I just reached the limit of my patience. I was so scared at first that... At least I'm not the only one. There are others worse off.

What happened? Does anyone know?

Apparently someone contaminated the water supply, and everyone who drinks it is obtaining animal features.

[alitany]

How...?

Why would anyone do that?

[edgy_edgey]

I-I don't know the answer to either of those questions at the moment, unfortunately.

Are you alright?

[alitany]

I guess no one does, except the one who did it.

I'm a little unsettled and shocked, but I should be fine. How about you?

[alitany]

I realize that now! Do you think you're the only one who's in a panic? Calm down!

[alitany]

It is ridiculous... I just hope whoever did it steps up and gives us a way to undo it.

[embracethewaves]

...Huh? What's going on??

[alitany]

Something happened to the water.

[awomanstouch]

You've been affected as well?

[alitany]

I was...

You were too?

[awomanstouch]

I was, though it won't affect me much in my work.

[alitany]

I guess that makes us the lucky ones.

[invisible_ai]

I'm afraid not, Aerith. I have been affected by the contaminated water as well.

I'm fine. It's just rather inconvenient.

[alitany]

It is pretty inconvenient. I'm sure the one who played the prank thinks it's hilarious. At least no one was fully affected!

[invisible_ai]

Oh, he does. It is because he finds it so hilarious that it wasn't hard for me to determine that he was the culprit.

And I suppose you're right. It wouldn't do Discedo any good to have a few more wild beasts roaming around.

[alitany]

He's sure going to have a lot of people angry with him now. Oh well, I hope he can handle that.

I never thought of it like that, but you're right.
