the final afterparty

[incompletely]

[

That sure happened, but everyone, by some miracle, made it out alive. No one else died, nothing blew up, no arson was committed, we're all still here. And being here, being present despite everything that just happened, is really important. This is for everyone, McGillis and Yuri included (and Jack, if he wants to party from the dungeon), because they all need it. Even with the new revelations, nobody should be left behind.

The party takes place in the bar again, and it probably looks a little...odd? Because there's all the alcohol in the back, and then...there's a bunch of donuts on one of the tables. Two whole baskets of donuts from the bakery, provided by Tenn. Next to the baskets is tea provided by Koto. Have at it, everyone. ]

...Likewise.

I had my reasons for not wanting to say anything about McGillis, but I've suspected for a while.

[incompletely]

What were the signs, in your opinion?

[ Because he has his reasons, too, but... ]

[ideismo]

He's similar to me, just with less of a sense of morals. And I absolutely would have killed every single one of you for such an offer.

[WELL, ALL RIGHT THEN.]

As before, it was just an understanding I had. Nothing concrete.

[ AH, YES. CLASSIC ALEXEI.... ]

[incompletely]

[ .........anyway. ]

So do you think the offer kind of like the murder incentive, then? Hamelin promised to grant his wish if he worked for him, over murdering someone.

[Listen, sometimes he's like this and now that you all know he's a shitty human being you all have to deal with him.]

It has to be something drastic like that, yes, but I imagine that there's something else to it - otherwise, why not just play the game normally?

I don't know what else would have been offered, but I imagine it was a decent reward. Enough to make it worth it.

[incompletely]

Yeah... There's probably more to it than whatever incentive we've been getting these past few weeks.

[ This is so much, oh god. ]

...We can revisit this later. Honestly, my head hurts trying to piece it all together right now.

[ideismo]

Of course.

it is good to know that you're not allowing this to demoralize you entirely.

A few weeks ago, I might have. Now's a different story.

We have a lot to think about and a big battle up ahead. And now that the traitors have revealed themselves, it's easier to know who to trust. Aside from that, though, people have their reasons for doing the things they do. It's pointless to let that diminish the good that they've done for us.

[ Jack is...one thing, but he feels that way about people like Raven, Moriarty, Rika, Lucifer... Yor and C-ta, too. ]
