[HEY, STEPH.

First thing Veronica is going to say to her once the body announcements are done and people have dispersed—]

Jesus Christ, I'm so happy you're alive.

Pretty much. And I'm pretty sure that if we try to do Dragon's end, there's a big chance Tiger is going to try to kill her? So, uh, we're going to try to write them new stories with our leftover ink. I'm going to talk to Dragon tonight to try to come up with an idea of what she might want that isn't the sweet release of death.

[asswipe]

... Of course she would. [TIGER WHY.] Keep me updated, please. If— If there's anything I can do to help, I'll do it. I'm not letting anyone screw this up for us, Narrator or Crafter.

[Hm.]

By the way, I found a note on Rebecca's body addressed to— someone's family? Not in Rebecca's handwriting. It... kept saying that they were in a place of terror, and that the writer wishes they could do something for them but that they were bound by the rules. [...] There was a vial along with it, but I was so caught up on Rebecca that I didn't think to check. Talking about Tiger reminded me of it, so... Does it right any bells?

[vigilantics]

[ she frowns. ]

It's... kind of hard to say. We probably won't solve that mystery until trial.

[asswipe]

... Thought so. Let's see if we have enough time for it during the trial. I'm worried about Eichi pulling something.

[vigilantics]

...

Oh god. Eichi.

[asswipe]

I know.

[vigilantics]

Okay, well... that's just something we'll have to deal with if it comes up.

[ she sure hopes that they warned him beforehand.

although steph isn't sure if that would have gone any better, knowing him. ]

[asswipe]

Hopefully without bloodshed.

[well. it was fine.

so thank god.]

[vigilantics]

We managed to not kill anyone during trials before at least.

[ i mean. people definitely die midtrial now though. ]
