[amazing! you guys did something good! also he sort of grins awkwardly and shrugs in response.]

Kinda. I was just sorta looking...do you want anything? I have some onigiri left.

[A shake of her head.]

No... That's alright. To be honest, it's hard to work up an appetite right now.
rindude: (You don't know me so I'll show you)

[personal profile] rindude 2022-03-23 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, hence the onigiri. [it's small, easy, and one-handed without effort.] ...it's weird. We should be happy that we're catching at least one culprit per week, but there's too many other things wrong with the picture.
pura: (177)

[personal profile] pura 2022-03-24 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
Should we...? It's hard to find any satisfaction while knowing the culprits aren't in their right mind, either.

It feels like putting a beloved animal out of its misery, over and over. Painful, and depressing.

I said should, not that I agree with it. But you're right. It's not really fair to anybody, and especially when it's totally possible there's still people running around that got away with this. They might be hurting and we won't even know until it's too late.

No way to know, and no way to heal them unless we get really lucky with the gumball machine. [Which is, hm, bad.] Is that truly the only way to get our hands on something that could save those people...?
rindude: (Break your silence)

[personal profile] rindude 2022-03-26 09:58 am (UTC)(link)
...I don't know. I think it's something we just have to keep looking into, see what other options might be available to us and figure out what to do with them from there. It can't be, but I don't know as much about it as I want to right now.

[personal profile] pura 2022-03-26 02:50 pm (UTC)(link)
That would make the two of us... I suppose there's whatever was used to spare Percy the other week, too. But we don't know who was responsible for that, or what method they used.
rindude: (Retain yourself)

[personal profile] rindude 2022-03-27 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
...I think that it was likely a method we won't be able to replicate again, and that whoever used it was someone who wanted to do the right thing. We can't count on it, but we can be glad for it.

There's always a chance something new will come up instead. We just have to think and maybe the prism will listen.
pura: (240)

[personal profile] pura 2022-03-27 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe. Though the Prism isn't always keen on listening to what we truly want. [...] But if that miracle was really a once in a lifetime deal, then... What's gonna happen if the refracted make it out of their execution alive?
rindude: (Watch it burn like a firebird)

[personal profile] rindude 2022-03-27 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
...what's the likelihood of that happening, you think? Especially if you guys think they are refracting by then.
pura: (174)

[personal profile] pura 2022-03-28 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
To get to that point, they will have already killed someone. What's stopping them from killing yet another person if they chose combat?
rindude: (Shake it on this battleground)

[personal profile] rindude 2022-03-29 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Nothing, but...I feel like the people who enter that area have been decent fighters. Even against people refracting.
pura: (174)

[personal profile] pura 2022-04-01 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
So you think the executioner will always win?
rindude: (Psycho cane)

[personal profile] rindude 2022-04-02 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
I think it's been a pretty proven pattern so far, but...even patterns have anomalies. There may be a time the executioner doesn't win, but I don't think that'll happen at this point if things go the way they have been.
pura: (266)

[personal profile] pura 2022-04-04 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
...

[She seems pretty doubtful of this, but she nods nonetheless.]

For our sake and yours, I hope you aren't mistaken about that, Riff-san.
rindude: (Shake it on this battleground)

[personal profile] rindude 2022-04-04 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
That makes two of us. [sigh.] ...we just have to keep hoping for the best, whatever that might be. And be ready for whatever outcome we get.
pura: (320)

[personal profile] pura 2022-04-04 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
... It's really all we can do as soon as the execution starts, huh?
rindude: (Break your silence)

[personal profile] rindude 2022-04-04 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
Unless we think of a better plan for the night before, yeah.
