[WEEK 2, FRIDAY POST-INVESTIGATION: Keith]

[spinatalltale]

[the manner of death this week wasn't nearly as gruesome and atrocious as last week's. but despite her shitposting, Magilou can tell that it was no less merciless]

[Keith can find her exiting the Magilou-Lucina hut, book tucked her arm, quill poking out of the binding. her expression is still mostly blank, but she also sort of looks. . . pensive?]

[alienated]

Neither can I.

[He doesn't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing that neither of them have any hecking idea. Probably bad.]

But... if it ever happens, I guess we'll find out. I can't picture them staying quiet about it, anyway. They like ridiculing us too much.

[spinatalltale]

I wonder if that's a good or bad thing?

[Mags how could it be good]

Are we being entertaining enough?

[alienated]

We're still alive, so maybe not. They seemed to like Joshua more after his head was on the spike.

[Hahaha, he sure does sound pissed about that.]

[spinatalltale]

. . .

If being entertaining is a death sentence, then I hope I'm the most boring person on this island.

[alienated]

I hear that. But if we don't put an end to this then anyone could be next, the two of us included.

[she sighs]

It's so troublesome having to watch my back at all times. And me without my artes. . .

[alienated]

[Cocking an eyebrow at the word "artes."]

You fight?

[spinatalltale]

Hey, I'm a witch. Any witch worth her salt can hold her own in a fight if she's got her malak artes and Guardian doll on her!

[alienated]

[...]

I don't know what that means.

[spinatalltale]

. . . oh brother. . .

Magic! Consider it magic! A specialty in fire and water magic!

[alienated]

[LOOK where he's from they just straight up call it magic.]

Oh— That's cool. [Genuinely.] Wish you still had them here so I could see them.

[spinatalltale]

Hey, you and me both. I'd probably blow our Chiefly overlords into smithereens with them.

It'd be one heck of a show.
