[he's standing a little ways away from everyone else, his emotions are very tightly repressed -- as blank and even as a page.]

We have to kill her.

[do they tho]

[giving him a smooch on the cheek.]

I agree. We won't let it go to execution; that's all we can do now.

[...]

She might try and fight, so we're gonna have to be careful.

We need to do it without her expecting it. I think that's kindest, anyway.

...She'll be suspicious of me, I think. She knows I'm a fighter -- and an Exorcist, like Yuu.

But I can help fight her off.

If you distract her, perhaps I can do it and surprise her.

Me too.

[ distraction yuffie... ]

...I guess so.

[nods tightly at this]

[ ... ]

Let me know if you need me to do anything. She knows I know, but I don't... I'm probably the last one she'd expect to actually try something.

[he looks at Totty at this,

...]

Are you sure?

Yeah. ...I mean, I can't guarantee I won't blow it by getting my ass kicked, but. I can do it.

[She says nothing. But she catches his eye in a potent gaze.

He's repressing, but she's letting it loose in a biblical flood.]

[he looks back at her, emotions still in a choke hold.]

It's either that or keep her alive for the vote.

I know. I agree.

[She nods, slowly.]

I just hoped it would be different.

[he looks away at this]

...Yeah. Me too.

[ looks up at him, a bit more guilt leaking through, then flinches and looks away ]

Beginning of trial. Before anything can happen. Like Lucas -- quick. Clean.

We can try to make it quick, but the monster will definitely expect it.

Right. Maybe there's items or powers we can use to subdue her?

I should be less useless by tomorrow. [ she hopes ] I'll be backup. Bait. Whatever you guys need if it comes to that.

I don't have anything that would help, 'sides the sleeping pills.

[and she's definitely not eating those!!!!]

I only have an item that makes someone wired.

Uh... hm. I have one that makes someone hate their friends and love their enemies. Do you think that'd work on the monster? Like, if it sees everyone as an enemy... might be risky if it just made the Kate part of her hate us, though.

I may be able to help.

[ looks at her and nods ]

If you're okay with it.

[ vibe is "i have no right to ask you for anything" ]
