[Voice: Screw filters. They're useless as far as Crowe's concerned anymore.

He speaks quickly. It's obvious he's pretty rattled.]

Do not go near them. Do not touch them. Just... just please, stay out of their way. Fighting a-against them will probably have no affect.


Bunkers... Mr. Saeba was working on those, wasn't he? We... I'm going to say we should get back to that.



Has... has anyone checked on Miss Susan...?

[Action: Crowe will be found tearing apart his garage, looking for metal. Before he was droned, Ryo Saeba had been collecting scrap metal to help build bunkers, and Crowe had been helping him. Now he regrets ever stopping. He's taken what he collected and has brought it down to the basement of his home, and it's at that point he has no idea what he's doing. His housemates will find him sitting there with his supplies, head in his hands, thinking.]

...I'm sure it'll be good. If you need a hand...

I'll be working in my own basement. I wouldn't say no to any help. I still have some parts left over before Mr. Saeba.... [A sigh.] I really wish I had copies of his plans before he....

[teh-sword.livejournal.com]

'm sorry, Calleo.

[Ryo was droned, not to mention every other person working on that project...]

I-It's alirght, I just... I should have followed through with it better. Ha, I think I-I wasted too much time around here, you know? Sports a-and clubs and stuff... I should really cut back on buckle down on the important things....

[He's rambling now.]

[teh-sword.livejournal.com]

...hey. Hey, Calleo.

's okay. All that other stuff, the stuff that kept people happy even if it didn't get 'em home? That's important too. Don't ever forget that.

..... I-I guess, yeah. I just... would rather everyone be safe. And not be... tortured by these horrible people. I'm sick of standing here, being victimized, a-and being able to do anything about it. We can't keep going through this.

[teh-sword.livejournal.com]

Don't focus on that, though. We'll do good going forward. Remember that what you did in the past helped people too.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

R-right. [He takes a deep breath, then chuckles nervously.] Panicking won't get me anywhere either, right..?

[teh-sword.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

We'll fix this, okay?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Yeah. W-we've managed through everything else so far...

[teh-sword.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

Be safe, okay?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

You too. Let me know if you need anything.

[teh-sword.livejournal.com]

Definitely. I'll see you when it's over, okay?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

You bet.
