[He’d woken up in a strange bed, a strange room and what appeared to also be a strange house. This in itself would not be considered too out of the place for someone in his line of work, if it were not for the odd pictures around the house, the feeling that something was very wrong and the fact that his hat was missing. A few minutes later he's rubbing his arm where strange men had given him a vaccination of some sort.

After a few hours exploring the strange house, his ankle, everything he could find and talking to a few people in the house, he picked up the phone.]

Hello?

It appears I am being held against my will in a strange house with strange people who seem to have even stranger taste in decorating. Not only that, I appear to have been the victim of various unwilling medical procedures that I am quite certain I did not approve of. If anyone has any advice on who is keeping me here I would be most appreciative.

[His voice goes quieter, almost murmuring to himself]

I’m afraid my research will need to be put on hold. And as for finding....

[Realizes he is still holding the phone]

Oh yes...I’m sorry,
I didn’t realize this was a sad occasion.

[The last line being a code, Lemony hangs up the phone hoping that are some volunteers in this odd town who will get his message.]

You and me both are being held here against out will, I guess.

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

Do you happen to know who is keeping us here?

[goawayfrance.livejournal.com]

No, I don't. I just got here myself.

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

I see. Well hopefully we will be able to find out and escape the clutches of our fiendish captors before anything horrid happens.

...Though I doubt it.

[goawayfrance.livejournal.com]

I'm sure we will! I mean, I just got my independence and everything, I can't go missing now!

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

Your independence. Did you just move out of your parents house?

[goawayfrance.livejournal.com]

My parents? No, I just got my independence from England.

[silvestris-mage.livejournal.com]

It seems we're all being held here against our will.

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

All of us? Dear Lord!
How many people are trapped in this town?

[silvestris-mage.livejournal.com]

I don't know, exactly. A lot, I think.

A lot of people have been pulled in at once. I'm new here, too.

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

How dreadful. I don't dare to think who could be responsibe for such a henious act.

[silvestris-mage.livejournal.com]

Neither do I.

I'm Daine, by the way. What's your name?

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

My name is Lemony Snicket.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

Hello?

Yes, it seems were are all being held here. So you are new here as well?

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

Hello.

Yes I am. I was in the middle of some very important research when I was pulled away as well. So there is no way to leave?

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

I haven't found one yet, but I haven't had the proper time yet. I've only been here a day or so myself.

Might I ask what kind of research you were doing?

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

I see. Well if you do intend to seek a way out. I offer my own services as I need to return rather urgently...I am supposed to be meeting m-..someone.

I am doing research on three children for my most recent book. I believe it to be the last in the series and I need to finish it, no matter how dreadful the results may be.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'll keep that in mind. I'm in a hurry to return home myself.

Why would the results be dreadful? Did something bad happen to these children?

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

[Sniffs tearfully]

The Baudelaire children have been through so many tragic events in their life. Losing their parents in a fire, unjustly persecuted and on the run from a wicked Count. Unfortunatly I always seem one step behind them.

[bustydefense.livejournal.com]

I'm a bit late - is there anything you still need answers to?

Oh he has quite a few...and a slight code in the last one.

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

There seems to be a strange group of people in my house that are convinced I am their father or in the womans case, husband. Is this another trick of this town?

How is the town capable of removing a tatoo without a persons knowing?

What happened to the items I had when I got here?

Well, young lady, have you been good to your mother?
[ooc-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V.F.D.#Codes]

not that it will make a difference to mia :<

[bustydefense.livejournal.com]

It is. All of us are placed into family units - mother, father, and children - and expected to live that way.

I don't know. They are able to take everything that remains of our old world... scars, tattoos, even innate powers.

... Beg pardon?

He's been drawing blank from everyone so far...seems no one else is a volunteer here. :P

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

Making us play, happy family. That is the most particlar reason to kidnap someone I have ever heard, and I've heard many.

And they are able to take away even marks on our skin?...that is most peculiar. They must have some sort of method to all of this.

Never mind, it doesn't seem to matter here.

nope :<

[bustydefense.livejournal.com]

It's only part of why they've kidnapped us, I imagine. We're still trying to figure out that part exactly.

Certainly. If only we knew what it was.

Very well.

[ohsoblunt.livejournal.com]

No one knows who is keeping everyone here.
