Me, do something stupid?

[tsuntiger]

Yes, you. Don't go outside unless you have to.

[tsuntiger]

[A shaky breath, to try and focus herself.]

[sue_of_truth]

What's gotten into you?

[tsuntiger]

Nothing! Th-this place is just... getting really scary, and everyone's getting hurt... So you have to be careful.

[sue_of_truth]

If you're afraid, stay inside and hide. I have nothing to be afraid of.

[tsuntiger]

[sue_of_truth]

If things get crazier... stay hidden.

[sue_of_truth]

...Hmph. I doubt there's anything worth learning from these silent ghosts in suits, so there's little reason not to hide.

[tsuntiger]

Then you better do just that, Erika.

[sue_of_truth]

I'm a detective; I know how to keep myself out of trouble. Stop worrying.

[tsuntiger]

I'm not [sniffle] worrying.
