Week 4, Wednesday before shenanigans happen

[misstrust]

[ Dorothy probably shouldn't be running ("running") all over the place on crutches, but you know what, you can't stop her. She's looking for someone and--

Aha. ]

Izumo! Might I have a moment?

[sacredchants]

[ haha...guess who else is also limping along or more like favoring one side of her than the other with a bandage on the right side of her face? this girl. crutches might have been suggested to her by someone but that someone isn't here, so she's a free woman. either way—

she'll turn to meet dorothy with a slight pause. ]

Sure...you can.

[misstrust]

[ ... Oh, dear. ]

Would you like to sit down, actually?

[sacredchants]

[ she's fine. 99.9% better than dorothy. ]

Sounds fine, especially if it's going to be a bit.

[ and to somewhere where there's a bench or the like? who knows where they are but—! seating. ]

[misstrust]

[ Hopefully Izumo beat something up in return. ]

I'll try not to let it be. [ But. Seating!! Wherever they are, Dorothy props the crutches beside her and stretches one arm carefully over her head. And then-- ]

I'm also a Fox.

[sacredchants]

[ she. hmm.... she did something.

but as soon as dorothy reveals herself to be a fox, there's only a mild look of surprise on her face. if only because for the briefest moments she clicks her tongue first before letting it go. don't comment about it; it might be best if she doesn't. ]

Thought that might be the case. [ she leans back a bit and crosses her arms. ] So, what do you want to do now? How much do you know about what's going around here?

[misstrust]

Goodness, was it that obvious?

[ Dorothy laughs, slowly shaking her head before she lets solemnity take over again. ]

I know that there needs to be two murders done by our Faction members in order to bring back the Foxes who were killed. I also know that we need one more to complete that task. And that Fox is going to be in trouble if someone decides they want to target a Leader this week, because we've lost quite a few among our number.

Week 5, Monday

[misstrust]

All right, Izumo!

[ Incoming lady on crutches-- ]

I've found the most amazing baths and you will be joining me!

[sacredchants]

[ she. she really just come at her like this...? but uh. ]

Baths?

[ she was already exploring but...!! ]

[misstrust]

Baths! It's about time we girls treated ourselves to a little more luxury!

I HATE DW SO MUCH..????

[sacredchants]

Baths?

[ slow blinks. ]

Do they have some sort of special bath here?

[misstrust]

Several, actually. I think we ought to be able to try a new one every day!

[ Dorothy's so happy. ]

[sacredchants]

Seven...baths...?

Like what we have in our rooms or something more extravagant?

[ izumo is. Interested. Very Interested. ]

Week 5, Sunday

[sacredchants]

[ i have no idea how izumo can "run" into dorothy but maybe she lags behind after the execution but either way, izumo will be wanting to flag down dorothy down for a little chitchat. ]

Dorothy, if I may have a word.

[misstrust]

[ Let these ladies rest-- but Dorothy pauses, turning her way. ]

Of course.

[sacredchants]

[ these ladies will never get rest because there's no rest for fox, apparently. ]

You still talk to Alphinaud a bit, right?

[misstrust]

I do, yes.

[ She tilts her head, slowly, carefully. ]

Why?

[sacredchants]

[ hmm.

she?? just...hmm. ]

Is he fine whenever he speaks with you? [ actually she hates beating around the bush so— ] I told him about my idea of offering myself as a volunteer for the other team.

[misstrust]

...

[ Dorothy did not need this headache but it's here now, so sure. ]

I... imagine that did not make him feel very agreeable.

Week 6, Saturday

[sacredchants]

[ talk about having complicated feelings? she's glad because they did what they needed to do and yet upset because of every other reason that's out there. obviously.

still, izumo is a good girl doing her best and even if dorothy told everyone she has no obligation to explain, there was one thing she said she would if she was caught, right? ]

...will you explain yourself now?

[misstrust]

Which part, precisely?

[ Dorothy lifts an eyebrow. ]

[sacredchants]

The part why you wouldn't have confessed like Jeanne did? About how you don't have to be spared?

[ after all, they found her for all the wrong reasons. ]

[misstrust]

I don't have to be spared. When you take a life, you take on a certain responsibility.

Even if they didn't solve any of it... I still killed someone. I was discovered. And now, I'll take responsibility.

If people who were convicted but were innocent weren't spared, why should I be?

[sacredchants]

If that's how you feel, then I can't for thinking that way.

But isn't it ironic, though, that of the people who have been put for "removal" it's only the innocent people that have died? Aside from Shima, anyway.

[ is it going to be 2/2 foxes dying during execution? it'd be funny...but also. ]

[misstrust]

Yes, ironic would be the word for it... I can't seem to grasp what the pattern seems to be, either, beyond that.
