[ He sighs, quietly. ]
We don't even know if it was a murder.
no subject
[just!
ugh!!]

Well, the short story is that objectively it's not.
Maybe others will feel that it is, on grounds that there was a conviction at all. And by nothing but pure words and record alone, Beauregard seemed most likely to be the criminal, and if a typical, real court had arrived to the same conclusions we did... then by the rules, Beauregard is guilty.
[ But he looks at her. You disagree, don't you? ]
no subject
[period.]
And according to the... "court" we came out of, we got it wrong.
no subject
[ So then... what? ]
There's only so many people who feel like they have the potential to commit such a murder.

Madly swinging around a dangerous weapon in unknown environments speaks of someone who's less, ah, lawful, in my opinion.
no subject
[...]
Though it would make for a rather obvious weapon.
[buuut, after today, "obvious" might be how any potential killers decide to hide in plain sight.]
no subject
What exactly... is the point of his death? [ Is, present tense -- it's not over yet. ]
no subject
[maybe someone really did decide to indulge in some murder?]
...but if we're all meant to indulge, you'd think there would have been some sort of safeguards against it. I find it hard to believe any other sin is being indulged in now, aside from Despair or Wrath.
no subject
After something like this, I don't imagine it would be exactly comfortable enough to be in the mood to indulge in the lighter, more pleasurable things.
no subject

Well, no. I'll likely be indulging in quite a lot of alcohol later.

[ What kind of hellish hedonism den is this? ]

[after all...
they're all here for a reason. if they didn't feel that what they wanted was worth whatever they had to do to get it - they wouldn't be here.]
no subject
[ It's just sad because everyone else is also down about it. It pulls at Steven's more still-empathetic side. ]
...Well, if you need a drinking partner at any rate -- I don't think I could keep up with you, but at least in company.

Since we can't keep investigating, I want to write down as much of what I remember from the trial today as I can before I drink. It might not be enough to find who did it with what we found, but if anything similar comes up later...
[it's better than just trying to go by memory in a few weeks!]
no subject
If not for ourselves, for the boy, and any other possible ones down the line. [ There's a bigger picture here. Surely. Most definitely. Must be. ]
...We'll figure it out. Whether by running, by walking, by crawling -- as long as there are people willing to try, we'll find an answer.
no subject
The one thing I'm not willing to do is to just forget about it.
[so no booze for her tonight]
no subject
If you need a second mind to help try to keep track of things. [ Or just to talk, get thoughts out of your head. ] My text line is always open.

Thanks, Steven.

[wow! sure is nice to have people to rely on.
anyway this officially means i need to accost you for a drinking thread tomorrow. i for one am terrified of what the execution is going to look like.]
