Myself!

oh I'm not voting for your friend ...boyfriend??? Either. You two are very nice together
but it's a silly accusation, you must know that

actually I won't hold my tongue
you are being ridiculous

[thirsted]

If I'm being ridiculous, I can't imagine what that makes you.

[endow]

monkey see 🐵 monkey do🐒
I hope that puts things into perspective for you

[thirsted]

It doesn't. I didn't accuse myself, and there is evidence that points to me.
If you've come to me to mock me, spare yourself the time and effort. I've had more than my fill of others trivializing my fear and my honesty from Set.

1/2

Astarion please
if anyone is doing any mocking, it's to myself and everyone else here 🤷 I don't believe you killed those people

buuut I do believe everyone is scrambling for answers

[ In a gesture rendered invisible by the chosen medium of communication, Astarion kneads his brow with his fingers, loosing a sigh as he tries to let go of the animal instinct toward fight or flight he's been carrying since arriving with Gale in the town square. ]

I'm sorry.

[ For snapping. For mistrusting her, maybe, when she's spared him once already, even if they're still little better than strangers to each other. ]

I don't know if I don't believe it. There are two Spades to be accounted for, aren't there? A man, someone with light hair. I've been compelled before. There's no reason it couldn't happen again.

But the rest of it
I don't think anyone has anything better to go on.
Do you?

[endow]

thank you

someone has to believe it! I will. That boy August was probably framed. I can make fire with my tails and scorch the earth too and no one is talking about that. A list for clarity:

1. I can create magic
2. my psychic powers might break this world
3. I'm an illusion master
4. I have light hair and I am a spade

maybe it WAS me
either way, I wanted people to stop and think before acting like the evidence is everything

[thirsted]

I meant I don't know if I believe that I'm innocent, but I'll take it.

You'll be fighting an uphill battle, regardless. Evidence is the only thing we have, and the lack thereof seems to be the entire problem.

[endow]

I know what you meant, and I stand by what I said

I don't care
if you could point your finger at someone, who would it be? Go with your gut

[thirsted]

[ not convinced but ok.jpg ]

The Shepherd.

[endow]

Ah
but would you vote for him?

[thirsted]

No. I don't believe the game would allow for it, and we've already seen what happens to those who try to break the rules.

[ sorry, shadowheart. ]

[endow]

That's the catch! A real shame
imagine what we could have accomplished if all of us joined together and voted for the Shepherd

[thirsted]

I suppose that was the point of all the killing.
To blind us to that option, when the bereaved immediately turn to find the closest perceived culprit.

[endow]

A very human thing. He's done this before, hasn't he?
I bet he watched from this strange home last year.

"Don't break what isn't broken", so he breaks us.
