@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. ]

[ some people feel better if their victim has a fighting chance. ]
I shall not ask thee to trust me, good ser, for there is no base on which to build it. But I know of what I speak -- do not think I do throw my life away so casually.
no subject
he understands, greatly, especially in the pursuit of knowledge but this is not the way. still, he wants to see how this will pan out, if only to make sure that everyone comes back to life. ]
Let me ask this, then. What will you use this piece of information for?
[ seeing that both or either the victim or the murderer loses some kind of memory ... ]
Not for anything suspicious, is it?
no subject
[ and she'll place a hand over it, still smiling. it's for very personal reasons she wants to know... the memory of the death itself, it'd be a bonus to know if the person she's thinking of with this has lost one too. ]
It would go against my principles!
no subject
it doesn't help that she looks young and reminds him too much of his little sister. ]
If someone were to take up your offer, would you allow me to witness it? I would volunteer but to take one's life, even if they're willing ...
[ it goes against so much of his principles of protecting people. ]
I would like to make certain you come back to life.
no subject
the city is the city, after all. a new place with the same name and the same sort of people. it's sweet though, that he'd put it like that, and don's smile seems to settle into something a little... less. still there, but not as necessary. ]
... Then it will not be at the stage of my demise that thou shall await, but at the very train station from whence we arrived the morrow after! I do not mind, but I cannot guarantee there will not be another or two there awaiting to give me an earful.
no subject
then again, as much as he's been a witness to many deaths on the battlefield, he'd still rather not see anyone die, especially a girl like her. aeons help him. ]
Very well, then I shall wait for your return at the train station tomorrow morning. We can speak about justice and honor after.
no subject
[ just
be cool with a punch or ten ]
no subject
[ ?????????? ]
no subject
Ehm... My coworkers, who are also my dear allies and friends. I imagine they will take this about as well as one may expect.
[ so um
well
not at all ]
They would not agree even if I had told them ahead of time, mind. As was the case of one. So they will be quite angry with me.
no subject
[ well, to be fair, he does see. he understands why they'd be upset; he would be too if one of his sisters or friends decides to post a message, asking to be murdered.
still— ]
... But do they have to express it through violence?
[ is there no other way?? ]
no subject
[ yeah ]
no subject
Very well, but I will intervene if it gets too rowdy.
