We are knowing what to expect this time, at least. I think.
[ Less time spent on asking the angels questions, more time spent on immediately figuring it out, maybe. Said like there aren't going to be ten people at their door going YOU SAID THIS WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. ]
People will still be emotional. [ understandably so. loss and grief and the knowledge that their numbers are thinning... ] But at least we'll have more direction. The market and library.... It's a start.
It is a higher level of difficulty now, huh? But I know you shine with perseverance. I don't know what hardships you've lived through, but I know you can persevere.
I am glad that someone is able to see a brightness in it.
[ He does at least think Elysia is sincere enough that this doesn't come off as pointless optimism to him. Being 50,000 fucking probably helps. She's seen the rise and fall of entire civilisations. ]
For now, though. We are still learning how to get through it.
[ she doesn't mind. some plays that are considered tragedies, she has called romantic.... she is not blind to the horrors. she just is weird for a few reasons. ]
It takes time to walk forward and to build something to stand on. We will try out best to find our way to end of this road.
[ that is full of murder, but it is still a road nonetheless. ]
[ she will teach him about it when two people aren't dead. or maybe because two people are dead. they got to waste time while people look at bodies and the market and library. ]

[ He shifts at that. ]
Same person...?
no subject
It'd be a lot.
[ for someone to just go for it like that. not that she's never met people like that. ]
no subject
If we are doing that trial thing tomorrow too, two people throwing a wrench into it could make it very, very difficult.
no subject
I know we can find at least one. We'll have to try to keep the tensions from being too much, if it arises.
[ people are going to have their focus and preferences. ]

Yes. That is important.

It is like a mounting trials.
no subject
We are not alone to handle these mounting trials.
no subject
[ Why. Who? Two??? ]
We may persevere, but there will be scars.
no subject
[ there are many reasons why someone could kill, but those are the most applicable right now. ]
Scars may come from wounds, but their presence can still be beautiful.

I do not want to pretend or ignore hurts. It is a part of everyone.
[ feeling pain, feeling sorrow, feeling despair and yet still going on... it's something that shines in the darkness. ]

[ Within 9 hours, that is. Yike. ]

[ she raises a small fist. faito, hwaiting, etc. ]
no subject
I think, at the least, both would go down fighting.
Adolphe, for his friends, and Brim...
[ Well, just because. He kind of absently rubs at a spot on his abdomen. ]
no subject
They both had fight to them.
[ even if adolphe was so tired all the time. ]
Did Brimstone punch you there?
no subject
I'm not sure. I woke up a little sore here.
no subject
Huh? Where were you locked in?
no subject
With Adolphe and Brim both.
no subject
I wonder if something happened in the fight that it reached you.
[ while he was unconscious or otherwise. ]
But if they were both there, the evidence might overlap, too.
no subject
Nothing looked strange there when we woke up.
[ Just like last time. ]
no subject
[ she taps his hand with a finger and gestures for him to make a fist. ]
no subject
[ They'll have to take matters into their own hands, somewhat. He blinks, but makes a fist as requested. ]
