SOS?

[dalectable]

I... have never Investigated before, so this is a bit bizarre but... is anyone else still themselves here?

I also appear to be covered in scales and have tentacles in place of hair. I'd appreciate some insight, if anyone has any.

Uh, no. Shit, Vilari, why'd you think that?

[He's not sure whether to be amused or dismayed that that's what her mind immediately jumps to. Maybe a bit of both.]

She's still alive, she's fine. Still fusses over the ship.

[dalectable]

You did say they'd pissed everyone else off. It's not that far a stretch to think they might have been killed for it.

[itsananimalthing]

We weren't all murderers and criminals on that ship. Only some of us. Besides, one of the murderers had a thing for one of them, so, y'know, not gonna let the killing thing happen.

Not to mention they're the only ones who know how to fix the ship, really, and that ship was our ticket to a new life.

[A crystalline bell-like flicker of amusement.]

That does tend to stop people from killing those they'd like to strangle otherwise.

So, was the murderer with a soft spot you?

[itsananimalthing]

Yep. He annoys her more than anything else, but lucky for him, he thinks that's funny. She doesn't so much, but she's been gettin' used to him-- or at least she don't yell at him so much, these days.

[dalectable]

Probably got tired of yelling.
