[ she hadn't actually thought she'd be lying about that, but it makes sense. ]

remember what ren said about her crew yesterday?
the hair collecting thing
and then they all banded together like they were scared

today when ren so just happens to not show up misty's suddenly accusing her boyfriend with messages from the dead

yeah, guess what

someone showed me proof that she poisoned ren

she planned this whole thing

[powerhungry]

[ Ah. And the feedback loop closes. Clever, is what he thinks, but what he types is: ]

That's quite serious.

[ A beat. He changes the order of the following questions before hitting send. ]

Is Ren alright?
And the proof — could you share it, if need be?

[longlegs]

i haven't seen her but i talked to her
she seems really bad

yeah, i can
but i can't share who sent it to me
i don't do that

[powerhungry]

I'm glad to hear it.
Look after her. She's already made herself a target, and I doubt the girls will let her actions go.

Don't worry, I wouldn't ask for a name.
Just the proof.
With it, you have something more solid than anyone else in this wretched game.

[longlegs]

i should just bring it to everybody
put her on blast
i just don't fucking know how
they're going to think i'm the one looking for revenge

[ But is there still time? ]

[powerhungry]

You underestimate the strength of a whisper.
Show the proof to whoever you trust, whoever you think would be swayed. If you bring it to a public forum, now — if it's only you speaking up against them — they'll do as you say and call it revenge, brush away the allegations through strength in numbers. You've seen them do it before. But if many mouths speak the truth, they won't be able to quiet them all. Their credibility will shatter.

Are you willing to wait, to see it done?

[ Her heart's about to leap out of her chest, a bird agitated in a cage. In all the conversations she's had with Saber, Devon, even Neon, none of them really talked to her like their leader — Great Dane. She thinks of him now, finally. How he'd tell her that it's too late to think about saving them, it's time to think about how to really get back at Misty.

After a lot of typing and deleting, ]

i'll wait
i'm gonna tell the people i trust

thanks silco

[powerhungry]

Thank you, Cellar, for bringing it to my attention.

Don't be startled when I cast my vote.
I'm working toward the same goal as you are.

[longlegs]

[ Oh no. ]

who

[powerhungry]

There's only one option, if I want to pass safely into the hornets' nest.

[longlegs]

silco don't
please

[powerhungry]

[ He can't account for the flash in his vision — a girl with violet hair, Jinx curled up in the rain. ]

They'll do it again, next round, if they aren't stopped.
You know that as well as I do.

[longlegs]

[ she's panicking. they're going to take saber and devon and danny's going to walk free to kill someone else and there's no one she can talk to nothing she can do—

so nothing is what she does, leaving the conversation to go vent her emotions for the nth time. ]
