Just curious, how many of those people looking into hunters were yellowjackets?
And what do they know about me. Since I'm very clearly a suspect.

[longlegs]

mel's the only one i was talking to. i should've fucking known she wasn't just asking
she knew about the bow and arrow and the blood power
i have someone back home with your power, i've seen how it works
i told her if it was you it'd be a fucking mess but i guess that didn't matter

[bloodflows]

Do you know how much about it she knew? I haven't told anyone the details but she seems to think I can do more with it than I can. I don't know if that's a misunderstanding or deliberate.

There's no certainty I'm not a wolf but I don't follow her logic. Targeting the friends of wolves, as a wolf. Targeting Misty who I didn't vote for - they're very centered on accusations protecting their own. I understand, though. It's a line of thinking you get in certain situations.

[aka cult ones but w/e he doesn't know enough to diagnose them]

[longlegs]

do you think you can dismantle those arguments, then?
do you need me to step in?

[bloodflows]

I can try. We'll see how successful I am.

You don't need to step in unless you've got anything to add, for or against. If I'm guilty, I'm guilty. But I want to talk out the possibility before anyone decides that - no matter the outcome. Because I have to do whatever I can to get Iggy's killer and the others. If I'm not guilty, I don't want to be in that cage.

[longlegs]

if you're guilty, they'll have a way to prove it. but they'll have to do a better job than what was presented, too.

[bloodflows]

I keep going back and forth on whether or not I think I'm guilty.

We're sending three there this week. Might not hurt to be sure.

[longlegs]

for what it's worth, it'd take a lot to convince me it was you

i know i would've lost my fucking mind if someone had killed august or theo, wolf or not

the murder scene wouldn't have been anywhere near as neat as this one

[bloodflows]

I can kill without a mess, if I trigger a cardiac arrest.

but the accusation of it being a hunter implies the arrow, and I'm a good shot but I'm not a trick shot like that one guy was claiming it had to be

[longlegs]

wouldn't a cardiac arrest still show signs?

[bloodflows]

You saw how burnt those corpses were.

[longlegs]

Lanfear's wasn't

[bloodflows]

she's not the one with the arrowhead in her, pointing to a hunter

[longlegs]

which is it, then?
did you go through the trouble of a sniper shot with a bow and arrow or did you take the easy path and used your power to kill someone through their blood?
they can't accuse you of both

[bloodflows]

The doc on the network said a spade killed Lanfear
but he also seemed to imply they cared about her in some way

There're still two others. Mel said that that Betty girl was poisoned, though. But she also said Misty was framed but had no proof of that, when I asked. So she's questionably reliable to me, until vetted elsewhere.

[longlegs]

her accusation seems kind of like
out of nowhere
everyone's being accused this time it feels like
i don't know that many people will be looking at you
at least i hope not

[bloodflows]

Guess we'll see how the votes land.



if there's any reason you have to think I could do this, Cel. You can vote me too.

[longlegs]

i will. if there's a reason.

[ ... ]

and if my name gets brought up, i don't want you to dismiss it. okay?

[bloodflows]

You putting yourself under the microscope?

[longlegs]

i told harry i'm pretty good with a knife
we're going to compare my carving to the ones on the heads

[bloodflows]

you think you're the one that did those deco jobs?

[longlegs]

to be honest with you, no

to be really honest with you, i don't know

i don't recognize anything of me in this stuff

but that's the whole point of not wanting to get caught, right

[bloodflows]

yeah, deception's a big part. but people sometimes slip up

[longlegs]

guess so

otherwise all we have is the game of 'i'd never do that' and we saw how much that was worth

[bloodflows]

We've gotten lucky so far. Just another go, and... then what, do you think?

when things end, it's not going to be clean. the transition is going to be messy
