week 3, friday

[vigilantics]

[ so, after investigation stephanie will try to track varian down to see how he's doing. she does not know that he found fingers yet, but she's pretty protective of the kid at this point so of course she will want to check in on him. ]

So... Fridays.

Fridays.

[ he's acknowledging her but it doesn't take too long for him to blurt out: ]

I found fingers? People here are messed up.

[vigilantics]

You found what now.

[ ??????????????? ]

[alchemenace]

[ he just ... waves the fingers on his good hand ]

Fingers. Three of them, to be precise.

[vigilantics]

What the hell is wrong with people.

[ there... doesn't seem to be any reason for someone to do that, except for the obvious. ]

[alchemenace]

That was precisely my thoughts.

[ just. why. why did he have to find fingies. ]

[vigilantics]

If they... tortured him... I'm not sure what they expected to get out of him?

The Blotters already gave us info on what happens when they're chosen.

[alchemenace]

I don't know if it was torture. The cut looked... clean? What bothered me more was that there was no ink anywhere.

[ a beat ]

Well. Inside, but.

[vigilantics]

Maybe they were cut off after he died?

... except that now introduces the question of, like, why.

[alchemenace]

And why throw them away from the body in the first place?

[ why are people. ]

[vigilantics]

There is obviously something that we're missing here.

[alchemenace]

At least it's not fingers.

[ why! did he find! fingies!!! ]

[vigilantics]

God I hate everything about this.

[ she. pats him on the shoulder. ]

[alchemenace]

Ha. Me too. ... Me too.

[ anyway. ]

... I get why they might've killed Fitzgerald [ i mean. they all do. ] but. Why Monika?

[vigilantics]

I have no idea. Especially since we have no idea which one was actually the Blotter kill? They only have to go after one person...

[alchemenace]

So either we have a non-Blotter killer or... they went after both of them to throw us off?

[ as if they needed any extra help sucking ]

[vigilantics]

That seems like an even riskier move, if it's the latter. That's more ways to screw up and leave evidence behind...

[alchemenace]

You'd think so, but. People talked about a shoe for six hours last week.

[ i mean. y'know. ]

[vigilantics]

...

We never did solve that mystery.

[alchemenace]

... Yeah, I. I guess not.

[ ha ha anyway!! ]

Stephie. What's your objective?

[ since they talked a lot about actually... doing those ]

[vigilantics]

[ there's a long pause before she answers. ]

It's not a good one.

[alchemenace]

... How bad is it?

[vigilantics]

There is a high chance that someone might end up dead if I do it?

[ so. bad. ]

[alchemenace]

Ha. Heh. Well. That makes two of us?

[ surprise! ]

[vigilantics]

[ she actually starts laughing. ]

I! Hate this!

[alchemenace]

[ well this isn't fun laughter. ]

I know. I... I believe that's why I received the letter. Which means you might get it sometime too?
