( probably good to stay vigilant. something about this place makes Peter feel like he needs to stay wary. he can't say why, because friendly suburbanites shouldn't be that weird, even to a New Yorker that is much more used to being flatly ignored or open hostility when he walks down the street. there's just something that sets him on edge, like an open secret nobody is talking about. something ugly just under the picturesque facade.
to be fair, though, probably most people wouldn't automatically be trusting of an uncanny valley town they're transplanted into without warning.
Peter eyes the prosthetic arm, obvious curiosity painted on his features — that looks impressive, and of course anything mechanical and complicated automatically has his interest — but now isn't the time to ask. sometime will be the time, though, so expect Questions. for now, he just nods grimly. ) I got you. I'll run distraction if I have to. ( even if only one of them makes it in there, maybe they can find out something. though maybe relaying information after the fact will require more information. ) I'm Peter. Just in case we have to catch up later.
