Night 8 - Sakyou

[selfsufficiency]

[In all the confusion, they didn't get to talk before the trial like she was hoping to.

But that's fine, she supposes - as a whole, the group been more or less on the same page during that trial... Though they really only figured out a small portion of what had happened the night before.

Rhys said some things that have got her wondering, though, so at some point between the execution and curfew, she'll catch up to Sakyou and grab his sleeve to get his attention.]

We weren't able to do it before, so let's talk now.

I have dibs on Rhys!

[Alice points a finger at Sakyou, putting one hand on her hip.]

If we find him, I get to kill him. He was mine twice and he got away both times. I'm not letting it happen a third time.

[modissty]

[Wow, Alice!! Don't point at him menacingly!]

I have no intention of killing him before any of you who he's personally slighted.

[selfsufficiency]

That's fine, then.

[And just like that, she relaxes and picks up the conversation where they left off. As long as he doesn't get in her way, it's.. fine...]

If we can, I'd prefer to find the Overseer. That'd solve all our problems, and the person in charge is the one we really want to make suffer, right?

[modissty]

I'm certain some people would still want to see the staff suffer. After all, it sounds like most of them are the ones doing the actual dirty work here... But with the Overseer presumably living up to their name, there will likely be quite a line for them.

[Which Sakyou also won't get involved with because he's not about to fight about of bloodthirsty monkeys for the first dibs okay.]

[selfsufficiency]

I wouldn't be opposed to making the staff suffer, too, but if it's a choice between them and the Overseer...

[And it very well might end up that way - there's only so much time they'll have, if people keep dying at the rate they have been. Focusing too much energy on the regular staff members could come back to bite them.]

Only time will tell how it works out, huh?

[modissty]

Indeed...

[A SIGH. Tough shit, this whole catching killers thing... while everyone else is running around KILLING OTHER PEOPLE, ALICE.]

—Regardless, if you wished to speak about potential patterns of thought, I'm afraid I wasn't able to give that much of my attention today.

[selfsufficiency]

[Alice sighs.]

That's disappointing, but understandable.

[She wasn't able to give it a lot of her attention, either, and that's probably the only reason she's not getting mad at him.]

That idiot Rhys really made a mess of things, didn't he?

[modissty]

[The morons that forget to do shit together stand strongly together... Or something like that. Sakyou just sighs though, nodding a little.]

Well, he did say that it was his aim. Distracting everyone and keeping the trial from moving anywhere meaningful... It was a relatively clever ploy.

[He's pretty surprised it came from Rhys "mcbarfs all day" Rhysson.]

[selfsufficiency]

At least this time he probably won't be interrupting us.

["Probably" because he's not dEAD YET he could still show up. But if that happens he's a dead man, so maybe he won't.]
