@DONQUIXOT3, video
[ yes it has been some days. yes this is not the first time she's spoken to the network at large. this time, however, she is showing her face and standing quite proudly this morning in front of a parking lot. cars, empty of gas but otherwise whole, scatter the background. ]
Good morn, dear fellows! I have come to thee today to ask a favor, to grant thee an honor, and help this young knight with a missive most important to all!
[ a beat. she swings into frame an umbrella, popping open the apple printed "lance" with a laugh before closing it as she continues, easy-going like she isn't going to be talking about what she is.
unbeknownst to most, don quixote needs this. ]
Thou may have seen some days ago an anonymous message regarding murder. Well! I am here now, asking thee to assist me with something like it -- nay, the exact same! I would like to see for myself, and as proof of the effects for others, what happens when one dies.
I shall not fight thee, unless thou shall wish for it for I am most happy to oblige, and I shall take only one volunteer. Whomever has the daring, the will, and the capacity to kill, I ask that thee throw thy hand up and seek to claim my life! My dear friends need not apply, for I shall reject thee post-haste!
[ she is NOT letting a fellow sinner do it. not her coworkers. she's been fussed at and she's going to be fussed at again. she might let one of the other city-dwellers do it, given they're both fixers (or formerly) but not her coworkers, war vet be damned.
gregor couldn't do it the other time, after all. ]
However, allow me to lay bare the possibilities of what may happen to thee should thou take it upon thyself to do so.
There is a chance thou may forget that which is most precious to thee, that thou will forget the moment of my death itself, and face... certain difficulties in speaking about it. [ she doesn't know if kromer mentioned that, but it's something regardless. ] I may suffer the same. The goal of this is to learn if it is the victim who forgets, if it is the murderer who doth, or if both have it struck from their mind; the secondary goal, a more personal one, is to learn if both may suffer from the others I have mentioned.
... I understand it is difficult to think of killing another, but I can assure thee, such a thing comes up frequently in my work. We are ever prepared to do so, and to die just as well!
[ helps they don't stay dead but she's not. gonna. say that. it might be odd to wonder what effects who in this case, but. well. a lady keeps her secrets. ]
Any who wish to act as witness may attend as well, for we will have need of thee. I thank thee heartily for thy time and thy consideration on the matter.
[ a small bow, hand to her chest and umbrella tucked behind her, and that's that. ]

no subject
[ she gave her word. ]
no subject
[ actually, no, let him clarify— ]
i don't mean the morality of it, or whatever
[ she looks young, but everyone's young to somebody, and badou hadn't even reached his growth spurt when he saw his first murder so what's age got to do with anything anyway. ]
i mean logistics
you used a pretty specific word here: murder
is it still murder if you're asking for it?
no subject
[ there's nicer words with nuance, but it is what it is in the end. ]
To anyone else, even if I have sought it out, they will have considered it such; I do feel for mine opponent, who must carry that upon his shoulders, but I am confident that one would not apply lest they understood that from the outset, just as I have!
no subject
[ maybe there's no need to be so pedantic. laws so rarely bother to fuss with intent, so why would whatever greater power brought them here care either? ]
why're you so eager to figure this out, anyway?
gotta figure if someone's already willing to murder in a place like this, little details like losing a few memories don't seem like anything that'd actually stop them
no subject
[ which is basically the same answer she's given everyone, so. sorry. ]
no subject
don't worry i wont try and talk ya out of it
looks like youre getting enough of that as it is
