Mayfield

Here. Characters awake to find themselves as part of a family in a 1950's American town, filled with Stepford Smilers. Brainwashing into one may occur if the character acts too much out of line. Totally not based on that level from Fallout 3.


 * And I Must Scream:
 * Don't forget the whole
 * Arc Words: "Don't drink the milk". This is because of the Milkman.

 * Ax Crazy: ...The Milkman.
 * The Postman also falls into this category to a lesser extent.

 * Brainwashed: Characters can become drones themselves. If they get dropped they are permanently droned unless apped for again.
 * Brainwashed and Crazy: What happens to characters who get brainwashed by the milkman.
 * Christmas in July - During the first Fourth of July in Mayfield, the town suddenly shifted into Christmas mode, and all of the drones (except for the milkman) disappeared. On the Fourth, we found out why...

 * As can some of the captives. Even when not droned.
 * Eagle Land
 * Equivalent Exchange: A post office appeared, where people can pick up regains at will. The catch?

 * Expy: For Fallout 3's Tranquility Lane..
 * And now that the Lone Wanderer has shown up...

 * Glorious Mother Russia - The second Fourth of July event involved the town turning into a small town in Soviet Russia.

 * Ontological Mystery

 * Red Scare: After the most current July 4 event, complete with people feeling compelled to confess to being communists (even if they have no idea what that means).
 * Serious Business: One word: Homecoming.
 * Smug Snake: Police Chief Grady. He gets droned at one point.
