... It's what we have to do if we want to save the dead. We can't lose more civilians at this point.

[And we all know the dead are fucked, so.]

By the way, Ion left four letters for his friends. Whoever killed him approached him earlier in the week and got his permission to do it.

... [ Varian just. Stays quiet after that announcement, upset. Sry y'all he'll contribute in a second ]

We aim for someone whose loss will do the least harm. If one of the killers is a danger to us all-- if we find out that they are a loose cannon, then it's fine. If not. We still have the option of an Editor vote, if we can find out who they are.

He refuses to let them be blamed for it. He told them his objective... and wants my partner and I to protect whomever it might be.

[ He pockets the letter with a snap and flourish of his sleeves. Despite everything, he looks ... better, than he's been as of late, the shadows under his eyes not as pronounced. ]

well. that's just like this castle, isn't it. ]

I-- have some news. The letter that was found addressed to Evan? It's fake. He never received it, so it had to be planted after.

[whomst the fuck, thinks veronica from the land of backtags.]

[ varian blinks at steph, slowly, and swallows ]

... Wait, fake? Why?

[ yea varian why. i wonder. so mysterious! ]

[ that just nets an easy, elegant shrug from ion. ]

Misdirection, of course. They wanted to cast suspicion and doubt in the wrong direction.

Even if it does not hold under scrutiny, it is still time wasted.

i hate this

[vigilantics]

Right. If it comes down to it, I'll probably just out what I know if it makes people move along faster.

[ which she does and then afterwards regret just a tiny bit because VARIAN!!!!!!!!!!!! ]
