[Filtered to: Vince & England. Time to be cryptic here.]

I've finished what I've promised. Please let me know when & where is a good time to meet up with you, I'd like to discuss it.

[Drone/Grady/Mayor filter - for whatever that is worth now.]

Does "restriction 'Sigma Alpha Beta'" sound familiar to anyone? That sounded like... like someone breaking through, didn't it? This could be another trick as always, though... I had talked to someone on April Fool's that was coming from outside, and I know a lot of other people did too. But with this town, you never know what's real and what isn't...

...I'd also like to think Grady is full of hot air. We outnumber him after all... _{[Crowe sounds like he's trying to convince himself of that as well.]}

Yeah, Grady's just an idiot. Don't worry 'bout him.

Y'can drop by my house, 1332 Benny Road. Come whenever y'want-- I won't be doin' much today, 'sides waitin'.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He'll be along after awhile then, knocking on your door. In his hand is a file folder, which he'll give to you once you answer.]

I did my best to make several copies. I made 3 for you and 3 for Mr. England, as well as a few for myself. That's why it took a bit longer than expected.

[numanstan.livejournal.com]

[He smiles a bit when he gets the folder, but it's thin, and he looks like he hasn't slept in weeks.]

Thanks, mate. These'll be well useful for when we actually get in the place!

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I hope so. You were right about England... he won't allow me to come along on the, er, mission. [he looks disappointed.]

..Do you need anything? You look pretty exhausted. Don't wear yourself out, alright?

[numanstan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he's sorta a dick sometimes... But, much I hate sayin' it, he's right. Y'don't know what Grady's capable of-- hell, even we don't know! And if it's somethin' awful, I'd rather it happen to me than some kids.

Oh, don't worry 'bout me. Just haven't been sleepin' much lately. [He laughs a bit and runs his hands through his hair. Yeah, just some nightmares.]

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

It's just an internal code, I bet. Like from spy movies and things like that. Whenever they have a President launch a nuclear missile, they always give some kind of code phrase like "gamma, gamma, foxtrot, beta".

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's what it sounded like... I was hoping some of the military types would recognize it. It sound like... it was being pirated in, you know? So I was hoping maybe someone would recognize it. Like someone's friends or colleagues from another world.

I want to think someone out there knows we're all in here...

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

Outside of that, I don't recognize it a bit. Sory.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Me either. But that sort of thing isn't really my area.

[never-any-doubt.livejournal.com]

I am almost certain zhat eet is a trick. Whoever managed to 'interrupt' zhe broadcast talked of liberation. Zhey expect us to run into zhe arms of some rescuing force, and zhen zhey will turn on us just as Westport did.

I cannot speak to how full of anyzhing Grady may or may not be, however. I have yet to see what he can do firsthand.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I've seen what he does... someone in my house tried to shoot him, but Grady actually teleported from one end of the street right up behind him. His gun disappeared and Sniper was instantly droned... all in the blink of an eye. I heard he even managed to drone people who were all rioting together... but can he really do more than just that? He can do a lot, but I don't know if anyone has seen evidence of him doing anything else...

I hate to say that any attempting to rescue us would have to be met with suspicion. Thanks to everything this town has done to us, you can't trust anything...


Ah. Um, I don't think we've met, sir? And here I am rambling... My name's Calleo Crowe.

[never-any-doubt.livejournal.com]

Teleportation...

[Spy thinks on this. He's never been able to teleport without the aid of Engie's machines. Perhaps Grady has something of that nature set up all across Mayfield? But then wouldn't there have been evidence of it?]

Hm. I suppose zhe only way to find out what he is truly capable of is to try and elicit zhat response from him, which would be extremely foolish and dangerous.

Ah! Oui. We have not met. My name is not important; you may call me Spy.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Of course it's foolish... but we'll never get anywhere sitting on our hands. We need to know what he's capable of so we know how to fight it, right? ...But I guess we need to figure out how to stop the dronings and all first...


"Spy"?... Like "Sniper" perhaps?

[resurrectinto.livejournal.com]

I don't think Grady's lying. It's best to be on your toes, if not for what the town does, but for what the idiots in the town are going to do.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

That's certainly true. I hope by this point people know we need to handle things... subtly.

[resurrectinto.livejournal.com]

They're well intentioned, but you know what they say about the road to the Pit. ...Or maybe not.

Anyway.

Nadia's going to be over tonight. I was thinking we could all do something, keep our minds off what might be happening.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Probably the same as the road to hell, I'm sure.

That sounds like a great idea. We can at least have our own celebration before everything goes, well, to hell.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

I could drop by your house, when you have the time.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's fine too. I'm at 1247 Williams.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

[FAIL NOTIF TIME LATER or ten minutes later, he's knocking at 1247 Williams while looking somewhat professional.]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Crowe will greet you rather quickly so England will not be approached by any of his housemates - most specifically Mukuro. He answers the door smiling, holding a file folder.]

Hi. Converting them wasn't the easiest but I think it turned out alright. I hope they'll be of use to you.

[hourai-branch.livejournal.com]

No, it's more like Grady isn't the boss here.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I've heard that theory before … that Grady is trapped here just like the rest of us. But someone had to give him all that power…

[hourai-branch.livejournal.com]

Lucy Smith. The little girl.

LJ is failing with notifs again, yay

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

...her? Really? Where did you find that out?
