@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. ]

[ah??????]

That's not what I was trying to say at all! I'm serious, you don't need to prove this one. We all believed it just fine the first time.

[ordinarily that would not be enough to get junpei to back off--the stepford smile? the vague appeal to, what, propriety? so he doesn't press?--none of these things ordinarily would mean jack shit to him.

but. now that he's met username kromer who melts people (tm) and taken a wild guess at some hypotheses after that meeting, he can... maybe... see that taking the word of kromer who melts people isn't actually enough.]


This is a bad idea, so... Well, you don't need me to lecture you about how other people feel when you die from bad ideas, huh.

[he wants his extreme disapproval on record!!! but he's aware on some level that if certain people were here and a monumentally bad idea could help them in some way, he would probably consider the same bad idea at least a little. he's done it before. so.

damn, bestie, it's too early for this.]


I can't stop you, [noodle that he is; perhaps someone else with an iota of physical strength will literally hold her back--] but, uh... let me know if you need anything when you get back.
coolerjunpei: (so many junpeis)

[today junpei learns about grim resignation... alright. he's logicked himself into letting this go, so - alright.]

I... can make time, yeah. Sure. Once you get back, we'll go bowling for real. We can make bets and everything.

[he'll lose for sure, but he'll lose... ~with a friend~]

[don quixote, willing to get herself killed for research purposes, not willing to go outside at night. learn something new every day....]

Yeah, it's—lit up but also still dark...? I went in back when it first opened. You'll see.

[he won't spoil the rest of the cosmic surprise!!]

Think of something good to bet- [while you wait to die?] -in the meantime.
coolerjunpei: (but if he watched back to the future)

[personal profile] coolerjunpei 2023-07-18 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[oh, good... more city knowledge... save it for after bowling night.]

Uh, money, normally... but we don't use money around here and anything else either one of us could just get, so maybe... a cooked meal?

[he knows how to make pancakes now, after all. big pulls.]

[give him this much credit: he knows this is don assuming the winner gets to cook, and not don being polite and pretending he'll win. one day he'll have a real skill...]

You're good with that? Then it's a bet for a meal. Just let me know when you- [.....,] -have time. I'll clear my immensely busy schedule.
