I feel like - we have to do something to make this right, somehow. The only thing I care about, the only thing, is not fucking up our chances of getting out of here in one piece.
Yeah, but he's just a jumpy kid in love for the first time. It's obnoxious. And it hurts, when you happen to know how much the person he's talking to has risked. But I don't want him to die over it.
[But you still voted for him, Magnus! You still voted for him.]
. . . Maybe just fall down and drop his pants and his dumb sword a lot?
My options were kids, a guy who's working his butt off to save all the kids, and a 800 year old immortal tool that spends every trial talking about how he and his girlfriend are the only ones suffering or trying to fix anything.
Yeah, I know. And.... I've seen what happens when I do kick it, and I think it's worse. There's just no way to move forward that doesn't break someone.
[ if only phoenix had died w2 the feral orphans would have gone nuts ]
I think you're helping.
[ he'd say more than some people but that's in bad taste....... ]

.... Hey.
[ he's not even sure what to say. ]
no subject
[He laughs, but it's a little bit dark.]
This is, uh, the nightmare scenario.
no subject
[ he wasn't sure if magnus had something up his sleeve while volunteering, but, well. ]
no subject
People are hurting enough already. They don't fucking trust each other. And now this?
no subject
... Yeah, it's gonna be hard to come back from this.

no subject
What can we do about it, though? Trust isn't so easy to fix.
no subject
I just think nobody could get their shit together to avoid a tie!
no subject
... Yeah. As soon as people started volunteering, we fell apart.

....
Was that you?
[ sorry to derail he just gets very distracted by this ]
no subject
no subject
.... I'd say that was deserved.
[ that one thing ]
You know what, though, Magnus? No matter how badly we screwed up, I'm glad it wasn't you.
no subject
Wish I could say the same. But thanks. You're, uh, a pretty decent guy, you know?
no subject
[ there it is ]
I didn't really think he'd be an actual suspect. My mistake.
no subject
Sorry, just. It's not all some big nasty conspiracy, we just all shit the bed at the same time.

Suppose we were all just tired of it. I am.
no subject
[And yet, no revenge kills.]
Who's that guy working his butt off, though? Everybody seemed pretty lazy this time around to me.
no subject
[ for obvious reasons. and yeah. ]
I don't mean in the trial, Magnus. That's just a spectacle. It's not the real fight.
no subject
[The revenge murders...would be so much.]
I agree with you. But I don't know how much I can do to help with it, either.
no subject
[ if only phoenix had died w2 the feral orphans would have gone nuts ]
I think you're helping.
