Whichever one of you responsible for this madness is dead. No, scratch that, the second I get my hands on you, you will learn exactly what 'a fate worse than death' means, and I will remind you that you put yourself in this position every waking hour of every single day of the rest of your life.

Prepare yourself.

I need to speak with both of you. And I need you to promise me you will be calm.

Right. So. This gas stuff. I've been thinking and, well, I don't reckon it'd be very good if it hurt kids or folks who're pregnant and stuff.

So it's not going to. At least, not when it comes to the kids and pregnant folks who aren't from here, or whose folks aren't from here. The others, well, those're Asaph's so I reckon that's for him to decide, but the ones who aren't from Colligo aren't gonna be hurt by it.

Just thought I'd let you all know that. Seemed only right.

[ooc: we're going to pretend this was posted at the start of the plot, because real life ate me for the weekend stupid tax-free weekend while working in retail and i really meant to get it up but didn't get the chance]

I didn't mean I thought Kitty was trying to stop me. I let it get to me, whatever is happening to everyone, it got to me. I didn't know what I was doing, and she was trying to stop me.

I thought she was someone else. I didn't mean hurt her. I swear, I didn't.

I think it's time we got some revenge for our father.

Okay. Enough is enough. I know I'm not the only person in this city that this gas can't hurt and I definitely know I'm not the only one of us who is bothered by the amount of people - local and non-local alike - who are being hurt by it. So to quote a pretty amazing, tiny Antichrist the way I see it, it's time for a plan.

( Cut to spare the friends list. )

Given the recent events taking place within the city, I have been left with no decision but to declare a state of emergency. As such, martial law is now in effect and will remain as such until the situation has been resolved or, at the very least, general order has been restored.

For any who may have an objection to this decision, know that I did not come by it lightly. However it is also not a decision open for debate nor is it one I feel I am required to justify. I have complete faith in the police department's ability to properly manage the responsibility they are being given and I will not debate whether or not they are capable of such regardless of the reasons for the objections. For now, until further notice, Chief Wuornos has carte blanche to do what he sees fit, as he sees fit to do it, in order to ensure the general security of all who inhabit Colligo.

Anyone who disagrees is welcome to find elsewhere to stay until the recent bout of madness to plague the city has passed. For those who choose to remain in Colligo, thank you for your anticipated cooperation in this manner.

As Mayor Holmes has said, we are going to be enforcing Martial Law until this crisis passes. Some of you might object, but this really is the only way to ensure the general safety of the city. This is an emergency the likes of which we haven't faced before and we need to take this seriously if we have any expectation of getting through this. This is not a situation anyone should take lightly and any rules have been made solely for the safety of the populace.

From this point onward, there will be a mandatory curfew in place between the hours of 10 pm and 7 am. People will need to remain in their homes at this time unless they are part of the relief effort or have to be out for work related reasons. People found violating curfew without a valid reason will be taken into police custody for their own safety until the threat has passed.

We are also encouraging everyone to remain in their homes or in designated safe houses unless absolutely necessary even during non-curfew hours. This is not mandatory but it is strongly encouraged. We also suggest that any non-mandatory businesses close until the crisis has passed. While grocery stores, pharmacies and such are necessary in this time, recreational facilities are not. Use your own discretion, but be mindful that the safety of individuals is more important than keeping your business open.

If you need to leave your home, please contact the relief program or the police department to obtain a gas mask. If you need supplies, they can also be delivered if you get in touch with either organization. I cannot stress enough that you should remain in your homes unless absolutely necessary.

I'm formally requesting a list of individuals involved in the relief effort and anyone who wants to take part in rescue operations needs to be involved through the official operations being headed by Mrs. Winchester and Captain Rogers so that your involvement can be vouched for. Otherwise you do risk being detained.

If anyone has any questions or wishes to offer their assistance, please get in touch with myself or the heads of relief operations.
