[he looks at the board and at these posters that are not smooth to the touch, mouth pressing into a line.]

...Were you at the cabin with Ven?

[killies]

[ they're not smooch to the touch... ]

No, I was in the theater. Me and Erin.

[STOP

not ashlyn waking up in a theater where aventurine fcking DIED]

...And you were locked in, right? When did you realize?

[killies]

Pretty much right away. I was looking for somewhere quiet. As soon as I saw it wasn't empty, I tried to leave, but couldn't.

[bookpapers]

...Our usual group was at the house, and no one tried to leave. Only Yuffie wasn't there. Didn't realize anything was wrong until this morning.

[killies]

She was outside by the fire, with Karma.

... I guess if you didn't try to leave, you wouldn't notice anything.

[CLOSES HIS EYE... opens it]

Yeah. The problem is that I should've. [it was too funny not to]

[killies]

Why would you, if you didn't know? We had no reason to expect this to happen.

[bookpapers]

...Yeah. That pisses me off too. Why couldn't they tell us more about the ritual? Or about the cult?

[killies]

One of them is dead. That's probably exactly why.

[grimacing]

Maybe. I can't see Death answering those questions... but who knows what they've said in private. Maybe they talked to Aventurine, and that's why they're both dead.
