Sure. A whole cabin full of doors, sounds good.

Not planning to answer the first question?

[madaboutit]

Hadn't, no

But she's not like you in all the ways that only show just how much she is.

[cactusy]

[... Huh.]

That's a riddle I don't get.

[madaboutit]

It's not a riddle

It's a hint

That's what you asked for

[Why is this still hard to understand?]

[cactusy]

You really don't want to say it outright, huh.

[madaboutit]

You didn't ask me too.

You asked for a hint

You got said hint

Why would I just say that shit?

[cactusy]

I don't know, because I don't know what that shit is.

I won't be offended. But whatever. If you'd rather keep your thoughts on her to yourself, that's fine.

[madaboutit]

I've met her once

Do you want the thoughts that that interaction left me with?

Or would you rather wait until I have something more substantive to work off of?

[cactusy]

Buddy, I'm not looking for a personality analysis. I started out just making conversation, and then you said some cryptic stuff that I thought was interesting. That's all.

after Norton's post

[riseunparalleled]

Hello, my name's Xie Lian. You're Sameen Shaw, right? [Even after a couple of years, he's still a little uncertain when it comes to sending messages directly.]

[cactusy]

Yeah. You planning on taking point on this Envy thing?

[riseunparalleled]

I think it would probably be best for everyone to keep Envy in Zero for the full seven days. Which I believe brings us to when wardens are assigned.

[He sighs, rubbing the bandage around his neck.]

Zero isn’t a ‘punishment’, not for someone like Envy, but it’s somewhere he can be contained and watched without extra effort. From what I saw… I don’t think Envy will try anything at the moment, but that’s just what I know of him and so I wouldn’t expect anyone else to rely on that.

Norton’s not wrong, and all the other people Envy has wronged also deserve more… but immediate action isn’t always the best. I doubt Envy will move much, but if I’m wrong, Zero takes away that chance.

It can also give other people time to, ah, consider what they want.

[cactusy]

I get that I'm the outlier here, but I care more about preventing this from happening again than I do figuring out how to make him regret or learn from it. That's his warden's job. So what are we gonna do to keep him contained when he gets out of Zero?

[riseunparalleled]

That depends on what you mean by contained.

He couldn’t have done this alone. He can’t attack anyone without going insubstantial.

[cactusy]

Oh, he had Johann do all his killing for him. You think he could have done the, uh... magic part on his own?

[riseunparalleled]

From what he's told me, Alchemy requires sacrifice. What I know about Alchemy on his world is through him, so there could be much I don't know, but I think he truly believes that.

[cactusy]

Yeah, that's where Johann came in.

[riseunparalleled]

Mm. So part of 'containment' depends on who will listen to him.

[malicieux]

{ As much as Lestat does not want to do this, he still shows up, punctual and hoping Shaw decides that one lesson is, in fact, enough. Though he also suspects that she's stubborn enough to continue them if she knows he finds them irritating, so he thinks that the best course of action is to act as though he isn't bothered by them.

When he sees her, he puts on a polite smile. }

Bonsoir.

thursday the 17th

[themostfun]

[ First, a series of pictures:

-the gun safe
-Root's assortment of safe-cracking tools (nothing dangerous, mostly just basic things tbh)
-the safe, with the door now slightly open
-Root making an exaggerated look of surprise

Then, a message: ]

you're spoiling me!

[cactusy]

You like what you see?

[Surely the handcuffs and the taser are a decent consolation prize.]

[themostfun]

yes! I love it

We should try them out tonight :)

[cactusy]

We should get a warden monitoring his communications.

[cactusy]

Hey. Salut or whatever.

[Shaw, for her part, is making no effort to hide the fact that she's less than thrilled to be here - but she is here, and she's even come prepared with a notebook and pen.]

So how are we gonna do this?

[cactusy]

You might have to catch me first.

[What do you think the taser's for, Root?]
