Mm. That does confirm my theory though - someone else mentioned being so cold in the place they chose to sleep, that they were unable to get warm no matter what they did. Combined with the burnt food, I wondered if a fire might have been the cause of Eleanor's death.
[ ...tch. ] How gauche, to do that to Envy's home, after everything he went through this week.
We could always abstain from voting. Though - I do wonder, with each week that passes, if we get closer to having that sort of solution in place. How many people will act selfishly against the will of a group? There's no way to tell.
[ though they do keep voting off the assholes. then again, most of the people left are still assholes, so. here we are. ]
No, we certainly can't. It's the same dilemma as when we voted for HK-47 - couldn't stand the iron puppet, but at least it was forthcoming about its intentions.
[ yeah he has no faith in the "don't vote" plan either. ]
...I know we will. We made some progress last week - we'll figure it out this week, too, I'm sure.
[...]
It's just very disheartening... a single victim is so close to having no victims at all! [she frowns] ...closer than we've been since all of this started. But it's also... I have a hard time imagining anyone who's still here actually wanting to hurt her.
[so. it's just gonna be Bad no matter what they find out, she thinks.]
Greed said it's important to think about motive. [ he frowns, remembering something. ] ... Earlier in the week, I know that I had mentioned I thought she might have been the one to curse Molly and White, but I'm not nearly so petty as to try and murder someone over something like that.
[ scapegoat me! no, ] I was wrong, anyhow, and found that out rather quickly after we chatted about it. I think I only mentioned my theory to one other person.
So why Eleanor? I wonder if perhaps because she wasn't much of a fighter - that someone saw it as easy.
[especially not when it's only a temporary annoyance! the power should wear off by the end of the week anyway.
god if you get scapegoated for this bc of gay drama i'll cry]
...most of our victims so far have been people who wouldn't put up much of a fight. Even Grell was in a state where she was less... aggressive, than she had been before. "Easy targets" seems to be the common factor here.

w4, friday
[she's actively searching the indulgence for him while she texts, looking very worried]
no subject
Door's open.
[ ?? ]
no subject
she still looks worried when she gets there, and she'll get right to it.]
I - heard from Yuri that you were at the house last night, and that when they went back to look today, there was smoke... you're okay, right?
no subject
That's sweet of you to worry, meimei. I'm alright - it's likely that the indulgence center protected those of us that were in the house, somehow.
no subject
anyway, she breathes out]
That's a relief.

no subject
[big yikes]
She didn't deserve that. And neither did he - I wish... [her brow furrows] ...it was only her this week. I wish no one had died at all.
[one is so close to zero. and yet...]
no subject
夜长梦多. [ a familiar phrase, perhaps; not an admonishment, but just a point. when things get tough, it becomes easy to dream of better things. ]
At least the numbers are coming down. Maybe next week, it'll be zero, ah?
no subject
he's definitely got a point there - and she gets it, really.]
That would be nice. [...] It would be really nice if we could make it out of here without anyone else dying.
[another pause, and then - ]
...well... aside from whoever is voted for, I suppose.
[people are going to want justice for eleanor, she's sure.]
no subject
[ though they do keep voting off the assholes. then again, most of the people left are still assholes, so. here we are. ]
no subject
[losing someone completely innocent based on like. a single vote? that would be awful.]
no subject
[ yeah he has no faith in the "don't vote" plan either. ]
no subject
[bad.]
...I guess - we'll just have to see what we can find out about what happened, tomorrow. And decide what to do from there.
no subject
[ sqx looks so sad. hrgh. ]
You... [ he is. the worst person for this. ] It'll be fine. We'll do the best we can.

Mn. I think so too. Despicable, isn't it?
no subject
Absolutely despicable.
