letsplayamurder | Week seven

After that particularly hectic trial, if it could even be called that, you were free to go your own way. The sun had set on Ferdinand and Omega's attempt to enact vengeance upon Typhon, and while your combined efforts were clearly enough to damage him, he managed to slink off with both of your former companions. No doubt, probably licking his wounds, or whatever the Titan plans to do in his refuge between the realms.

It's another new week on the island. Outside, things have continued to change - standing by the cliffs will reveal that not only has the water against the rocks receded further, but the entire ocean has as well. You hear birdsong in the distance, and even the plants have turned greener despite the drawbacks from Typhon's trickery. No matter the horrors everyone's experienced, it seems the island continues to grow healthier.

There's still time to enjoy the benefits that provides. Down on the deepest level, the stairs to... How odd. The stairs still refuse you passage. Looks like there's no new floor to investigate this week!

Quark's Bar & Cafe

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Okay listen, maybe he's been keeping an eye out for Luna since this morning, and finally spotted her leaving the kitchen. And maybe he very silently follows her down to the library. He can be surprisingly light-footed when he wants to, and he thinks he's following at a safe enough distance, anyway.

So, once she's got a few books, he's just going to lean on one of the pillars behind her and say:]

Planning on making your own library?

[ Augh. Luna's ears pin. Even if she sort of heard something, she didn't think it was Quark! What does he even want now? ]

'Tis only for today.

[ there are too many books for today unless she's a crazy speedreader or something. which like. she could be you don't know! ]

Okay, well, before you apparently hole yourself up in your room for the next two days to read all of those, we gotta talk.

[ Luna, several millenia old, sighs like a teenager! But, being several millennia old, that's the end of it. ]

Oh, very well.

[Quark rolls his eyes

Don't worry, your highness, I won't take up too much of your time. I've just got one question.

[dryly, because he can't help it. But he shifts a bit, watching her closely]

If they'd gone to you instead of Astarion, would you have kept quiet like they asked?

Certainly not if they'd come to me like Astarion.

[ What did he do with his knowledge? Just stand there and let it happen? If she'd been involved, it would have been as a sacrifice or nothing at all. ]

[his jaw works]

Like what, then.

[he thinks he knows. But he wants to hear it]

You cannot deny that it would be better had at least one of them lived.

[ Would she have actually, literally gone along with the plan? It's...sort of hard to say. It was obviously not very well thought-out. But she's speaking from a place of emotion rather than strategy - she just does not want Ferdinand and Omega to be gone. ]

I think it would have been better if both of them had lived. [his fingers are digging into his arms where he has them folded]

Well, certainly. The better plan would have been to have a single person take care of it, had the lack of food gone on that long.

[ The weapon thing clearly needed some work, let's not worry about that one. That's not what she'd been most worried about beforehand anyway. ]

The better plan- [it is difficult not to grind his teeth]-would have not been to keep it to themselves and to talk to the rest of us and get us in on it. They'd been planning this a whole week before the lack of food was even a threat.

Well, yes. We could have all worked on it. I rather thought we were going to.

[ It wasn't the first time Omega's idea of a weapon came up. He'd spoken about it in meetings with everyone before! When did it become a secret plan? ]
