There is No Single Truth - Stage 1

"The town is doing something, making people tell the truth about everything.  If you feel the need to tell it to everyone, call me and I can set up a hologram of someone who can nod, but has no hearing capacity.  That way you can tell it anything you want and suffer no real risks.  I'm somewhat compromised myself, but luckily all my secrets are stupid so its mostly harmless...  Still I've had the oddest thoughts about neurotoxin chemical compounds."

[If Ruri knows you, and you've either spewed insanity on the phone or gone completely quiet, she'll be knocking at your door with her usual deadpan look]

"A stupid question but...  You seem to be an expert.  Would you be willing to tell someone what exactly love is?"

"Scott is acting a little weird, I think whatever is in the air is hitting him doubly hard, would it be okay if I stayed with one of you for a few days, either till this blows over or the droning issue happens?  Its not that I'm really worried about safety, but he locked himself in the only bathroom."

"People have been acting strange so I wanted to check up on my friends... And I was curious if Lyon bought that dog she wanted."

[Then she pondered why she said the second part, it was true, but pointless... Oh well.]

[sting-like-a.livejournal.com]

Well, I dunno about the others, but I'm feeling okay.

And Lyon did bring home a puppy earlier, yup! I didn't know you two were friends~

"We've met a few times by work and she really wanted the puppy. I'm glad I could have helped her, this place needs more things like that. I am glad you're feeling okay though, several people have been struck by the urge to blather on about every secret they have."

[sting-like-a.livejournal.com]

Yeah, everyone's been acting weird again, huh? I dunno, I don't really have any secrets... and I'm proud to be a Communist, so I'm not gonna hide that from the stupid town~

[Oh, Miakis.

Also, PEEEEEEEEERING.]

"Helped her"?

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"I thought you were from a feudal society, not a socialist one."

"Yes, I gave her $80 to purchase it, she seemed down and I never buy anything with my money from work."

[sting-like-a.livejournal.com]

Does it matter?

[Yeah, she has no idea what a communist is.]

...Ruriiiiii, that's a lot of money! That was really nice, but don't you ever do anything for yourself?

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Well, given how communism is the extreme form of socialism and actually teaches that we are all equal it somewhat goes against a feudal system where the nobles are in charge."

[She blinks and tilts her head]

"I don't spend my money really unless there is an emergency, and it made her look so happy."

[sting-like-a.livejournal.com]

[That explanation on communism flies right over her head.]

I can pay you back, if you want! I would have bought the puppy for her anyway, if I'd known...

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"I don't spend any of the money I make anyways."

[She shrugs]

[sting-like-a.livejournal.com]

If you say so...

[Miakis is looking Ruri up and down, though, trying to figure out what size the younger girl wears. You're gonna get paid back whether you like it or not, even if it's in a really roundabout way. |D]

"They won't sell me electrical components anywhere in town."

[She shrugs, and honestly Miakis, Ruri hangs her laundry out to dry, its easy to find that stuff out if you're sneaky enough]

[sting-like-a.livejournal.com]

Can't you get a guy to buy 'em for you?

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"No, the ones I need aren't for sale in this town. They won't hit the public market for another 200 years."

[sting-like-a.livejournal.com]

...Oh. [Miakis looks a little disappointed; if it had been something that could be obtained in Mayfield, she would have made Ken or someone go and get them for her.] That kinda stinks, huh~

"It really does. At least I have Omoikane though so I don't feel completely out of touch."
