[ch. 2] post-trial, w/ varian

[asswipe]

[Hey, Varian. Sometime after the trial, Veronica's going to be pulling him somewhere secluded.]

I hate that we had to watch someone make out with a corpse to get the names of two of the special roles.

Comments

[asswipe]

I mean, I could be wrong. [so. shrugs???]

We have Historians, who are designed to push people towards their objectives. If we count the Blotters, that's one role that's specifically designed to keep this war going. Now that we know that, and based off the other weird shit we've seen, maybe... we can take a guess as to what the other roles are?

[Like


maybe who the fuck keeps screwing around with the evidence?? Though that may be a title, hm.]

[alchemenace]

Heroes and villains is still the running theme. [ he frowns in thought ] If we have people designated to kill, then wouldn't it make sense to have a group designated to catching them?

[ fuckin bloody shoes are another thing entirely ]

[asswipe]

Like a group of detectives. That makes sense...

[She hums, thinking back to the trial.]

... But not so much if they're meant to catch the Blotters. Those change every week. [but...] Remember what Dragon said when she brought the Historians up? There are some people who think what they're doing is good, and others who think what they're doing is bad.

[alchemenace]

[ what the fuck is a detective that isn't akechi ]

... Whoever they are, they might be trying to stop this entire war. Is that what you're getting at?

[asswipe]

[... why are the two detectives here a murderer and a furry. okay, moving on.]

Yeah, something like that. And we know there are multiple "win" conditions.

[alchemenace]

What if all those "special roles" have their own ending, then? Their, their own "win conditions"?

[asswipe]

[...]

Then we have to find what those conditions are, and what kind of ending they guarantee. Some are bound to screw us over more than the others.

[alchemenace]

But how do we figure it out? Outside of what we received, it sounds like the Blotters are the only ones who are getting access to information right now. [ a beat ] If they live.

[asswipe]

[a beat.]

Maybe we should beat up Akechi and Fitzgerald.

[SHE'S JOKING and yet]

[alchemenace]

[ ... ]

I hold them, you punch?

[ varian is five feet tall this is clearly a real option ]

[asswipe]

Good thinking. They'll never know what hit them.

[clearly this is a real option and the real reason they won't know is because

they're both short as fuck rip]

[alchemenace]

[ god they're so short ]

... Though we should try for Akechi. He's shorter.

[ FITZ IS SO TALL ]

[asswipe]

... I'd say hell yeah, but somehow I don't think Eichi would be happy about that?

[WHY IS FITZ SO TALL.]

[alchemenace]

... Unlike Ion, who might be okay with it after this weekend.

[ damn it ]

[asswipe]

Unless he's taken matters into his own hands, already. We've been foiled again.

[no punching for them. sad.]

[alchemenace]

I would pay good money to see that.

[asswipe]

So would everyone else, I bet you.

[alchemenace]

It would be really satisfying.

[asswipe]

Cathartic after having to deal with him tonight.

[alchemenace]

Not that I'm complaining that the murderers keep confessing, but... Have they considered doing it faster?

[asswipe]

If only. What the hell is up with all the last minute confessions?

[alchemenace]

A very sudden onset of guilt?

[ doubtful ]

[asswipe]

Their onset would be more helpful if it didn't keep happening right before we have to vote.

[alchemenace]

At least it happens at all, I guess.

[ week 3 laughs ]
