Re: RESULTS

[tacklefordwhimsy]

[By the time the results are announced, Shelley isn't crying anymore. SHe has resigned.

Instead, she stands up and just goes towards the AI with a surprising amount of fortitude]

...I think by now there's nothing left to say. Just...survive and really fight...whatever you get offered.

Let's get done with it, Alice. I have to pay for what I did.

[thanatosincarnate]

... One moment.

[tacklefordwhimsy]

...

[It takes her a moment to gather enough resolve to actually look at Arumat]

...yes?

[toprotecttheworld]

You...you were supposed to catch a dragon, Shelley! You spent all week with me in the medbay, and now what?! When...when did you decide to do this?!

[tacklefordwhimsy]

Thursday, after I escorted you to your room.

[In other words, three hours before the murder]

[breakshot]

Shelley...

[ damn it, murder is murder but he still feels bad for this. ]

Are you sure about this?

[tacklefordwhimsy]

I'm sure. It's only fair, isn't it? I'm also expecting Fumi to have...a few words of her own...once I arrive to wherever she is...

[antietam]

... Bye, Shelley. Maybe you can send some letters to let us know how you are.

[tacklefordwhimsy]

...the least I should do is at least try to inform you all of what's going on the other side, I think.

[You're bound to receive some]

With some luck they won't be too hard to read.

[bloodbiter]

...I'm sorry about your sister.

[a breath]

And I will miss you.

[tacklefordwhimsy]

I will miss you too, Adelina.

[You truly were a good friend]

I mean it: survive.

[missmaladroite]

You threw away everything for a fake phone call! It was never going to work! You lied!

[yeah guess who still mad]

[tacklefordwhimsy]

[So sorry. Looks like you'll never tell hilarious tales of Adrien's failures]

...yeah...I did. This was a mistake since the moment I decided to go ahead with it.

[todorable]

Hey, Shelley. I don't know your sister. But as a younger sibling, if one of my brothers killed for me? ...I'd be flattered, if nothing else.

[tacklefordwhimsy]

I don't know if that's comforting or worrying.

[...]

...I guess it's neither. Be good, Todomatsu, okay?

[She doesn't really deserve to call you Totty, she guesses]

[chiseler]

Hey. [He still has her phone (and if possible he might keep it just to fiddle around with it) but that's not why he's approaching her now. It's with something else in mind.]

...saw the letters in your room. You still want those delivered? [He...looks oddly serious about that, too, despite everything.]

[tacklefordwhimsy]

Please do it.

[There's a very, very slight smile there. The manipulative asshole Luke seemed to be at first ended being much more tolerable than Shelley ever expected, hah]

...I never thought I'd think of you as a friend, but I did. Good luck, Luke.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

... Erin Winters. I won't forget.

[and, because he has to say something else:]

I was-- I was really glad we were friends.

[muties]

Man, this sucks. But... I'm sorry. [ u killed a girl but ] And I hope your sister will be ok. Be good in death, I guess?

[bloodteller]

[ yuno doesn't... usually say anything during these moments. but something makes her feel compelled to speak up, still. ]

Just so you know, the person in the pink rabbit costume. [ ... it was her. it's unsaid, but implied. ]

[baptizer]

I'm sorry, Shelley. I hope you're reunited with her, you know.

[ She truly means it. ]

[tevinteriscoming]

Shelley...

[He looks conflicted for a second about what to say, but he seems to decide on saying it. Shelley was a sweet person, at least, and he'd said they'd be friends.]

It isn't your fault. I doubt there's a person here who could say for certain they'd be able to resist when they try to target us directly. I'm only sorry it was you this time.

[antagonize]

Not gonna say what you did was justified. That would be a goddamn lie.

[But... killing for someone who's family is kind of...

He pauses.]

I'm sure one of the bleeding hearts here will try to find your sister. They might even succeed. That would be one hell of an achievement, wouldn't it?

[Pun intended? Or not. But this is as nice as he's going to be. Fuck this place.]

[socloverit]

You should've been able to talk to your sister again.

[There are tears in Clover's eyes and they aren't entirely for Shelley, aren't entirely for herself.]

And...you weren't wrong. You weren't wrong to want to do this. She's your sister, so of course...




[BUT AGAIN THERE ARE BETTER PEOPLE WITH BETTER MORAL CODES/SUBTLETY ABOUT HOW ACCEPTABLE THEY THINK MURDER IS WE COULD BE LISTENING TO]

[allout]

[ it's strange - she's at a crossroads. she cares enough about shelley to not have voted for her, but killing someone... it's not something that she can forgive so easily.

it's why she'll address her, but has trouble looking her in the eye. ]

...Bye. [ a pause. ] Good luck, I guess.
