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.]

A shame the Sage can't be targeted as a victim, right? He's seriously as bad, if not worse than Gongora is.

[gyakusatsu]

You can target him. You just won't win, if you do.

[A beat.] Not that I can blame people for trying it. It's pretty damn tempting.

[notimmortal]

I'm fond of not dying, so yeah can't target him. He's the one who deserves it.

[gyakusatsu]

Even if you die here, it doesn't seem like you stay dead.

[notimmortal]

Not something I want to find out for myself and I sure don't want you or any of my remaining friends finding out.

[gyakusatsu]

I'm not making any promises, Jansen. I may not want to find out first hand, but it's not as though I, or anyone else, truly has a say in the matter. Mako was killed for the crime of defending himself from two assailants. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

[Her tone is deeply bitter here.]

Next week, it could be you. Could be me. Could be anyone.

Then how's this: if I die next week or anytime before we all find a way home I want you to know now that I'm not scared of dying. It sucks, but it's something that happens to us all. What I don't want is for you to beat yourself up or a poor innocent pillow because you felt you should have stopped it. I'd want you to use that frustration to find some way out of here and to give the Sage what he deserves. And you know what? Mako seems like a good enough man that I think he'd want the same thing.
