I'm wondering how exactly that was equal to what happened to Tamaki.

[ like, what happened to tamaki was pretty brutal but

in theory there was no lava involved. ]

[fergalicious]

The lava was a surprise, but everything else I could see being some kind of extended reflection.

[ She shrugs a little because it's not like she designed that obstacle course. ]

But it's some kind of example. Showing us what happens when we vote.

[dotcom]

Extended, yes, but it's not equal.

[ he sighs. ]

Not that I thought it would be, but it really shows how the meanings are warped here.

[fergalicious]

They're indulgent meanings.

[ Don't boo her. ]

But it could serve as a deterrent unless someone who thinks they weren't caught once won't be caught again.

[dotcom]

Someone may also think we're too stupid to solve a murder now, too.

[ a pause. ]

Although I'm not sure how easy it would be to create a frame job quite like that.

[fergalicious]

All of the evidence neatly pointed at her at the end. It's suspicious in that way, isn't it?

[ She taps her fingers against her arm. ]

It makes me wonder what else is at play here that we don't know about.

[dotcom]

Yes... they kept telling us we had everything we needed to figure it out. But nothing we found really pointed at anyone else, did it?

[fergalicious]

Mm-hmm.

[ She sighs. ]

I asked after if everyone was even close to finding the truth, and I was told no, to the point it was pitiful. But Greed is very particular.

[dotcom]

Well, Greed is the one who's most interested in the concept of justice out of all of them...

[ so. it makes sense they'd have the most opinions on it. ]

[fergalicious]

Yeah, I was hoping for more of a hint because of that, but...

[ Nada. ]

[dotcom]

I spoke with them for a bit. One of the main things I got out of them though was the fact that they don't choose what the justice actually is.

[ so. the bouncy castle was not their idea. ]

[fergalicious]

So who does? What does?

[ She isn't going to close her mind that there could be a what out there. ]

[dotcom]

They weren't specific. The way it was described made it sound like a program though.

[ but that's just a guess from sasazuka and not a #confirmed answer ]

[fergalicious]

Huh. They're really going for the sci-fi thing.

[ The simulation room made it more than just an aesthetic, but even if it's just conjecture, she's judged that Takeru doesn't jump to silly conclusions. ]

[dotcom]

Looks like it. But we'll probably have to figure out more on our own with that, since there seems to be a limit of what the Avatars know about how it all works.

[fergalicious]

[ She laughs, and it's almost derisive. ]

I don't know if that's what I'd call convenient or inconvenient.

[dotcom]

A very unfortunate mix of both.

[fergalicious]

[ She sighs. ]

Yeah. That's how a lot of things here are shaping out to be.

[dotcom]

I guess we can say that we haven't been here for very long yet, at least...

[fergalicious]

It's not the best start.

[ She isn't that much of a pessimist or a debbie downer usually, but complaining is easy. ]

[dotcom]

[ he sighs ]

Well, we'll just have to deal with it. If people wanted something so badly to come here, I doubt they'd let this get in the way.

[fergalicious]

I know. I won't let it get in my way either. I just wanted to complain a little.

[ She wrinkles her nose before she claps her hands. ]

Okay. Good talk, Takeru! I'm in the mood for some dessert. Come with me?

[dotcom]

Oh, yeah.

[ he agrees so easily because it's dessert. ]

[fergalicious]

[ She figures app username donut would like sweets. Wish she knew enough pop culture so she could make a mean joke about a white van and candy but she doesn't. ]

If I held out my hand, would you slap it away?

[dotcom]

[ lmao ]

Likely.
