Eighth Journal Entry

[tophatofawesome]

I'm back, I'm alright. Unfortunately, I didn't find anything of use in Westport... and I need to rest. I think I'll stay away from "work" for a few more days. Flora, Luke, are you two alright? Do you need anything?

What happened in Mayfield while we were gone, by the way?

I found a note and I have my camera still.

Um, I'll be alright soon.

[tophatofawesome]

You've had better luck than I, then, my boy.

...I am sorry you had to get involved at all, though.

[bluecapboy]

It's fine, we all have to share this information, anyway. It wouldn't be right if we didn't share it with the rest of the town. I need access to a dark room for the pictures though, I don't know much about developing photographs. You saw the drawings in the Church, didn't you?

Mm, it's no problem! I'm pretty tough, you know! [Bluffing, but remembering how he came close to dying isn't something he wants to think about.] A lot of people helped out too.

[tophatofawesome]

...Hmm. I don't know how to develop photographs either; we'll have to ask someone. I wish we could look it up in the library.

I'm afraid I was more worried about you -- if I saw them, I paid them no mind.

And I'm glad to hear that. You know you're always welcome here if there's every any problems.

Everyone was worried, we had to fight Sho Minamimoto due to his declaration of Martial Law, the road to Westport wouldn't open, a graveyard appeared, making us think all of you were dead, and Grady lied to me.

[[sigh.]]

...I also bought some cake for those of you who were in Westport. I heard there was some starvation, so I thought it might be nice to come back to something sweet. Would you like some?

[tophatofawesome]

...It seems quite a bit happened, then. I trust things are better now?

No, thank you -- I don't like sweet things very much. You might offer some to Luke, though. Do you know him?

[steel_massifail]

Things are... slowly getting better, yes.

Actually, I just delivered him a piece.

[tophatofawesome]

Ah, good. He fell ill toward the end, so I'm worried for him.

[weiss_tank]

Mmm, martial law that failed, guy who declared it got his ass kicked. Er, two of the nice nation ladies were planning a festival to get the road open. We had it better then you guys but...

I'm glad everyone's back though.

[tophatofawesome]

That does sound busy.

I never thought I'd be glad to be here, but I feel the same.

[weiss_tank]

Same. I thought this place was a circle of hell, turns out it's just purgatory.

[tophatofawesome]

Most of the time, yes. But when these sort of things happen... that wasn't the first time things have been particularly worse.
