[Video | Cellphone] Backdated to late 25th

[ John's absolutely furious. Which is very unusual, but he's tired, worn down, stressed, so whatever anger he had before working at the hospital after all this? While the damage could have been far worse... It's all the ingredients needed. ]

I do sincerely hope that all you Numbers Club people are smarter than to think blowing something up is a good way to handle this! I know there's been talk of making bombs. This is disgraceful.

Putting innocents at risk should not be a goal of ours. If it comes out that it was any of you, you'll get no sympathy from me, from anyone who has the slightest sense of decency.

[ He knows it won't actually get anyone to confess but. For the love of everything. ]

I can't believe we would have done this. I mean - isn't it more likely it's not? I know there was a girl who offered to make bombs, but...this level of damage, it's not the sort of thing that would happen without people talking about it, I don't think. And even if people were talking about doing something about those snakes, this...wouldn't be the way to go about that.

[dododo]

You don't talk about blowing up a district.

More likely... I really would like to think that. But it still is likely. Do you deny that?

voice;

[eras]

Do I deny it's likely that someone on here did this? Absolutely.

voice;

[dododo]

On what grounds?

voice;

[eras]

On the grounds I'm here talking to all of you. I have to question why you are, if you haven't decided to trust the people here at least that much, sir. I haven't spoken to anyone I'd believe capable of something of this level. The things people have suggested doing have all been for the good of not just us, but those unaffected, from what I have seen thus far. While some of the actions taken might be foolhardy at times and perfectly silly at others, I've seen nothing to suggest that anyone here would be willing to quite possibly sacrifice and endanger the lives of innocent civilians - or anyone, really - just to - I assume you believe? - get rid of some pink statues that we could just as easily avoid.

On what grounds are you suspecting people here of being the cause of something like this? What has anyone done to give you cause to think like that?

voice;

[dododo]

I haven't spoken to most people on this network, and those I have it's very seldom been more than once. I know nothing of these people. I can't know whether or not I should trust them or distrust them.

voice;

[eras]

You invited me over to your house. That implies you trust me, at least a little.

voice;

[dododo]

You're one person.

voice;

[eras]

So is everyone else on here. And I trust a number of them, from what I've gotten to know about them, and the things we've gone through together. And for those I don't know as well...they almost always have someone I do vouching for them.

While discounting a possibility might not be wise, I don't think going in the entirely opposite direction is that wise either - though I don't mean any disrespect by that.

voice;

[dododo]

I'm not going in the opposite direction. We don't know enough to go in either of them completely.

Don't you think we should talk about it? We can't ignore all of this.

voice;

[eras]

I think we should talk about everything that happens, yes, but I don't think you started out trying to talk about it? You sound really stressed, and more like you were venting, not trying to open a discussion.

[ There's a long pause, because she's the first one to actually hit the nail on the head and now that someone says it...

He takes a deep breath. ]

No, no... Yes. You're right, I'm. I am. Stressed.

voice;

[eras]

[ She's pretty sure he's a doctor, so... ]

Have you been busier than usual, or is it just...everything adding up?

voice;

[dododo]

A bit of both, perhaps. There's been attacks and disappearances, and now this...

voice;

[eras]

Things have sort of been building up, it's true. I think we have to start making more, you know. Contingency plans.

voice;

[dododo]

We probably should...

voice;

[eras]

Since we have, like, none. Currently.

voice;

[dododo]

Indeed.

[ And it doesn't help this. He just. Doesn't understand what they're doing. ]

voice;

[eras]

Though I'm not sure how to go about planning those, really.

voice;

[dododo]

Neither do I. Another thing to add to the pile. What are we actually doing? It feels like our enemy knows a lot more than we do.

voice;

[eras]

I don't think we actually have a clear collective group goal?

voice;

[dododo]

No. I suppose that's the problem.

voice;

[eras]

So, I guess step one would be...getting one of those.

voice;

[dododo]

One that's more clear than saving the earth from whatever it is we're dealing with, exactly.

voice;

[eras]

Yes, because honestly, I'm not sure everyone is even really on board with that one.
