week five, saturday

[countermeasures]

[well.

that's that.

jiuqing passes through roxana's archway to come see her.]

...Miss Roxana?

[disingenuous]

[ hello. welcome. roxana is actually resting in the largest bed ever in the middle of this. ]

Hello, Jiuqing.

[countermeasures]

[roxana is so valid.]

...how are you feeling?

[disingenuous]

.... I knew I hated the week our memories were shared the most.

[ Is that a good enough answer? ]

[countermeasures]

[that explains a lot, yes.]

Because that's how you were caught...

[man. imagine if the only people who saw her butterflies had died between memshare week and now. wouldn't that have been wild?

imagine if meteion had succeeded in killing crow.]

[disingenuous]

... Yes.

[ there were other ways she could've gotten caught, but i definitely put i showed her vore butterflies to at least five people ONE OF THEM HAS TO SWING THE AXE DOWN PLEASE in my evidence list. ]

I hoped Crow would be more preoccupied with his ordeal.

[countermeasures]

[i would have if i'd seen the vore butterflies............ glad u got ur death though.]

Will you explain why you did it?

[disingenuous]

[ thank you, britt. i gave it to people who have tried to save or cuck me in the past.... and i was like you WILL kill me. ]

Everything I do is in order to survive.

[countermeasures]

[you are so valid.]

Did he attack you first?

[disingenuous]

[ She offers a small smile. ]

What do you think, Jiuqing?

[countermeasures]

...I think it doesn't really change how whoever faces you tomorrow is going to have to do things, but -

I'm just curious.

[disingenuous]

It doesn't. Someone will die tomorrow.

[ Not of fun, probably. ]

Garou is still dead, no matter who attacked first. It won't change the result.

[countermeasures]

It changes what may happen in the aftermath should you survive, though.

[disingenuous]

Do you really think so?

[ She's a bit skeptical of that. ]

You may come to your own conclusion.

[countermeasures]

I do. If you're refracting, they won't blame you. They'll try to help you, the same way we've all been trying to help the people who have refracted when we suspect who they are.

And if it was self-defense, and he was refracting... well, you saw what happened with Sir Yasusada today.

[he didn't get the majority vote after it became obvious he was protecting someone from a refracted baby bird.]

But if it's neither of those things... and you walk out of there... I do think the reaction will be very different.

[disingenuous]

I have no straightforward answer for you, Jiuqing.

[ People will just have to settle on their own ideas of what really happened. ]

[countermeasures]

Then I suppose we'll simply have to see what happens tomorrow.

[...]

If it's me in there with you - I will kill you. If you are refracting, that's the best help I'll be able to offer you tomorrow.

[disingenuous]

[ Her smile is faint. ]

So many of you are volunteering. You may try, but you already know I plan to survive.

[ Maybe some choose combat so they can die by the hand of someone they know rather than the abstract nightmares the Prism gives, but she isn't making it a secret that she wants to live. ]

[countermeasures]

I'm aware that you do.

[but she also wants to survive.

so. they'll see what happens. whether it's her or not, it's sure to be a vicious fight.]

[disingenuous]

All right. It will be what it will be.

[ It really will be a terrible fight. ]

[countermeasures]

...for now, though... before you have to fight anyone...

Is there anything I can do for you?

[disingenuous]

[ ... ]

So many of you have asked me this.

[countermeasures]

You're not surprised, are you? It's only been six weeks, but that's long enough for you to know the kind of people we are, I think.

[disingenuous]

You all are kinder than you need to be.

[ She's a murderer, fam. ]

[countermeasures]

[she's potentially refracted, fam!!]

We don't have to fight until tomorrow. Doing nothing for you now would be crueler than I need to be.
