[ch. 6] post-trial, w/ rebecca

[asswipe]

[Regardless of whether Rebecca is purposely seeking Veronica out or not, she'll eventually bump into her in the library. She's staring at the leather bound book, listless. Though she does notice Rebecca walking in, she doesn't do much to acknowledge her existence before meeting her eyes for two seconds and just

looking away.

Hi.]

[What if Rebecca just went to her room and died? What if she just did that?]

That's about it. The Historians, the five of us, would get memories about the previous game. The one that Beauty and Beast ended prematurely. We were trapped in one of those doors that shows up on Wednesdays when Beauty killed Tiger.

I don't know if the memories will keep happening now that I... I'm alone.

[Please don't die, Rebecca. Think of Cardia.

Veronica sighs, rubbing at her face.]

I'm... I'm sorry, Rebecca. I really am. This isn't the way I imagined this weekend going.

[She'd be okay. At this point Rebecca's sure anybody in the castle would be a better partner to her.]

I don't know if anybody imagined it this way. Five people dead and three up for execution. [Her voice gets higher and higher, like she's starting to get hysterical.] We... We really have to talk- about... about who we're going to execute. We don't have that many people left.

[They can't afford to lose three again.]

I don't know what your objectives are. But at this point, you're the Villain I know the best.

[asswipe]

... I know. I know. We're going to give it all we got to make sure that never happens again. We've come too far to fuck it all up when we're this close to the finish line.

[She will literally Die if they lose their chance to save the dead when they're so, so very close.]

We need to get better at communicating... So tell the Viziers that I'll ask about the ink. Make sure they don't waste their questions on it.

[Rebecca's been ready to die since Natsuo and Evan's bodies were found.]

[asswipe]

We seriously do.

[God. They suck.]

When do you get to ask your question? Just in case I don't get to the Viziers before they ask theirs.

[disclosures]

I always meet them on Mondays. That's when I ask whatever questions I have.

[asswipe]

... Okay. I'll... let you know tomorrow if I managed to get to them before they spoke to the Crafters.

[disclosures]

Do they meet on Sundays...?

Okay. Alright. I'll make it to Monday.
