Case 53 - Turnabout Drones (0% Droned)

Okay!  What the heck is wrong with all of you today?  Everyone's acting really weird today.

[Action; Mayfield Dairy]

[Later in the day, Kay's standing outside the dairy, just sort of staring at the building as she walks all around it.  She knows there's no way in - she's cased this place before - but it's making her really uncomfortable.  Is that stupid droning machine still in there?  Was it ever there in the first place?  Is it acting up or something, or is someone in there cranking up the power?  Whatever it is, she doesn't like it.]

Who?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Nevermind.

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

No, what?

Who are they? And what do you mean, 'they got to me too'?

He's a prosecutor we're both friends with. And Klavier's a famous rock musician. He used to be your boyfriend.

[Ema hesitates, thinking.]

I only dated one man before marrying Keane. His name wasn't Klavier.

Are you sure?

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm sure. I think I'd remember my own life history.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

You'd also be wrong.

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

...no, Kay, I wouldn't.

Are you sure you're feeling all right? You're talking nonsense...

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

I don't lie, Ema. You should know that.

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

I know that! Which is why I'm worried about you.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Well... don't, okay? I know it sounds weird, but you're the one people need to be worrying about right now. Just... take a rest or something. It'll make sense tomorrow, I promise.

I hope.

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

...if you say so, Kay.

Take care of yourself, all right?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Sure. You too.
