...Three again.

[so that's fun.]

[ablazement]

[sighs, rubbing at her face.]

It'll be chaos again. [groans in three bodies] Worse this time. We're all limping.

...This morning. As soon as there was glitter, I knew someone from the house was dead. I didn't expect it to be Kanda. [Yuffie or Kate seemed most likely.]

I don't know why all of us woke up covered in it, but it had something to do with him.

[ablazement]

Was that something you all had with you?

Maybe to try and... leave a trail or something.

[undread]

We keep a lot of arts and crafts supplies about. And the idea of using glitter as a weapon was tossed about, yes.

[ablazement]

We can keep an eye out for glitter.

[she says, but her voice is sort of weak. like she can't force herself to really be eager to solve another murder.]

Do... do a real thorough search when it comes to the people examinations.

It feels rather pointless, doesn't it?

[she understands.]

It's necessary for our survival, but it hardly feels like justice.

[ablazement]

It's just so much harder when you know that whoever did these probably didn't want to at all.

[she folds her arms, but it's a little more like she's hugging herself.]

I'm so tired of watching people I love lose their minds.

...Yes. Tomorrow will be just as unfortunate today, if not more so.

[ablazement]

[carefully, she wipes her eyes with her shoulder, brushing her face against it.]

Guess we've got to have the same plan. To make sure nobody hurts anybody.

[undread]

I think that's about all we can do. Ideally Gale won't antagonize them this time.

[ablazement]

[snort.]

I can't follow him around the entire trial, the culprits get mad.

[undread]

Well. Perhaps a bit of provocation is not so bad, if it gives us more certainty. So long as it isn't so much that they attack!

[ablazement]

... D'you think it was Robin, last time? I didn't get an answer out of her because Gale was busy getting his arse handed to him.

[undread]

Yes.

[firmly.]

I talked to her after. She wouldn't answer any questions directly, except one. When I asked if she'd done what she did in some way to protect Caelus, she was adamant she never would have - she would never have done anything to jeopardize us catching the right person, even if it was someone she cared for.

The poor girl is, I think, afflicted by a more gentle monster than most. But I believe she is afflicted.

[ablazement]

[a little nod...]

Yeah. That's what I thought, too. She was hesitant around me this week. Like she thought I'd be mad.

[...]

I was really fucking mad, actually.

[... no?]

[undread]

No?

[ablazement]

... No, I wasn't.

[undread]

You sound as though you aren't certain of how you felt?

[ablazement]

[she wrinkles her nose.]

I wasn't mad. I don't know why I said that.

[undread]

[yikes...]

Maybe it was a bit like Rondo and I, this week...?

[ablazement]

[a pause, and then:]

-- Oh. That makes a lot of sense, actually.

[undread]

When exactly were you feeling that?

[ablazement]

[squints.]

Kind of right now. What, you don't think she's awful?

[undread]

No. She's rather sweet.

[who's doing this!!! on a friday?]
