week 4 - mary - sunday, post-execution

[Newt makes himself scarce after the execution. He ducked out as soon as it was over, and it's not until a few hours later that he turns up again. He's hiding in the comic shop, sitting on the floor in one of the more out-of-the-way aisles, turning his tape recorder over in his hands. Well, in one hand. His left hand can't seem to grip it quite right, and his palm is wrapped tightly in black fabric. He's looking a little pale, too.

Hm! Weird!]

Yes, you will.

[She takes a deep breath.]

A lot of my friends turned against you this weekend...so I guess I just feel like I should've done a better job showing them how good of a person you are!

[But then, snapping her head up!]

They're all dead now, though, so it's fine! I chose your side, and it's the side that's still standing now! There's no reason to be upset! You're right!

But if they'd killed you...I'd have had to hurt them. So why can't we all just stop? Just stop hurting each other? I guess I don't understand...I just want to be friends!

[McLosin it.]

People disagree?

[She looks at her wrist in his hand, considering.]

Do you think...we'll all be able to forgive each other for these disagreements? For all the hurting...and all the lying?

[As long as he's not yelling at her, it's...fine! She's fine with it!]

I think I get what you mean. It's hard for me to understand, because of my entry fee and because I'm not human...when I see people yelling and hurting each other, it just looks like they really hate each other. Sometimes I don't know what's real.

But we're running out of time, aren't we? What if we argue so much and so long that we use it all up? I'm scared.

[A FEAR.]

[personal profile] withsadness 2018-04-09 08:27 am (UTC)(link)
You really think that's the best idea?

[She frowns.]

I thought that one was just...silly. Why make a Reaper Game if we aren't supposed to get all the Reapers?

Jacopo and Izaya...my friends, and Reapers...

[Mary hangs her head, her stomach crawling.]

They were trying really hard to help, I know they were. They both told so many people important things that they found out through really hard work. I didn't know about Magnus and Taako and Setz and all the others, but they trusted me. If there were two groups of Reapers and one was there to help locate the rest, maybe killing them was a bad idea. Doesn't that just leave us blind?

So you think that everybody's against each other?

[Mary's mouth turns into a wide frown. Clearly, she doesn't like what she's hearing.]

Isn't that the kind of thinking that will make the Composer like us even less?

If we want to cooperate with them, we'll have to keep them alive.

[Otherwise, the game will be over before they have the chance.]

It sounds really hard, if the Reapers keep killing no matter how we cooperate.

[She's nine, so, putting it in terms of good and bad is just easier for her. Still, it's a lot for her to really process. She's trying!]

And the others don't because they're trying to stop the nice-bad Reapers?

...Akira?

[Where did that come from? Who...Akira? Who mentioned Akira?]
withsadness: (101)

[personal profile] withsadness 2018-04-10 08:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Opens mouth. Closes mouth.]

Newt...do you know who all the Reapers are? Why did Izaya tell you all of that if he thought you killed Jacopo?
