The, uh. Horse is filling me in.

[ don't.

don't ask. ]

You ran into a monster?

[messy]

[




a beat.]

Yeah!

[roseoftexas]

[























stares at her. ]

[messy]

[SMILES... INNOCENTLY...

also, she is wearing this for the record.]

[roseoftexas]

Now I'm even more suspicious. [ as the horse tells him that its friends are DEAD now.




shu is dressed like a hunter. all i have are pixel images. he has a cosy looking coat on as well though because it was freakin' cold out there in what's basically sandals and cloth and a dream. ]

[messy]

Hey, I'm not the one who was starin' at a corpse when we showed up.

[roseoftexas]

I think we were all staring at a corpse.

[ i have a Feeling. ]

You really only just got here?

[messy]

Did ya miss the part where we just rode in on a horse?

[roseoftexas]

And you just saw us walk in, and yet-- [ the implications flew. ]

... You didn't happen to be looking for someone, did you?

[messy]

Yeah, well, your group ain't half dead. More hands for stabbing.

[she glances at the corpse, frowning.]

Not someone.

[roseoftexas]

[ he looks at the bow he has and nothing else and looks at her. his bow has heart arrows. eunhyuk is waving a giant soup ladle.



we don't talk about lucien. ]

Something?

[messy]

[she

glances at the corpse after eunhyuk says that might be alpates.]

Yeah. Something. [...] What did she steal?

[roseoftexas]

[ also just looking at this corpse that might be alpates ]

"Something very precious". That's all we were told.

Bunch of people in town seemed to know her though -- a lot of what we were told about her from them didn't match the description we got.

[messy]

Yeah...? And what was that description?

[roseoftexas]

Your turn. What was the thing you were looking for?

[ before your gods horpsed and horses. ]

[messy]

Not a dead woman, that's for sure.

We were told there might be somethin' valuable in the ruins. Don't know what it is, exactly. But everyone likes a good treasure, y'know?

[roseoftexas]

[ hmmmmmmmmmmmm. ]

The name seemed to ring a bell with you though. Alpates. [ me thinking it was in this thread but it was elsewhere but they're all just staring a this corpse so assigns him overhearing. ]

[messy]

It's a real ugly name for a baby girl. Like, I mean, did her parents hate her?

[roseoftexas]

[ don't fuckin' laugh shu there's a corpse there. it's fine, the crow caws enough for the both of them. you have a fan, harley. ]

Might've meant something to them. [ he's called shu he can't talk. ]

Still. Doesn't look like there's any mystical treasure here. Just a body.

[messy]

Yeah, well, all names mean something. Could've picked another one that wouldn't get her bullied out of the church choir.

[she frowns, watching eunhyuk examine the corpse.]

Hm... I wonder...

[roseoftexas]

[ maybe she liked that name, harley. maybe the choir loved her. we can never know her life because she's (makes yaywon making monster scooping motions except it's a big sword stabbing motions) ]

...?

[messy]

What d'you think killed her?

[roseoftexas]

[ looking at eunhyuk poking around at this corpse while everyone else bickers. ]

Well, whatever it is. It looks like it was probably pointy.

[ amazing work team. ]

[pathematic]

[speaks up from where he's kneeling though he doesn't get up to join them,]

A sword. It went straight through her. And she has smaller stab wounds too, like from a dagger.

[messy]

Well, shit. How long has she been dead? Can you tell?
