Chapter IV [Phone/Action] [Level 2]

[how_right_i_am]

 To be honest, I have no idea what a communist is. I am, however, one-hundred percent certain that something evil is on its way. The way the people of this town are acting makes it very obvious. Aside from being told to slaughter each other, though, I admit I have not been in this town long enough to know what to expect.

So. I seek more information

[phone stage 3] incoming TL:DR

[lunawolves10th]

I can give you a fairly good idea of what the town has thrown at us in the past, and is capable of.

As you may be aware, the town is capable of using various levers to turn townspeople against each other, up to and including empowering them with abilities they would not normally has.

It can also send out beings known as Hazmats, so called because of their hazardous material suits. They are apparently explosive and poisonous, so they should be engaged with ranged weapons or wearing a sealed suit.

In the past the milkman himself has activated a giant Titan-class assault machine and used it to terrorize the town, and there are also bears which can and will attack you if you stray too far from the town proper.

Was there anything else you would like to know?

[how_right_i_am]

Yes, if you don't mind. Are all of these experiences you've witnessed first-hand?

[lunawolves10th]

Yes, aside from the Hazmats, and I have that information from several people.

[how_right_i_am]

I don't entirely believe you. I think you're not telling me something about this town.

[Stop a woman in a funny hat? Yeah, he can do that.

Lilly's trip through the park will be cut short by an acorn getting dropped on the aforementioned hat from a tree she passes under.]

BT Caesar is a butthead

[how_right_i_am]

[It's lucky that her hate is so cushion-y. Still, she definitely felt that, and she looks around for whoever threw it.

She doesn't look above her, though.]

Who did that?! If you think I'm going to let you get away with that, you have another thing coming!

no u

[commentboxtroll]

[Of course she wouldn't look up. When she inevitably does, she'll spot Caesar. He's back to hanging out on tree branches again, apparently.]

I'm shaking in my boots. Except I'm not. I'm not even wearing boots. [They are just shoes. Oookay. He doesn't like that he added that part. Now what is the town up to?] Hey Tinto, when did you get your goofy hat back?

caesar you are the weirdest little girl lilly knows

[how_right_i_am]

[It does take her a moment. Shut up.]

Is that an attempt at humor? I can tell you're not wearing boots, Caesar. What are you up to today? Still as annoying as ever?

Also Level 2

[float_like_a]

I'm not sure exactly what it's capable of, but it doesn't seem like the town has very many limits on the kinds of things it can do to us.

[how_right_i_am]

I'm afraid of the same thing myself, in all honesty. Still, it wouldn't hurt to know more, even if I can't do anything about it.

[float_like_a]

If I find anything else out, I'll let you know.

[how_right_i_am]

I'd appreciate it. Thank you, Lyon. It's a relief to know I can count on you when I can't count on Caesar.

[femtags]

I'm not sure but a communist is what Americans were afraid of during this time period.

phone

[how_right_i_am]

What exactly were they afraid of?

phone

[femtags]

Hm....because communism can take over and become a dictatorship.

And I also wet the bed when I was younger..

[how_right_i_am]

I see. That's certainly...

...

You what? You wet your bed?

[how_right_i_am]

[Stare. That's the easy answer.]

What were you thinking, Hugo? You are definitely not a communist, whatever one is.

[how_right_i_am]

Neither do I or Caesar, but that doesn't mean we're all communists. None of us even know what they are. You're being ridiculous.
