W0, SUNDAY

[headmt]

So.

That happened! Thoughts?

[outsidebones]

Whoever is in charge here is stealing my aesthetic.

[headmt]

We'll have a chat with management about that.

[outsidebones]

Tell them to give me those skeletons.

[she's still a bit groggy...]

[headmt]

I will tell them to give me the skeletons if you lie down for a bit, maybe?

[ashenvaliant]

[ wherever they are he's just Lying on something. ]

I would like to unthink most of the thoughts I had over the past couple of hours.

[headmt]

[ Patting him on the head. ]

Oh, probably best to.

[ashenvaliant]

Imagine how simple it would've been if they'd just handed out weapons.

[evocationary]

[sitting next to sheila and patting her arm...]

I think I'm actually speechless, which is a new one.

[toesies]

[lup is a pal. she's so tired.]

[evocationary]

The staff set you up with your smoothies?

[toesies]

[She makes a vague... eh... gesture.]

They're a little past their best by use. But a little constellation told me where to find the freshest produce.

[toesies]

[staring at the void tbh]

Is it douchey to kill someone in the way they're most afraid of? It feels kind of douchey.

[ashenvaliant]

[ ... ]

Did you know he was scared of falling twenty stories to his death?

[toesies]

[a shake of her head.]

I wouldn't have tossed him if I did.

[ashenvaliant]

Then, no.

[ NTA sieg should have given sheila his trigger warnings before she murdered hi— i can’t ]

It’s unfortunate, but no. After— ah… the other attempts, it was a quicker and guaranteed way to end it.

[outsidebones]

I think it was best to end things.

[says the one who was tethered to him.]

[toesies]

... I guess. It just sucks.

[outsidebones]

[patting her.]

If it helps, I doubt he had time to be frightened, given he was being thrown.

[outsidebones]

[after everyone has had a chance to talk to sheila and bemoan the execution, she'll chime in - ]

Oh, while we're here. Did anyone else speak with Sieghart last night? He claimed to have been possessed. If we are to believe him, he didn't target Flayn by choice, she woke and he felt compelled to pursue her.

[headmt]

[ Arms crossed tightly, thinking it over. ]

Still don't know that I believe it.

[outsidebones]

...I think I do. He didn't have to ruin his own arm.

[ashenvaliant]

Yeah, I talked to him about it a bit.

The... shadows thing? The way he phrased it made it sound like he didn't have a choice either way when the shadows told him they could keep his hostage safe. He said he declined them and they just possessed him anyway.

[ ... ]

I'm not sure how much I believe, but there were those shadows at the end of the execution.

[outsidebones]

...I think I believe him. We seem to be dealing with someone accustomed to necromantic control. Spirit manipulation would fit within that.

[she nods.]

He said the same to me. An offer was made, he refused, but he was chosen all the same.

[toesies]

[She nods.]

That's about what he said to me. A shadow came to him, and when he saw Flayn, he felt like it would be okay to murder her. [...] I want to call bullshit, because that would be easier for us in the long run. But Yuri's right, a bunch of shadows came out of him at the end of the execution. So...
