[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.]

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?

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

By who? [O'Brien's probably got the right idea.]

I had other things to attend to. Frankly, I do see how it's my fault that the carnival people have decided to start shooting people.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

The woman who shot her and another man.

Because, you know what, she seemed rather desperate for medical help to attend and I can't help but think for a minute who she could have possibly been directing that at.

Oh. You? Is that it?

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

You must be joking. You have no idea what they could have done to her. She could be dead in a few hours.

Frankly, I wouldn't accept such criticism from a socially incompetant man who can't even leave his own house.

sorry he's a dick. he just blames everything on everyone else.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

She was barely grazed, let alone properly hit. It's not going to kill her. I know that much. And they could have done to her anything you could have done to her. I'm more inclined to trust my own judgement. She's alright.

Well, sorry, but you're getting it. Maybe that reflects more on you than me.

Crane's a dick too, so it works. :D

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Tell me that in three days, when it's gone septic and I need to start amputating. I'm sure that she'll still love you after that.

I'm sorry, I had previously tried to be pleasant by pandering to your insanity. There are homes for people like you, you realize. It's only your money keeping you out of one.

and o'brien vaguely knows crane's right.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

And I've made sure it's just fine. Cleaned up and everything. You don't actually get too far living like I do without knowing how to look after yourself a little. I know she's alright.

I don't really care what you think of me. My daughter's safe here, with me. She doesn't need you right now. The treatment she got was actually pretty good.

Oh, flood!O'Brien. ;___;

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

At least douse it with alcohol, something strong. It's more likely to stave off infection if you do it regularly.

Who did she recieve this 'treatment' from?

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

I've already done that. Don't take me for someone entirely useless.

The woman who shot her and another man. I don't keep names.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

It's an easy mistake to make.

Of course you don't. How convenient.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

I don't see why I owe you their names.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Is common decency too complicated for you to understand?

FAMILIAL OUTRAGE

[creatingalegacy]

Hey, don't you talk to my Daddy like that! He came to make sure I was okay, and that's more than you did!

FAMILIAL OUTRAGE

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Shut up, little girl. You opinion isn't welcome here. Frankly, I would suggest that you keep your head down from now on. Because you know what that scar on your neck is going to be? A mark of shame. It tells everyone that you went to the carnival, got shot and most likely did some other less than favorable things.

[creatingalegacy]

You're not even concerned that I got hurt; you're just using this as an excuse to tell everyone these people are bad, and you decided that just as soon as they showed up in our town.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm concerned. I'm concerned about a lot of things that go on in your house. [He actually is, but he's on a massive ANGER roll.] I gave these people a chance, and they betrayed my trust. They betrayed everyone's trust.

[creatingalegacy]

See, now you're just changing the subject. This ain't about what my house is like, it's about what happened today, and you won't even listen to reason about it.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Because you're reasoning is childish and misguided. I would recommend that you stay off the journal system. We don't need to hear your little opinions.

[creatingalegacy]

If you don't like what I have to say, you don't have to read it. But I'm not gonna let everyone tell a pack of lies about something that happened to me without speaking up.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

It's not a pack of lies. You're an easily manipulated, naive and someone stupid young girl. You can speak up all your like, but everyone knows who they should believe.

[naughtbutlife.livejournal.com]

Mister, you're mighty uppity for someone from a small town. You leave this nice girl alone now.

She was shot today. Don't you think instead of insulting her you ought to be more concerned with her general health?

I'm tired of all this fighting over what happened. Truth is, mister, she wasn't doing anything wrong, but you weren't there. You'll never know. So you can't just go around accusing her of things that may or may not have happened, because you know what did happen? She was shot. End of the story.


Also, I'm sorry the balloon scared you, mister.

Private

[charmedandperky.livejournal.com]

Sorry about him, he's a jackass to all and sundry. I figure you for getting a big a fright as that girl did.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

I'm not interested in the ranting of a woman who doesn't even consider someone being shot an important issue. You should be ashamed of yourself.

The balloon didn't scare me. I was merely pointing it out.

MORE familial outrage.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

Look, I don't give a damn about who's damn fault this was. I give a damn about her being alright, okay? And she pretty much is, so stop trying to spin this around into whatever you want to make it, and don't you dare talk to her like that. She's more damn trustworthy than you'll ever be.

[Or anyone else, for that matter, because guess who's crazy.]
