[NO HIS SECRET THAT ALL THE DEAD KNOW ABOUT....]

That's still a secret. Ask me something else.

[ohthehumanities]

Okay, how do you know what needs to be kept secret? Are the Reapers monitoring your communication?

[This is the same question]

[foxicide]

[THIS IS THE SAME QUESTION]

I know because I can read. And I have no idea about the Reapers. I haven't spoken to them since I died.

[ohthehumanities]

So it's something else, then. [Sighs. ALSO WAIT BACKTRACK--] You still haven't explained that! What do you mean we were never dead?

[foxicide]

[THIS ISN'T BACKTRACKING THIS IS AN ENTIRELY NEW SUBJECT]

I thought it was pretty clear? That's why no one remembers how we died.

Of course, our side is dead from being murdered, but you guys are still alive.

[ohthehumanities]

[IT'S BACKTRACKING BACK TO AN OLD CONVERSATION LISTEN]

But, I mean--how did you figure that out? Did you get one of those odd coded messages?

[foxicide]

I can't say. But it wasn't from one of those missions, no.

[his expression tightens a little at the mention of them actually, though he looks away]

[ohthehumanities]

Right... Shenhe mentioned you had those too.

[Though he frowns.]

But... I wonder why? I'd assumed they were just an extra way to get points.

[foxicide]

They are. We can't just lay back and let you all do the work, you know.

[ohthehumanities]

Wait, you're earning points too? [Hunh. He looks thoughtful.] So it is what Nahida meant... that's why we need to keep using our team powers, right?

[foxicide]

You just love asking questions that would be dangerous for me to answer, huh. It's like you're trying to get me into trouble.

[ohthehumanities]

You're enough trouble all on your own, you don't need me for that.

[LISTEN HE'S JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE THEY CAN SAVE YOUR STUPID CRAZY TSUN ASS]

[foxicide]

[SAY THAT OUT LOUD COWARD]

Enough about me. Tell me what you've been doing.

[ohthehumanities]

[Maybe he will!!!]

I thought you all could see us? [Surely they weren't, like, strangely filtered out of private conversations]

[foxicide]

Only when you're out in public or trapped in the McDonalds. We don't see special missions or erasure, or how much you drink back in your warehouse.

[maybe if u let me into filters then i would be able to see.....]

[ohthehumanities]

[ Okay I'll let you in so you can see Kaveh making out with (train driving by noises)

For the record this is a joke

Also for a second I thought this meant executions and I was like THAT'S WILD]

Ugh, if only. [Why does he say that like he doesn't have multiple bottles of wine in his fridge right now] I don't know what you want me to say, really. Since Shenhe died, I've just been trying to look out for Ylfa and Haru.

[foxicide]

[LET ME INNNNN LET ME IN LET ME INNNNNN

he perks up at that, speaking of ylfa and haru....]

Would you have let them erase you?

[he's curious......]

[ohthehumanities]

[Should've put out a hit on me (pensive)

Anyway. It's more reflex than anything, the way Kaveh averts his gaze and tenses--he's grown too used to being scolded for his self-sacrificial tendencies, and for all that he's been through over the past 8 weeks, he is, in essence, back to where he started: Deflection and lies to make it seem like he's more okay than he actually is. But then he remembers who he's talking to, and, ironically, seems to relax a little bit.

There are people here that he loves dearly, but the fussing can be so oppressive sometimes. It's a bit of a relief, to be honest.]

Yes, I would have. That was the plan if they ended up in trouble at trial. [And also the only reason he never volunteered, aside from not wanting to put Nahida and Shu at risk of team wiping. He figured he could do more good taking the fall for them in an execution, if he had to.]

[foxicide]

[STOP LOOK I WOULD HAVE BEEN KNIFEBLOCKED BY 5000 PEOPLE

Rang watches Kaveh with interest, because no matter how many people are out there trying to blorbofy him, there is still a part of him that's drawn to pain, conflict, and the difficulties that humans face. it's like kaveh expects -- not a single part of him wants to comfort or scold kaveh for this line of thinking, instead, he's a little impressed?]

...That would have been interesting to see. But I wonder if the others would have voted for you.

[He'd seen how they reacted when kyoko had been the culprit. would they have turned their face away from kaveh just to make themselves feel better? ignored what he was trying to do while criticizing his decision?]

[ohthehumanities]

[Tch... punches the ground]

If they were willing to vote for Nahida, then they would've been willing to vote for me. [It feels so horribly selfish to be upset about that, because Nahida was guilty, and he knew it. But the way things played out still hurts, even though he knows it did, ultimately, keep Ylfa and Haru safe a little longer.] They might've hesitated for Shu's sake, but ultimately, they can't look away from seeking justice--nor should they. The only outlier was... Kyoko.

[Rang does not get to know what Kaveh's emotions are regarding that whole situation :smiling_face_with_tear:

Kaveh genuinely seems to believe this, though. It's simply the way his mind works--if they'd feel bad voting for him when evidence made him look guilty, it's less to do with him and more to do with the fact that they're kind people who don't like hurting each other. Kyoko was the option that would hurt the least amount of people--it was pure "luck" that she turned out to be guilty. If Wenzhou had still been alive, Kaveh doesn't think anyone would've felt any worse voting for him over anybody else.]

[foxicide]

[right, kyoko.]

Did you know that Wolfwood said the same thing? That he went to sleep without any plans to erase anyone that night, and yet still woke up.

[he doesn't think kyoko was lying about not wanting to kill, but her speech really did make it seem as if wolfwood had]

[ohthehumanities]

[He did not know that.]

Really?

[Oh... well. Great!!! That makes things even more complicated!!!!!]

[foxicide]

Yup.

[rang is happy to help :3c]

I did think Wolfwood attacked her first, since he killed Shen Qingqiu, but... I guess not.

[he shrugs. he doesn't think wolfwood would lie, and their reunion was incredibly awkward and tense as rang watched them from like 10 feet away,]

[ohthehumanities]

[STOP HE DIDN'T NEED THIS!!!!

BUT HE LOOKS SURPRISED AGAIN AT THIS ABRUPT DOXXING]

He did?

[foxicide]

[it's rang's turn to really go teehee :3c for real]

That's right, I forgot that he got away with it.

[rang as walking spoilers]

Are you really that surprised though?
