[discardia]

[ So they run into each other somewhere because this is how they roll!!

Cardia definitely wants to go to bed early, but she'll at least nod. ]

[ she nods back. ]

Cardia.

[ end thread. ]

[discardia]

[ good talk!!

OKAY NO. ]

How are you feeling?

[vigilantics]

As okay as anyone can be after... that.

[ emotionally, she means. physically, life is never ending pain. ]

[discardia]

[ maybe if you stopped trying to kill yourself, Steph!! ]

I understand. It was...

... A lot happened.

[vigilantics]

[ she nods her head, frowning. ]

... there's way too many people who are okay with revenge killing.

[discardia]

It was... a lot more than I expected.

[vigilantics]

Yeah, it's... slightly concerning.

[discardia]

Sandalphon was probably the only one with that ability, too. So if something happens like this again...

[vigilantics]

... it has to be an odd number of people.

[ she looks miserable just saying this. ]

As long as it's always odd, and it's not someone who was partnerless, something like this shouldn't happen again. Crap, this sucks.

[discardia]

... If it's another case with two bodies, though...

[vigilantics]

... there better not be.

If this weekend did anything, it better have taught people to consider things like this.

[discardia]

I hope so. I still don't understand how this works...

[vigilantics]

It's a learning process, and I don't think any of us wanted this lesson.

[ a pause. ]

That was a corny line. Ignore that.

[discardia]

It wasn't wrong, though.

[vigilantics]

Let's pretend I said something cooler that also wasn't wrong then.

[discardia]

... Um. All right, if you'd prefer?

[vigilantics]

Yes.

[ i'm sorry, her life is just her being surrounded by bad one liners at all times. ]
