undread | mortuary - haunted house meeting

[ This sucks. ]

I don't have a partner. So if that's something we have to consider...

[puts a hand on her shoulder.]

I don't think that needs to be a consideration. And we want you safe. But I'm ultimately... not sure whether dying or remaining here is actually the safer option.

It might be better to send people to that side. Or they wouldn't be writing to the people they care about telling them they ought to die.

I think that'd have to be a conversation to have with everyone, anyway.

[ but yuffie seems to be thinking about something ]

I don't know which is safer, but I do know I don't want to be coming back to another empty home.

...M'not sure. I think maybe the people who aren't partnered have a better chance as our last five.

[or four or three or lms?]

Why's that?

Whoever's left has to go up against the cult, right? I was thinking it might be easier to do that if their lives weren't tied to each other.

[granted lavi is imagining like a final shounen battle]

On the other side of that, people who are partnered have stronger abilities... Though I guess how much that matters depends on the ability itself.

[thinking...]

Yeah. Mine's useful, but it won't do much against the cult...

Mine is useful, but I don't think it would help against the cult either.

Famine mentioned to me that it would be good to have a plan to keep the five survivors safe, too.

If you don't mind me asking, do you have a partner?

[yells i missed this notif]

I do.

[ it happens! ]

That's what I thought. Thank you for answering.

What makes you think that?

[he gestures to what he said to vin]

It's only gonna be five left to disrupt the ritual, or whatever the dead needs us to do... Might be easier if your lives are your own during it.

Are there five unpartnered left?

[

thinks about this...............]

...I have no idea.

I can think of two.

[ One of two. ]

Who is the other one?

...Three, actually. [she didn't forget anis but i remembered another one after posting this.] But I don't know if I ought to say outright.

I know there may be two or three who are... divorced? Widowed?

[ she seems to be internally debating about saying something on her mind.... then decides against it ]

I don't think it's gonna matter if they're partnered or not.

[he looks at her a little curiously, but he nods]

Alright. Then we can figure out the details after this weekend.

[ she mouths "later" at him ]

Right. I'll see what I can get this week.
