I don't have anything to say to anyone. Talking would just make this harder, y'know?

[ Pause. ] I do have a request though. I want Timcanpy to be with me, no matter what happens. As long as he agrees, it's better for him than being stuck here with a bunch of strangers.

[thanatosincarnate]

{ He'll glare at him. }

How could you smile like that, even now?

[booklore]

It's not very hard to smile and be friendly if you know how to do it.

[thanatosincarnate]

...Hmph.

Even now, you're ridiculous.

{ He wish it didn't come to this. But it's not like anything he'll say will change what happened, and as always, he doesn't ask too many questions -- not when others will do so in his stead. }

[parodeity]

I mean, if you have no intention of tellin' us why the fuck you killed your friend it's not like we can force you to do it? Aside from the whole paranoia whatever thing I assume played a huge factor here.

[ so uh

ok ]

[booklore]

I don't think paranoia played as big a part as you think. Or maybe it did for Machias?

He was the aggressor here, not that he intended to be.

[parodeity]

Maybe, but it didn't have to escalate to murder.

[chiseler]

[The hell you don't have anything to say to anyone. It's not even that he's close to Lavi in particular, but he likes the guy enough and...killing one of your friends? Killing one of your good friends? Killing someone you know that much about? After everything...it doesn't sit well with him.

So yeah, fuck this, he's out of his chair and knocking it over and trying to lunge, excuse him.]

What in the gods' name happened? [Frankenstein your assistance is needed here. Just in case. He's not exactly wanting to kill Lavi with his bare hands but...an explanation? Maybe?]

[unasking]

[Oop.

Frankenstein is getting way too old for this shit, but he's still going to react because he doesn't think that Lavi deserves this. So he's just going to go ahead and grab Luke before he manages to get close enough to throw a punch.]

Calm down.

I can't imagine he wanted to do this, Luke.

[booklore]

[ How lungey is this lunge?? If Lavi can move out of the way, he will! If Luke is just trying to grab his shirt or something, then he'll let it happen because who care. ]

Ask Machias!

[chiseler]

[Not lungey enough since Frankendad grabbed him and he sure is a 23 year old throwing a tantrum so. Y'know.]

I don't wanna ask Machias! I'm asking you. [He's still pretty pissed but...] I tried. That's the least you could do for me here. Machias fired the warning shots and nailed Allen's shoulder but...what about the rest?

[brooches]

Everyone calm down!

[ She knows Luke and definitely knows Frankenstein so she'll put her two cents into it. ]

If he's going to play coy, then pestering him won't invoke an answer. He'll take his answers to the grave, I assume...

[breakshot]

[ Yeah, he's not outright glaring but he's looking pretty intense. ]

At least tell me why.

[booklore]

No.

[breakshot]

You...

[ holy shit son he feels bad about allen but do not set him off. ]

You son of a-- Why did you even need to go that far?! There was nothing stopping you from speaking up!

[tevinteriscoming]

No, you've made that very clear.

[booklore]

At least that's one other thing that was obvious. [ Pause. ]

Come to think of it, you were trying pretty hard too. It's a little cruel if I don't give you something too. So, what do you want to know?

[unasking]

[NOW ENTIRELY SEPARATE FROM THE LUKE FIASCO:]

I don't quite forgive you for what you did to Machias.

[Honestly.

But-]

I can't imagine it being easy for you, knowing what you did to someone whose favorite foods you had memorized.

I hope you'll be able to eat them with him again someday.

[booklore]

[ He's about to say something—then he stops himself. Then he smiles, perhaps a bit more genuinely than before. ]

You can't bring back the dead, you know. Even if you want to, it's nothing something you should try.

[allout]

[ honestly, minako isn't too surprised. the results were the results, and it wouldn't be the first time she's seen a betrayal end in the loss of a life.

but she's curious. ]

You don't look like you have regrets. Either that, or you've got a pretty good poker face.

[booklore]

I wonder which one it is? [ a.k.a. not telling. ]

[muties]

Why you gotta be so rude? Just, like. Tell us why you did the thing and don't be a shit about it. Nothin' hard about it.

[booklore]

It's not as exciting a story as you guys might think.

[missmaladroite]

Weren't you two friends?

[Lavi's done nothing but be a douche all over this post, but this is something Marinette can't really understand]

[booklore]

A Bookman has no friends.
