Second.

Friday dawns fairly quietly this week; unlike last week, there's no blood splashed around the hallway, and there's very little that seems amiss at first glance. It's almost enough to make one think that nothing happened last night – that maybe the incentive was ignored, that maybe rational-minded camaraderie may have won out over the desire to escape the Vault. That impression will last you until somebody decides to head upstairs. They won't get past the stairwell without noticing that something is definitely amiss - while there notably does not appear to be a body, that doesn't mean that something isn't there regardless. You might want to check that out. Just saying. >Explore?

[Of all the people here, he should have expected Yosuke to be the one that was having the hardest time about this. Truthfully, he wanted nothing more to not Be Here, but... here they were.

And they had another body on their hands. Someone paid the price, like Speedwagon feared.]

Oi! [He approaches at the sight of Yosuke hitting the wall. Speedwagon's expression quickly drops.]

...You get all of that out. [Vent your rage. You gotta do it somewhere.]

[garudynamic]

This... is so stupid!

[And that's what has him so worked up- not just the death, but the fact that in his eyes it's so utterly pointless]

[isafraid]

[That's one word for it. Useless, useless, useless.

Speedwagon nods sympathetically.]

Right, and whoever's got blood on their hands now thought it might have been worth it.

[Which is why someone's dead, who didn't deserve it.]

[garudynamic]

[And he can't say they're wrong... if he had more proof of what the Kingmaker said... might he have done the same to save someone back home? His shoulders slump]

Damn it...

[isafraid]

[Yosuke's shoulder would soon find Speedwagon's hand on it again-- a show of sympathy, if the look on his face wasn't enough.]

There's nothing we could've done. And if we can't make it better now, then we can at least do whatever we can to catch the blighter that did it in the first place.

...It's pure madness, isn't it?

[What else is there to call it right now.]

But we'll get through it.
