[WEEK 5: Monday evening, Room 112; Andersen]
[at some point during the day, Andersen will find himself the recipient of a discreet note from you know who: Room 112. 9 p.m. I have to tell you something important]
[well, it's now 9 p.m., so. are you here, Andersen? and are you knocking?]
[well, it's now 9 p.m., so. are you here, Andersen? and are you knocking?]
no subject
[jesus]
[he stares, expression going slack, eyes going wide, like he doesn't. really. know what to do with that? like. . .]
I altered the hand print at the trial on Saturday.
[he blurts out suddenly, like this confession will get Andersen to stop.]
[nevermind that part of the reason he is even telling him about this is because he had hoped his ally would continue to understand, continue to provide support]
I made it-- bigger, than it really is.
no subject
Yeah.
We're keeping the Prophets alive-- for now. But. . .
They've agreed to allow the three Hunters to be the final three survivors, if. . . no one else gets to us first.
Why aren't you angry?
[he fucked up a trial?? he prevented people from finding a killer??]
no subject
[he never wanted to be a tragedy. he never wanted to be a hero, either. he just wanted that happy ending. he wanted this to end, he wanted everyone to go home, and he wanted all of that without anyone having to compromise their ideals or their morals]
[would his dad be disappointed in him now, for failing to find a third option? for giving in so easily when he learned the truth?]
H. . . ha. . .
[he lifts his arm to his face, covers his eyes, and rubs at them tiredly]
This isn't a damn tragedy, Andersen.
[he says, forcing more firmness into his words than he feels at the moment]
I won't let it be. God damn it, we won't. Okay?
[he drops his arm again and looks up, and this time-- he's smiling]
We'll steal back every single life the Unclean has taken, no matter what the cost.
no subject
Yeah. The Unclean. She's a jerk. I really don't like her.
[makes a face]
. . . what's the condition?
[he thinks he already knows]
no subject
You're gonna hafta fight Yukina and Jay for that.
[he can't promise that condition, unfortunately]
We can't agree on which one of us should take it. We all have things to return to back home, but. . .
None of us want to see the other suffer like Craftly has.
no subject
[HE'S JUST SAYING THERE ARE TWO OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE FIGHTING FOR THE MOST SELF-SACRIFICIAL PERSON IN YUGGOTH POSITION]
no subject
[okay fine, he'll bite]
no subject
[there's a lot he can say to that. a lot he wants to say. but if he does, he feels like they'll just argue over who is going to take the deal to raise the dead. just like he has with Jay and Yukina]
. . .
We can talk about that later.
Right now, we need to focus on the task directly ahead of us.
[that is, getting down to three survivors]
no subject
Do you really think I expect you to go easy on me?
[just the opposite, actually. Andersen's tough love will be exactly what he needs to hold onto his conviction]
I know the consequences of the choices I'm about to make. My role as detective is over, too.
[look. look!! he's admitting to it]
Let's aim for the best possible end to this ritual, yeah?
