This isn't any better than back home! Two friends in prison and two in the hospital. And I know Charlie would never hurt Knox like that, not really. Something's going on, and you guys had better find out what it is and get him released from prison. He's an idiot, but he's not a criminal! He's not.

I hate this place. The school's ruled by bullies and the government's run by incompetents. There are normal people here too! Normal people who can't defend themselves against stuff from a comic book!

I don't even know what a punctured lung is.

I would have been a shitty doctor anyway.

Hi Neil, do you remember me?

[deliberately]

He didn't shoot you. And maybe I could believe he was lead astray if it was any other person, anybody else.

[disparages]

Okay, well thanks for that trip down memory lane. I was actually going to agree with you.

[deliberately]

Wait, really?

[disparages]

Look, I don't know him as well as you guys, and maybe that was for the best. And yeah, he did stand by and let a guy shoot me. But I lived with him for a while and I've seen him around Knox. It doesn't make sense why Charlie would go psychotic on him- like, sure the rest of the world, but his bff?

[deliberately]

That's it exactly. Shit, sorry. I get a little carried away sometimes.

[disparages]

It's fine, you're upset and I'm so beyond getting snapped at by teenage boys you've got like, no idea. And I've got my own reasons for figuring there's something else to this, but this helps too.

[disparages]

Sorry, too.

[magicbone]

like?

[disparages]

I'm a superpowered detective aren't I! We have our leads.

[magicbone]

well that's good! because you know. Warren in jail, um not my favorite thing ever.

[disparages]

Yeah. I kinda like it!

[magicbone]

not for something he didn't do.

[disparages]

To be fair, I'm surprised they didn't arrest him for the whole pretending to be Petrellese thing.

[magicbone]

there has been um kind of a lot of stuff lately, hasn't there? still um. I hope they let most of the people out soon.

[giantego]

Stalker poet's going to be fine.

And yeah, you would have.

[deliberately]

Don't call him that.

[deliberately]

Not your fault.

[giantego]

He doesn't mind it.

[deliberately]

Fine.

[disparages]

Yeah, but a girl can feel bad about a crappy situation.

They were hypnotized by something. I don't know what, but they weren't acting on their own.

[deliberately]

Is someone going to tell the police that? Is there proof? But, thanks, I guess.

[markedphoenix.livejournal.com]

Nothing substantial that the police would actually buy into.

Doesn't Mr. Dalton want to start a revolution?

[deliberately]

Captain Kennit wants to start a revolution. Charlie just wants a reason to break the rules, throw everything in people's faces. But Knox, he'd never hurt Knox like that, not on purpose.

[deliberately]

I hope you tell them anyway, I really do. Because even if you don't believe you, maybe it'll incite them to start looking for factual evidence.

[postits]

Neither of them want to start a revolution, Mr. Perry. They just want power. There's a difference.

[deliberately]

Don't talk to me. And don't call me that, Mr. Perry is my father.

[postits]

You kids and your patriarchal loathing.

Did I wrong you in some way?

[deliberately]

I know who you are, that's enough. I don't want to hear about how Charlie's the bad guy. Just go.

[postits]

I'm afraid I'm a far deal more stubborn than you are, Perry. Misguided, yes. Villainous, no. I'm just trying to explain to you that their idea of a revolution is far from what one actually looks like.

[qinglongweiji.livejournal.com]

I see. That makes sense.
