[ well now i'm just curious ]

It does.

[ something lights up behind his eyes. synapses firing. ]

I wonder if it's related to...

[ shuts himself up. unsure!!!! miss camille, can he talk to you still?? ]

...

[cocks her head.

Then sighs.]

It's fine, Caelus. I get it. I wouldn't trust me either.

[ he clenches his fists tightly at either side ]

I don't want to live that way, not able to trust my friends.

[ yeah, miss camille. and this is before the party. imagine your cruelty. ]

Do you want me to be honest with you?

[Honestly feeling worse about this than killing Cloud.

She's curious though. Camille turns to face him more fully.]

I'm listening.

[ who would feel bad about killing cloud? ]

There might be somewhere the cult doesn't know about. Somewhere in 'death.' I can't tell you much more.

[ so please don't push ]

But maybe we have a chance at recovering what we've lost.

What?

[She looks to him sharply. Keen.]

...And what makes you say that?

Would you believe I'm the greatest detective that's ever lived and have been wisely keeping that from all of you?

[ not sharp! not keen!

...alpha, but not those right now ]

[

Remembers the pitchfork holes.

Deadeyes.]

Caelus that doesn't answer my question.

[ shut up (no that was actually a clue for all of you--a clue that caelus is stupid) ]

Well, maybe it's just a feeling I've had! The last place I was at, the people I thought had experienced 'death' hadn't really, even though I witnessed everything. So--so I was thinking what if it was like that here! And we could imagine our friends were still able to be saved.

Or something like that.

[ another clue: caelus is a bad liar ]

But what exactly gives you the idea it might be the same?

People are dead Caelus, it isn't right to give anyone false hope.

I'm not giving anyone false hope! I found something! In the trash!

[ thanks for giving me the opportunity to use new icons ]

[oh my god

At least he's cute]

What, then? Spit it out.

Last week, I found a torn page from a journal or notebook. It indicated--it might have been from that Nehan-Death guy. It suggested stuff like what I said. I'm trying not to tell everyone while still making sure enough people know.

[ ... ]

And if some part of you is still possessed and you use this against us--even if you don't want to, I believe that!--I'll feel bad for being the one that made it happen.

[She listens. Slightly more interested now, incredulous in a new sense.]

I'm not...I wouldn't know if it's a separate thing listening. [Let's put that aside. Camille shakes her head.] Was it just speculation? Or...Caelus, do you still have it?

[She wants to see it, but at the same time knows she's not the right candidate. First off, she knows fuck all about necromancy. Secondly, she's the pariah here. Not to be trusted.]

Was it something they were working on to combat the ritual? Who all have you shown it to?
