[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.]

[The woman's voice is cool.] Susan Sto Helit is dead, as she has requested.

[Silence for a moment, then.]


What... do you know what he did to her?

[ex_seventh238]

[A very short pause.]

Would that knowledge do you any good?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Oh god was it that bad...?]


I-I suppose not...

[ex_seventh238]

[Define 'bad', but there's really no need to spread more panic than there already is. She mostly kept her mouth shut for that reason.]

For the very least, now that she is dead, they can no longer harm her. ...If I may ask, however. These individuals on patrol are referred to as the 'hazmats', correct? I have not been in this town for long. Can you tell me more about them?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

True... ah, yeah, I've been here for quite awhile. they were out in Westport. I-I didn't run into any myself, thankfully, but plenty of my friends did. They... they were spraying toxic gas. They hunted down and murdered people. Westport was a wasteland, a warzone, and they were taking care of whatever was left.

[ex_seventh238]

...Toxic gas, I see. Do you gave any information on how the murders are carried out? Are they spontaneously done, akin to what the Smiths and Grady are capable of?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I think they were doing it slowly. Whoever the gas they sprayed didn't get, they chased down and killed. I-I wasn't trapped over there so I don't have all of the details, I'm afraid. But there are still people here who were, you might want to ask them.

[ex_seventh238]

That's alright. Thank you for the information; it has been helpful. ...Bunkers may be a good idea, though it would be a bit late by this point now, would it not? Please focus on staying safe; for the moment at least, that's likely to be your best course of action.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He sighs.] You're probably right... I should have kept up with them. I-I just want to make sure everyone else can stay safe as well...

[ex_seventh238]

That's natural, but there's no sense moping over it now. It would likely be a good idea to make a public call once this is over to resume their construction; until then, please watch yourself and be careful as well.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

R-right. I'll try. Thanks a lot, miss....?

[ex_seventh238]

Ciel. Yourself?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Crowe. Calleo Crowe.

[ex_seventh238]

Mister Crowe. Please take care, then, and perhaps find a friend. You may be safer in groups.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Thanks. You as well.

[[Alas, it was already too late for him.]]

[ex_seventh238]

Hm. ...Good day, despite the grim circumstances.
