Well, they have different rules than we do, so it could be different...

But we'll find out soon enough.

[aubins]

Yeah. They know more overall, from what I can tell, but are more restricted in what they can share.

[ balance...


... he's gonna grab one of those doughnuts, btw. ]

I'm... surprised they revived at all, really.

[dotcom]

I guess they can't die here, but...

[ hm ]

Who knows if there's a limit to that?

[aubins]

Easily, at least.

[ ... ]

So we need to know what happened, what they were doing because we are just assuming it's linked to them looking into the usual weekly disappearances, and... well. How many times they can get away with getting that injured and not staying dead.

[dotcom]

Mm.

... I'm not sure if we'll get an answer for the last one. Lust didn't even seem certain if they'd revive or not.

[aubins]

Lust was... really upset at the time. Wrath seemed bit more convinced but... [ hm. ] That could just be their stubbornness shining through.

[ ... ]

If they weren't sure, that was one hell of a way to test the theory out.

[dotcom]

... well, we'll find out.

[ he sighs. ]

Of course this would happen at the end of the week.

[aubins]

I don't think there's a good time for this to happen at any point, really. Imagine this happening just after we finish up executions on a Sunday.

[dotcom]

No. But the weekends are already pretty hectic.

[aubins]

And they seem to spread through Monday and Tuesday, and start on Thursday and Friday. Such is the way here.

[ ... ]

We'll deal.

[dotcom]

We have been, I guess.

I know we always say we have to be prepared for whatever, but we're always taken by surprise each time.

[ he sounds vaguely amused. ]

[aubins]

If we managed to predict exactly what was going to happen, I'd be amazed. Maybe just knowing something is going to go incredibly wrong, normally around Thursday, is half the battle.

[ ... ]

Even if we don't know when it'll stop.

[dotcom]

No, we still don't really know how much longer this is going to take. I think since we don't know how much everyone is indulging...

[aubins]

We don't know what the upper limit for indulging is either. I mean, I don't feel like I've been skimping, but I know the avatars have said some people have been doing the bare minimum.

[aubins]

i’m assuming you got an ability from that sculpting mess we dealt with the other day?

[dotcom]

Yeah.
Want to find out if we got the same one?

[aubins]

That’s the idea. I’m assuming no, but you can never be sure.

[dotcom]

I can change a feature of myself.

[aubins]

you could just give me the title and no descriptor and that would’ve done it, sasazuka.

[dotcom]

I'm not stupid enough to use a power that other people share in a murder.

[aubins]

but for narrowing it down in terms of this investigation? it’d be helpful.

just a single feature, or a whole body thing?

[dotcom]

Just one.
It's called Doctors Hate Her, so just keep an eye out for anyone who has that.
It really only seems like it'd be useful in covering up a kill.

[aubins]

like hiding a wound?

interesting. we don’t have the same power, for the record.

[dotcom]

I'll find out how it can be used.

Alright.

[dotcom]

Mm. The problem is mostly just not knowing that they consider the bare minimum.
