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?

I never said we shouldn't be worried about him, but Dr. Lecter will keep him in check for a while.

...Annabeth mentioned a couple. You don't think...? [PLEASE NO? But also me oocly "why are you all so goddamn stupid."]

[robitussin]

I don't mean them as a couple. Hannibal's not... I mean, I really don't think he's someone we should be concerned about.

But maybe she was using the couple example to get you to look at one person who's a part of a couple here.

[hydrokinetics]

Natalie. I don't want to think badly about Dr. Lecter either but there's something there. There has to be.

So...what, you think she meant for us to look at Felix, Chane, Will or Dr. Lecter? Unless there are other couples here I don't know about.

[robitussin]

I don't think there are, unless someone is keeping it under wraps.

I guess there's no point in considering Chane anymore, so... I don't know.

[insincerely]

Well, she might've meant Chane, and Chane just got unlucky this week, and if so case closed. We'll learn tomorrow if she had a role, probably.

[robitussin]

Yeah, that's fair. Maybe we should focus on the others for now, though, until we know.

So. You got any thoughts?

[insincerely]

... The only one I've really talked to is Felix, but I don't think I've personally seen a side of him that he hasn't already made clear to others.

[He shrugs.]

So I've got nothing.

[hydrokinetics]

"If you want something done, then do it yourself." [It's said slowly.] That's...what Felix told me this week when I spoke to him. Kind of out of nowhere.

[insincerely]

On one hand, he's a weird guy in general. On the other hand... we can't really eliminate anything, can we?

[hydrokinetics]

Not with everything he said after that. He said something like..."I want hold you kids accountable, too. You've been playing the cops for too long, you forget that anyone who votes isn't exactly innocent." And then he reminded us that the "most honorable" thing would be to not vote, but that nobody does that because nobody wants to die like the others the Sheriff made an example of.

I didn't ask for this. He just...said it.

[elemancy]

[wtf tho.]

[hydrokinetics]

[Yeah, he knows.]

This is why I don't believe in organized religion. He was posing as a pastor this week.

[elemancy]

I know he hasn't done anything that we know of, but...

He rubs me the wrong way. [muffled ardyn vibes in the distance killing him softly.]

[insincerely]

I actually click well with him.

[no one is surprised]

... Not enough to defend him, but there's no one I'd do that for.

[elemancy]

I'm not even going to pretend to be shocked by that.
