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."

"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."

... Eh? He's acting that weird..? U-um, sorry if this is a rude question, but.. is he okay? What's going on..?

"The town is doing something and it made Scott openly declare love for several young girls including me. Since he's not the type to do anything he's locked himself in the bathroom in shame and... There's only one bathroom in this house."

[imoutos]

Ah, that's.. I'm not sure if you could stay over here right now, s-sorry.. It seems Japan-san has locked himself in the basement..

"Its all right. It sounds like things are hard for you as well. When things get crazy here its kind of irritating."

[imoutos]

Hmm, this time it isn't that bad though, right..? I don't think anyone has really gotten hurt yet-- aside from that thing on the news a few days ago..

"Well, the people calling themselves communists at the final stage of this may be targeted by the town in the next phase, but that's true, so far it hasn't been lethal."

[imoutos]

... E-eh? Targeted by the town.. Why?! Many of my friends are calling themselves communists!

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Mine too. I'm not sure if this means something since the people being sent after them are also prisoners, but, I'm trying to find out."

[imoutos]

Um.. Do you think something bad will happen to them..? ... Maybe we should warn them somehow..

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"I've been trying to talk them out of their admission since most of them don't even know what communism is."

[imoutos]

I thought that was a little strange.. Even oji-san was talking about being a communist, but how could he know he is one if he doesn't know what it is..?

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"My suspicion is that some people are suffering from the truth gas in the air differently. The town is making them say they are communist and the truth gas is to lend credence to that claim. Its almost like its setting up a giant snipe hunt."

[imoutos]

Truth gas..?

[ Yeah, she hadn't even really noticed. ]

D-do you mean they've been putting gas in the air here?

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"That's the most logical explanation of why everyone has been blurting their deepest darkest secrets over the phone lines."

[imoutos]

That's true, but.. do you really think they would have enough of that for the whole city?

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Given the things I've seen them do in the past. Yes."

[imoutos]

T-that's awful.. Is there anything we can do to help the people who think they're communists?

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"I... I don't know. I'm still trying to figure that out."

[imoutos]

Maybe we can both do our best and try to figure out something to help them..

"A good plan. The more of us working together the faster we'll handle this. Give me a minute and I'll set Omoikane to give you full access to his data files."

[imoutos]

Hmm, okay! I.. promise to do my very best for this..!

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Ok. You now have vocal clearance to Omoikane too. As soon as I get a transmitter watch I'll give it to you but otherwise you need to be within 100 meters of my home and you can access the computer grid."

[imoutos]

Um.. thank you so much for helping me out! I'm sure we can do this together..!

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"You as well. Its nice to have a friend to work with."

[imoutos]

Isn't it..? I didn't really have anything like this back home, so.. working together to help people is actually a lot of fun.
