Lenore was kind enough, and certainly didn't mean any harm to anyone here. Aoi never harmed anyone a day in her life. She wanted to help. She left things better. I know why someone would attack her, because she's vulnerable, but. Fucked. Is what it is.
Mahito fucking eludes me. I-- I've no idea where to even begin. Lenore I suppose ... maybe someone could justify it with the vampire thing. She was still harmless, but I could see--
Aoi didn't have a wish. She just wanted to be here with us.
I don't know how much their motivation matters. They either did it or they didn't. Well, even I'm a little more sympathetic to something like self defense, but...
[she watches him do that, a little concerned, but:]
I knew this offer was suspicious when I took it, but I didn’t think it would be like this, either. If this was going to be the set up, they could have just let us fight it out at the start instead of dragging it out like this.
I think the time is part of the strategy if you ask me to try and ... analyze the fucked mind that came up with it. The longer it goes, the more desperate some might get.
I thought it'd be alright, because I came here alone. I could handle what it threw at me. Couldn't be worse than just going back to my cold grave.
I'm much older than most of you, right? So this has seemed like a much shorter span of time to me than it does for you, probably. And this isn't really any worse than what I'm used to, either, so... It's probably harder for most people to deal with.
If anything it's cured me of any desire to stick around places longer. Sticking around certain people longer, sure, but places? I'm not about it so much. Too much to see and do.
Besides, you stay in one place and you just start kissing the same folks over and over. Muddies the waters a bit.
[Oh-- he pauses? Looking over. I mean, is it a wild assumption? anyone who says they might not miss the murder sex clown dungeon probably isn't super looking forward to heading home.]
Ah. You're right. I shouldn't have assumed. Just from the way you said that ... I don't know. Maybe you should just know. The option could exist.

[Said fondly, though. She glances down towards the floor.]
...It seems like people have been going for the weaker ones for the last few weeks. I don't like it, either.
no subject
I want to find out who. Who went after Aoi and Lenore.
no subject
Just them?
no subject
Everyone. Like Greed says, have to dig up the fucking awful truth on this shit. Just-- Aoi feels especially wrong.
no subject
[Crossing her arms.]
It was hard enough with just one last week.
no subject
Aoi didn't have a wish. She just wanted to be here with us.

[She runs her hand through her hair.]
no subject
[same? same. Or, more just. pulling on the jewelry from his horns, since he's got those in the way.]
All part of the picture, I suppose.
no subject
I'm going to tear this stupid picture to shreds.
no subject
actually laughs at that.]
Probably the right attitude to have.
[molly just sliiiiides down the wall a bit. why not.]
Just fucking sick of losing people.

...This is really getting to you, isn't it?
[she's not very good at showing worry, but there's more than normal of it in her voice.]
I guess it's been a long few weeks for most people.
no subject
Guess I'm being a bit melodramatic, aren't I?

[two years.]
Been here longer than I've been anywhere in my life, actually.
no subject
[she exhales, a little heavy.]
Well, hopefully after this you can beat the record in someplace nicer.

[snorts.]
Ah, how awful. Having to kiss someone more than once.
no subject
[Nodding? It is terrible?]
It is awful.
no subject
[tacky! but she sighs, a little amused.]
Awful or not, I might almost miss it when all this is over and I go home.
no subject
Going to a home you don't really want to go back to.
no subject
Why do you assume I don’t want to go back?
no subject
Ah. You're right. I shouldn't have assumed. Just from the way you said that ... I don't know. Maybe you should just know. The option could exist.
