[ 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.

[alchemenace]

You can? How?

[ if the bear's gift is fixing things he's going to go ??? forever ]

-- I can ask Fane. I doubt he'll object either way, but.

[vigilantics]

Dragon. She said she can fix it from afar, but it wouldn't be a complete fix and we won't know if it works properly. If I bring her the actual mirror though then it can be restored fully.

[alchemenace]

And if you fix it... Maybe you could change your title and thus, your objective? Is that what you're thinking?

[vigilantics]

That or give it to someone who has one worse than mine. Either way, I think it's too valuable to keep broken considering how important objectives seem to be.

[alchemenace]

You'd still have to know a title's objective before switching, but you're right. I'm... Actually, it makes sense Dragon would be the one to repair it.

[ since the whole fulfilling objective thing is ... her preference ]

[vigilantics]

[ there's a pause. ]

What's your objective?

[alchemenace]

[ uh ]

Uh.

[ ... he looks away ]

I... have to set someone on fire.

[vigilantics]

...

Uh. How much. Fire?

[alchemenace]

Oh, um, I asked. It's horribly disfigure at minimum for the living. ... And it can't be myself. [ look. ] Or I could burn a corpse.

[ which would go over great. ]

[vigilantics]

Mine can't be myself either.

[ it's good to know that both of them immediately went WHAT IF I FUCK MYSELF UP INSTEAD. ]

But those options are... hm.

[alchemenace]

Not great? Yeah, that's what I thought too.

[ it's bad. ]

[vigilantics]

I guess we can try to... figure something out...

[ she doesn't sound too sure. ]

[alchemenace]

Somehow I have my doubts on that.

[ somehow. ]

[vigilantics]

Well... we're going to have to try regardless.

[ maybe burning a corpse won't be that bad. ]

[alchemenace]

What, you want me to, to go in the middle of trial and burn a corpse?

[ steph. no. ]

[vigilantics]

...

Could we... burn it... in the last ten minutes?

[alchemenace]

If you want everyone to vote for me in the last ten minutes.

[ WE'RE VERY FICKLE, STEPHANIE ]

[vigilantics]

[ THEY'D FIGURE OUT WHO DID THE MURDER FIRST!!! ]

... we'll figure something out.

[alchemenace]

[ without a confession? impossible ]

... Your optimism is noted and appreciated?

[vigilantics]

We don't really have any choice at this point, it seems.

[alchemenace]

... We really don't.

[ so much regretti. ]

[vigilantics]

...

What's your title, if you don't mind me asking?

[alchemenace]

[ with the face of a man long suffering: ]

The Gingerbread Witch.

[vigilantics]

Oh... that explains the... fire...

[alchemenace]

So I have read. That's how I first realized objectives and titles might be linked.
