That's right - those who get away with such things tend to be emboldened.

[she can't think of anyone who would just... stop, after getting away with murder once]

[alteracion]

I just... don't understand why they did it. To either of them.

[shiftingwinds]

I don't, either. If it was about indulging - there are plenty of ways to do that without bloodshed.

[alteracion]

And even if it was about indulgence, that doesn't explain the skull.

[ WHY WAS THERE A HUMAN SKULL ]

[shiftingwinds]

Right - where did it even come from? No one appeared to be missing their skull!

[is this like fucking handgate all over again]

[alteracion]

And why did they shatter the teeth?

[ AND ONLY THE TEETH? ]

[shiftingwinds]

[someone really didn't like those outside bones]

It makes no sense. Was it meant to be a clue? Should we have checked if anyone was missing teeth of their own?

[alteracion]

Then they'd... still be missing teeth, wouldn't they?

[ so they could... do a mouth check she hates this ]

[shiftingwinds]

[she makes a face because she really doesn't want to suggest this, but,]

Unless they took the skull's teeth to... disguise what they were missing.

[


dentures!]

[alteracion]

That's not how teeth work.

[ she refuses this. ]

[shiftingwinds]

[WHEW.]

Oh, good. I wasn't sure, but I couldn't think of why else the teeth would be missing.

[alteracion]

I'm pretty sure you'd get an infection if you put someone else's teeth in your mouth.

[shiftingwinds]

Well, if anyone shows signs of an infection next week...

[alteracion]

We tie them up and wait for it to run its course?

[ grace is all for letting them die of an infection. it's fine ]

[shiftingwinds]

I was going to say "we've found the culprit".

[alteracion]

Well, we'd still need to do something with them, right?

[shiftingwinds]

Well, yes...

[alteracion]

And it's not like we've got anything to treat an infection anyway.

[shiftingwinds]

...that's also true.

[


she chugs her entire glass of booze.]

[alteracion]

[ ... hm ]

It was a joke, Shi.

[shiftingwinds]

[she pours herself another glass]

...you weren't wrong, though. If anyone else is injured, what's to stop their wounds from getting infected?

[endorsi...]

[alteracion]

Don't worry. [ she nudges sqx with a knee, because, she can ] You can still disinfect regular wounds with alcohol, or just make sure to clean them thoroughly with soap. It stings, but it does the job well enough.

[shiftingwinds]

[whew]

Oh, good. Medicine isn't exactly my domain, so I wasn't sure.

[alteracion]

Believe me, it's not mine either, but we had to make do on the train. A lot.

[shiftingwinds]

Sorry, what's a train?
