I hate to say it, but based on the vague implications, one of us may have done it. Compelled to, maybe.

Unless one of us conveniently shows up in blood or confesses, though, I'm not sure how we're expected to narrow it down.

[leaberator]

Yeah, that's what I figured, too.

[ which isn't... great. he rubs the back of his neck with a sigh ]

Are we meant to just solve it like some twisted mystery game? It's not like we can just interrogate everyone. We don't even know if whoever did it remembers.

[nonbelligerent]

If they don't, that's all the more troubling. I assume you also fell asleep the night before?

[leaberator]

I usually do, but... this felt different. Not to mention the weird-- vision?

[ it wasn't exactly a dream, was it, if it was real. ]

[nonbelligerent]

I don't typically sleep. It was very unusual.

[leaberator]

At all?

[ that's. good to know? ]

Then it just... forced everyone asleep. [ the "darkness", probably. ] That's not great.

[nonbelligerent]

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?
