...we will have to keep an eye out for that regardless. Even if neither of them seemingly lost their own minds, one might think sparing them further such experiences here to be a kindness, in an addled state-- or simply see them differently.
Evidently, eliminating the afflicted party is a necessity. If that is true, we cannot afford to spare anyone the scrutiny.
Yeah. [ it's more of an agreeing noise than answer, but, yeah. it's funny - this is one of those moments where the crystallines really shine through. logical and cold and all that.
after a moment of pause, vax just stands there for a second, and then sighs and flops down on the couch. ]
I'll tell you right now, I didn't fucking do it. Scrutinize all you want. [ his buzen :( his marine buddy 9s :( ] What a shit pattern.
[ this is muttered, mostly a little petulant, but he doesn't really mean it. he's more than aware of the effects of a good charm spell.
... he's quiet, for a bit after that, though. just laying here, sprawled on the couch, probably half leaning on emet, eyes closed, hand on his face. it takes a while before he speaks up again: ] Fucking - I promised Buzen I'd meet him whenever he died, take him off to whatever place he had to rest. His whole - he's been through some of the same shit I have. Exists, doesn't exist, all at the same time. How 'm I supposed to guide him off when he kicks it like this?
[ this!!! sucks!!! buzen die when you're supposed to die!!!! ]
[ it just sucks. it sucks not to be able to fulfill that. what good is he, champion of the raven queen, in a place like this? for someone like buzen.
Let's meet again, at the end of everything.
the arm coming up over his shoulder gets him to slump, a little, some of the tension loosening just at the gesture. it's wind coming out of his sails. ]
...Fuck. [ anticlimactic, maybe, but it is what it is. ]
[ he shakes his head, though... that's a good question to ask, actually. especially in buzen's case. what's he supposed to do? ] Guess I never thought about it. They'd probably know, though.

[he's also doing better than he was last week, it seems, tense but largely neutral.]
We shall see if the cause remains the same, as well.

Yeah. Can't imagine what the fuck else'd push anyone to kill - either of them. Least maybe this time it probably won't be as personal.
[ maybe. buzen was one of three, after all. ]

Without knowing what becomes of souls, here, I do not think we can say how. I cannot perceive them, if they are present.
[a few moments of quiet, there.]
But neither did I know him that well, myself, to consider such things. Only the other two.

a bit of the tension seems to ease out of him too, with the contact. touch week is a hell of a drug.]

Did you happen to ask Shale?
