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] rainbowbrush.livejournal.com
Then my vote counts quadruple, 'cause I've been here the longest! And I'm smarter than you!

My vote always counts twice as much as yours since I can turn you into a pig!

That's stupid! I can draw whatever I want and make it real. You can't beat me!

Date: 2009-08-21 04:27 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] prodigious-mage.livejournal.com
Yeah, but it only lasts like thirty seconds! I can turn you into a pig forever.

Date: 2009-08-22 08:17 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] rainbowbrush.livejournal.com
Thirty seconds?! It lasts as long as I want it to!

You're really smart!

man, how'd I get so behind on posting?

*Shiraasan will be sitting around munching on some of that candy while listening in on the talks, by the way.*
