event: return of the census
[It's that time again, Mayfield! Early in the morning, the Postman will make his usual rounds. But today, he'll be dropping off some extra special letters...letters that some of you may find quite familiar. In every mailbox are a bundle of census forms, one for each non-drone person (and pet) in the household.
The census appears to be an ordinary form, although the last number of the date is smudged beyond recognition on every form, and there are some odd questions. Upon seeing one of the forms, your character will feel compelled to fill one out and to be absolutely truthful. If your character cannot read or write, their form will be automatically filled out for them. As soon as they are filled out, the forms disappear.]

19. What is your most embarrassing memory? Once I spent a night at the tavern in Fort Defiance getting drunk off my ass. A bar fight broke out between some other guys and the MPs arrived to stick everyone in a drunk tank. In my infinite wisdom, I thought I could outrun the MPs. So I gave them the finger and led them on a Sprint-enhanced wild goose chase through the fort, until I tripped and fell over a railing and garroted myself Hollywood-style on some hanging wires at the landing pad.

You know, the afterlife probably doesn't have pearly gates, but I'm damn sure doesn't look like Leave it to Beaver either. And anyway, you guys took me at the wrong time to make me think I'm dead back home. Maybe if you guys actually tried to kidnap me while I was dying on the battlefield you'd get me thinking. Maybe.
