Jogs over and removes earphones. Looks between everyone there.
"Wait, now I'm even more confused"
Roldan DrakenhardtBOTToday at 8:56 PM
"no one better get stabbed. No one better make me have to arrest anybody."
Liun Rukt'InBOTToday at 8:57 PM
“I know, shouldn’t have come, but I want some answers Roldan. And I’d only use it in self defence, you know I’m good >:T”
Jake MachinBOTToday at 8:57 PM
"Can someone tell me who wanted to speak with me?"
Jazz AudronBOTToday at 8:57 PM
"Wait, is the Veil going to get stabbed by that spear...? Is that what it's for?"
Konpeitō HatsuBOTToday at 8:57 PM
Ew, heat. Moves back a bit.
Roldan DrakenhardtBOTToday at 8:57 PM
"No one is getting stabbed. Fucking hell people."
Angelo GenoveseBOTToday at 8:58 PM
Glances to Jake. "No one knows, officially."
Liun Rukt'InBOTToday at 8:58 PM
“What? No.” He looks at Jazz.
Lord Ghum (Mason)BOTToday at 8:58 PM
Internally wanting the veil to get stabbed now
Jake MachinBOTToday at 8:58 PM
"You all got the message?" Trying to piece it together
Aedes PriftiBOTToday at 8:58 PM
"Seems like it."
Roldan DrakenhardtBOTToday at 8:58 PM
"Listen. We don't know who sent out that text. But everyone got it so we're dealing with, at the very least, someone who can manipulate communication systems."
Angelo GenoveseBOTToday at 8:59 PM
"Everyone I know got it. So it seems like an everyone kind of thing. Not sure how many people will come."
Jazz AudronBOTToday at 8:59 PM
"I mean, spears are for stabbing."
Liun Rukt'InBOTToday at 8:59 PM
“We did.”
Roldan DrakenhardtBOTToday at 8:59 PM
"No one is getting stabbed."
Jake MachinBOTToday at 8:59 PM
Oh heck no. Got a bad feeling about this
Liun Rukt'InBOTToday at 8:59 PM
“Doesn’t mean I will actually use it to stab, damn, kid.”
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 8:59 PM
"It's... It's time."
Jazz AudronBOTToday at 9:00 PM
"That's good. No one should get stabbed... that would be bad."
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 9:00 PM
"It'll be here any second..."
Konpeitō HatsuBOTToday at 9:00 PM
Stares at his phone. "Yep. Almost time."
Angelo GenoveseBOTToday at 9:00 PM
Winces at Yuki. "You make it sound so... ominous."
Roldan DrakenhardtBOTToday at 9:00 PM
He just looks at Liun. "Yeah well you brought a weapon to a public space when tensions are high."
Aedes PriftiBOTToday at 9:00 PM
"Well about time. I wanna see what is up."
Brody ArsenioBOTToday at 9:00 PM
You know...he's just going to go towards were all the NPC DCA students are at. Because he's popular with them.
Scene MasterBOTToday at 9:00 PM
2PM hits and... nothing happens. Or at least nothing obvious.
Roldan DrakenhardtBOTToday at 9:00 PM
he exhales slowly, looking around.
heat dissipating
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 9:01 PM
"Complete focus breathing pattern..."
Jake MachinBOTToday at 9:01 PM
"Maybe this was just some lame joke"
Jazz AudronBOTToday at 9:01 PM
"People are afraid of the Veil...? I don't understand."
Roldan DrakenhardtBOTToday at 9:01 PM
into his radio "anything out of the ordinary?"
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 9:01 PM
"We can't let our guards down, everyone..."
Ace, Mahalia and Yuki look ready for war.
Liun Rukt'InBOTToday at 9:02 PM
He looks around, body relaxed. “Huh...”
Roldan DrakenhardtBOTToday at 9:02 PM
"Kid, you're talking like you're looking to murder someone. Unclench. Calm down."
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 9:02 PM
"I wish it were that easy..."
He grimaces.
Konpeitō HatsuBOTToday at 9:02 PM
He's hardcore staying away from Yuki's servants. The discomfort is plain on his face.
Angelo GenoveseBOTToday at 9:02 PM
"I'm not sure I'm... afraid of the Veil? It's just... a big unknowable thing."
Jake MachinBOTToday at 9:03 PM
Wanders over to Yuki. "Hey, it's gonna be fine. Probably just some kids"
Konpeitō HatsuBOTToday at 9:03 PM
"I'm suspicious of the Veil."
Roldan DrakenhardtBOTToday at 9:04 PM
"I'm just ready for some direct responses. Honestly it's just been one thing after another."
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 9:04 PM
You can see a little of the tension in his shoulders release. "I'm praying that it's just that. The kind officer told me to be ready for trouble..."
Is that sarcasm? Shade?
Jazz AudronBOTToday at 9:04 PM
"I do not understand. Why are people afraid? They are acting like they will be attacked."
Roldan DrakenhardtBOTToday at 9:05 PM
"I mean. I get it. People are wary from past experience with things like the corn maze. But if you go into these situations expecting someone to die, someone's gonna die."
Aedes PriftiBOTToday at 9:06 PM
"Hey I am not afraid, unlike the rest of these bedwetters."
Jake MachinBOTToday at 9:06 PM
A little concerned about the dying comment. "Hey, how about we head off somewhere?" @Yuki
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 9:07 PM
Looks to Ace and Mahalia, who nod at him. "...that might be for the best..."
Liun Rukt'InBOTToday at 9:07 PM
Liun sighs, putting his hands in his pockets as he looks around again.
Konpeitō HatsuBOTToday at 9:07 PM
Keeps checking his phone. Looks a little more relaxed now. A little more bored too.
Jazz AudronBOTToday at 9:07 PM
Jazz speaks up a bit so more people will hear her. "Sorry. Why are people acting like they'll be attacked?"
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 9:08 PM
Starts walking away from the stage (not that he was close to it in the first place)
Lord Ghum (Mason)BOTToday at 9:08 PM
"Because some people are scared of the unknown."
"And some are being eeextraaa cautious."
Roldan DrakenhardtBOTToday at 9:09 PM
he nods at Mason's comment. "Also past experience has shown people that some things like this are malicious. But the Twelve aren't malicious and they had a weird cryptic event thing going on."
Jake MachinBOTToday at 9:09 PM
Stays close to Yuki "Nothing's gonna happen"
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 9:10 PM
"But where do we go...?" Yuki looks at Jake, and honestly he looks so conflicted and trapped.
Jazz AudronBOTToday at 9:10 PM
"But the Veil isn't unknown, is it?"
Jake MachinBOTToday at 9:11 PM
"Literally anyway. Being around people like this won't do any good. So, where'd ya wanna go?"
Roldan DrakenhardtBOTToday at 9:11 PM
"Pick a direction. Honestly, we're in a park." @Yuki
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 9:11 PM
"Let's... Let's go to the centre of town, I guess. Literally anywhere away from here. " With that, he exits the scene in earnest.
Roldan DrakenhardtBOTToday at 9:13 PM
looks around, tension lowering but not quite leaving
Jake MachinBOTToday at 9:13 PM
"Sure" Looks back at people before following him.
Jogs over and removes earphones. Looks between everyone there.

Encountered: Yuki Hayashi (Hope the Bard).
Tried to comfort Yuki after his panic attack and get to know one another. Discover that they danced together at the masquerade ball and found out it was Yuki's birthday. Both went for crepes to celebrate.

Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 9:15 PM
Ace and Mahalia support Yuki as he collapses against the park gates, breathing heavily. Is that a panic attack? Yep, it's a panic attack. And it's a bad one.
"Can't... Breathe..." He gasps between each breath.
Jake MachinBOTToday at 9:19 PM
"Oh god!" Doesn't know what to do
Crouches down in front of him "Hey, hey, look at me"
"Just breathe, it's fine"
"Nothing's gonna happen. We're out of there."
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 9:22 PM
"Haaah... Haaah... Haaah..." Just looks at Jake, trying to nod. Mahalia brings out a feather and drops it. Yuki stares at it and his breathing slows a little.
"Hey..." He looks at Jake.
"Thanks..."
Nods at Mahalia and Ace, who give them their privacy.
Jake MachinBOTToday at 9:24 PM
"No worries. I think it was more your friend there though." Nods over to Mahalia
"You good?"
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 9:25 PM
Still breathing hard, but it's slowing down. He closes his eyes and breathes in, out, in out...
Jake MachinBOTToday at 9:26 PM
"All that back there was just some stupid prank. You have nothing to worry about." Hoping what he's saying is true.
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 9:29 PM
"Gimme a sec..." Crawls into the nearby bushes and you hear retching.
Now a bit of sobbing.
Jake MachinBOTToday at 9:29 PM
Does he go and comfort him?
Decides to give him some space
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 9:30 PM
A few minutes later, he comes out, looking as composed as possible. Which isn't very composed. His gear is dirty and his eyes look red. And yes, he rinsed his mouth with water.
Jake MachinBOTToday at 9:31 PM
Just looks at him with concern, upset that he is feeling that way
Pats the floor beside him. "Come sit, we can just chat."
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 9:32 PM
"That sounds good... Not sure if I want to go to town like this."
Gives a weak laugh. If you look closely, you can see he's still trembling.
Jake MachinBOTToday at 9:33 PM
"I'm Jake"
crosses his legs, his brow still furrowed
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 9:34 PM
"Yuki. And... To be honest, you sound kind of familiar."
"...Sorry. That must be weird coming out of nowhere." He laughs.
Jake MachinBOTToday at 9:35 PM
Gives a small smile. "Yeah, somehow I think we've met before. Though, I never introduced myself."
"Nice to meet ya, Yuki"
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 9:35 PM
Smiles a little more genuinely. "Likewise."
Jake MachinBOTToday at 9:36 PM
"You're a very impressive dancer." Smiles, trying to get his mind off of the situation.
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 9:38 PM
Eyes widen, surprised. So this was the guy from the ball???
"Wow... Well, you're not bad, yourself." He's not blushing. He's not embarrassed. No siree.
Jake MachinBOTToday at 9:40 PM
Chuckles. "You don't have to lie to make me feel better."
"I was teeeeeeeerrible."
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 9:42 PM
"That's not true!"
"You learnt seriously fast."
His eyes gloss over, memories in his head. "It was a good night... If only it weren't the same night all this started." He looks troubled again.
"I don't know why I'm telling all this to someone who's nearly a stranger, but... To be honest, I feel like a coward."
Jake MachinBOTToday at 9:44 PM
"A coward, why?"
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 9:46 PM
"I told myself I was going to find out what had happened and get to the bottom of all this, but when it came to it?" He looks seriously down. "I left. I wussed out."
Jake MachinBOTToday at 9:47 PM
"Hey, you're new here and you're young. No good throwing yourself head first into this. This is a mystery that even gods can't figure out so don't beat yourself up."
"Plus, if something were to turn up, I'm pretty sure you would have beaten their ass with that look you were giving. Plus your buddies over there." Smiles and gentle nudges his arm.
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 9:50 PM
Laughs a little, smiling sheepishly. "You... You think?"
Jake MachinBOTToday at 9:50 PM
"Definitely."
"Trust me: sometimes it's better to just walk away here."
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 9:52 PM
"I guess..."
"I guess if you say so."
Taking a swig of his water.
Jake MachinBOTToday at 9:53 PM
Doesn't want to worry him by telling him his experiences. "Besides, there's too much cool stuff to see here than to worry about the night being longer"
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 9:55 PM
"Like what?" He lifts an eyebrow at Jake.
Jake MachinBOTToday at 9:58 PM
"Well, there's the space station... which is not available. Err... the food festival is this week. Christmas is also so fucking beautiful here too."
"The people are pretty amazing too. I bet you have some hidden talents of your own." Smiles at him.
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 10:05 PM
Is not blushing. Is not. Is not. Stop doing this to him aaaaaaaargh! "Buh--wha--ah-—"
Jake MachinBOTToday at 10:06 PM
A little worried. "Hey, it's fine. Ya don't need to tell me."
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 10:06 PM
"Right..." Coughing slightly.
Jake MachinBOTToday at 10:07 PM
"I get it. Some people don't want to talk about."
"Me, I'm a werewolf." Big grin.
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 10:07 PM
"Yeah, don't worry. It's fine."
"Oh! A werewolf, huh ? That's pretty cool."
Jake MachinBOTToday at 10:08 PM
"Yep! Don't worry I ain't gonna eat ya or anything."
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 10:09 PM
"I assumed so." He laughs.
"I met a werehuman before, but this is my first time meeting a werewolf. I think."
Jake MachinBOTToday at 10:11 PM
"Awesome. Yeah, there's a bunch of us here. I live with my pack." Seems really happy about that last part.
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 10:11 PM
"Oh geez, you're an Alpha? That's pretty amazing!"
Jake MachinBOTToday at 10:12 PM
"Woah, no. I ain't an Alpha." Laughs hard.
"Yeesh Imagine"
"There's no way I could lead people."
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 10:12 PM
"Oh... I just assumed..."
Jake MachinBOTToday at 10:13 PM
"Haha no worries. No, my alpha is called Paragon."
Hope the BardToday at 10:14 PM
Yuki: "Paragon. That sounds like something right out of a movie."
Yuki: "Sheesh, if I knew coming here would mean I'd spend my birthday without being able to talk to any of my old friends or family, I might not have come in the first place..."
Jake MachinBOTToday at 10:16 PM
"Wait, it's your birthday?"
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 10:16 PM
"...yeah."
Jake MachinBOTToday at 10:17 PM
"Oh, happy birthday!"
"Well then it's definitely not the day to be worrying"
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 10:18 PM
"Thanks! And it'd be nice if I could stop worrying, but..."
Jake MachinBOTToday at 10:19 PM
"What d'ya wanna do today then. Can't sit down here on your birthday!" Jumps up to his feet.
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 10:23 PM
Gets up too. "Well, uh... I don't know. Any suggestions?"
"Anything to get my mind off things would work..."
Jake MachinBOTToday at 10:24 PM
Hmm tries to think what he would like.
"What would you usually do on your birthday?
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 10:26 PM
"Well... I'd normally go for a meal with my parents and my brother, but..." He looks crestfallen again.
Jake MachinBOTToday at 10:27 PM
Crap... "Well we can go to the movies or something?"
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 10:27 PM
"And then my mum would make crêpes for that one special day, every year, without fail..."
"I bet she's worried sick..."
Jake MachinBOTToday at 10:29 PM
"I'm sure this will be over soon and you can talk to them again. Pretty sure there's a place that sells crepes in town. Gotta keep up tradition!" Tries and smiles
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 10:30 PM
Manages to brighten up a bit. "Yeah. Let's go. Ace, Mahalia, you can take a break if you'd like. Things seem safe here. " They nod their heads, leaving. Yuki waves. "So. About those crepes..."
Jake MachinBOTToday at 10:31 PM
"Sure!" Heads out with him.
Ace and Mahalia support Yuki as he collapses against the park gates, breathing heavily. Is that a panic attack? Yep, it's a panic attack. And it's a bad one.
"Can't... Breathe..." He gasps between each breath.
Jake MachinBOTToday at 9:19 PM
"Oh god!" Doesn't know what to do
Crouches down in front of him "Hey, hey, look at me"
"Just breathe, it's fine"
"Nothing's gonna happen. We're out of there."
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 9:22 PM
"Haaah... Haaah... Haaah..." Just looks at Jake, trying to nod. Mahalia brings out a feather and drops it. Yuki stares at it and his breathing slows a little.

"Plus, if something were to turn up, I'm pretty sure you would have beaten their ass with that look you were giving. Plus your buddies over there." Smiles and gentle nudges his arm.
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 9:50 PM
Laughs a little, smiling sheepishly. "You... You think?"
Jake MachinBOTToday at 9:50 PM
"Definitely."
"Trust me: sometimes it's better to just walk away here."
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 9:52 PM
"I guess..."
"I guess if you say so."
Taking a swig of his water.
Jake MachinBOTToday at 9:53 PM
Doesn't want to worry him by telling him his experiences. "Besides, there's too much cool stuff to see here than to worry about the night being longer"
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 9:55 PM
"Like what?" He lifts an eyebrow at Jake.
Jake MachinBOTToday at 9:58 PM
"Well, there's the space station... which is not available. Err... the food festival is this week. Christmas is also so fucking beautiful here too."
"The people are pretty amazing too. I bet you have some hidden talents of your own." Smiles at him.
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 10:05 PM
Is not blushing. Is not. Is not. Stop doing this to him aaaaaaaargh! "Buh--wha--ah-—"
Jake MachinBOTToday at 10:06 PM
A little worried. "Hey, it's fine. Ya don't need to tell me."
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 10:06 PM
"Right..." Coughing slightly.
Jake MachinBOTToday at 10:07 PM
"I get it. Some people don't want to talk about."
"Me, I'm a werewolf." Big grin.
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 10:07 PM
"Yeah, don't worry. It's fine."
"Oh! A werewolf, huh ? That's pretty cool."
Jake MachinBOTToday at 10:08 PM
"Yep! Don't worry I ain't gonna eat ya or anything."
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 10:09 PM
"I assumed so." He laughs.
"I met a werehuman before, but this is my first time meeting a werewolf. I think."
Jake MachinBOTToday at 10:11 PM
"Awesome. Yeah, there's a bunch of us here. I live with my pack." Seems really happy about that last part.
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 10:11 PM
"Oh geez, you're an Alpha? That's pretty amazing!"
Jake MachinBOTToday at 10:12 PM
"Woah, no. I ain't an Alpha." Laughs hard.
"Yeesh Imagine"
"There's no way I could lead people."
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 10:12 PM
"Oh... I just assumed..."
Jake MachinBOTToday at 10:13 PM
"Haha no worries. No, my alpha is called Paragon."
Hope the BardToday at 10:14 PM
Yuki: "Paragon. That sounds like something right out of a movie."
Yuki: "Sheesh, if I knew coming here would mean I'd spend my birthday without being able to talk to any of my old friends or family, I might not have come in the first place..."
Jake MachinBOTToday at 10:16 PM
"Wait, it's your birthday?"
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 10:16 PM
"...yeah."
Jake MachinBOTToday at 10:17 PM
"Oh, happy birthday!"
"Well then it's definitely not the day to be worrying"
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 10:18 PM
"Thanks! And it'd be nice if I could stop worrying, but..."
Jake MachinBOTToday at 10:19 PM
"What d'ya wanna do today then. Can't sit down here on your birthday!" Jumps up to his feet.
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 10:23 PM
Gets up too. "Well, uh... I don't know. Any suggestions?"
"Anything to get my mind off things would work..."
Jake MachinBOTToday at 10:24 PM
Hmm tries to think what he would like.
"What would you usually do on your birthday?
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 10:26 PM
"Well... I'd normally go for a meal with my parents and my brother, but..." He looks crestfallen again.
Jake MachinBOTToday at 10:27 PM
Crap... "Well we can go to the movies or something?"
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 10:27 PM
"And then my mum would make crêpes for that one special day, every year, without fail..."
"I bet she's worried sick..."
Jake MachinBOTToday at 10:29 PM
"I'm sure this will be over soon and you can talk to them again. Pretty sure there's a place that sells crepes in town. Gotta keep up tradition!" Tries and smiles
Yuki HayashiBOTToday at 10:30 PM
Manages to brighten up a bit. "Yeah. Let's go. Ace, Mahalia, you can take a break if you'd like. Things seem safe here. " They nod their heads, leaving. Yuki waves. "So. About those crepes..."
Jake MachinBOTToday at 10:31 PM
"Sure!" Heads out with him.
