John Edward Brunett "Jeb" Parmalee

[(Accidental) Audio]

[After talking to people in his last post, Jeb's feeling a little better about things with the person who had attacked him. This morning, he feels a little... contemplative. Ironically enough, it's about something he was told by the same person who assaulted him--not that Jeb's aware of it.

Nor is he aware that he turned the audio function of his journal on.]

"Beauty is all but non-existent in such a ruthless and vile world." [That's what the anonymous person on the journal had said. He repeats it quietly, over and over, like a mantra. He eventually sighs, frustrated.]

There's no way I can accept that, not when I've been shown the opposite so many times! But...

[He's quiet for a few moments before sighing again.]

I wish that person didn't have something happen to make them think like that, but that doesn't make what they said true at all. I'm going to keep doing my best... but it would probably be easier if everyone was here. ...I miss you, Tori.

[...and he finally notices that his journal is open and... recording.] Ah, how long has that been-?! [Embarrassed, he slams it shut.]

[Action]

[Later on in the day, after recovering from his embarrassment, Jeb will be all around the town to keep himself occupied--feel free to run into him.]
