Post the Fifth: The Demoralizing Droning

[mysilenceknot]

Oh dear, first fire, power outage and now...[He finds the phone is still working] How odd...

Does anyone in this town know a Ms.Riza Hawkeye? If you do, please contact me. I...I have something you should know.

Hawkeye? She threw the Halloween party, but I didn't see much of her...

Is everything all right?

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

Yes, as it so happens she was m-....the "wife" I was assigned with here...

However...well for whatever reason...she's become a drone.

[beheadofworship.livejournal.com]

Droning is a form of punishment here, as I understand it. I can't think of a good reason either.

[unless they were making an example of her for trying to protect people, but the town didn't even do anything sinister on that night, so... he doesn't say anything to that respect]

My associates tell me that I was made into a drone once. I don't remember any details of that, but she could make a recovery. We can pray for her.

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

You were? Well I suppose that is certanly something to hope for.

[beheadofworship.livejournal.com]

Yes - I have no reason to disbelieve them on that. It sounds like it had been a long period of time though. These happenings are disturbing. Still, let's try to keep the faith.

Are you going to be fine?

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

Fine?...[have a dark chuckle]

I haven't been fine for a long while. ....

I'll manage.

[beheadofworship.livejournal.com]

....

[He's not sure what to make of that reaction. But for now, he decides to withhold judgment]

Good.

What about Riza?

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

She's become a drone.

[bustydefense.livejournal.com]

I... I see.

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

Did you know her well?

[bustydefense.livejournal.com]

No. But I know people who do.

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

I see..

I haven't had much of a response. I...I suppose I was rather hoping she wasn't leaving anyone behind here.

[There is a deep sigh]

[bustydefense.livejournal.com]

There are a number of people here from her world. Perhaps they haven't heard yet.

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

...oh.

If...if you happen to see any of them would you mind telling them?

[bustydefense.livejournal.com]

Of course. Thank you.

[luminols.livejournal.com]

Who?

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

Riza Hawkeye.

[luminols.livejournal.com]

So you've said. She had a party before, didn't she?

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

Yes...that was at our house.
A..a..masked Halloween party.
