I find that hard to imagine, as well.

[...]

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

[kokytos]

...Yeah. "Indulge" by drinking, fucking, sleeping away your sorrows until we eventually forget about it.

[ What kind of hellish hedonism den is this? ]

[shiftingwinds]

It doesn't sound quite as nice as it did at the beginning of all this, does it? ...but it doesn't seem as though we can simply quit.

[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.]

[kokytos]

Well... I figured from the start that there must be a catch to it.

[ 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.

[shiftingwinds]

I think I'll take you up on that - tomorrow, though.

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!]

[kokytos]

That's true.

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.

[shiftingwinds]

...right.

The one thing I'm not willing to do is to just forget about it.

[so no booze for her tonight]

[kokytos]

[ Wow what a rare occasion! And honestly depressing given SQX's disposition towards alcohol. ]

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.

[shiftingwinds]

[she smiles faintly at that!]

Thanks, Steven.

[kokytos]

Always, Miss Qingxuan.

[shiftingwinds]

If it's "always," you may get sick of me bothering you.

[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.]
