[A familiar source of yelling is yelling. Yelling at a time when most people want to sleep.]

WHAT???

IS HAPPENING???

EVERYONE IS UP AND RUNNING AROUND AND WORRIED AND ANGRY!

WHAT IS HAPPENING?

[Guess who is a dog and thus wasn't explained anything?]

Comments

[dragoonrouge]

Wait! No!

[There's a deep, weary sigh as Chad's voice gets further away]

Bloody hell...

THERE ISN'T A WAR ANYMORE!

[channingchanningchanning]

[The yelling in the distance will go on for a little bit. Then there is some Italian to be heard in the distance before a door slams, and Chad's voice is closer by again, still yelling about THE WAR BEING HERE NO LET HIM OUT HE NEEDS TO FIGHT!!!!!!]

[dragoonrouge]

Please calm down, it's alright!

[Tigger starts mewling at the continued disturbance of fuss time, Sadie quietly chitters and meows to settle her cats before trying to calm down the man.]

You need to stop shouting, there is no war, you're perfectly safe!

[channingchanningchanning]

[At least she just successfully distracted him from barking at the door?]

BUT YOU JUST SAID THAT THERE IS ONE!

[dragoonrouge]

No no no. There was a war. It ended over sixty years ago.

Sometimes they find old stuff from the war and they get rid of it. That's what's going on at the moment.

[channingchanningchanning]

...WHY IS THERE STILL OLD STUFF?

[dragoonrouge]

Because some stuff got lost, or buried, or forgotten about. It was a chaotic time and it was impossible to keep track of every bomb dropped.

[channingchanningchanning]

[He pauses, and then when she speaks again his voice is a bit distant.]

Of course it was chaotic. It was a war.

[dragoonrouge]

[Sadie frowns in concern at the drastic shift in tone and volume for this man. She had thought that he was a resident of the old people's home but...]

Are you alright?

...Did you see a memory?...

[channingchanningchanning]

I just remember the war.

[Which is ...weird? But seems like the best description.

And considering the age in his voice it's entirely believable.]

[dragoonrouge]

I'm so sorry,that must be horrible...

[Sadie is silent for a moment, trying to think of a sensitive way to put her next query.]

Please don't think you have to answer but, was there anything distinctive you saw. Maybe we can work out which war you saw?

[channingchanningchanning]

Many men died. [His speech breaks up abruptly after that.

Because... he remembers killing people. The context makes no sense, but he very distinctively remembers killing people. WHY WOULD HE HAVE DONE THAT? That just. That. No.

He's quiet.

And then any sound from his end ceases. He has things to think about and can't hold up the conversation on the side.]
