[dming the mods on thursday night like "congrats we have a present for you, two extra bodies"]

Mm. I can't imagine Molly's handling it well.

[He's mostly kept his distance today; comfort is not his forte.]

[shiftingwinds]

...I'm worried about him.

[that much was probably obvious the day before, though.]

Losing someone you care about is never easy.

[toyska]

Many of us are, I'd imagine.

[Which is something. For his part--]

I'm fortunate, in that regard.

[He can't really relate, and he didn't know Beau, so anything he might have to say would be empty to some degree.]

[shiftingwinds]

Mm.

[fortunate, indeed. shi qingxuan wonders, though - how long will that last? whoever did this, having gotten away with it, is sure to be emboldened...]

It will likely happen again... we should probably prepare ourselves for that.

[toyska]

I'm surprised it hasn't already.

[Honestly, he kind of expected Molly to attack Endorsi already. But then, he'd expected everyone here to be a lot less soft-hearted than they'd shown themselves to be thus far.]

But you're right, we should.

[shiftingwinds]

...I'd prefer not to let someone get away with again. A person ought to take responsibility for the things they do.

[She has strong feelings about this, apparently! And loose lips thanks to her lowered alcohol tolerance ... although she talks a lot to begin with, anyway.]

[toyska]

[HAHA...

However Childe feels about that is apparently just going to be a mystery, because he's gotten distracted by the curtain that leads into the tarot room and is now wandering towards it.]

It's likely that others will be framed, since the idea has already been planted. [They're less likely to believe any evidence now, but still--if people are going to vote, they're going to do it when they're swayed strongly.] Guarding against that will be difficult.

[(stabs gmail for not giving me this notif)

anyway, with a sigh, she follows him to the tarot room, taking a swig from the bottle of "everclear" as she goes.]

I suppose the best we can do is try to be prepared. If we find ourselves locked in somewhere again with other people, perhaps we should attempt to take stock of any injuries from before we fall asleep so we can definitively say, "that was there before someone died".

[she regrets not being able to account for when beau's bruises came about, honestly.]

[toyska]

[As they wander, he holds a hand out for the bottle. Share, friend.]

You and your friend [he means Ming Yi], do you have any sort of system in place?

[shiftingwinds]

[passes the bottle over!]

Hmm... a system? What do you mean?

[toyska]

[Thanks! He'll take a drink as they walk. Surely they will make it all the way to the tarot room without incident.]

A system! You know... [Hold on, give him a minute.] Before the rain, repair the house and all that.

[未雨绸缪, be prepared, except it's slightly off, because 1. white boy pronunciation (which isn't actually terrible, but it's clearly nonnative) and 2. it's Liyuese, which is only Chinese-adjacent... but he tried.]

[shiftingwinds]

We're going to stick together so neither of us is caught somewhere alone.

[but that's really all the plan they can make.



it occurs to her a second later that it sounded almost familiar.]

...that language you spoke...

[toyska]

[Fair enough.

But, ah, yes--he nods, and doesn't look surprised that she's asking.]

It's similar to yours, isn't it?

[shiftingwinds]

[she nods]

...how interesting. We're most certainly not from the same world, and yet...
