[Scout's been feeling pretty good lately! He loves the cold weather and snow, Christmas is coming... of course, from what he heard about Christmas here last year, they're in for some weird stuff ahead, but he wasn't worrying about it for now. He was going to enjoy it while it lasted! To hell with Mayfield

[Watching him.]

Letter?

[freakinblur]

[He points at it. It's congratulating him on his new job as a police officer,and it's signed by Grady himself. It says his training starts Sunday.]

This is un-freakin-believable!

[miss_enma_ai]

[Picks it up to read it.]

[freakinblur]

I even checked wit' my old job! This thing's legit!

[iinchoucat]

Scout-san, watch your language!

[freakinblur]

Nope, sorry, this ios pretty much the situation where I need to curse a whole hell of a lot.

[iinchoucat]

Can you at least quiet it down. There are children in Mayfield you know. Cursing, in general, is bad behavior either way.

[freakinblur]

They'll get over it. This thing is pretty freakin' crazy, okay?

[hwamei]

Scout sounds mad. What's the letter about?

[freakinblur]

Let's just say I got a new job an' I ain't too happy about it.

[hwamei]

Maybe you'll learn to love it!

... but since this Grady guy's involved, probably not, huh?

[freakinblur]

No way! Not a chance! Especially if he's involved.

[armywithcountry]

[And he's over at Scout's house as fast as he can, letting himself in. He glances down at the letter.]

You too?

[freakinblur]

Wait, you got one too? What the crap is goin' on?!

[armywithcountry]

[He shrugs.]

Looks like they're hiring at the station. Except I definitely didn't send in an application - did you?

[freakinblur]

Of course not! Why the hell would I wanna be a cop?!

[myheart_powerup]

You got a letter from the Mr "Officer Grady"? Is everything going to be okay?

[freakinblur]

Hell if I know what he's got planned. It sucks fer me, I dunno about anyone else.

[myheart_powerup]

I see... I know this is our first time speaking and that this is rather rude of me, but um...

[ She pauses to pull herself together. ]

What did the letter say? I'd like to know everything I can about this Officer Grady person and what sorts of things he would send a letter for, if that's okay.

... u-unless it's really private. I'd understand if you'd rather not say...

[freakinblur]

Honestly? I just don't wanna say over tha phones. Don't trust it.

Who are ya, anyway?
