[ well, she'll stick to a gentle backpat if need be but. ]
...
[ she wonders "and what if there was no one else?" but that's not going to help anything right now, so she just stays quiet for a moment. ]
It was like he said then. They tried to keep it within their team so no one felt the need for revenge. But-- something happened to Vane and to Danny and now we're here.
[ it's fine he's really trying to stop flipping the fuck out because he feels like he's overreacting, actually. so it takes a moment of trying to catch his breath and realign everything. ]
...but Vane still killed Danny. That's...that's a thing that happened, don't you think?
Great. That's exactly what I want to hear, that we let someone slip out of our hands again. [ ...angrily scrubbing his face actually. ] At least the stupid quota's fulfilled. I hope the moon's real happy.
[ but. ]
...Vane and Will and Ponta all went out together, yeah. According to Will...they spent a long time trying to find another option outside of killing one of their own. But things happened. I don't know how Will and Vane got split up. I didn't ask.
[ she just lets him vent about that. like. yeah, unfortunately that's exactly what happened here. she can't talk that away.]
... I just don't know why Danny was there at all. Unless whoever it was that controlled Vane had designs on him from the get go, and they just crossed paths. It would be very like Vane to try and protect someone if they were in trouble.
[ looks at the thread i'm having with britt where i just said THIS IS REASON NUMBER 295834053 I AM RUNNING FROM YOU ALWAYS and looks into the camera like i'm in the office. ]
How would they have managed that? Killing's been the quota all along.
What, and Vane just happened to stumble in on accident so they took him out, too? [ that's annoying. ] ...maybe that's all that it was. Being in the wrong place at the wrong time. It's not the way this should have gone, but someone was determined to make things worse.
[ he shrugs though. ]
I think more...how to do it than anything. They all understood it had to be done. Will told me they were going to make it as painless as possible.
More like... they decided to use what they had to kill Danny, and what they had was Vane. [ ... ] Maybe in some weird way, they thought they might be helping the Foxes, but having one kill someone.
[ her tone of voice says EXACTLY what she thinks of that. ]
...
It's pretty impressive that they thought about that and whether people would want revenge, and thats what influenced their decision making.
...yeah, maybe. I don't know. Congratulations to them for...doing whatever this was and getting away with it. [ he should sound less bitter about it. ] I don't like that another person was used to act as a puppet to do this. I don't like that that person's still out there and we don't know what to do with them.
[ ... ]
...sorry, Tama. I don't like much right now. [ a pause. and he tries a different approach. ] Are you okay? I know you liked Vane.
No. I don't like it either. [ naur, he can sound bitter as fuck. ]
I don't blame you. [ ... ] I don't know, really. He seemed so confident that we'd see him again soon in his note, that I want to believe it and make sure I don't mess anything up getting him and everyone else back, rather than focusing too much on what I couldn't do today.
[ ........ ]
I am not joking about making whoever controlled him like that apologise, though. I will drag them over to him myself if I have to.
I mean...we know they're coming back Tuesday, supposedly. Probably as prinnies. We don't know how long they'll stay like that, or even when or how they'll make it back. If they'll be the same and everything. That's the part that worries me still. I don't blame anyone who wants to focus more on what's to come and how to bring everyone back. I just don't know if I can do that today.
I don't think you should joke. I never thought you were less than serious about it. I have a few people I'd like to do the same to, too. It's...going to be a mess when they're all here again.
The note sounded like they should be ... pretty much back to how they were. The one I got, I mean. So, that's what I'm going to believe will happen. I don't want to hesitate when it comes to make sure they all come back.
[ ... ]
We're going to have a lot to focus on but-- I'm not an idiot, I've seen the papers. There's a lot of ... I don't know if 'bad blood's the word I want to use, but. I guess it's not wrong either. And it's not exactly difficult to understand.
We have a lot of people who’ve killed and weren’t caught. The album review was pretty obviously a dig at someone, whether or individual or a few people I don’t know, who killed and had found reasons not to admit what happened. As it was coming through the paper, one or more of then must’ve been alive at that point in time.
I know some people know who killed who, but I didn’t ask and they haven’t told.
[ … ]
That Gemini message worries me though. It sounded… dark.
I think...that one will work itself out sooner than later. Hopefully sooner. A lot of things have been happening this week. I was hoping to make it to the end of all of this without this many problems. Gemini's something to worry about, but I think...all of us want the same thing. We'll keep it together enough until we get there. That much I'm confident about.
From the update, it certainly sounded like it was something that was in the process of being ironed out, but still. I know there’s no other way for the dead to reach us, or vice versa, but I’m going to be curious if there’s shittalking in the papers, y’know?
[ me reading it like :o gasp ]
… It’s being kept pretty secret considering it’s something to worry about. [ she tilts her head. ] If it’s being discussed in the papers, then it’s about someone who’s still here, isn’t it?
I'd ask you what makes you sure it's to be taken seriously, but I know you're smarter than that. [ but he thinks on this. ] It's not...it's something to worry about, and then it's not. I don't think Gemini's a threat, but it's more like if certain steps aren't taken it might be something to worry about. Does that make sense?
[ he does not quite answer her other question because, hm. ]
