[Well, let's try to ignore traumatic date night, shall we? Crowe has other news to report to you all.

Call filtered from Rue:]

Um. I said I would let people know if I found out anything about what happened to those of us who were... victimized last week. Those of us who were infected with whatever it was. Mr. Hughes and I spoke with Rue, but it, ah, predictably didn't go very well. But, what we could gather from it was that it was due to something she slipped into drinks, that the town gave back to her. I think she knew it would do something strange to us, but not specifically what. And that once it started she had no way of stopping it. I figure that mostly from the fact that she herself was not affected by it.

But... I encourage you all to not do anything drastic. Please. She... I think she realizes how bad this all was, and is guilty enough about it. I don't think it'll happen again.

[A pause, and a quite sigh.] At least I hope not.

Anyway, I hope everyone is alright after, ah... a-all these recent events.

[Later, Crowe can be found back at the park per usual, with trees and ropes and the whatnot. Today he's got a rope tied in a high tree branch straight up vertically, trying his best to climb up it using only his arms. Woo upper body strength training! It's pretty tough, but he's going at a slow but steady pace. Surely there's no ulterior motives behind all this training lately...]

She didn't know what it'd do? Augh! I am so sick and tired of people experimenting with me!

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I'm fairly certain, yeah.

Me too. As if they town didn't do enough to us already without this... I don't understand why people here just can't get along with one another when we have so much else to worry about.

[angelic-meister.livejournal.com]

Because some people are evil and selfish to the core no matter the situation.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I guess so. It's really just... sad. We'll all just have to be more careful in the future.

[motheringnation.livejournal.com]

S-so it was the tea?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Yes, it was. I wasn't at the party but she had offered me a drink while I was on my paper route. I guess this is what I get for being too trusting. I guess you were at the party, miss...?

[motheringnation.livejournal.com]

Ah-yes. Was at the party.

...Am Ukraine.

[illusionkiller.livejournal.com]

What exactly did she do?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I don't know what, but she slipped something into the drinks and gave them out. It caused all of us to turn... dark. Nihilistic. I don't think she knew what would happen, and once it started, she didn't know how to stop it. The only way we noticed to get rid of its influence was to have someone help talk you out of acting like that.

[illusionkiller.livejournal.com]

... Are we talking about those feathers?

[repeatsalvation.livejournal.com]

Perhaps others are needed to speak with her, then.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Maybe. I would suggest that someone who's friends with her talk not her instead. Maybe they can get through to her better than I could.

[repeatsalvation.livejournal.com]

Possible.

And you do not know what the substance she used was?

[rulethegame.livejournal.com]

If she really feels guilty about it, she'd be the one apologizing and explaining herself. Looks like you got duped again.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

.....


You might be right. I-I dunno. I think we also scared her. She started off acting innocent but she fell apart really fast. So it was obvious that she knew something bad would happen.

[rulethegame.livejournal.com]

Of course she got scared when she realized that people were onto her. But without any consequences, there's no guarantee she won't pull a similar trick again.

...did the rope break since last time or something?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[When Crowe hears you approach, he slides down. He could use the break, oh god.][

Hey, Ren. Ah... no, just trying something new this time. Though, I do want to get back to trying the tightrope again sometime...

[You are not as chipper as usual. Even to a guy as oblivious as Crowe, he can tell.]

Ah. Everything alright with you?

[teh-sword.livejournal.com]

's rope-climbing good in the circus too? Looks sorta like gym class. [] Just sore. Car... related... trouble. No big.

[legendschild.livejournal.com]

[Typical boredom, typical walking around with nothing to do. That's what's Yutaro's routine is lately, and he happens to spot that kid on the tightrope.]

Still practicing that, huh? [This time, however, he's not hand walking.]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Today Crowe is trying to go up instead of across. Climbing is great exercise.]

Yeah, you bet. Not too many ways to keep yourself entertained around here, so I figure I might as well keep in shape.

[legendschild.livejournal.com]

I know! The only thing I could do around here is either telephone calls or talking with Ren, but he always run off somewhere.

Oh right, I didn't introduce myself last time, didn't I? I'm Yutaro.

[ohlookboobs.livejournal.com]

So it was her...

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I figure at this point, I've done what I can do. I hope people don't do anything drastic, but now she'll have to deal with people who might be, ah, a lot less civil than Mr. Hughes and I tried to be.

[ohlookboobs.livejournal.com]

Yeah, probably. What exactly happened when you talked to her?
