[ballies]

And it's not hurting anyone. That's the main thing.

[ ... ]

Although, I don't know if I trust the paper here not to, in some way at some point. Whoever's writing it really likes latching onto things without evidence.

[becomemod]

Exactly, it's just good fun.

It's just a newspaper, though. As wild as it sounds, I doubt anyone will take what it says to heart.

[ballies]

Yyyyyyyyyyyyyou would be surprised what a news article can do, you know.

[becomemod]

I'd be more concerned about the one who's so easily influenced by a newspaper than the ones writing it.

[ballies]

Like I said, you'd be surprised. Critical thinking when it comes to what you read in the news isn't always people's strong point.

[becomemod]

Hm. Too bad there's not much to be done about it. The newspaper isn't going to stop writing.

[ballies]

I know, but it's not a bad idea to keep an eye on the general public opinion when a new newspaper comes out.

[becomemod]

You could also try talking to the people to find out.

[ballies]

Yeah, I did and it gave me a headache. The guy had opinions, but also didn't know a thing about what was actually going on.

[ hi crystal ]

He's been better recently though.

[becomemod]

Mm, some of them are like that. They're probably still recovering from the whole fight, too, so it makes sense they'd still be a bit confused.

But they can help you get an idea of general opinion, at least.

[ballies]

Yeah, that they don't question anything until you shout at them mid-execution? [ i'd say poor sampo, but i refuse to pity him. ]

But... well, we can see the aftermath with all the rebuilding that's going on. How badly did what happen effect the citizens as well as you guys?

[becomemod]

Why should they question something they're used to?

[ exhausting. ]

...We managed to evacuate a number of people, but it happened to fast to get everyone out. Many lives were lost that day.

[ballies]

A little questioning never hurt. When people get complacent, that's when things go wrong, right?

[ ... ]

Mm. So they're dealing with the fall out from that, as well as everything else that's happening now.

[becomemod]

Right. And it's good to get whatever information you can.

[ reconnaissance! ]

That's right. Some people came back after the whole thing was done to help with the reconstruction. Some of them came to see the wreck for themselves. Everyone has their reasons.

[ballies]

… Is it true that the moon attacked this place? Not like… fell from the sky or something like that?

[becomemod]

Both are true. It did fall, and it did attack us - the latter just happened to be in a different form.

[ballies]

… How though? The moon… fell and transformed into something else?

[ she’s thinking of like. transformers, roll out. ]

[becomemod]

I didn't see it all for myself. It crashed into the city and disappeared, so transforming isn't out of the question.

It could have something to do with the man in white, but we don't know for sure.

[ballies]

It crashed and vanished, but still somehow attacked people--? [ help.


wait-- ]

A man in white?

[becomemod]

[ nods. ] Yes. He was surprisingly strong - killed the others before we had a chance to do anything about it. He disappeared after the fight, but no one knows for sure what happened to him.

[ballies]

… Oh, the four who— [ monument. looks at one being black dragon and looks at ray. ]

…

He only appeared after the moon fell? And then the moon— you had no idea what happened to it?

[becomemod]

[ hm? ]

That's right. As for the moon, it was there the whole time we were fighting the man, and then it went back into the sky after.
