and it takes, and it takes, and it takes

[It... definitely takes a while for the weekly after-execution note to arrive, but it does --- kind of scrawly and on ripped paper rather than nice stationery.]

EY. YO. WE GOT EFFIGIES IN THE DINING ROOM AND WE'RE GONNA BURN EM.

FOOD TOO. THE USUAL AND HOT COCOA. GOOD FOR THE SOUL. GET SOME. MAYBE TAKE IT BACK TO YOUR ROOM IF YOU HAVE TO. JUST GET SOME.


[Anyway, in the dining room, there's plenty of mugs set out, with a janky looking arrow sign pointing into the kitchen to where you can get your hot cocoa. On the table, there's Vichyssoise, a pot of green tea, and some booze. There's also a cookie tray on the floor away from the table on which to burn the Wordsmith and Kimbley effigies, which are handily placed near the food on the table.

...also if you go in the kitchen without shoes on just. Watch the northern corner. There's no kidneys, but there's a lot of broken plates there for some reason...]

[ For Elda Marker? Yes?

And despite how tired she is, her eyes turn predatory, much like they did at the tail end of the trial. ]


No, you wouldn't be. Those brats would've killed us all, and I'd promised Hanyuu weeks ago that when I worked it out, I'd win this game. But I'm not clever enough for something like killing everyone in their sleep.

In order to win this game, it needs to be two conspirators. Killing everyone as they sleep would be the most efficient way to do it.

Leave one of them alive, and both of them vote for the survivor.

[....]

If the Wordsmith would accept that, that's something else entirely.
matchbreaker: (Hell Cat!)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-02-20 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
Alternatively, you could just kill everyone. Who would even vote at the trial then... right? Or you just fool them completely, and "win" the trial by having them convict someone else. Gold and Silver nearly managed that.

[ Honestly, she still only mostly understands this conspiracy that Kimbley had. ]

If there's no trial, can you truly be considered a "winner"?

I am still not convinced that this isn't the Wordsmith's way of finding a successor.

... Seriously? Why bother with all that rigamaroll?

Perhaps we are not the first group.

I tried to ask him if he was working with someone, and he refused to answer. I'm beginning to wonder if he was a previous winner. This seems too organized to be the work of one person, no matter how you look at it.

[ . . . What. ]

... Wait, really?! [ Shit that-- that actually makes a lot of sense. ] ... Damnation, that would explain a thing or two.

[ Elda's eyes went back to normal, but she's biting on her nail now ]
iaspis: (◇ no more lies)

[personal profile] iaspis 2017-02-21 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.

Even for Gems, something like this would be impossible for one person.

[ Shit, shit shit... ] If you gave a vampire enough time and bats, they could do this, but I haven't sensed a single bat, you're right!

[ UGH ]

He didn't even know about the memory problems.
iaspis: (◇ another wave of tension)

[personal profile] iaspis 2017-02-21 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe he was given us.

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-02-21 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
What, like some big boss assigned him a group of people to kill off?
iaspis: (◇ no more lies)

[personal profile] iaspis 2017-02-24 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
Something like that, yes.

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-02-24 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
But why bother? What's the point of that...?

[ She came here to try and do Jasper a solid she shouldn't be doing this. But now she's crouched and sort of rocking on her heels as she thinks ]

[personal profile] iaspis 2017-02-27 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know.

It's only speculation on my part now. It's not like the Wordsmith would confirm it.
matchbreaker: (In ADOBODOBODOBO)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-02-27 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
No. ... No, he wouldn't, not directly.

[ And so she... Mmm. ]
iaspis: (✧ i can’t believe i didn’t)

[personal profile] iaspis 2017-02-27 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe it's possible to find the truth, but he wouldn't come out and explain it.
matchbreaker: (FROM THE START)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-02-27 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
It's something we'd need to work with, anyway.

[ . . . ]

Well, anyway, those are the gifts I got you.

[ Totally a legit comfort for Kimbley being dead, right? ]
iaspis: (✧ nothing to lose)

[personal profile] iaspis 2017-03-01 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[You know, it actually is, in a weird way? She's not used to getting belongings of the dead. It's something to remember him by.]

It's... appreciated.

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-03-01 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She doesn't know how to exit this situation uh...

... Pats Jasper on the arm ]


... Well, good! Then I did my duty!

[ . . .

So let's leave. There. That... works? ]
