[Whoops, slow response time, Crane was sleeping off drinking with Rose.]

God damn it. I warned you all, yet you went to the carnival anyway. Where's the girl who was shot?

I would warn the rest of you, this is the tip of the iceberg. We need these people out of our town and this carnival gone. Now. Or is one girl being shot not enough? Would you all rather two or three?

Has anyone else been harmed? Physically or financially?

[Carnival filter]

To which ever one of you placed that balloon outside my house, I am not intimidated in the slightest. [He is.]

She's with me.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Has she had medical treatment?

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

She was treated well enough, yes.

[He trusts you about as much as he trusts camp folk, Doctor.]

Question is, where the hell was your medical treatment when it actually happened?

[my-freeze-ray.livejournal.com]

You need to teach your kids to stay in the public parts of the camp. She shouldn't have been off wandering through the rehearsal areas without her folks around!

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, did she fail to see the maps that you've obviously put up?

[my-freeze-ray.livejournal.com]

She ain't mentally defective. There's the public parts, where the banners and the lights are, and there's the private parts, where the smelly unwashed hide under blank white canvas and practice their acts.

What's a kid like that doing let out all alone?

[aintnothingfair.livejournal.com]

You stay the hell away from us. She didn't go an' do it on purpose.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Let me guess, it was an accidental shooting? How very likely.

[aintnothingfair.livejournal.com]

'Course it was an accidental shootin'.

[empirical_data]

I treated the girl, and I've received medical training. She should be fine.

...Someone placed a balloon outside your house? After the gates closed?

[Carnival filter + Crane]

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

What did you do to her, specifically? And how much training have you had?

Yes, they did. I'm unclear what type of animal it is supposed to be shaped as. It looks like some kind of mass.

[empirical_data]

I was a field medic during the big war, and then I worked in research for a while. I've treated more bullet wounds than I can count, and that was thankfully just a nick.

But you're right and we should have had the rou- the hired help keeping a closer eye out. I've already been on people to be more careful. And I'll uh... try to see about the person that might have left that. [Because that is kinda creepy....]

[creatingalegacy]

I'm the one who got shot, and it ain't like that at all! I wasn't paying attention and walked right into her practice area as she was making a shot. It's not her fault I went where I shouldn't've, and she and another one of 'em fixed me right up. They were nice people!

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

So you didn't realize that you were in the 'practice area'? She could have dilibertly taken aim at you for all you know.

Where were you hit?

[lotoftrouble.livejournal.com]

Miss, you're obviously delirious. None of them are nice people, they just wanted to make you think that way. Sit down and stay out of this.

[naughtbutlife.livejournal.com]

Miss O'Brien, it's kind of you to say something, but it's alright. Don't go getting yourself into more trouble on our account.

[lotoftrouble.livejournal.com]

I agree with you. We need these people out.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

As soon as possible.

[Private]

By force, if they won't leave voluntarily.

(This is for both Loki and Crane, PLEASE BOTH REPLY)

[everylittlegirl]

Hey! We're not all like that, okay? Please be patient.

[bythe_books]

[SPORFLE LAUGH] A girl took a bullet, and you're asking about a balloon? What'd it do to you? Hover threateningly? Look at your missus funny?

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

It's the implication. It proves that one of you people was at my house, and wanted me to know about it.

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

As much as I want them gone...

Can't we just get rid of the one who shot someone?

After all, they're the ones who could easily be out there doin' something other than bringing sin here.

[Not that he has vested interests in being nice to the freaks or anything.]

What happened, anyway?

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

No, that won't solve the problem. Not in the long term, in any case.

A girl was shot. Does anything else matter?

[charmedandperky.livejournal.com]

It was an honest to God accident! And where were you?

Private

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

I've told you, don't get involved in my affairs. I was busy.
