[She wouldn't be able to sleep tonight. There was very little she could think right now, because things were making sense, falling into place and everyone in town was learning the same things. And they were things she had hoped weren't true

[ Giriko is hovering around, as he tends to do, his face forced into an even stare. Unfortunately, he was never a very good actor - past his cute, female face, his eyes were undeniably tired. How long were they going to keep pulling this bullshit?

How the hell was he supposed to protect anyone from a goddamn bomb? If it was even real?

Clearing his throat from behind Roshian, he speaks, joking to hide his own concerns. ]

Oi. How about a translation, woman? Seems like you'd know better than anyone, right?

[legberjack]

Like you'd have any better ideas, woman.

[ ...

Does she? ]

[silno_pyanstvo]

We can do nothing. Our only hope is that there is no one left to retaliate.

[legberjack]

Ain't so sure about that, woman; whatever keeps us in is what keeps whatever the hell is out there out, you know?

Hell, with how they act, you'd think we're more valuable alive.

[silno_pyanstvo]

They were able to break through Mayfield's defences before.

[legberjack]

Shit, like I can remember every detail. The hell can you even tell the difference between what the outside and inside bastards are to blame for?

[silno_pyanstvo]

There is no way of knowing anything for certain. Educated guesses are necessary.

[But they way they made it seem...

She didn't know anymore.]

[legberjack]

Tch. Where do you even get off actin' like that? You used to makin' decisions off of what liars say, or something?

[silno_pyanstvo]

[Slight, wry amusement.]

Chainsaw has never been involved in politics.

[legberjack]

[ Well. It's something.

With a small smile, Giriko presses on - he might not be able to stop a bomb, or stop the town, or stop anything, really, but shit, he could stop her anxiety.

Somehow.

Like he even knew-- shit. ]

You say that like I should.

[silno_pyanstvo]

[It was only slight emotion, and it's gone again, or at least the external expression of it is.]

Нет. Chainsaw would do poorly. Politics needs ability to be subtle.

[legberjack]

[ Well, shit. ]

Lying, you mean.

[silno_pyanstvo]

Lies of omission.

I just realized that this reply has been sitting unsent for HOURS.

[legberjack]

Exactly. Shit, I mean-- it's the same old bullshit here, you know?

/slowclap

[silno_pyanstvo]

Да.

[legberjack]

Shit. Do you try to make this harder, or does this idiot nonsense come naturally to you, woman?
