I always put myself in destructive situations [W5, Friday]

[hydrokinetics]

[It took time. Everything took time as it always did. It took time for them to all calm down, it took time to heal physical wounds, it took time to properly remove the evidence of obscene crimes...but in the evening they were able to gather in one place away from everyone else. It hadn't been easy coordinating everything, but it was necessary.

And so here they were. All seven of them.]

...I don't really know where to start. [His voice is tight, but determined.] But we need everybody on the same page. Who wants to go first?

[She doesn't really agree - she should have been more careful, should have asked better questions, should have done something. This was preventable. She doesn't comment on it further, though, just nods.]

The full list of stuff that's been on a list but I haven't chosen, other than the ones I already mentioned, is a crowbar, flashlight, cyanide, stun baton, and USB stick. The same stuff usually keeps popping up in different lists.

[...]

Well, if those stuff pop up often, maybe we can figure out right now how we could use any of them. Right now, determining what to do with the items has been a weakness of ours.

[robitussin]

...He told me the next list is going to be full of stuff that could actually help. In exchange for the - animals.

[insincerely]

... Here's hoping, but who knows what the hell's running through that piece of junk's mind?

[robitussin]

[She shakes her head.]

He wouldn't lie about it. He's an asshole, but not that particular brand of asshole.

[insincerely]

I don't think he's necessarily lying, but... I'm not sure if I trust that what he thinks will help us will actually help us.

Then again, it might be that I probably trust us less. We suck at dealing with the items.

[robitussin]

...Yeah, that's fair. I'll make sure to ask him more questions about everything on the list this week, either way.
