week 7, friday

[vigilantics]

[ SO THEY'RE SOMEWHERE I GUESS i don't care it's week seven what the fuck is a location ]

Which ones did you know about?

[ she's just. automatically assuming he knew. :/ ]

Comments

[axilium]

[...]

Not even going to give me the benefit of the doubt?

[vigilantics]

No.

[ :/ ]

[axilium]

[he sighs.]

Akechi and Shirasu. [...] Though both knew ahead of time, and they each made it clear to me they'd fight back, so it wouldn't have been surprising if their would-be killers died instead.

... Though that was partly the case for Shirasu.

[vigilantics]

... which one?

[ she doesn't know which body was found with shirasu's. ]

[axilium]

Cardia.

... Apparently, she and the other Blotter didn't know Shirasu nearly well enough, if they thought he'd actually lie down and take his death.

[vigilantics]

[ well. that's depressing to hear, but the entire situation is already bleak. ]

... I see. [ ... ] Akechi was the Editor kill then?

[axilium]

... Yeah. Sanji gave me permission to let him know ahead of time.

[vigilantics]

... what was the reasoning for him?

[axilium]

Tiger didn't like that Dragon had Natsuo, one of her favourites, killed, so she went for one of Dragon's favourites.

In other words, petty BS.

[vigilantics]

...

God, they're like children.

[axilium]

Pretty much.

[vigilantics]

So.

What now?

[axilium]

[he sighs.]

I don't know. Sanji and Souji plan on being the two hero casualties—most likely, Souji will kill Sanji tomorrow at trial, and then we vote him off.

To make sure we're all on the same page now—and decide what else we need to ask—we need someone to summarize all the info we have at this point. Think you can get one of your buddies to do that?

[vigilantics]

... I would prefer to ask Veronica. I, um, don't think we should put too much on Ion at the moment.

[ she is now realizing that he, obviously, would not have been mentioned in the body announcement. ]

Someone tried to kill him.

[axilium]

... Huh. Well, that sucks for him.

[vigilantics]

[ SMACKS BELPH ON THE ARM ]

[axilium]

[HEY]

I'm trying really hard to be sympathetic, Steph, but seriously, I'm exhausted.

[vigilantics]

I'm just concerned at the idea that someone else attempted to go on a killing spree who didn't have to.

[axilium]

I don't know. Maybe whoever targeted Shirasu at some point in time and made his protection null and void?

[he shrugs.]

I really don't know, Steph.

[vigilantics]

[ she's quiet after that before she just

holds her hand out towards him. ]

[axilium]

[...

he just raises an eyebrow and does nothing, because what.]

[vigilantics]

Ugh.

[ she's grabbing his hand. fucking moron. ]

[axilium]

[well okay.

he stares blankly.]

[vigilantics]

[ she stares back.

:/ ]

[axilium]

Um... are you going to do something, or...?
