MANDI SHITPOST LATER

Comments

[duranduel]

I'm not sure. They said that we shouldn't touch the doctor. And yet, someone did.

So I don't...know what happened there.

[silentscout]

"Life or death shouldn't depend on your perceived worth to society."

[Just. Saying that. And from the way he says it, it's something he's been thinking on lately.]

If someone has to die regardless, it should be anyone here. We can't say "well this person shouldn't die" when our hands are forced.

[duranduel]

...Hm.

[He mulls over those words for a moment.]

So you think someone may have had no choice, then.

[silentscout]

I think that, if someone had no choice on killing, they might feel better about killing someone they know has killed before.

[duranduel]

Feel better?

But...it's still killing. You would feel bad from that, right?

[silentscout]

I feel less bad about killing trolls than I would about killing people. Others feel less bad about killing people attacking them than they do about someone they attack. The situation matters.

[duranduel]

Hm.

Still, I suppose that's just a guess. Either someone justified it to themselves, or someone really did just want her dead.

[silentscout]

Mmm. We're going to have to find out tomorrow too.

...people are going to be yelling a lot tomorrow.

[duranduel]

Are they? Because...they're emotional?

[silentscout]

Mhmm. Leo was in Winter dorm, and everyone there is very close to each other. They're all going to be upset.

[And our sweet, sweet Beautome...]

[duranduel]

I see.

[He says this like this is something that hasn't occurred to him yet.]

I guess they will...do as much as they can to find the murderer.

[silentscout]

They'll try. But there's going to be fights.

[He doesn't even need his future-sight-dreams to see that!]

[duranduel]

Fights? You think it will get that bad?

...Maybe we should put a no-fight policy?

[silentscout]

You can tell Beau that.

[duranduel]

...

[He just blinks?]

Do you think she will agree?

[silentscout]

No. She'll yell at you and make you upset.

[This is all said with an air of "that's just how she is". He's not mad at her for being emotional, but he's also not one to mince words.]

Whoever murdered this week is probably going to get attacked. So you'll want to stay clear.

[duranduel]

Oh no...

[Frowning he doesn't want that!]

Okay. I want to find out who it is, though, but...that's good to know...

[silentscout]

I do have a backup plan in case she does try to attack someone and we can't stop her.

[He pulls out a pocketwatch! It's the one he's had for weeks now.]

If I use it, it'll knock someone out. So if things get bad I can put her to sleep for a bit.

[duranduel]

[Ohhhh. Nice watch. He looks over at it.]

Good plan. It may make people more emotional, maybe, but...it should be a start.

[silentscout]

We can't kill anyone at trial. No making villains.

[He seems. Insistent. On this point.]

[duranduel]

Okay. No making villains.

[This seems to be important so he will repeat this too!]

[silentscout]

[Mandi seems to get it, so Lalli will reach out to pat him on the shoulder.]

Good. As long as you understand.

[It's one of the few important things Lalli took away from the Thursday meeting, so.]

[duranduel]

I...think I do?

[He is just. Generally confused all the time! So!]

[silentscout]

[Mandi is the most relatable person here honestly.]
