[time shifts, and all of your variant wounds have healed and faded away. And missing people could well have returned! Furthermore, rather suddenly, you are all sat at a table. A long table, dressed for a party, with food for a party. The head chair is empty, but after a moment, the Lion Tamer materialises into it. (And this conversation has gone on

*...flexes his renewed hands*

Are the options on that poll literal, Lion Tamer?

[dandelioned]

Oh, yes. Certainly.

[holysiscon]

I find myself not able to trust anything in your world as being purely literal.

[dandelioned]

Have I misled you before?

[areplicatedhope]

What? I don't - why is this even a choice? We should save him!

[... is kind of favouring his foot a little because WOW WEIRD.]

[dandelioned]

Do you believe that so thoroughly, Luke fon Fabre?

[areplicatedhope]

Why should we kill him? Is there a reason to? Or is it just revenge? I won't kill him out of revenge.

[dandelioned]

Then cast your vote.

[she is sitting in that same chair again, just out of the light, her face invisible]

... Oh. Oh.

[dandelioned]

[reaches up, lightly spinning the Monsieur's mask about his forefinger.]

You may vote too, if you wish.

[dandelioned]

[she sighs, shaking her head]

In this, as in everything, I should not interfere with what he has wrought. I did warn him.

[dandelioned]

If he were to die, would you mourn it?

[foreverjustice]

I don't think it's our place to decide.

[dandelioned]

Not quite. It is my place. And I am giving that choice to all of you, who he so abused. It is poetic justice, Flynn.

[foreverjustice]

I appreciate all you've done for us, but I disagree. It's not justice if you take it into your own hands, there are laws for a reason.

[dandelioned]

Then vote as you feel appropriate.

[notmakingout]

Save him, huh? Isn't that kinda up ta him, whether he wants ta change?

[dandelioned]

Ah, you don't follow. You are saving him from me.

[notmakingout]

Is that so? If we save him, what happens then?

[dandelioned]

He continues as he always has. I, meanwhile, leave the circus as I planned.
