#5 - Carnival

[He'd spent a few hours at the Carnival.  Those few hours turned into an entire day of trying to keep people out of the Freak Show and off the rides.  The drones didn't listen at all.]

There is definitely something wrong with that Carnival!  I've never seen--

Nobody should go to it.  Again, nobody should visit the Carnival.  Please don't!

[It's very easy to hear that he's frustrated and basically disturbed by all of it.]

[Action] - Mayfield Police 

[He'll go to the police station.  If there is another police officer there, he will ask them to help him.  If not, he'll leave.]

[He might succeed in bringing it down exactly one notch; then again, he might just be being realistic with Charles. His enthusiasm is off the charts! He will sound pensive, though.]

You aren't the only one who I've heard say that. Thank-you Charles, and again, thank-you for the warning.

I understand, I really do, that I can't change what happens when we have no control.

I know that I can't save everybody. But when trouble comes, everybody can save everybody, and we might just all be alright. Everybody is capable of at least one heroic deed!

[And it would sure make his job easier, sheesh.]

[he would be a little alarmed to learn that this is "being realistic" for Keith. way too much enthusiasm!!]

I believe you're both overestimating the usefulness of the general populace here and underestimating the overall strength of the town. It would be fantastic if things could work without a hitch like that, but nine times out of ten they don't. You should know to prepare for the worst.

[kingofhero]

Preparing for the worst isn't the same as 'not trying'.

Even helping one person is enough for anybody in town, again, one person.

And what if you can't manage to help even one person?
