ain't no party like a murdergame afterparty, cw: some mentions of alcohol

[originallutece]

[--cuz a murdergame afterparty is horrifying and sad and possibly a little threatening if Mahiro insists on bringing his gun with him, please don't do that buddy.

Honestly, guys, we're running out of cooks at this rate. But it's nice to gather after horrifying events, and so while Rosalind's cooking skills are absolutely terrible, her alcohol-pouring skills are a little better. Come have a glass of wine or three and ruminate on the fact that there's only fourteen of us left.]

We weren't always able to, no. But it's an ability we've grown used to having. I can't give you a number of years, because frankly time stops having meaning at that point, but we had it for quite a while.

['Too bad it doesn't work here' is something that floats through his mind, but that's obvious enough. If it was that easy to break through this cage, none of this would've happened to begin with. Still...]

So if we found a way to get rid of whatever's blocking that ability of yours, could you get us all home?

[originallutece]

Yes.

[There's not a moment of hesitation.]

It would be like opening a door.

[He looks contemplative before he replies, albeit he's not really looking at her. It's more like he's talking to himself, really?]

Might be our best shot, if we don't wanna play around with their game then.

[However, after that Mahiro's back to having eye contact.]

How much do you know about the corruption?

[originallutece]

Not very much. Not beyond what we've all learnt. How much I believe is another thing entirely-- I've never heard of anything that would consume worlds like that.

[irrationalities]

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

[With that said...]

They haven't given us any damn proof anywhere either. You'd think that if they'd wanna convince us of it, they'd give us something more substantial.

[Instead they only really bother talking about it when asked.]

[originallutece]

[Another day, another time, that might have made her smile.]

I don't think they have to, really. Why should they? We're caught here, belief or not, and most people don't seem to be murdering for corruption's sake, but for the sake of simply guaranteeing their loved ones are safe.
