Those by profession, you mean?

What sort of justice do you wish to see? ( completely trying to move on from this whole taking care of himself topic!!! )

[holyposition]

Yes, sorry. Bella, House, and Eunhyuk. They investigated the bodies last time.

Is it insensitive to call them that
sorry.

Some have suggested violence, but I don't want that. I don't believe the killers are in control of themselves. I'd see them locked up until this nightmare is over, and they can make their amends to those they've hurt after.

[vermax]

Yes but... that is what they are now. We are lucky that we have them as we seek our answers.

You are right in your theory. I do not believe Alia had control.

[holyposition]

I just mean because you were
Nevermind.

It's wise of you to see that. I don't think anyone would blame you if you didn't. This game will end, but if we're not careful, it could destroy us all regardless.

[vermax]

I believe it because I remember the look in her eyes.

[holyposition]

When she came for you? What was it?

[vermax]

There was nothing of her in the black pools that watched me through the eyes of mask.

[holyposition]

...black? Completely?

cw: drowning

[vermax]

Yes. As I remember. ( and it has been a week since he saw her, a week since he glanced back over his shoulder one final time before the water spilled into his lungs. )

[holyposition]

That proves it, then. We should get the word around, there are people who are ready to take justice into their own hands. But there's no justice in killing someone who's been coerced.

[vermax]

Does it? Have you witnessed her use of power before?

[holyposition]

She used it on me once. I volunteered, we were experimenting. Her eyes weren't black. Dark, maybe, but not black.

[vermax]

Then that is indeed proof enough.

I fear it will not stave off all wishing to find their own justice, mine uncle included, but it will deter some. ( and in truth, for all his promise of peace to his mother, he does not wish to pull Daemon from his war path if they have reason to believe they have found the one responsible for Baela's death — posessed or otherwise. but that is best something not shared. )

[holyposition]

I sure hope so.

[vermax]

I will speak before the others. You have my word.

I hope some rest finds you this night, Tim.

[holyposition]

Thank you. You too, Jacaerys.
