The house next door to mine has been attacked.

[ ... ] What others houses have been targeted? Maybe there's a correlation.

The house on 5720 Cunningham Lane was destroyed by the men in suits last night.

[kuichigiru]

That would be the house next to mine. Is that where you live?

attacked* goes for me too o////o

[thelittlecanary]

Yes, I live at that address with Ukraine and Pamela Ibis. The three of us...were home at the time of the attack.

[kuichigiru]

[ He hardly sounds sympathetic, but his tone seems to soften a little: ] ... Do you have any idea why your house was targeted?

[thelittlecanary]

I'm sorry, I don't. [And here her voice wavers despite her best efforts.] We were not sheltering the man they were looking for; I've never even seen him before. They gave no reason for their actions.

[kuichigiru]

... A scare tactic, then.

Is there anybody in your household capable of fighting?

[thelittlecanary]

[A very effective scare tactic. Garnet thought she had seen her share of horror, both back in her world and here in Mayfield, but remembering the sounds of Ukraine and Pamela screaming is enough to make her feel nauseous.] No. I tried holding them off by summoning, but not even Bahamut could defeat them...and he was injured very terribly before I could dismiss him.

[kuichigiru]

... I think that this supposed "game" is about over, then. There's not enough people in Mayfield capable of taking on these hazmats.

[ A pity. Hibari hates losing -- but he's not so prideful that he'd let himself get carried away and reckless. ] It was probably only a matter of time from the very beginning.
