Ah, everyone, be careful out there. The last time a road opened up, it lead to Westport. But, if you find anything out there, please, let us all know right away. Stay safe.

[Phone: filtered to: Kay, Zidane, Fritz, Yamamoto, Prussia, Lucas:]

Those noises... they sound like they were coming from the Dairy. They... I swore I heard screams in there. We have to do something. W-We can't wait much longer.

[Action:

Crowe will be hopping on his motorcycle and checking out this highway. You can find him checking out both the Eastbound and Westbound sides, taking photos and looking around for anything that might be a useful clue. Feel free to stop an interact with him here, or in the event post.

He'll also be using his Ducati to the best of it's ability today too. It's been a year since Crowe's seen an open highway, and with his new motorcycle, he can't resist speeding through the loop at a somewhat unsafe speed. If you're driving on the highway, look out for that speeding bike!]

Yeah, I'm thinking of just not going. What if we get locked out of Mayfield again and have to wander up and down the highway forever?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Mayfield would never let us go so easily. I definitely am going to check it out. I can always let you know if I find anything. I'm going to take photos.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

That's true, I guess. Maybe I'll catch up later.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I'll be out and about if you go. Take a look for me, I'll be on my bike.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Sure thing. Be careful out there.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

You too. If you go and find anything, please let me know.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Of course!

[ohlookboobs.livejournal.com]

I hear ya. What do you wanna do? Bust in?

[filtered for what it's worth]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I-I don't know. I don't know if we should move in and listen a bit longer, see if he comes out... or if we should just but down the door any help anyone who might be in there.

[ohlookboobs.livejournal.com]

And if there are actually people in there....[Yeah, thinking of going there and breaking down the door himself. Someone stop him...:(]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Rushing in might be suicide though. We need to come up with a plan.

[Filtered]

[ohlookboobs.livejournal.com]

...A plan, huh? We'll have to come up with something quick or it might be too late.

[Filtered]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Agreed. I just... I don't know where to start with that place. It looks sealed tight all the time.

[Filtered]

[ohlookboobs.livejournal.com]

Right...do you want the six of us to meet up again?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Do you think the two are related at all? The noises, and then the road?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

They don't seem it, but it's an awfully big coincidence.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

I know this is silly, but I can't help thinking... maybe there's some sort of machine underneath the Dairy that opens and closes the barrier.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Considering how locked up the place usually is, perhaps it is. There's only one way to find out, but...

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

. . . If that's what you guys decide to do, I'll help. Just as long as the three of you don't try anything again alone.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He really wishes Lucas wouldn't... but Crowe knows how helpful his powers could be, too.]

...We're all in this together. The whole town could be in danger.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

I think the whole town might always be in danger . . .

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Ah, of course, but this... if what we're hearing down there is true, it's a lot worse than usual.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Whatever it is, we can face it. . . . Um. Maybe we won't survive facing it, but we can definitely face it.

[Action] - This had to happen, prepare to eat dust!

[Hey there Ducati that's barreling down the road, you have a challenger!

Some how this Japanese import is keeping pace. What do?]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Oh ho, hey there Ken. Crowe turns and smirks at him, and revs the engine. He slowly starts to pull ahead of him.]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

[Hi there Crowe. Ken snorts and revs his own engine, letting it give it's own gravelly roar of challenge.

You wanna play? He's ready to go.]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Aaaaaaaaaaand he's off! O-Oh god, so fast, these Ducati. He thinks he's gonna die, but this also feels fantastic. And seeing Crowe laugh and enjoy himself is a pretty rare thing these last few months, which is definitely is doing now.]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

[Ken is quite skilled, but honestly his bike is not as high quality as the Ducati, so he has to work extra hard to keep Crowe in sight.

He's laughing too. Ken has always enjoyed bike racing.]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Westport, huh? It seems we got off pretty easy compared to the first time with that Angel attack, but even so, I can't say it's a place I've been itching to get back to.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I was over there too the second time. It was dead this time, entirely quiet. Last time... it was like we got there just after all the bad stuff happened.

[courting-glory.livejournal.com]

I agree. I think its time to advance our schedule a bit.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I'm not even sure what we should do. Should we just bring a bunch of people to break the door down? I-If there's really people in there...
