[She nods, a heavy look on her face, though she looks grateful for the touch.]

He was wounded so badly... It must have been hard for him to fight back.

Emet-Selch, too... His arm was still broken.

[skyagain]

... He said he was finally gonna get it fixed after trial.

[ WHAT A WASTE. ]

[mustbepurged]

[rip emet's broken arm, two days away from retirement]

I wish we could have helped him sooner...

[skyagain]

With limited healing, wasn't much of a choice.

[ and now it is...Too late ]

[mustbepurged]

[She nods... but she looks a bit regretful.]

Um, by the way... have you received many letters? It seems like some of them had portions that were hard to make out...

[skyagain]

Mm. Two? Mostly legible.

[ mostly. ]

Think I got more their shopping list than anything useful.

[mustbepurged]

What do they need? Some of mine mentioned first aid supplies, but... they're too big to send.

[skyagain]

First aid, tickets...

[ a long pause ]

"Alcohol that isn't wine".

[mustbepurged]

[... She smiles a little at that, despite everything.]

So they really can use tickets!

[skyagain]

Mmhmm. Explains the request to leave them theirs. They don't have a way to make 'em.

[mustbepurged]

Good... maybe I'll try sending some after the trial.

[skyagain]

How many have you got now?

[mustbepurged]

Four. I could give at least one away and still have enough to buy something expensive.

You?

[skyagain]

... Six. Jumped up a lot this week.

[ sometimes cyoa... pay. ]

Need to buy a first aid kit first, though. [ he gestures at his throat. he forgot bandages and they are all exposed and it's hilarious ]

[mustbepurged]

[estelle doesn't think it's hilarious, she just looks kind of worried.]

That's a good idea... I ran out of supplies, too.

[skyagain]

You can do a task for more if you don't wanna spend tickets.

[ he's fine!! he waves his right hand dismissively. totally fine!!! ]

[mustbepurged]

Oh! [Her eyes light up.] I should ask about that. It's probably much faster to do a task than to earn more tickets.

[skyagain]

Yeah. The four who can't do healing can give out supplies instead. Aquarius, Cetus, Vulpecula and Orion.

[ imagine if it's lepus and not cetus. i don't remember. their names. but before i forget again; ]

They said you got a tape yesterday? We did too.

[mustbepurged]

[i'll pretend he said the right one either way]

Yes. Did you get to watch a copy of ours? Bradley showed me your group's.

[skyagain]

[ yes but it was estelle's when lup borrowed it so i don't know how timelines work so he just nods a little ]

Yeah. Glad Bradley showed you.

[ ... having to walk to the security room every time is hard ]

[mustbepurged]

I wonder what's going on, with everyone on the other side... It sounds like they've gotten themselves into a dangerous situation. I sent a letter asking about it...

[skyagain]

We thought maybe... You know how they used to say Virgo would eat people if they pissed them off?

[ they may still say that. in general. nom. ]

Maybe they found the other one.

[mustbepurged]

The other... what...?

[skyagain]

[ ... wait he's going over what he's told estelle and kind of squinting ]

The-- original Virgo. [ frowning ] Like how... I told you they were acting, right?

[ did he? oh he's too exhausted to remember anymore and sounds a little sheepish ]

[mustbepurged]

I... well, sort of...

... There are two Virgos?
