Did Officer Grady just say that he's going to punish the whole fucking town for this?!

I-I didn't do anything, I swear! I was just minding my own business, dammit! I don't deserve this! Chigiiiiii!

[Actually, Romano had participated in some of the rioting himself when he saw everyone else destroying the town. He's just being his cowardly self.]

Pray...for what, exactly? Rolling heads, or avoiding them?

Yes, he said it indeed. Aren't you looking forward to the punishment he will deal out? I can only imagine the horrible cruelty that will befall this town.

Ah, maybe heads will roll. One can only pray...

Re: Pray...for what, exactly? Rolling heads, or avoiding them?

[ciaobastards]

R-rolling heads?! Fuck, I don't want that! And I don't want to know anything about the punishments, either. I'm innocent! Innocent!

[beatssuperpaper]

Ah, the eternal mantra of those facing execution. It sure seems to be like they say: The best screams always come from those who just said a tired line like that.

[ciaobastards]

But if Grady punishes the whole town, you're going to get punished, too! And who the fuck would want that?!

[beatssuperpaper]

It is not so much wanting it, as being interested in both what he can do, and how the pieces in Mayfield react to it. A beheading or two would be a small price for that knowledge, no?

[ciaobastards]

F-fine! But I just don't want to be punished for something I didn't do, dammit!

[beatssuperpaper]

You point out quite often how innocent you are. This is actually somewhat suspicious.

You were rioting, weren't you.

[ciaobastards]

Would an innocent person want to be guilty, huh?! I just told everyone on the phone, I just stayed at home!

[beatssuperpaper]

If you cannot even fool me, I wonder if you can fool the town. I wonder if the town gives extra punishment to liars...

[ciaobastards]

Just-just be quiet!

[And with a few remaining sobs, he hangs up the phone. Congrats, you have successfully managed to really freak out an Italian.]

Hah, what a fun piece to play with. I shall enjoy toying with him the next time...he he he he...

[And she got exactly what she wanted. She's not nicknamed Trollkastel for nothing]
