[ well, there's no way to say it, except to say it, so: ]

One of us died today. Big guy, blond hair. I don't know his name. I found his body.

[ that's his schtick, isn't it? finding bodies. ]

What I do know is that he fell on some rocks near the beach. Looks like an accident, no foul play. The fall shouldn't have killed him.

[ could've, if the bastard really were that unlucky, but it's unlikely. besides: ]

But it did break his lantern. Seems like Winters was telling the truth about that after all. Before anyone asks:

1) No, I didn't see it happen.
2) Yes, I checked for a pulse.
3) No, I didn't do it.

[ juST COVERING HIS BASES THERE ]

One more thing. I had to step away to get my tablet. When I came back, both he and his lantern were gone. No one else was here, I'm positive. They just vanished into thin air.

[ ooc | so as of today, rosinante (callada) is dead :C feel free to threadjack in this post and use it for discussion or whatever! ]

No, Jesus. And I'd know if someone were teleporting.

[ he doesn't factually know this. but. he feels like he would! ]

[ordinaryannie]

Now that much we can agree on.

[chardismastic]

you're the one losing your mind over me not being all sunshine and flowers here

this all started because you had a problem with two little words that weren't even directed at you

[donttalktome]

Ah yes, only efficient murder for you.
Though I suppose that's at least calming in the sense that you don't make your victims suffer.

[donttalktome]

No one, as far as I can tell.
She's the highest authority, and I use that word lightly, that I've ever met here.
Winters would likely be upset if he saw me painting her in a poor light, so I'll leave it at this: we don't get along very well.
Point of fact, I feel something close to hate in her general direction.
So if there was someone else behind her actions, she probably wouldn't tell me.

[Yeah, you're not far off the mark there, Five.]

[kungfuey]

[ Now would be an excellent time to provide context, Scarlett. ]

If I'm the psychopath you suspect me to be?
Why are you still breathing?

[ Or you could just do that. ]

[kungfuey]

What I'm waiting to see?
Which one of us will be the first to not come back.

[fogey]

[ oh good he can go back to plan a then: kill the lighthouse keeper ]

So why does Winters like her so much?

[ gdi. ]

... just keeping it dark... probably.

[primordialerebus]

[ She'd slam her head against a keyboard if there was one. ]

I'm just saying... be kind??? I don't know what else to say man.

[ She may or may not reply after this since a certain Edgelord has her attention now. ]

[ordinaryannie]

Good question.

Probably the first person to get close to something really important.

[chardismastic]

[ be kind...next there'll be flower crowns and friendship bracelets and all other sorts of camp activities around beacon ]

cute

[knifecollecting]

Jesus could probably get the body without you knowing. How would you know if someone was teleporting?

[fogey]

Because I can teleport, obviously. I'd recognize it if I saw it.

Private

[kungfuey]

I'll keep that in mind then.

[ She was gonna leave it at that, then finally adds... ]

Don't worry. Your secret is safe.

[kungfuey]

That should make for a fun waiting game.

[donttalktome]

Well first of all I'm useful.
Second of all, I've only ever encountered you in public settings.
Murdering me in front of everyone would hardly be good for your image.

[inb4 what image]

[donttalktome]

[That sure is A Plan.]

He thinks of her as one of us.
Trapped in an unfortunate situation that's largely out of her control.
I tend to disagree.
She might be like us, I've never asked.
As in, she might be dead.
But she certainly has more control over all of this than we do. That alone makes her different.

[knifecollecting]

You said you looked away.

[kungfuey]

Didn't we establish I don't find you that useful?
You're also mistaking me with somebody who cares what people think.
If I did? I'd have ended up here long before now.

[ I mean. Exactly. ]

[donttalktome]

So people who care what other people think die earlier?
I suppose I wouldn't know.
Fine, here's a guess: murdering me would be a waste of time and effort.

[ordinaryannie]

Or the world's least appropriate betting pool.

Private

[primordialerebus]

[ She kind of feels like crying in relief. ]

Thank you so much.

Private

[kungfuey]

Don't mention it.

[kungfuey]

If they take it to heart.
True but that probably wouldn't stop me.

[ Should she keep playing? ]

I don't murder people I defend myself.
There's a difference.
