I don't require it.

[it's not weird, okay.]

So no, it isn't. At the very least, it means the death wasn't entirely spur of the moment.

[leaberator]

Yeah... which begs the question if it'll happen again, and how can we stop it.

[nonbelligerent]

It's doubtful it'd end with just one. As for stopping it, it seems that's what we're here for.

[leaberator]

You think? How's that gonna go if this keeps happening?

[ dwindling numbers won't exactly make it work Faster ]

[nonbelligerent]

[yeah, that's the same concern he brought up.]

It's hard to say right now.

[leaberator]

And even if we do figure out who did it... Exactly what's gonna happen after that? Or worse, if we don't?

[ this is all? bad? ]

[nonbelligerent]

Answers we'll get soon, hopefully. I don't like where this is heading.

There's also the matter of what they said earlier, about our fates being tied to another.

[leaberator]

Me neither.

[ ... hm ]

You think something might happen to his "partner"? Who was it, anyway?

[ he hasn't kept track of who lives where ]

[nonbelligerent]

Hisoka.

And yes. Especially since someone this week was given the ability to rearrange partnerships, which suggests it may come in handy.

[leaberator]

[ ... oh no... not hisoka... so sad... what a tragedy... ]

Someone got that? That's a lot more helpful than what I got saddled with.

[nonbelligerent]

[let hisoka die please

not that shess actually thinks that, but. please.]

It doesn't seem like it's a permanent power. Sol came to them to inform them personally.

Unless that happened to you as well?

[leaberator]

Nope. I had to seek them out to talk, like some kinda pleb.

[ it's a joke. it's a very appropriate joke ]

I thought it was weird I hadn't read that power. [ read: zia's real dumb ] So if they gave someone that... Yeah, I get the impression we won't like what happens.[ well, lea is kind of fine with hisoka dying but he's not gonna like, say it. ]

[nonbelligerent]

[shess won't judge him for that?]

So, was it Spitfire after all?

[also a very appropriate joke.]

It seems like this will be our trial run.

[leaberator]

Burning Heart.

[ he normally wouldn't share something like this but he's just? so tired? and doesn't even want to use it? ]

Yep. We're being thrown straight into the deep end of the pool, aren't we?

[nonbelligerent]

[uh. thanks, axel?? shess stares in surprise for a moment, but he'll move on.]

Regardless of what explanation we receive, there's likely to be chaos tomorrow.

[leaberator]

Like this whole thing isn't enough of a mess... Feelings are definitely gonna run wild.

[ stares directly at kara ]

[nonbelligerent]

[also stares at kara]

And what about you?

[leaberator]

[ he blinks, surprised because he's an idiot ]

What about me?

[nonbelligerent]

What about your feelings?

[leaberator]

I ... have them, yeah?

[ please forgive him he's not used to discussing this with people who aren't small teenage girls he's kidnapped ]

[nonbelligerent]

[axel,]

Are you being deliberately obtuse or honestly confused?

[leaberator]

Normally I'd say the former, but this time it was the latter.

[ he at least has the fucking decency to look a LITTLE embarrassed about it ]

I dunno. What's there to say?

[nonbelligerent]

To start with, will you be among the people whose "feelings are definitely going to run wild"?

[leaberator]

Can people usually predict that kinda stuff?

[ he doesn't think so, but, y'know. ]

[nonbelligerent]

Not perfectly, but some people know themselves well to make a good guess.
