[He's panicked at the moment.]

I-I didn't do anything, w-w-why would they something like that...

[tophatofawesome]

They're trying to turn us against each other, but it's not going to work. If anyone tries to come after you, I'll protect you.

[bluecapboy]

Turn us against each other?

[Then that confirmed it. The town really releasing those broadcasts to start a witch hunt. He just didn't understand why he was on the list of witches. He swallowed hard.]

R-right, it's just like the other broadcasts, b-but...I don't...

[As much as he tried, he couldn't hide it. He was scared.]

[tophatofawesome]

Likely as punishment for that violence some time ago. You didn't have anything to do with that, did you?

-- Please don't worry, my boy. I won't allow any harm to come to you as a result of this.

[He... actually sounds slightly panicked.]

I haven't... I would never--I haven't done anything to any humans!

[Filtered]

[tophatofawesome]

I believe you, don't worry. Please, don't panic -- that won't help anyone. Instead, try to think of ways to help the situation -- or at least keep it from getting worse.

I don't... we don't... harm humans. I...

[Breathing. Breathing is good.]

I've... been with Jolt. Since that radio broadcast. He can... he can back me up.

[tophatofawesome]

I know -- and anyone else who knows you should as well.

An alibi is good to start with. Do you have any ideas on how to deal with the police, should they attempt to arrest you?

[shamagaladin]

[GREENSON IS SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW PUZZLEDAD.]

How dare they!

[tophatofawesome]

Their behaviour is inexcusable, yes. But that's no reason to let your emotions get the better of you -- that's what they want. [He grips Med'an's shoulder, as if to transfer some of his calmness and logic to the boy by touch.]

[shamagaladin]

I...

[The gesture does in fact calm him, and the tenseness in his shoulders flows out. It reminds him a little of Meryl. Alright...take a breath....nod.]

What are we going to do?

[tophatofawesome]

We're going to protect our friends from anyone who wishes to do them harm, and wait to see what our enemy's next move will be.

[reluctantnanny]

I wholly believe that is their goal.

They may very well fool the people in town who want to take out all their anger on something. These "suspects" are all in danger, and not from Mayfield directly.

[tophatofawesome]

I certainly hope they won't believe that broadcast. I wouldn't trust the authorities here as far as I could toss them, not after what I've seen happen in this city.

But that is one reason why I'm trying to help those "suspects" that I know personally.

[reluctantnanny]

There are dangerous people who have been brought here who may be simply looking for an excuse to lash out at people like Simon and America for...recent events. Whether the authorities are reliable are not will matter little to them.

It is smart to do so. If it were up to me, they would not be let out on their own until we get to the bottom of all this.

[tophatofawesome]

An excellent idea. I'm afraid I can only be helpful to those I know -- I trust the rest have friends they can rely on.

He can only know the truth and say nothing.]
