You might have to queue up for that one.

[ ..... ]

Yeah. I heard.

[survivaltricks]

[. . . hah. lightly amused]

Lili?

[voidbreaker]

And Kara, they both know. [ ... ] Apparently, so does Dimitri.

You think someone wanted revenge?

[survivaltricks]

[a huffed laugh, his eye slipping shut as he tilts his head back]

I told Lili last night. Her word spreads like wildfire. . . I'm not surprised.

[he lifts a hand, raking it through his hair]

. . . I don't know. Maybe. The only one left here who might have been close enough to seek revenge was Majima.

[voidbreaker]

We only know the who, not the why, yeah?

[ ... ] Not really enough to formally accuse him of anything.

[survivaltricks]

Right. I already wrote a letter to Guy about it, though. I hope he can ask her and write back to us next week.

[HOPEFULLY IT WON'T. BE CENSORED]

Not nearly enough. And who knows? It might not have been a revenge killing at all.

[maybe she was just unlucky]

[voidbreaker]

[ haha it will be ]

No closer to finding out whether or not there is an executor system in play either then, are we?

... If her getting killed now really is a coincidence, then her luck is terrible.

[survivaltricks]

No.

[which is. frustrating?? super frustrating]

When Nie-san wouldn't give me answers, I had hoped that I could find Yu's killer and ask them. [. . .] But I suppose I should have accounted for them being possibly dead.

[voidbreaker]

He kept his mouth shut until the end?

[ like. man he feels bad for beau but he would punch NHS if he could no joke. ] Good for him. [ he does not sound serious. ] Hope he chokes on that spite wherever he ends up.

[survivaltricks]

[. . . ha ha]

[on the other hand, Akira just sounds tired]

If he told someone, then it wasn't me. And I'm not about to beat down Beau's door to ask her.

[voidbreaker]

Yeah. This... isn't the time to be asking Beau anything. [ ... ]

We can't really leave her alone either. Grief's a bitch, and she's already lashed out because of it.

[survivaltricks]

Mmm. Don't worry; I don't plan on letting her deal with this alone.

[he is, in fact, going to go see her shortly after finishing up here]

. . . I don't mean to sound callous, but she can't use this as an excuse to give up.

[voidbreaker]

It's not callous. She's already been trying to burn bridges since yesterday. Some people are hurt enough themselves that they'll let it stick.

[ tough love for beau. ]

[survivaltricks]

[. . . tch]

Anger is a double-edged sword.

You can use it to fuel you into moving forward, or it can come back to bite you in the ass.

[voidbreaker]

[ me, gesturing at All Of Ash: ]

I know.

[survivaltricks]

[relaxing a bit, because. . . yeah]

I know you know.

[that's one reason they vibe!!]

[voidbreaker]

... She can get past it. She just needs a kick up the ass and to challenge that anger in the right direction.

Not just... lashing out.

[survivaltricks]

. . . I'll let you know how my talk goes with her. Okay?

[since it seems like Ash is just as worried as he is]

In the meantime, we have something else to talk about other than Shinobu.

[voidbreaker]

Okay. I'll... give her a bit longer and then I'll go see her. Don't wanna overwhelm her.

[ beau's horrible no good week. ]

...

Something to do with surprise packages at your cabin?

[survivaltricks]

[that's enough depressing talk for now time to MOVE ONTO SOMETHING HAPPIER]

Mmmmmaybe.

[he pulls a tomagotchi out of his pocket]

[it's pink and cute]

[voidbreaker]

[ ash ...

...

i don't really know how to say this? it's a fucking sky dancer. ]

Who comes up with this crap?

[survivaltricks]

[. . . . . . . A SKY DANCER???]

Pinkie, probably.

What's yours do?

[voidbreaker]

[ Y U P ]

... [ he pulls a face ]

It's a heat seeking projectile that causes an small explosion on impact.

[survivaltricks]

[I'm sorry he]

[just]

[turns away and covers his mouth and tries his hardest not to crack up]

[voidbreaker]

[ he







pushes him. ]
