It wasn't, no.

[frustrated!]

[mogger]

So we either have her and Ashlyn, or.... could Ashlyn have done it?

Ugh, shit! Why is it always like this?!

[undread]

Ashlyn, or someone we know nothing about.

[mogger]

Crap. We're gonna have to figure it out. We can ask the dead. I don't know if Pesto and War can say how many monsters are here...

.... Um, Laudna.

[ big mess of feelings ] I know who killed Ichiban.

[undread]

[oh. hmm. what?]

Who was it?

[mogger]

You remember how Ichiban was killed? And that his heart was ripped out?

.... It was Lucas. I'm sure of it. Because, Thursday.... I was basically Lucas.

[ haha ]

I see.

[well. she feels very, very angry, but still concerned with yuffie enough to not let it boil over.]

When you were made to kill people, it was using that... same method.

[mogger]

[ yuffie's emotions are a mess, she's kind of rambling through it ]

Yeah. They.... Kate was so sick. The church agreed to treat her, if I did work for them. They said it was "purging demons". Karlach and Izutsumi were with me too. They gave us "medicine" every night. [ hence why she had withdrawal ] Even when I tried to.... think otherwise, I couldn't. It was all a fog. Lucas had medicine here. And I know his sister was really sick. I know she used to be sick. I know the church took him in. It couldn't be anyone else.

...Ah.

[frowning.]

I saw a memory of his, before he died. He was being given "medicine," but something about it was very wrong. He was very frightened before getting it, but his emotions changed after. He told me it was because he was being treated for anxiety. [he really did just say it was xanax.]

[ lucas i swear to god ]

[ yeah, there is a bit of a horror slipping through ]

The thing they gave us... took away all our pain. And kind of our thoughts, too? Everything felt so fuzzy. Sometimes peaceful, sometimes just... floaty. I couldn't concentrate on anything except... doing what they told me to do. I even tried to snoop around. But my mind kept blanking. It was... freaky.

Sometimes there'd be other side effects too. I'd forget who I was, who everyone else was.

[ part of why her mind was so ducked up once she got out of cyoa ]

[well. she will just pull yuffie into a hug, her feelings heavy with worry for her.]

How awful. What awful people.

[mogger]

[ just burying her face in laudna's shoulder, though it might be uncomfortable for them both ]

The worst. They... used us. Me, Lucas, Karlach, Izutsumi... as freaking lab rats. Why are there so many of these assholes out there?

[ she doesn't mean to get quite this emotional, but swallows back an angry sob ]

The way we killed people... it was the same as Lucas did. The heart.

[undread]

[it's okay. she'll just hold her for a moment.]

So they must have used him, too.
