[vigilantics]

[ it's been a long day and stephanie has been out and about, checking on people and trying not to strangle suits of armor. she's tired??

when she spots shirasu in the hall, she slows down. she hasn't really spoken to him yet, but he was there when they found sharpay. ]

... hi. How are you holding up?

Comments

[vigilantics]

Yes. [ ... ] No. I'm not that surprised that it happened, just... that it happened so soon?

[ the rules says there has to be at least one death per week, but also, fuck rules. ]

I assume we'll probably learn more as this gets moving. Maybe.

[wagashis]

Hopefully. As it is, there's too much we don't know about.

[and he hates it, thanks.]

But as many of us as there are... it shouldn't be hard to figure a few things out. We have plenty of eyes and ears.

[and brains, with... some exceptions.]

ive had this tag open for several hours and just realized i never hit send

[vigilantics]

[ natsuo does his best and he's valid ]

I hope so. At least we'll have a better idea of how these things work. I've been wondering for a while now.

it's ok I still love you

[wagashis]

[natsuo is something that's for sure]

It seems experience will be the only way to find out-- but I half expect we'll still find new questions.

/tts i love you tib

[vigilantics]

Everything here is super vague... which, I guess makes sense if they want it to be a story. You don't reveal all of the relevant plot info right away.

thanks fronch

[wagashis]

Understandable enough, but no easier to work with...

[he breathes out a small sigh, shakes his head.]

We'll just have to pay close attention to what this place does give us, and try to take care of ourselves in the meantime.

[vigilantics]

It's giving us PTSD.

[wagashis]

It's giving us-- what?

[steph he's from like the 1890s]

[vigilantics]

[ all of your past fucks are going to be the death of her ]

... bad feelings?

[ she has decided she's not going to explain ptsd. ]

[wagashis]

-I see.

[he doesn't but he'll just go with bad feelings, sure, that works.]

I'd be shocked if any of us didn't have bad feelings about all of this, really.

[vigilantics]

Well, sociopaths exists. Although I don't know if anyone here is actually like that.

[ then again, that's not exactly super obvious usually. ]

[wagashis]

[the look he gives her makes it very clear she's about to need to explain sociopath, too.

i am so sorry.]

[vigilantics]

[ oh my god ]

They're... usually when they don't care about anyone else at all? So the kind of person who probably wouldn't be that emotionally affected here unless it concerned themselves.

[wagashis]

[it sounds reasonable enough to only be concerned for yourself (and your partner) in a place like this?

but that is absolutely not what he says.]

I don't see how anyone wouldn't be affected by all of this. It's all a bit much, isn't it?

[vigilantics]

[ please absolutely never say that out loud around her, she'd have a fit ]

Depends on the person. I know some people back home who would be having the time of their lives.

[wagashis]

[don't worry he definitely will not]

Even separated from what they knew back there...? They must not think very highly of the lives they lead, then.

[vigilantics]

[ she mimics an exaggeratedly deep voice. ]

Some people just like to watch the world burn.

[wagashis]

Then I'll count us fortunate not to have them here.

[that's never a good time.]

[vigilantics]

As far as we know anyway.

[ look. steph can be trusting but she's also not dumb, and she is fully aware that anyone here might secretly by a kill happy fuck. ]

[wagashis]

I meant the ones you know in particular, but-- you think there might be someone like that here?

[he hums thoughtfully, considering.]

I don't believe I've noticed anyone who seems like the type... but I'll let you know if anyone seems likely.

[vigilantics]

Thanks.

I'll do the same. Although I doubt it'll be that noticeable so quickly.
