[When Vie speaks, her voice is quiet, words more to herself than anyone else. In the background a man's voice, or rather that of a pumpkin, pleads with her to kill him.]

You look the part, but you are not him.

[It's been a long time since Vie's let herself cry, and be damned if she does so now. To the pumpkin she continues:]In asking for death,

Comments

[3wayforjustice]

You could always ask someone else to do it for you. There's no end to the well-intentioned offers of squash murder around here.

[gotyourwallet]

So I've noticed. Oddly enough, I don't want it dead. Even if it's not him, I'm still... I don't know.

[Vie sighs.]

Shad's death once over is enough.

[3wayforjustice]

I... No. I understand... that sentiment.

But I've learned that if you destroy your own, the rest stop speaking to you. It's not much, but it's something.

[gotyourwallet]

Destroy my own? I haven't found one like myself yet.

[A pause. Vie's in thinking mode now.]

Hm. That's... not a bad idea, actually.

[3wayforjustice]

That's what I've heard. I see no reason not to believe the others, as of yet.

[Except he sort of fell asleep on his feet before he found his.]

[gotyourwallet]

You've not broken yours then?

[HMMMMMMMMMMMM.]

If you see one of my likeness, will you let me know, please?

[3wayforjustice]

We... tried to. It didn't end up like we'd planned.

With or without broken legs?

[You know. From falling off that tower.]

[gotyourwallet]

[Wait. WHAT.]

...Anders what happened.

[A little more concern in her voice right now.]

[3wayforjustice]

... Sleep deprivation.

[Shhh it was embarrassing.]

[gotyourwallet]

Would you rather speak elsewhere?

[Not on the journals where everyone can hear, perhaps?]

[3wayforjustice]

It's nothing... bad.

[Just embarrassing.]

We can if you'd like.

[gotyourwallet]

Ah. I can meet you by the bonfire.

[She's heading that way anyway.]

[3wayforjustice]

The bonfire, then.

[Just give him a minute to haul himself out of his little hole of a room.]

[gotyourwallet]

[When he gets there, Anders will find Vie sitting and staring at nothing in particular, completely lost in thought.]

[3wayforjustice]

[He doesn't make for a stealthy approach. A man carrying a big stick and wearing feathers rarely does.]

[If she looks lost in thought, he just looks tired. It's been a long week or... however long it's been since the pumpkins started speaking.]

Is this a bad time...?

[gotyourwallet]

[Vie looks to Anders when he speaks and shakes her head.]

As good a time as any. Come, sit. You look as though you could use the rest.
