WE ALL SEEK JUSTICE AND NOBODY IS OKAY

[Another murder, another investigation, another trial, another execution. Unlike last time, it wasn't self-defense, and although they caught him, she's pretty sure nobody is happy. It was sentencing someone to death, after all.

Knowing that, Dlanor writes something on the back of profiles she took from the bulletin board, passing them under the doors. When in a hurry, use what you have, and those profiles will be back sooner or later, anyway]


Please come to the train station. Let's spend some time in each other's company, for our sake


[If you decide to come, you'll find whoever wrote that note has been working hard to make things somewhat nice. There's a few...whatever we all have been using as cups all this time...filled with milk -- evaporated milk with some water, it seems. Tastes almost like normal milk. Dlanor also brought a few twigs and a small piece of log from the sawmull, and seems to be currently trying to make a fire. Some warmth should be nice, right?

Come on, everyone, let's sit around this bunch of wood and strengthten our bonds]

Strolls in 4.20 hours late with coffee

[Angus is here. Angus is translucent and kind of teal-ish, but he's here. He's had a very long day despite not being in the trial and being dead before morning started.]

Uh... Hey. How's it going?

[Small talk is good! Although he should probably do a lot more than just pretend this is just one of those parties without Gregg being his anchor. Thinking of his boyfriend pains him even more than dying. Maybe he can look and seem calm long enough before he starts screaming and haunting these woods or something.]

Funny how life works out.

[there is nothing funny about this]

[... Oh hey

It's you.]


... Angus.

I wanted to apologize to you.
patternfinders: (kill bill siren)

[personal profile] patternfinders 2018-04-22 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
[small, stoic nod] Shoot. [HAHA OKAY MAYBE BAD PHRASING]

I didn't quite make out what you were saying back in the bar.
onlyexplainit: (Between science and superstition)

[personal profile] onlyexplainit 2018-04-22 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
I wanted to explain to you that it wasn't personal, and that I was only doing it because I didn't want all those planets destroyed.

I won't ask you to forgive me, but I wanted you to know the whole story.
patternfinders: (adjust glasses/facepaw)

...Ah. [The motive, he guesses. He didn't believe it out of selfishness and skepticism, though if it were something that happened, he'd definitely feel even worse.]

Like the Trolley System. I understand, now.

[His blank expression never changes, even when he's genuinely curious about something.]

How did you know I was asthmatic? I never got to see that trial.

[personal profile] onlyexplainit 2018-04-22 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly like the Trolley Problem

[He looks just the tiniest bit sheepish as he continues.]

I was actually unaware of your asthma. I simply smoked a lot of cigarettes while I was waiting for someone to enter the bar.
patternfinders: (not very expressive are we?)

[personal profile] patternfinders 2018-04-22 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
It's funny, Mae, our friends, and I talked about the Trolley Problem the last time we almost died from a cult.

[It's...a long story, but hey they're ghosts now! And dead men are bound to tell some tales.]

Huh. That was oddly effective and a coincidence then.
onlyexplainit: (Between light and shadow)

[personal profile] onlyexplainit 2018-04-22 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
A cult, huh?

[What do you mean he loves hearing about that.]

I suppose this entire scenario is a strange coincidence.
maedae: (so empty it stays)

[personal profile] maedae 2018-04-22 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
Angus!!

[Hi buddy, you're the very first person that Mae is going to talk to before anyone else when she finally shows up late to the party. Seeing him is a relief, in the sense that this means Cheryl gets to escape an ass-kicking, but...

... but he's still dead. This is not the reunion Mae wanted to have, and as such, she looks like she's dangerously close to crying again.]


Dude, I am so, so sorry... none of this should have happened, I should have... I don't know, gone with you, or--something...
patternfinders: (tired)

[personal profile] patternfinders 2018-04-22 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
Mae, this is in no way your fault...! There- there's nothing anyone could've done, I-- [There's a sharp wheeze- beginnings of a slight panic/asthma attack perhaps?]

If anything, it's all on me. No one in their right mind heads off alone, and--

[Angus, the somewhat smart and responsible one, is sort of short-circuiting at the moment. Words are hard and this cursed town threw off his whole view and it's...going to take some time to adjust.

Well, at least one of them has all the time they need.]


--I'm sorry I died.
maedae: (that's how they stay)

[personal profile] maedae 2018-04-22 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh--oh gosh, big guy, it's okay, don't panic. You don't have to apologize for something like that, it's not your fault.

[Can ghosts die of an asthma attack? Let's not found out, it's already been a stressful day for us today...]
patternfinders: (tired)

[personal profile] patternfinders 2018-04-22 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
Someone's got to. [There is a definite unease to his posture saying otherwise.]

I admit, it feels a bit selfish to stay calm when others worry. I should've done more before things happened.
patternfinders: (im driving)

[personal profile] patternfinders 2018-04-22 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
That's...true. [No more ghost skepticism for now] I think I've still got my senses intact, and could probably scout the area more.

I could give a few survival tips, like making fire and such. Would that be alright?
whohastimefortears: (Ah...)

[personal profile] whohastimefortears 2018-04-22 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh boy. Another person she's been worried about running into tonight. Yet weirdly she does really want to see him. Even seeing him as a ghost feels better than when she found his body.]

Angus... I'm sorry...
patternfinders: (not very expressive are we?)

[personal profile] patternfinders 2018-04-22 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
There's nothing to be sorry for, Cheryl. [There was an attempt for a comforting smile and an awkward pat on her shoulder.]

It's not your fault, there was nothing anyone could've done.
whohastimefortears: (heh)

[personal profile] whohastimefortears 2018-04-22 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[His hand goes through her shoulder. Cool.]

...Still don't believe in ghosts now?

[She can't help herself.]
junosteel: (waiting on the planet to turn to me)

[personal profile] junosteel 2018-04-22 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
...Hey, big guy.

[Juno didn't really get the chance to talk to him very much, but...he came off as a very gentle person. Er, bear.

Want some dry humor? Here you go.]


How's death treating you?
patternfinders: (:3)

[personal profile] patternfinders 2018-04-22 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
Hey yourself. [Even as a ghost, he's still approachable and friendly.]

Could be better. Death's now a walk in the park, but I wouldn't recommend it.
junosteel: (interesting)

[personal profile] junosteel 2018-04-22 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh. I mean, it's not like you're really dead, you're still--

[He gets the sense that maybe he should quit while he's ahead.]

...Nevermind. Have you talked to Mae yet? She looks like she could use some cheering up.
