[cluedin]

I'm afraid so. As well as one of your own who has already ... committed a similar crime.

[ she could not sound more dubious about horse murder ]

[soba]

Do you mean the horse?

[ he does not want to think about the fuckin horse ]

[cluedin]

Yes. The horse was... surprising, to say the least.

[soba]

Did you have to clean that up?

[ he didn't see the state of the barn but uh

he can Assume ]

[cluedin]

Thankfully not on my own, but yes. As well as any spiders that got in the house from the horse's head that was brought back as evidence.

[ she hates you all ]

[soba]

Oh.

Gross.

[ understatement ]

[cluedin]

Indeed.

[soba]

[ ... ]

How did you guys pick who was going to kill Asch?

[cluedin]

[ she brushes her skirt lightly of invisible dust ]

Would it make you feel worse or better to know the choice was random?

[soba]

Both.

[ it's a relief that he didn't like, do something wrong and was getting a shitty punishment or something but also

what the fuck rng ]

[cluedin]

Well, then I can assure you we left it entirely up to chance. Did you think there was another reason?

[soba]

More like I was really hoping there wasn't?

[cluedin]

I see. I hope this gives you some relief, then. [ she pauses ] There is also no need to concern yourself about your wounds.

[ was he. concerned. ]

[soba]

You mean I'm not going to turn into a werefish?

[cluedin]

You will not.

[ she confirms. and then, after a beat: ]

Or a wereanything else in relation to the wounds inflicted on you.

[ in case this turns stupider ]

[soba]

[ hmmm ]

What was the difference then?

[cluedin]

As you saw, his affliction was still only partial. We believe it is only contagious once the transformation has fully set in.

[soba]

That's... good.

[ that's pretty low on the list of things he wants ]

Why did Kaioh die? She broke a rule, right? Did she not vote?

[cluedin]

You are correct. She broke a rule and was punished accordingly.

[soba]

So not voting is more severe than voting for yourself?

[cluedin]

There was no official written rule about not voting for yourself. It is more of a ... misdemeanor, I assume. [ she shrugs a little

like losing fingers to misdemeanors is fine ]

[soba]

... that was a misdemeanor? What is this, the yakuza?

[cluedin]

[ pensive; ]

Perhaps it would be simpler if it was.

[soba]

It really wouldn't.

[ that comes out more sharply than he meant it to. there's a pause, and toi sighs. ]

Well. Maybe you're right.

[cluedin]

[ ah ]

You are personally familiar with them, then?
