week 5, thursday w/ THE GANG im tired

[alchemenace]

[ so varian set up the meeting place in... uh ... let's say varian's bedroom so that everyone can just kind of come in of their own capacity. and once that is done, Varian will take the floor to be incredibly awkward ]

Well... Beauty and the Beast wanted us to share information, so. Here we are. I think you're all familiar with each other?

Comments

[alchemenace]

[ oh. okay. guess we're. doing this then. varian frowns a bit, as if mulling it over. he grabs at his arm and shrugs the other shoulder ]

Okay. Well. If we're doing this. I'm, um. The Gingerbread Witch. [ he looks to the floor and heaves out a sigh ] And I can-- I can, um. I can make poisoned food.

[asswipe]

[... Veronica gently places a hand on Varian's shoulder in an attempt to ease his discomfort, but either way? She's sighing, her expression pinched despite the fact she knows this is necessary.]

Okay. Okay, okay. We're doing this. [LORD.] I'm the Snow Queen. I can, um. I can make ice.

[vigilantics]

[ she frowns when varian says his, but then raises an eyebrow when veronica announces hers. ]

... are you the reason there was ice in the kitchen?

[ huh. anyway. there's a pause before she speaks again. ]

I'm the Bear. I... can check evidence. [ hm. she should explain. ] How many items I can check changes per week, and what information I get from it varies? During the last trial one of the items I picked was the sword and I found out the Crafters gave it to the killer.

[fonlines]

[ Mildly: ] That kitchen certainly has seen quite a lot, hasn't it...

[ From being set on fire one week and then being iced over the very next, poor Sanji is going to have a conniption if this keeps up. ]

... Hm. [ He searches his memory, trying to recall whether Steph had ever seemed to simply know more than the rest of them for some reason, but; ] And in the trials before that?

[ but hey, now they've all outed themselves. One small step forward. Where do we go from here. ]

[alchemenace]

[ Varian looks pensive, though he'll wait for Stephanie and Veronica's answers before voicing his thoughts for anyone wondering what that conversation actually sounds like in real time: ]

It's all well and good for us to share our titles, but we can't expect everyone in the Castle to go along with that publicly. It might just give easy victims to anyone looking to end the war quickly? Except we need real numbers if we want any chance to actually coordinate this, this 333-777 thing properly, both for titles and for number of objectives done.

[ howst the fucketh are they going to keep track of something they arent aware of ]

[asswipe]

[She gives Steph a wry smile.]

It was for an objective. Sorry?

[Well. She's not as sorry as she could be, considering two people slipped and fell flat on their asses. Still!!]

... Maybe we can put out our feelers. Not to everyone, but to the people who trust us. [Very specific wording, Veronica.] The worst that could happen is that they won't give us a clear answer, or that they'll lie — but we have to start somewhere. We really, really need those numbers if we want to end this war the right way.

[They're gonna have a bad time, tho.]

[vigilantics]

I knew that one door was opened by an actual lock pick, the exact time one piece of evidence was dropped, that Fitzgerald's fingers were cut by the sword and not the knife...

[ she trails off, mostly since oocly i do not remember what else i picked. ]

Maybe we can try something anonymously? People might be willing to volunteer information if their name isn't attached to it.
