[ she nods, agreeing with that wholeheartedly.

she sure does keep thinking about that overlap...hateful. ]

I feel like I might have an idea, but even if it was right, what would we do with them? And wouldn't that just put a giant target on their back?

[ frowns ]

They must have been under some sort of compulsion, just like before...

...if they were under some sort of compulsion, Miss Rose, it's possible... they might still be a danger to themselves and to others.

[what if... they strike again...]

If there were some way to know for sure... I don't know what we would do, but we could certainly keep a close watch.

That's true...this is new to us, having two killers...

[ they don't know if the compulsion wears off, if the culprit isn't caught. ]

Bubblegum has been suggesting a dungeon since day one...even a jail of some kind might be worth considering...not that I much like the idea myself, but at least having a place where we can keep close watch on them...

[jiuqing purses her lips.

she's not fond of dungeons or prisons because (redacted), but bubblegum does have a point. maybe if they create a place to keep people who pose a danger to the group, they'll be given options other than "combat" or "execution" when they catch a culprit.]

I don't much like it either, but it's better than the alternatives.

Yeah...

[ jiuqing your lore...

ruby would agree with being able to have a third option, but alas... ]

You think it would even let us have that, as an option I mean? Sometimes I wonder if these deaths and what not are a form of sacrifice...for whatever reason, I don't know, but...

I don't know...

[she wishes she knew, but she just doesn't.]

It would be nice if it would. But, perhaps it wants blood to be repaid in blood. Still... we don't really have any sort of secure holding area now. Perhaps if we can make one, it would nudge this place into allowing us to make use of it.

[ there is so much they don't know, even with the notes and things popping up...it's like one giant puzzle, with the pieces scattered about. hidden. ]

An eye for an eye...[ hateful ] And that's a good point, after all, all we can do is try, right? Who knows what could happen.

[ she says that and immediately thinks "probably nothing good..." ]

[hateful indeed]

If we're lucky, it might be the solution we're looking for.

[but if they're not...

...

eh. she's not going to let herself dwell on that right now.]
