006 ~*~ In which loyalties are tested

[ Phone : Open ]
I had to go to work today. People are killing each other left and right and it was like nothing was different at school. [ Meiling's characteristic carefree nature is absent from her tone. The past few days have been hard on her, even in isolation, as she cannot escape the emotional aftermath of all this senseless bloodshed

There are people who care, but you must remember that most of the people seen are not what you could consider as normal. They will see nothing wrong with this, and may not even be aware it's happening. As for those who have embraced this barbaric display, they are not the kind who would care beyond themselves or those they feel are important to them.

[notsogreatwall]

I didn't mean just the drones. [ Meiling should have been more clear. ] Aren't they worried about the consequences?

[nothing_is_grey]

They are blind, or more... unsure no doubt. I fear there are those who are simply jaded in this place as well.

But... I have every intention of educating everyone once I am capable of doing so again.

[notsogreatwall]

[ A weak hum of amusement. ] I think you'll have your work cut out for you...

[nothing_is_grey]

Perhaps, but it's not much different from what I usually do during my times off. For the great offenders I will try and visit them personally. But... right now I have no idea who they are, so we will have to see if I can find that out after the fact.

[notsogreatwall]

That's a lot of house calls to make. [ She sighs. ] Everyone will probably try to sweep this under the rug... if it ever ends. [ Things looked bleak, to her. ]

[nothing_is_grey]

I am confidant it will, one has already spoken of a similar event happening before.

[notsogreatwall]

--this isn't the first time? [ She takes in a breath, her voice unsure of whether it should display more grief, or anger. ] What's wrong with this place?

[nothing_is_grey]

It seems specifically designed to push us into mental distress.

[notsogreatwall]

[ Weakly. ] It's doing a good job...

[nothing_is_grey]

Sadly it is.

[notsogreatwall]

I wish... I wish I could convince her to listen.

[nothing_is_grey]

Her? Who is it that isn't listening?

[notsogreatwall]

Miss Patchouli...

[nothing_is_grey]

I see. I'm sure she will come to her senses in time.

[notsogreatwall]

[ She's unconvinced. ] Over the weekend, she got worse. I've never seen her like this before. It's... scary.
