I wonder what will happen to that person who was arrested. Should someone try and go after him? I haven't seen the name on here before, but I feel bad for him. Can they really arrest him just for being on the wrong side of the river?

They told us months ago not to cross. Clearly, people haven't listened.

[hisxsacrifice]

I know but...I don't...know how to get by without proper supplies. Not everyone does. Stealing and trespassing are bad, but...no one wants to die either.

[theloneheir]

We make due with what we have. We did it during the winter, we can do it now.

[hisxsacrifice]

You did it. All I know is to drink snow...and some berries are okay, but I really know which ones. I don't know how to do this. We can't stay here forever.

Ritsuka... have you met the man they arrested? I don't remember ever even hearing of him, and I'm at least familiar with the names of all the tenants. So, I went through the video and audio logs, and... he may have gone to stop the clown.

Maybe we should help him. I wasn't paying close enough attention, but... that psycho was planning on blowing up a school. 'Grimmer' must have thought he could stop him.

[hisxsacrifice]

No...maybe he was new...

That clown is scary.
How can we help? Everyone says we'll get arrested if we go. I hate this place.

[thirteen_blades]

We risk escalating matters if we go. Still, asking politely for his release isn't going to get him free, either...

It might be wisest to leave this Grimmer where he is and try to stop the the clown before he gets his way- then we'll have something to bargain with. We can prove we're not a threat to the Credintans.

The mayor may even come after us in retaliation if he succeeds. He's Nesrecan, after all.

[hisxsacrifice]

I...don't want to go near the clown. The further away he goes the safer we'll all be.

He might come away. Eventually.

We can go after dark and use the magic to make them all sleep, my sacrifice. Just give the order and it will be done.

No lectures?
I want to help him, Soubi. Help me do this.

Re: [private to soubi]

[fourplay4some]

I don't lecture. I explain.
Of course. We can go tonight. After the moon rises.

[private to soubi]

[hisxsacrifice]

Lecture. Just like Ritsu-sensi.
Perfect. Thank you Soubi.

If you don't even know the man, there's no point in going after him.

[voice]

[hisxsacrifice]

Why does it matter if I know him?

[voice]

[falling_lotus]

If you don't know him, you can't vouch for him. The word of a few soldiers is hardly enough to tell a full story. If you're not prepared, which you can't be, you'll just end up in the same situation you were trying to save him from.

[voice]

[hisxsacrifice]

He's probably the same as any of us. Only has been here less time so he didn't know...not to go there.

[glasgow_smilin]

Funny thing about governmental institutions. They get to do whatever they want without letting the rest of us have any fun.

And, ah, I wouldn't try too hard to help the guy. He's crazy.

[voice response]

[hisxsacrifice]

Ah-uh-um...

Aren't...but I...want to help...

Re: [voice response]

[glasgow_smilin]

No... no, no, see, you think you do. But you don't.

It's not like you even know him. I mean, look, squirt, this... wanting to help everyone? Just some misguided sense of preschooler empathy. The world doesn't have a place for it. Especially not this one.

Keep that in mind, because it's gonna come back to bite you. I promise.

[voice response]

[hisxsacrifice]

[tries to sound brave]
I-it's your fault he's there.
And if he tried to stop you then he's good.

You can't stop me. I can help if I want to.
