Where do we go from here, and what did you do with directions? [W7, Thursday]

[He knew this was coming for a while now, but it didn't make it easier. He knew how it would happen, too, but it still didn't make it easier. Reading Noctis's letter was hard and there's a spike of shame and an equally large spike of affection for the boy when he reads it. It's why he immediately decides to follow his wishes and he seeks Milla out. He approaches quietly with an item in-hand, body obscuring it a little until he gets a gauge on her mood. No doubt she's feeling just as defeated.]

Hey, Milla...

And forever for her is over for me [W6, Saturday, Post-Trial]

[He's curled up in a ball on the floor, a piece of paper clutched in his hand. He's not able to meet anybody's eyes right now but he knows this is important.

Shinnosuke and Natalie are gone. Jason's MIA. Their numbers are so small and not for the first time he wonders if he should be more scared than he feels.

However, he talks to the top of his shoes instead.]

...go ahead. Lay it on me. [About how he and Jason should have mentioned things sooner. There's a lot more he wants to say, but one step at a time.]

The future's in doubt, you're on your own [Week 6, Friday]

[Silence fills the room. They've lost one of their own and their biggest chance to end the game. It's no surprise no one's in a good mood, but they all know they have to be here.

So...who will speak first?]

Now we’ve got a big, big mess on our hands tonight [W6, Thursday, Pre-Curfew]

[Another day, another meeting. This one's more tense than usual especially with the lack of a small bat-child. Percy's right hand is sloppily bandaged up and his jaw is tight as his eyes burn with anger.]

Dr. Lecter knows we know. He's known since Saturday. Hal confirmed with me he's the Deputy, just like Hal confirmed to Dr. Lecter that we were onto him.

[A shaky sigh.] What the fuck do we do now?

Let's end this spiral down, pick ourselves off the ground [W5, Sunday]

[It's early evening when the Bounty group gathers again. There's more to discuss now that they've had time to cope and pick themselves up again, ready to get back to work. Time is still marching on and it's nothing that they can waste.

Together again, they settle. The room is quiet for a time as they all gather their thoughts. With everything that came up this weekend? They need a new plan of action.]

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

[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?

With everything falling down around me Id like to believe in all the possibilities [W4 Tues Evening]

[Somehow...this doesn't surprise him. Somehow, finding two connecting pieces on sheer accident doesn't surprise him. It's the demigod way, stumbling into things and figuring it out along the way, and it's for that reason he's a little nervous. He had told both parties separately to meet him back out at the homestead near the water, knowing that one party liked to check the animals there and the other would walk that far if he asked.

His head's spinning with information but he's hoping maybe everything will be solved. He knows it means a lot for them to trust him when he isn't a Bounty himself, but he's doing this to protect them both. He'll do whatever it takes to keep everyone who counts safe.

And so, Mrs. O'Leary and Percy sit on the dock, Percy's feet in the water again as he lays on his back and stares behind him. It's hard to say which of them will appear first, but he's ready and waiting.]
