[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.]

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.

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.

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

Private

[naughtbutlife.livejournal.com]

I did, ma'am. Scared real bad.

I didn't mean no harm, I swear. I don't mean no harm. I don't want any more fighting because of what I did.

No, of course you didn't!

I'd be able to tell Jon that, only it's not about the girl, it's never about the girl, it's about shoving people down to the ground so he can stamp on them!

Don't take a word of his bile to heart, you hear?

Re: Private

[naughtbutlife.livejournal.com]

Don't matter anyway, ma'am. I've done enough. I'm leaving the carnival tonight.

Re: Private

[charmedandperky.livejournal.com]

Aw, Jeez. I get that.

[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.

[naughtbutlife.livejournal.com]

I'm ashamed that I let that girl down, mister. I don't need you telling me how I oughtta feel otherwise.

Yeah. I reckon it has you scared, it being a cuddly creature in a happy color and the like.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

You didn't let her down, you put a bullet into her. There's no words to describe what you should be feeling.

I was pointing it out. Despite the ridiculous stories that some of you carnival folk tell.

MORE familial outrage.

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.]

:D

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

You won't be talking to my like that in a few days, where she's dying of a septic wound. I suspect that we'll speak further on that issue when the time comes.

Re: :D

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

I suspect you'll be waiting a long time. She's fine.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

You'll see. You will see.
