... Like that story, the one with the puppet and the kids being turned into donkeys? [ are we allowed to fourth wall her? otherwise i'll edit. ] Whoever came up with this probably just wanted some kind of cheap or easy labour, that's usually the reason for conning people and trapped them most of the time. Profit or labour.
[ #all my threads end up talking about capitalism. ]
... [ and then she kissed the killer. ] None of it's exactly fair. I don't think how much you want to live matters in the moment, if you're targeted. But, Viktor didn't seem particularly threatening.
[You are simply batting the balls I pitched to you, fourth walling extremely welcomed.
Though for Rosamund it's cause to go still. She's still got the shot glass and bottle in hand, facing the back of the shack.]
...Something like that. Yeah.
[Something indeed. She knocks back the whisky without the bubblegum this time. For Todomatsu to recognize her was one thing. Quite another to hear casual comparisons off the cuff. She's been wondering where she is for a while now. Is this within the borders of the realms of story, or has she been plucked from her pages and wedged into the cogs of reality?
If Shu knows of her friends as only stories, then the rest might too. She needs to be careful.]
No. No he didn't. As far as I could tell, he wouldn't hurt a fly.
[Unlike Eunhyuk. She'd misread him in so many ways. Twice a fool, two weeks in a row latching herself onto men who went mad in the middle of the night.]
It's not his fault. Theirs. They...if things had been different, none of this would have happened. We wouldn't have to fear them, or hate anyone. They're being led into doing these things by something none of us understand.
[ he just blinks at that reaction, but-- doesn't press it, given how she freezes so quickly.
it's something though. but everyone has secrets, and things they don't want to share or talk about. he's not particularly open, so he understands that. ]
The only people we can really blame here is Nut & Bolt, and whatever's going on with the ship. Doesn't really give you someone to pin your ire on, because it's hard to be mad at anyone wrapped up in this.
That you don't blame them for what's happened. I'm not...part of me still wants to. Even if it breaks my heart to hear it from someone else. Is that strange?
Where I’m from it’s against the law to kill someone. I don’t know about other places, whether or not that’s the same there? But it means talking about it challenges a lot of people’s morals and perceptions.
Generally, killing people is wrong. And if you’ve lost someone you cared about you want someone to blame. [ his eyes shift to look at her. ] But it’s not easy when you know they’re probably not in control of their actions. I can’t blame them for not being able to wrestle back control from something determined to use them, and I can’t blame people for being mad about it either.
