USER: #A5211F - Bogeyman (Forward dated to the 26th)
(color)
The bogeyman that was hiding in town has finally been defeated, but it was at the cost of three lives. Dave, John and Dextera. I couldn't save them. I'm sorry.
Okuyasu and Asuka are badly injured, but are currently being treated for it. [He is too? He's bleeding all over his laptop, but it's fine.]
Dextera's body changed into something else, but the other two are still remaining. I think they both have family here, or something close. You can contact me and I'll tell you where they are, so you can arrange a burial or whatever you think is best.
I take full responsibility for this. There's still going to be a defense force meeting at the beginning of next month, so we can talk about it then. I know there could still be people missing from the werewolf thing, too, so keep your eyes open for them, alive or otherwise. If you have questions, I'll try to answer them.
That's all.
[Of course, after this, he'll be in his room at his laptop, so people are free to come bother him. He's covered in blood, most notably a stab wound straight through his chest at the heart, and it looks like he's only partially been able to deal with that. He's not bleeding out as quickly? But his healing isn't working. He's only just barely come back to consciousness from Mahiru taking over.]

I'd say you just went through a lot more trouble on everyone's behalf, so you don't owe me an apology.
[ If Guren can get himself stabbed on the verge of bleeding out to take out a threat to the town, Joshua can damned well put some bandages on him. ]

[He breathes out a sigh, heavier than anything else he's ever expressed freely.]
Too many people and you lose the control of a direct attack like this, in limited space. Too few, and you don't have the power. I thought it was a good number, and a good match of abilities, but then it screwed with all of them and brought out fears that got in the way.
I don't think there was any way to get out of that unscathed.

Group cohesion is delicate. I used to always work alone...but then I knew there were some opponents I'd never be able to take head-on, that way.
[ He was able to do a lot, but he knew perfectly well that without the element of surprise, he was the weakest of the Enforcers. Every plan he made had to account for that. ]
...I think we have to assume that anything we face here is going to know exactly what the worst thing it can throw at us is.
no subject
[It's not fair. It's all his fault, and of course he'll say so. Guren doesn't wince at all as his wounds are cleaned, continuing to sit still.]
no subject
...I think that knowing the worst thing it can throw at us, in this case, extends to knowing that hurting the others is the quickest way to get to you.
[ Guren's a leader, Guren's taken responsibility for the group? Bam. Instant pain. ]
no subject
[It's cold, maybe, but the coldness isn't meant for Joshua. It's for himself. He was the responsible leader, the adult, and he screwed it up. That's just how it is.]
no subject
[ It's not really a tone anyone here has heard him take much, save Estelle. They've heard Joshua being politely good-natured, serious and remote, calmly self-deprecating.
This is cold, but like Guren, it's not really coldness directed at the other half of the conversation. It's just logic, but applied so hard there's no room in it for feeling - good or bad. ]
Call it a consideration for next time. It's reasonable to assume that, given the chance, this is how it'll strike at you again.
no subject
But he knows that Joshua means the town as a whole. Anything it throws at him. His friends and family are always the targets, though. He's always used to that. It's his weakness, isn't it? Kureto would say so. Apparently Crowley would, as well.
But he can't stop caring. He never could.
So he just sits in silence, thinking. Usually, the less he says, the more he's thinking.]
