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?

... Mm. She told me that she's still not sure if she's capable of killing anyone in this game, but...

[...]

Her wording was a little weird. She talked about how it shouldn't be her, and that if she tried and failed, it'd be a disaster, but how she'd probably help someone else do it.

[and depending on how the rest of this thread goes Shinnosuke might actually know what she means by that but maybe not BUT ANYWAY I DON'T KNOW YET]

. . .

That makes it sound a little more like she knows who the Deputy is, and is willing to help them kill the Bounty Leader.

[which is. still terrifying. but. less so]

[insincerely]

... Then she'd likely be close to the Deputy. [...] According to the list of people that we know Xion talks to [god they're stalkers], that's Dr. Lecter.

[robitussin]

There could be someone she's close to we don't know about. Wouldn't she be more likely to keep being close to whoever it is a secret?

[insincerely]

Maybe. Of course, she could also just have a role that has her help the Deputy, though I'm not sure what the point of that role would be.

But it seems a little difficult to fake not being so close so well that none of us have caught on.

... Also, I'm guessing this has to do with the fact that you like Dr. Lecter.

[robitussin]

I think you're overestimating how much I like him. I haven't talked to him at all this week or most of the last.

[A shrug.]

...You're right, though. I think I would at least know if there was somebody else she was close to.

[insincerely]

With the way things are going, I really hope you don't like him that much, so that's good to know.

[he'd rather throw hannibal under the bus than xion tbh]

[robitussin]

Not enough to do something stupid, let's put it that way.
