[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.]

[ On the way to Gokudera's for the meeting, Lambo noticed the garage open, and peeked inside. ]

... Good grief, what seems to be the problem?

[Even thought he's working and in thought, Crowe's on edge, and a wound-up thief is never a good thing. When you peek in, he's startled and actually jumps into a fighting stance. He relaxes though.]

O-Oh, I... I'm... getting things together.

["Things" would be piles of scrap metal and some tools piled right near the door.]

[seatcushion.livejournal.com]

Oh? For what? The recent things that have been happening?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He nodded.] There was a man here... Mr. Saeba. He had the idea to build bunkers, but after he got droned the project fell through... i-it might be too late but I think I still want to try.

Hello? What seems to be the problem?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Ah, Fran! It's... Miss Susan. One of the teachers at the school. Grady found here, a-and... i-it might be too late...

[relaxiamadoctor.livejournal.com]

Yes~ I just tried contacting her after getting her message~ Should I collect the corpse or...~

[[OOC: I just posted, but I can see I'm late to the party]]

[teh-sword.livejournal.com]

Bunkers? Because of the sirens?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

.....

I-I guess. Not much we can do at this point.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

And the hazmats. Ren... this could get really ugly. If they don't find that guy, they won't hesitate to kill us all off one by one till they do. I'm sure of that.

[teh-sword.livejournal.com]

...bunkers gonna protect us, then?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I... I don't know. But I don't know what else to do.

[teh-sword.livejournal.com]

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

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

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.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[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.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

..... 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.

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

[Upon hearing sounds coming from downstairs, Hol thinks it might be a good idea to investigate. Sure he has a particular errand he needs to be getting done, but that can wait for the time being. After all, he had to have -some- idea as to what was going inside his own... 'house'.]

Hey, kid.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Silence for a moment, then.]


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

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Crowe's sitting there with some pieces of scrap metal, some tools, and a look on his face that borders between frustration and exasperation.]

O-oh. Hey. Ah, sorry if I'm ah, making too much noise down here or something...

[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?
