A City of Stone!

[Dracos]

Maybe if Phil walked behind him he could come too?

Phil saw a few adults around.  The police officer was guarding the door.  He seemed to be the authority around here really.

But that wasn't so important.

Why?

Because Freddy the soda man was here.

And he had his cart.

Phil broke into a grin at the sight of his friend. "Freddy!" Quickly dashing over to the cart, he gave the soda man a concerned look. "Are you okay? What happened, anyway?"

[Dracos]

"Yeah, I'm fine.  How about you kid?  It's been weird.  I was in my shop and all of a sudden folks started complaining about the music and all... and then acting weird, grabbing folks and such.  I barely got out of there and saw the police gathering folks over here.  So I'm hiding out here until everything calms down."

Phil shakes his head. "You'd never believe it, Freddy. I went up into the mountains and saw a bunch of robots building what LOOKED like UFOs! I just wonder if that's what's making everyone act so weird - my dad was like a zombie when I got back home."

[Dracos]

"Woah.  Robots?  Huh.   It's getting to be a regular sci-fi movie down here.  I hope the feds get here soon."  The lanky soda guy responded.

Not wanting to distract Phil, but curious anyway, Liao quietly asks him, "Is a 'Fed' like an elder?"

[Halbarad]

Phil blinks. "What's an elder? Anyway, the Feds are like the really big police - they'd be able to take care of all of this, I bet. If they know what's going on."

[Dracos]

"Yeah.  You two should stay out of the way until they arrive." Freddy suggested.

Liao makes a thoughtful noise, and nods, but is wondering if all the Feds have stars like he and Phil.  Are they up to the challenge?  "Well, what is our plan then, Phil?" he asks.

[Halbarad]

Phil pulls up short at that - how is he supposed to know? "Um... I don't know. Hey Freddy, do you know if anyone's actually CALLED the Feds yet?"

[Dracos]

"Well, Mayor Ghirdari was supposed to.  He's in his office."

[Brian]

Liao looks to Phil for guidance, not really familiar with the art of summoning the Feds.

[Halbarad]

"I'd better go tell him what I found then, so he can tell them. You coming, Liao?" Phil looks over at his new companion.

[Brian]

Liao nods.  "Lead the way," he says, gesturing to Phil.

[Dracos]

dum, du dum, duu duum...dududududud....

They walked over to the Mayor's office.

The door was unlocked.

Entering they found...  No one was here?  How strange.
