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?

Yeah well
Better accept the worst case scenario now than get fucked up over it later

[thatsthespirit]

We need to try and prevent the worst case scenario.

If Xion knows about Damian, but she isn't the actual Deputy, then perhaps we can get to her before she tells this person.

[elemancy]

....Finding out if she told anyone is gonna be important, ASAP.

[thatsthespirit]

[argh!!]

But we have the trial tomorrow, and that is going to take most of our attention. And we don't know if Xion has already spoken to anyone about Damian or not.

[elemancy]

I know, we can't do much to change the schedule. Guess it means it's a lot of time she won't have to say anything. Maybe we can catch her right after or something.

[thatsthespirit]

We'll have to. Immediately after.

[because this sure as shit isn't something that can wait]

[maybe they can kidnap Xion in the middle of the night or smth???]

[insincerely]

Well, the good news is that just about any one of us has a good excuse to talk to her, given who just died. [Damn it, Yuna.] Xion would probably want to offer comfort.

[thatsthespirit]

She already approached me earlier today for that.

[. . .]

[and, if she's going to be honest]

I appreciated it from her.

[insincerely]

[...]

It probably wasn't insincere. Regardless of what Xions turns out to be...

[Those moments were still genuine. As someone who's been betrayed before, Shinnosuke knows that that isn't impossible.]

[thatsthespirit]

I know.

Xion is still Xion. She is kind, and thoughtful, and very strong.

[impulsiveness]

Natalie rooms with her. Might be easier for her to pull her aside for a second.
That or we draw straws to see which one of us wins their next academy award. Turn on the waterworks and let her come to us.

[insincerely]

Percy and I were planning on going to the post office after the trial, but that can wait if one of us should do it.

Think Natalie's up to the task?

[impulsiveness]

That's a question for Natalie. It's up to her.

[elemancy]

Right. Gonna have to leave that to the ones who can handle it, though.

[aka, the ones who she knows are aware of it, obviously.]

[robitussin]

I mean, I live in the same room as her, if you need me to invite a reason for you to come over I can manage that.
