Well first off, let's just get straight to the point and say that gossip is one hundred percent awful. It's like a game of telephone. You don't know where along the line it was distorted and warped. Norman says he's seen the lab guy and the blonde woman hanging out around the Music Box. I saw the lab guy yesterday, but there was no sign of the lady. Odd. Maybe Norman thought he saw her, but why would Norman be so paranoid about it. He was highly concerned, or so it seemed. He told me Balthazar was dealing with them and then he saw them leave the town on the run. Of course, Balthazar isn't exactly the swiftest. Shame he told me to patrol the Otami Ruins at that time. Now, Norman told me all of this right after he saw it. So the odds that whatever he told me was gossip, I'd say they're low. So. . .we headed back to town.

Norman and I met up with Balthazar after the whole debacle and he told us to assist my friend Kian with his quest to venture through Deadman's Pass. It's odd. I think Balthazar has been acting strange. Normally, Deadman's Pass is off limits to the Regulars, but here we are. He seems worried about something. After the whole quest, I went to check on him. The guy hates me and there's no doubt about, but I don't hate him (despite our bickering). He didn't tell me what was wrong, but hey. . .at least he talked to me normally for point five seconds. I don't think he's too happy though. He seemed to be snappier than normal. I'm starting to wonder if it was something I did or something Norman and I messed up on. Maybe even Lawrence? I don't know, but with the Barton Town Ball coming up. . .we don't know what's happening. Maybe. . .there are more villainous people out there helping the other side than we thought. We have to remain strong and vigilant. . .no matter the cost.
