[extremely funny because i just set up a pc for her to do the same with someone else for other reasons but honestly? she loves this idea. sunflowers are cute.]
I think that's a nice idea. Give them a peaceful ending somewhere else rather than dying alone. Where do you want to send them off? [we have. a large beach. so she means is there a particular point of the water pestilence things is best.]
[thank god because this entire island's cursed. but she nods with a little "mmhm", holding out her hands. she will take some of the flowers if they'd like.]
Looks clear to me. [either way let us head for that spot...]
[interesting note...she will keep that in mind as they come to a stop.]
Not always. But I like to just to wish for a safe journey to whoever's departing, or to ask for a blessing for them. Depends on what you're hoping for and what you might believe in.
[listen after dealing famine "i'm an atheist" famineson and war "i'm not here to make attachments" warson, this is a different change. either way, she nods because to her, that counts. after a moment she crouches down to set the sunflowers in the surf, one by one to embark on their own individual paths.]
Let the winds caress you. [be free, little flowers. you're so much more fortunate than those of us stuck here.]
[scawwy: burial (of dog) at sea...she's up to her full height again since i assume pestilence is standing again, hands folded behind her back as she grins a little.]
Did you want me to jump right into my questions, or will you at least tell me how you're holding up after all of that?
We sure are! [sweats. oh boy are they, she hates it. she's letting her gaze linger on the sea.]
And since we missed the other half of the chimera...there's nothing stopping them from acting again unless we kill them first. [wonderful.] Be honest. How badly were we doing at actually finding the third monster?
You guys weren't really doing that bad. I think it was mostly just... I think whenever someone is onto something, if someone else questions it, a lot of the time the immediate response is to put it aside for a little bit and return to later. Which isn't the wrong thing to do, but since you're dealing with so many people talking and having their own ideas, it gets easy to forget to return back to the earlier thing.
[ hmmm. ]
Like the glasses piece! The person who originally looked at it thought to readdress it later, but so much happened you guys didn't get to until pretty late.
That's true. We couldn't place what it might be right away, so we ignored it for the easier, bigger pieces. Even though that little piece was the biggest part of what helped us find and press Erin. [a little annoying on their part, but it is what it is.]
But that happened with Boothill, too. It took finding those wood splinters on him...or even Pickles' fur on Nona's boots. If it's going to be like this every time now, we'll have to get better at following through.
[...still.]
Can...I ask some questions about the chimera? We caught Erin, but we missed the other person. What happens to them as a monster now? Do you think they're going to merge with someone else to make a new chimera?
They'd likely just operate on their own now, like how Boothill originally did. But... they'd very likely turn up again, if they don't...
[ get killed first. murdergame... ]
In general, I'm not the biggest fan of giving definite answers until I actually see it happen first. [ it is the scientist in them. ] So, we wait and see, but just prepare.
Right. The instinct to kill is high, so it becomes kill or be killed again. [which is. fun.] People aren't going to rest easy knowing someone's out there. It's a matter of finding who...and preparing in case we're wrong.
[because she also would like a definite answer before suggesting they murder somebody.]
Lucas and I were thinking of putting a message on the board to see if people would be interested in teaching and learning self-defense. Even if it might just benefit the monster among us, if it could help even one person stay alive longer...[she shakes her head.] It's always easier to prepare for an enemy we can see. It's harder knowing it's someone I don't want it to be.
... the last thing anyone wants is to have to face off against someone they care about. It makes it harder to raise your hand.
Well! Your idea is good, I think. It'll at least help some people feel less scared, if they can defend themselves better. I know... a few don't want to be burdens.
Yeah. And that hesitance might just make it a moment too late. [which is what she's worried about. but hm...give her a moment to peer at them quietly.]
Are you one of those people? [we already have one dead npc, she is concerned if the other three can defend themselves and/or don't feel like burdens for not being able to.]
she's definitely watching with interest! and when pestilence creates the swirl she even claps for them.]
That's...really cool. [aerith has her own specific brand of magic and yet she really does think this is impressive. no conduit, no special connection to the world, just pestilence themselves.] Is it just with water?
But it could be just enough for an advantage and I think that counts. After what happened to Death...I think most people are going to be more willing to make sure the rest of you aren't in any danger though. Or at least the best we can.

Sure thing. What're we doing? [does it matter? no. she's all too eager to help.]
no subject
[ they're sunflowers, specifically. ]

[ they point at a spot. it is specifically somewhere that MURDER EVIDENCE wasn't found on, which is probably on purpose. ]
no subject
Looks clear to me. [either way let us head for that spot...]
no subject
Thank you for this. We can set them out together.
no subject
I'd like that. [over the sand...] But you don't have to thank me. It's not many people who think about the life in everything.
[every creature and plant has a soul blahblahblah.]
no subject
[ they stop walking once they get to where the waves brush against the sand. ]
People usually pray at moments like this, right?
no subject
Not always. But I like to just to wish for a safe journey to whoever's departing, or to ask for a blessing for them. Depends on what you're hoping for and what you might believe in.

Then... I will hope that they drift safely to their next destination.
