Everyone. It's Joe.

I uh, think I've got a fair idea of what might've gone wrong. If y'see a scarecrow around from here on in, pull it apart and break the post it stands on.

That counts fer the one that was in me garden. M'sorry guys.

[[locked to Zachariah.]]

Don't tell anyone that you helped make the scarecrow for me, okay. I mean it lad. Y'tried to help me. S'not fair of this to backfire on you.

This...this is my fault.

[dontgiveafock.livejournal.com]

No. It ain't.

[[Locked to Zachariah]]

Stop talkin'. Come see me by the boathouse. M'tryin to help you here, lad.

[helluvachin.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't say another word and sneaks off to the boathouse. Briefly he considers this might be a trap to punish him for all the trouble caused and if it was, well, he deserves it.]

[thenotmagician]

Were you not payin' the scarecrow enough?

[dontgiveafock.livejournal.com]

The bastard never said anythin' about payment. Fockin' never said anythin' at all.

[thenotmagician]

That's a damn shame. But 'least I know that crazy pumpkins and scarecrows isn't th'ordinary.

[Chagrin.

Nel needs to remember that he was Joe before he was ever staff. A good man, never pointlessly malicious toward his charges.]

You made a mistake, and you owned up to it. Blame is good for peace of mind and little else.

[dontgiveafock.livejournal.com]

I put a damn scarecrow up. Had no fockin' clue this was gonna happen.

[sacredbrand.livejournal.com]

[Her temper rises a little at that tone, but she quells most of it. He may have misunderstood.]

And I never implied that you did, Joseph.

We need CR. /paws at

[idkmybffcyclops]

Just shoot the bastards next time.

[The crows, he means.]

We doooo! Let's fix this :3

[dontgiveafock.livejournal.com]

Y'think I didn't try that? Those bastards wouldn't die.

[idkmybffcyclops]

What the fuck kind of crows you got around here?

Wait, what?

[dontgiveafock.livejournal.com]

The scarecrow at the party. The bad one. I think it's the one I put up.

[thii2ii22tupiid]

A scarecrow did this? How?

[Jael goes back and forth with herself for a bit before finally deciding to reply to Joe.]

You should not blame yourself. You made it, but you had no reason to believe it would do this, right?

[Audio]

[dontgiveafock.livejournal.com]

[Joe sighs.]

Didn't have a fockin' clue. I just wanted the crows gone so I could feed the lot of ye.

[angha-firebird.livejournal.com]

One scarecrow in a garden caused all of this?

[The disbelief and horror in Aara's tone--she's not happy, and can't quite seem to understand.]

[dontgiveafock.livejournal.com]

Aye. It's lookin' that way.

[Joe pauses.]

Sorry lass.

[Audio]

[halfbrokenwings.livejournal.com]

Joe? Will you be alright?

[Her voice is hesitant. She doesn't know if this is too personal a question to be asked seeing how the punishments are here.]

[Audio]

[dontgiveafock.livejournal.com]

[Ahhh... Isabella. Didn't she die the last time Joe tried to help before this one? He's really not doing too well with the 'helping' thing, is he.]

I'll live. Don't go worryin' 'bout me, Isa.

[audio]

[needsnobottle]

Scarecrows.

[Can you detect the disbelief in that one word? 'Cause it's pretty thick.]

[audio]

[dontgiveafock.livejournal.com]

Aye.

[Joe pauses. That's not a voice he's heard before.]

Or Scarecrow, really. Welcome to Holloway's Keep, lass. Nothin's fockin' normal here.

[Video]

[mister10below]

Wait, so all of that happened because we were trying to get rid of some crows so we could have food?

[And then he pauses.]

It's not your fault, though. Not like you knew that was going to happen.

[Audio]

[dontgiveafock.livejournal.com]

I been here long enough to know better, lad.

[That's his main beef. Other than that, Joe cares about the people in the Keep. They're friends of his.]

Next time I'll be more careful. No way in fock am I lettin' this happen to you lot again.

[Protection mode is go.]
