[Call/message filtered from Margot (Crowe feels she's upset enough already) to all non-drones. No one Crowe knows had been droned until now and he's having a hard time dealing with it.]


Does... does the town often drone people for no reason? This is... this is... I don't even know. How can this happen? Nadia was one of the nicest people in town, she... she never bothered anyone, never hurt anyone..._{it's not fair... what if she doesn't...}

I-I mean is that it then? Even if we DO get along with this town and its rules, we might just droned anyway?! For no reason whatsoever? Am I just supposed to sit around and wait for them to brainwash the rest of us permanently too? I don't get it! What do they want from us?! What are we supposed to do?


[There's a pause as he sighs and rubs his forehead.]


...I-I'm sorry it's just... _{why couldn't they have done it to someone else...}

Um. Maybe. I'll be okay I guess, it's just... I just don't get it.

Oh, a-are you feeling any better, doctor? I was worried about you. But I was having that, um, teleportation problem....

[hop-toit-udonge.livejournal.com]

Far better.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Good, I'm glad. I guess... I guess I shouldn't be complaining. Everyone here has the same problems, it's not like any different...

[hop-toit-udonge.livejournal.com]

Even then, my offer for company stands.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I may take you up on that offer then. I appreciate it.

[hop-toit-udonge.livejournal.com]

I'm happy to offer it, dear.
