Good afternoon, Death City...!

[Fabiola's settled onto one of the swings in the park, and is rocking back and forth as she waves at the screen. It's likely disorienting as all get-out, but she... probably doesn't know that. Damn 90s kids and their lack of webcam etiquette. She stops swinging when she starts to talk though, so that's good, right?]

As it seems to be a month for asking questions, I was wondering- there are plenty of residents here that would be considered Aliens- that is, extraterrestrials, from other planets and the like. Would some of you mind terribly telling me about the places where you are from? I am- [~~kind of a sci-fi nerd--~~]- quite interested in learning about what kind of civilizations occur on other planets.

[She rocks back and forth slightly again, and then taps her chin with a gloved finger, thinking.]

And on an unrelated note- does anyone know anything about painting murals? Or taking care of chickens? The two are quite unrelated, but I thought if anything, someone who knows something about either of them might know catch sight of this.

[Seriously, there is a ninja chicken overtaking a corner of her living room, DC. Help.]

Might I ask who it is that is bothering you?

This entire city. [he sounds very pained when he says that]

...I don't understand. How is everyone doing that?

Very consistently.

But... how?

I don't know. It's a little amazing in its horror.

[Her mind is full of 'wut'.]

I am very sorry but I am... quite confused. How can people- the entire city, as you have said- be bothering you so much all the time...?

It is simply not possible.

It's very possible. Everything they do is...wrong.

Perhaps you are simply overthinking things?

No. Everyone else just isn't thinking enough.

That is a bit of a rude way to put it, is it not?

Not really. It's true.

But... what is it they are doing wrong?

What aren't they doing wrong?

That is... very vague. I think, perhaps, you may be making a mountain out of a mole hole.

[...mountain out of a molehill Fabi, seriously.]

I'm not. There's almost nothing they do right except make my crazier than I already am. It's almost as if they're doing it on purpose.

I very much doubt that- perhaps you yourself are imagining the extent of these slights?

I don't have to imagine anything; it's right there for everyone to see.

I am sorry to say but... it seems like you are overreacting, honestly.

I'm not, but you wouldn't understand. You're probably part of the problem too.

Well that is certainly a thing to say to someone who has been doing nothing but trying to be helpful!

You haven't been helpful at all. All you've been doing is making excuses for everyone.

I have been! I was trying to figure out who or what was bothering you so I could help you. But you do not have a real problem to present and no one actually seems to need excusing. You are simply...ah- paranoid, I think is the word.

No. Paranoid is people who walk around with tinfoil hats. This is a legitimate and perfectly reasonable concern about how the city's being handled.

But you still have yet to voice a real concern other than you believe everyone to be more or less insane... I cannot say I can help much, in that case.
