[Lucas knows that AND HE KNOWS KARMA WAS ALSO A LIL SHIT!! HOWEVER!!!!!]
He was just a child.
[One who clearly had some fucking issues, but still someone barely into their teenage years. Karma was intentionally needling and rambunctious in ways that could be dangerous, but this whole thing just riles him.]
We saw how the votes played out the previous week. If someone were cruel enough... they could take that as justification. Or maybe someone who voted for him to begin with and already had the intention?
A lot of people were suspecting him of killing even though it was so early.
[Reasons why he stepped in to get Karma off the hook for the item check, honestly. People said they had their reasons for suspecting him, but he surmised - mostly correctly - that a lot of it just boiled down to a bias against him.
He sighs, crossing his arms over his middle.]
You're speaking logically, but I do hope that your speculations won't be accurate in the end...
[ He just... sighs, so heavily. He doesn't often actually look sad, more than just a perpetual state of exhaustion -- but this time, there is a bit of that actually. ]
Had a long talk with Pickles just last night, after he'd returned from their excursion.
But wow. THIS IS SAD AND HAKI IS EVIL BECAUSE SAME!!!!!]
...Yes. I'm still not entirely certain what happened or why, but he was in... a very bad way, when I last spoke to him. No one deserves to be killed, but...
[THE ONLY RELIABLE BITCH GETS EXECUTED THIS SUNDAY.
He just nods, though. He has a braincell, but unfortunately i aki do not, so jury's out on how much help he will be.]
I'll do what I can wherever I can, of course. As I'm sure everyone else will, but... we'll have to keep an eye out for the emotions that may run hot and high.
[JUST CLOSES HIS EYES INTERNALLY and stares into the middle distance for a bit externally. You know what is so terrible all the time! Feeling helpless!!!!]
Again, unfortunately. ...Given this is likely going to be a recurring problem, perhaps we can work on establishing more tools that can help us later, though. Like taking stock of who receives what during the week, or checking in with those we're sharing housing with so everyone knows where everyone else should be.

No one here deserves to die.
[But he's a bit hung up over these choices and also he's still reeling from a TRIPLE KILL.]
no subject
And I'd especially hope Mr. Akabane's death wasn't a measure of that.
[ He knows so many people had a bone to pick with that kid. ]

I didn't like being right the last time. I hope I'm wrong this time.

[Is this a bit pointless to ask MAYBE SO!!]

It's cruel for him to have died.

[A DOG? A SUFFERING DOG??]
no subject
I can only hope I was able to relieve some of his burden before he...
[ ...Anyway, he just goes quiet. ]
There's no undoing it. We'll just have to focus on tomorrow.
no subject
...Having someone to talk to and talk him through everything surely helped. It almost always does.
[Almost. But Daan's right, so he nods.]
I have my concerns with how things may proceed, but we'll just have to be prepared to work hard.
no subject
[ You're the only reliable bitch around here (smash cut to Lucas having killed). ]

...
That's going to be hard to fish out in a situation like this, but we'll try.
no subject
His lips press into a thin line.]
We'll try. [Echoing it back. Then:] We'll have to keep an eye out for the more typical wild emotions, too. The ones that could easily derail.
no subject
...
[ Man. ]
Yeesh... thinking about it is giving me a headache. Emotional corralling is the worst...
no subject
What a mood, though.]
It's going to prove difficult, certainly...
[So many people here are. So emotional.]
no subject
We're going to have to make it happen, one way or another.
Let's hope everyone gets it out now while they still can.
no subject
I should hope so. But we can hope for the best and prepare for something other than that.
no subject
Again, then.

[ Jeez. ]
Things to note... in the future.
[ Because he's resigned this will not be the last time. ]
no subject
Mm. ...For now... I fear there's little else we can do. Did you find anything?
no subject
I'll have to reconsider my notes on present powers as well, but I think it might help paint a clearer image. Rule this and that out...
no subject
Ruling anything out is as good a start as any. What sort of notes have you taken so far?
