No, not mad. The asshole thinks he's not worth mourning over. But I have a lot of questions for him when he gets back.
[ ... he will just nod and sit next to rin though. not the first time. ]
... people were being strategic, and I do understand why I was suspect number one for a little while. It's half of what makes this so frustrating though.
... at least the last time he died, I got to talk to him before he left. And at least this time, he was more than just a head. We found his culprit last time and it was someone I cared about way too much, and we voted wrong this time because we ran out of options. It's hard to say which case turned out "better."
Not when we get achievements for fucking up anyway, as it turns out. [ insane behavior. ] At this stage, it's really just about if people believe in finding the truth above all else, or if people believe in keeping the peace.
Yeah, he and I have talked about this a few times both as Gabriel, God, and myself. [ god. ] Voting's rigged at this point anyway. I think... it sucks to vote wrong because we run the risk of not having an answer. But knowing they're all going to the same place makes it slightly less terrible and all the more pointless.
I'm starting to think Ylfa was right about how we should've just had weeks of curses and fun competitions.
I would gladly take more stupid stuff come Monday. Especially if they're all coming back soon.
[ but... his least favorite question. ]
Honestly? Like I failed him, but I already know he'd just call me melodramatic again. So I guess I'll settle on "disappointed." It was a really long day.
You're not wrong. I'm pretty sure that's advice I'd give other people. [ they are now so rin can do that, which is fine given he's still a little tense.
... it's just the three of them though, so he just says the thing out loud. ]
I'd thought about Kate since we got the state of his body, and we started speculating they went to see a movie. But I didn't know what to do with that information, or if it was even right.
... I think a lot of people thought Kate. [ Himself included. ] But I don't think she was ever in any danger of getting caught. Even though that comes with it's own shitty set of feelings.
Nobody's going to vote for a child. Especially knowing Artemy did what he could to protect and save her. It's just... rough. Looking away every week and knowing we're down another answer.
[ ... there's a frown. ]
I was starting to wonder, too. Somehow that doesn't make me feel better either.
So even if nobody planned to kill on their own, something would've been orchestrated to make it happen. A full seven week cycle, and then one final push.
That was definitely your fault, but yeah, yeah. Apparently the right circumstances were real after all. It counted for something though. Do you have any idea who even cursed you?

but now is not the time
he'll go send rin to sit since he got stabbed, and cast a look at jonas also. ]
...I'll make dinner.
no subject
Thanks.
no subject
[ a lot happened. hope you both like seafood. ]
...Do you think Dante would accept some food?
no subject
But I know he'd appreciate it.
no subject
I should send Caiman some too.
no subject
Hopefully they'll be back soon.
no subject
...They will be. The hosts said this weekend is the last trial, so...
no subject
We just have to figure out what to do with the horse.
no subject
[ it's been a long enough day without the horse!!! ]
Maybe I should've invited the hosts to dinner. [ but he kind of assumed they wanted time to themselves... ]
no subject
[ where is the food ]
no subject
he'll bring him a plate. ]
...How'd you end up getting stabbed anyway? [ idiot. rupert dodged like 50 bullets and you get hit by 1 knife. ]
no subject
no subject
no subject
anyway yeah he... yeah. he just kind of takes a breath and nods. ]
It's... it's okay. I mean it's not, but you know he'd tell us all we did the best we could and to knock it off because he'll be back in a few days.
[ this means nothing though given they have zero answers. ]
I should be apologizing to you. With Artemy and with Dante both, that's... not great. [ a glance at haru. ] Let me know if you need a hand.
no subject
I don't think he'd be mad at us, but...
[ It just sucks. ]
I can handle it. You took a lot of fire today too.
no subject
[ ... he will just nod and sit next to rin though. not the first time. ]
... people were being strategic, and I do understand why I was suspect number one for a little while. It's half of what makes this so frustrating though.
no subject
...It is. It's always frustrating.
I know it's worse when it's someone you really care about, though.
no subject
... at least the last time he died, I got to talk to him before he left. And at least this time, he was more than just a head. We found his culprit last time and it was someone I cared about way too much, and we voted wrong this time because we ran out of options. It's hard to say which case turned out "better."
no subject
...I don't think there's ever a satisfying outcome. It's not like killing the "right" person brings the dead back.
no subject
Not when we get achievements for fucking up anyway, as it turns out. [ insane behavior. ] At this stage, it's really just about if people believe in finding the truth above all else, or if people believe in keeping the peace.
no subject
[ so there's truly nothing to be ventured or gained here. ]
It's pretty pointless.
no subject
I'm starting to think Ylfa was right about how we should've just had weeks of curses and fun competitions.
no subject
[ as per usual... though then he pauses from over where he's cooking. ]
...How are you feeling?
no subject
[ but... his least favorite question. ]
Honestly? Like I failed him, but I already know he'd just call me melodramatic again. So I guess I'll settle on "disappointed." It was a really long day.
no subject
[ Looking tired... Are they sitting side by side. Carefully setting a hand on Jonas' shoulder. ]
It... Artemy. [ I'm worried it was someone from my team. ] I don't know. I'll have to talk to them.
no subject
... it's just the three of them though, so he just says the thing out loud. ]
I'd thought about Kate since we got the state of his body, and we started speculating they went to see a movie. But I didn't know what to do with that information, or if it was even right.
no subject
[ Closing his eyes and sighing. ]
I think Rupert killed Jacopo, too.
no subject
[ ... there's a frown. ]
I was starting to wonder, too. Somehow that doesn't make me feel better either.
no subject
[ HE'S SUCH A HYPOCRITE... BUT ALSO!! ]
Yeah. I don't know. It's all so stupid when we're this close to the end.
no subject
It is stupid when we're so close. Like, isn't next week probably our last one? If things go the way they normally do.
no subject
Yeah. I think so. But all of this is automated to follow the formula...
no subject
no subject
[ Just... offers Jonas a berry. ]
no subject
... maybe we should just talk about something else. I'm so sick of this whole thing.
no subject
[ hence the berry
Tries to think of something. ]
You and Haru made really cute pigs this week.
no subject
Honestly? I was kinda okay with it. It was nice not to have to think about much for an hour.
no subject
no subject
That was definitely your fault, but yeah, yeah. Apparently the right circumstances were real after all. It counted for something though. Do you have any idea who even cursed you?
