it's not too much of a surprise, i think
but i'm glad too
you all needed him.
katzepaw: (white feather)

[personal profile] katzepaw 2021-07-12 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
We did.

Maybe it's better for him over there, but we needed him here.

he probably won't mind
he'd prefer to be with you guys.

[personal profile] katzepaw 2021-07-12 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably. He is tough, anyway. And if it turns out we all have to die in the end to get out of here, he has so much experience.

oh don't jinx it
dying is never fun

[personal profile] katzepaw 2021-07-12 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
It wasn't for me, either. And I don't believe in jinxes. But I do hope it won't come to that.

hopefully not
especially since
they're only going after one person a week, right?
if sieghart's killer was unrelated to them

I didn't think so.
But then Riku called into question my theory that if they were killing us to save us they would be killing more ruthlessly. Perhaps it was somewhat sociopathic.

it would be easier if we actually knew like....
how they were choosing victims, i guess
katzepaw: (white feather)

[personal profile] katzepaw 2021-07-13 12:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. But I suspect we have to give up on learning more about their motives and perhaps just take it on faith that they need to be doing what they're doing.

I just feel badly about it. The one I know and the one I am fairly certain I know. . . I don't want either of them to be suffering this way.

[personal profile] departea 2021-07-13 03:47 pm (UTC)(link)
we can still try to learn more about the motives i think
just.... not through them

but it's...
i'm not really a fan of killing, which seems obvious but
i don't know. no matter what the reason, murder is still murder
which is difficult to sit on when it might be for a good cause
even if you know that you're doing something that might be good for the overall cause, it still might not feel that way during the act itself right?

I may not be the person to ask about this.
I have killed a lot of people in my life, Annie.
Sometimes for reasons I thought were right at the time, sometimes not.
I imagine for most people it is very difficult.
Though maybe the harder part is the next day, comforting others' grief and lying to them.

no it's
one of my best friends from back home has, too. a lot of people.
so i'm used to having to deal with that. it's not... too shocking

but that's true
at the end of the day they only really have each other while they have to pretend to everyone else that it's fine

[personal profile] katzepaw 2021-07-14 12:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I know.

I have been watching what has been happening to one of them who I am certain of but who has not yet been exposed. I hate that there is nothing I can do about it.

[personal profile] departea 2021-07-14 01:49 pm (UTC)(link)
they all probably realized that it would be difficult
although i wonder why they make it not that hard to figure them out
well
i suppose they do seem to have self-sacrificial personalities
katzepaw: (strip of cloth)

[personal profile] katzepaw 2021-07-14 01:56 pm (UTC)(link)
They do. Perhaps that's why they were chosen for this?

[personal profile] departea 2021-07-14 02:44 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah
and it might explain why they don't clean up after themselves that well
they don't really seem like the type to really want to hide.
or maybe it was also their way of trying to hint that something was going on if they couldn't tell us directly
