who ya gonna call? [night 4]

[rangerslayer]

[ ...So that happened, and it was bad. For everyone? For everyone. There's nothing much to do with all of this, nothing except maybe try and get some sleep. Or, wander around the city like an insomniac. What much do you do after watching a man be burned at the stake?

In any case. The night life goes on. And McDonald's certainly does not. ]

rip sorry this took so long to reply to

You're not holding your breath?

[ She nods, looking back over the ocean. ]

I guess with how everyone here has supposedly done some bad things... I guess it's hard to think that no one'll kill each other. It just depends on what kind of phone message triggers a certain reaction out of someone... I guess.

Shhh take as long as you neeeed

[rangerslayer]

Everyone... [ She pauses for a moment. ] You believe what they said about that?

[conceivesfrenzy]

You don't think that some have done some nasty things? I mean, Pyro told me about how they burned down a town or something. That's probably tame compared to some of the others.

I think it's naive to think that no one here has done anything wrong. No sense in getting killed trying to trust everyone.

[rangerslayer]

...What about you?

[ There's nothing accusatory. It's simply a question. ]

The offer of living here...making a new life. Is that something that interests you, Alice?

[ ...Yeah. Yeah, she definitely heard. ]

[conceivesfrenzy]

Oh. You heard that, then.

[ Rats. ]

I mean, it's certainly appealing. You wouldn't want to ditch your old issues and stake a new claim somewhere else?

[ Why yes, she's going to keep deflecting for as long as she can. ]

[rangerslayer]

Yeah, if I didn't have responsibilities to the ones I'd leave behind.

[ But- ]

But that's not the real problem here... All this? The...mockery of a trial? Would you really take that too?
