week 1; sunday post execution

[slobjection]

[ weeps profusely. anyway. phoenix's a little more together by this point, but when he seeks galo out his expression is inscrutable. ]

How's the hand?

[burningrescue]

[I know how bad you fucked up, you fool!!

Anyway, holding up the hand, which to be clear is wrapped up in a makeshirt shirt bandage and splinted. He's icing it.]

It hurts, but it's okay.

[slobjection]

[ i should have just pretended it was phoenix being wily. that's a relief, though!! ]

You decided to switch up your voting tactics, hm?

[burningrescue]

Hmm.

[He doesn't feel like Phoenix is giving him a compliment.]

I got kind of worried. I told a few people about how Lio can turn into a dragon.

[slobjection]

[ he's not mad he's just disappointed!!! ]

No one was suspecting him, though.

[burningrescue]

I know, I know, but no one was suspecting anyone. I was...really surprised so many people voted for Asch. It was obvious it wasn't him, wasn't it?

[Frowning, squinting at Phoenix.]

Who'd you vote for?

[slobjection]

..... It was obvious.

[ his inscrutable expression clears for a little, and it's pretty upsetti. ]

[ then it's back to the usual nonsense. ]

Pop quiz, Galo. Do you know what happens when you answer all questions correctly?

[burningrescue]

Uh. No. I never fill those out. Well, last week I filled it out as Master Blue can eat my ass, but this week I'm trying to get along with the girls.

[So. That's a no.]

[slobjection]

[ normally he would lead galo on for another like 20 comments but he hurt his fingie so phoenix will be like, 3% more direct. ]

You might want to consider it. You get presents from Master Blue for guessing correctly.

[burningrescue]

[Good call, because he would have lost interest in this 5 comments in.]

Well. Lio thinks we should vote now, and I guess he's got a point, so I'll give it a try.

[Thinking about it for a second.]

Wait! That means the killer could have voted and gotten a prize, right?

[slobjection]

Good. [ gallon makes being a wily cryptic vague mentor so hard. ]

And lost a finger in the process, sure.

[burningrescue]

[Scowling.]

I'm not the killer, and I doubt Anya is, either.

[slobjection]

[ galo..... please......... he's just making fun of your suggestion ]

Is that what you think I was trying to say?

[burningrescue]

I dunno. You talk in riddles, man. I'm not a professional riddle solver, or a professional detective, but everybody wants me to do those things.

I am trying to figure out who did it, though. Because I won't let a weredragon go around eating people's heads off.

[slobjection]

We're all professional detectives now.

[ and murder riddle solvers. ]

What do you intend to do if you find out...?

[burningrescue]

Who the killer was.

[God. Keep up, Phoenix.]

[slobjection]

And then?

[ wao. ]

[burningrescue]

And then I stop them from killing again.

[slobjection]

By killing them first?

[burningrescue]

[He looks shocked.]

Of course not. I'm not a killer. We might have to fight, but preferably we could get some gear from the girls to help. They wanna stop these guys, too.

[slobjection]

I don't think any one of us are qualified to fight actual monsters. [ asch tried and look what happened to him. ] But maybe there is something they can do.
