Hi, everyone. 

As foreman of the section of the factory responsible for producing canned beets, I'm pleased to announce that we've pretty much got things covered for the rest of the week.  I think we're about 2000 cans of beets over where we need to be.  In light of your hard work over the last few months as members of the Glorious Amazing Incredibly Happy People of Um, Prola . . Prolatarines That Hate America, I think it's fair that everyone who works in the beet-produce section should get the next few days off to think about how much you love communism and how happy we all are and how you want to stay out of trouble for sure definitely.

If anyone needs me, I'm going to be, um . . . somewhere far away, I think.  And if anyone asks why you're not at the factory, remember that you have permission from your foreman to stay indoors and not cause trouble until this all blows over.  I mean, until the end of the week.

And if I make any more telephone announcements after this that sound stupid, you should ignore it.

[ffff Why so brave and adorable.]

I'm sure those at the factory will appreciate it. Do you need anything, Lucas?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Thanks. But the only thing there really is around here now is beets, and I think I've got enough of those. Not that I actually have 2000 extra, but.

...Lucas. [FFFFFFF]

Hi, Mr. Netherlands. What do they have you doing now?

[wolf-wolves.livejournal.com]

That was ballsy.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

The less people in the factory, the less people who might get hurt or droned or something. Anyway, it's not fair to make people make 2000 cans of beets just so I can pass a quota.

Lucas, are you okay?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Luke! I'm OK right now. How have you been holding up?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Well. That was stupidly brave.

You're a foreman?

[Congratulations Lucas. You've peeked Pokey's interest enough that he's actively following you over the phone network.]

[Lucas isn't sure how he feels about having Porky stalk him. Maybe the POWER OF FRIENDSHIP AND LOVE will finally get through to him. But really, it's kinda creepy.]

That's what they said.

[teacup-parry.livejournal.com]

Interesting. Well, it seems we both may find ourselves in unpleasant situations in the future.

. . . What did you do, Miss Shina? Or what were you supposed to do?

[sailor-starfish.livejournal.com]

Fuuko is confused. How did you get a job when Fuuko is older then you?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

. . . Huh? Maybe it has to do with matu --

Oh, um. Actually. They told me to tell you that you have a special job. Once you're finished with school everyday, you have to find one starfish or something that looks like a starfish and bring it home and put it in your room as a decoration.

[redorblueshot.livejournal.com]

Uuuuu, no fair. You passed the quota already.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

What? Well, sort of. Not exactly. Are you one of the foremen, too?

[relaxiamadoctor.livejournal.com]

Ah, you're a foreman? I have been given the job of improving all the cows by Friday. I have a plan, but I may need to make use of some of the assembly lines to follow through with it~

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

You need to . . . improve the cows? And you want to use the assembly lines?

. . .

Um. Go ahead, I guess. I won't be using them.

[not-oflegend.livejournal.com]

Hey. Is everything alright?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

I made it OK through the first day. How about you, Miss Alice?

Lucas! How are you holding up?! I haven't been worried, because I know you're stronger and braver than I could ever hope to be. I just hope what ever you've decided to do, you know you've got me on your side.. I know it must seem weird or strange that after so little time, I'm trying to be so close with you..

I don't want to sound creepy or.. ya' know? But.. I feel like something is just there between us. Like.. We're the same person. I dunno. It all sounds really strange and I can understand you wanting to back away. It must be tough wanting to get close to people here, what with how frequently they come and go.

You can call it a weakness, but where I come from, friends are the strongest asset a person can have. It sounds selfish, too, but.. I don't know what I'm trying to say now.. Other than that.. W-Well.. You're a good friend to me, Lucas. I don't know why I feel this way, but I don't care. I'm proud to have met you here in Mayfield. If today was the last day I had being alive, I'd say right before they pulled the trigger, "Lucas is the greatest kid I've ever met."

.. There. *phew* I said it. Sorry 'bout that.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

[nessbound.livejournal.com]

Yeah.. I hope we can make many more friends, Lucas! Then, one day, we'll find our way out of here together. No one will be left behind. If we work together, nothin' can beat us!!

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh. We just have to keep on believing . . . That in the end, everything will work out the way it should.

[Lucas does not tell Ness that once they're gone, they'll probably forget about each other. There's just no point. And in the end, what matters is the time they spent together . . . right?]

[katto-katto.livejournal.com]

This almost sounds like subversive behavior, comrade.

((Ahhh I only saw this just now when I was going back to tag my entries. T_T I am so sorry. Maybe the notif borked? Or maybe I just suck.))

. . . Gosh. Does it really? Maybe you should be less paranoid.
