For those who may not know: the man to thank for yesterday's mishap goes by the name of Snow Villiers. Some of you may recall already having seen him attack the staff before now.

Feel free to post your appreciation here!

I normally ignore such antics, but I suppose it's my duty as a fellow mental patient and unwitting victim of last night's events to provide an objective account. Everything here is from memory, edited only for grammar and distasteful language. My fellow bus mates are free to verify or deny the information provided.

The incident began with Mr. Villiers (marked as V) addressing everyone at the head of the bus. A nurse (N), a female patient (F), and an orderly (O) eventually joined in on the conversation. As a note, I might as well put exclamation marks at the end of every sentence V spoke. He is that loud.

V: So this is it, huh? We just run around outside for a little while whenever they say it's okay then we file in when it's time to go back? Then what? We sit around and wait like a bunch of trained dogs 'til they give us the okay again? That what you all want? Listen, I get that not everyone here's a fighter, but if we just keep going along with this, we're going to stay stuck in here forever. Don't you see? We can't do it anymore. We can't just do nothing. The way I see it, you can all sit around day after day and wait for someone to come along and save you, or you can stand up and make something happen yourself. Don't let them trick you into thinking you're helpless. You're not. You just got to stand up and try.

N: Mr. Davidson.

V: We can all get out of here right now if we want. But we all got to do this. Together. We only get one shot.

N: Mr. Davidson. Mr. Davidson, please. Take your seat. [Inaudible sentence. Something about time, I believe.]

V: I'm not sitting down. We've been sitting here and taking this long enough. You want us to go back? Well, we're not. We're going home. [Here is where he punched N.]

F: [After restraining V with a--very nice, might I add--choke hold.] That was not very nice, was it? Hitting a defenseless woman like that. Ms. Nurse, are you alright?

O: Miss, if you'll move to the side, I can take over from here.

V: The h*** are you doing?

[V then started to thrash wildly, forcing everyone to take defensive measures and the bus to careen into the tree.]

...Were you carrying a sound recorder on you or something?

As another witness to this...incident, I'm verifying this account as the truth.

What a good memory! Thank you for writing up what transpired, so that everyone can read it for themselves.

[neat anonymous print]

[ryuuzaki]

This is very useful.

Thank you.

[heroesdontshave]

Whoa, good memory!

unsigned since it's unnecessary.

[purgatio]

Apologies for not being enough to entertain you, my dear.

[anon]

[atrabilis]

Apologies for your state are unnecessary. You know that.

[purgatio]

Ah, but you must have been so distracted to quote this by rote.

[anon]

[atrabilis]

I don't think anyone could not be distracted by that.

But it doesn't matter in the scheme of things.

[purgatio]

Mm-- [ something is started but unfinished, and then crossed out. ]

Okay.

[anon]

[atrabilis]

[After some thought on the matter:]

I'm here if you want to talk. Alright?

[purgatio]

[ The most sad-fluffy tsundere feelings. ]

...Okay.

[tasteoftruth]

I'm surprised the staff aren't handling his punishment themselves. I was looking forward to a good public lashing this morning.

[dark, childishly scrawly print]

[heroesdontshave]

Hey, that's not funny.

[tasteoftruth]

There were children out there.

[complicatedliar]

Good show, sir. Good show.

[thecamellia]

I agree that what happened on the bus was a mistake, but let's not exasperate things by picking an argument. It's over now.

Noted. Thanks for the information.

[heroesdontshave]

Didn't mean for it to turn into a show. It's too bad things didn't turn out the way we wanted, but it'll go better next time. So don't anyone get discouraged, alright?

[anon]

[madeinthehrl]

"We," or just you?

[rough scrawl; different from top post]

[propheteer]

Just him.

[toxicspiderman]

There was enough room on the other buses to double up. If they'd wanted us back inside, they could have made it happen.

Snow, man, if there's a next time in town, I'll buy you a beer.
