RECORDING 8: THE THIRD MURDER.

[foundationmods]

A third week, and this is beginning to become routine. Waking on friday, with the knowledge deep down that your number has yet again decreased.

But you must still pull yourself from your bed, and discover who is now forever gone...

As you all rise and look towards a new day, the Miasma laps at your heels...

...And around whatever corpse now lingers in the hallways...

((OOC: 2 people max under a heading, please! Just to keep things easy on the mods. You can switch out with someone else during an investigation if needed.))

...no.

[...the fight goes out of him for a second as he processes, before no, he is going to push himself back up-]

No, please, tell me you're- are you sure, she could be-

[...but it makes... everything make sense, doesn't it? If... if someone...]

...I... I need to see her, I can't just-

[finalring]

I saw her, Seteth. I made sure.

[ he saw the gaping hole in her chest. the way that her heart was ripped out of it. ]

She fought bravely, Seteth. You don’t want to see how she looks. Don’t make that your last memory of her, please.

[baitless]

[ah. butchered, then.

like everyone else. because he couldn't protect her. he still couldn't protect her, even after last time, and last time she survived, even if it was just barely-

he just kind of goes limp. like yeah he's going to smack his head off the ice pack but he's past the point of caring about his own pain right now.]

...it... does not matter how she fought.

[...he's not really holding it together. His voice is clearly wavering.]

...I should have been more attentive. I... should not have left her out of my sight. I should have been there for her...

[finalring]

.... I’m sorry, Seteth. If I could have saved her...

[ well, then there’s no point in thinking about what ifs. ]

We’ll find who killed her. I promise you that we will, but... we will need your help.

[baitless]

I...

[he almost doesn't care who killed her. maybe if they singled her out. maybe if they'd been trying to... use her... but how could anyone have known? he didn't...

...]

I will tell you what I can. I just...

[...he puts his arm over his eyes.]

I need... some time.
