Channelknight Fadran Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 40 minutes ago, Random Bystander said: "Who's the Queen?" "She's--" Janice's words caught in her throat. Down the street, Trace looked equally speecheless.

Down the street, Trace looked equally speecheless. "Ah." Shade had seen that look before. This was hard to explain. "You don't have to explain right now. It's obviously complicated." Quote She'd know how to read people well enough to tell if they were lying. I assume she's be able to do this.
Condensation she/her Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 On 2/28/2021 at 7:33 PM, Channelknight Fadran said: After some hesitation, Trace appeared to everyone else. Cadenza glared.

Condensation she/her Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 1 hour ago, Channelknight Fadran said: "Cadenza?" Janice asked after some hesitation. "What's wrong?" "Well, who else? Trace, duh."
Channelknight Fadran Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Just now, Condensation said: "Well, who else? Trace, duh." "I guess that... makes sense." Janice's thought process seemed conflicted. She looked over at Trace. "You said you... needed our help?"

Channelknight Fadran Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Just now, Condensation said: "Why are you offering her help?" Janice shot Cadenza a shocked glance, then calmed her expression. She gestured at Cadenza to come over to her.

Channelknight Fadran Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Just now, Condensation said: Cadenza stalked over, legs straight. "Cadenza..." Janice said, voice low. "I know that she's... y'know, Trace, but... that doesn't mean we shouldn't help her."

Channelknight Fadran Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Just now, Condensation said: "No, I don't. But she deserves everything she's getting." "Cadenza!" Janice glanced over her shoulder, then leaned forwards and looked her in the eye. "Cadenza, you don't know what the Queen's doing to her. You don't understand what she's doing--and you shouldn't. No one should. It doesn't matter how bad someone is; nobody deserves to go through that." She turned dipped her head and closed her eyes. "I... can't believe you'd try to justify someone else hurting." She looked back up, a tear running down her face. "You were fine when I hurt you! I've hurt all of you so many times! How is it okay that I hurt you, but not okay when anybody else does? Cadenza, I almost killed you! I--" her eyes fell on the running scar from the dagger in Cadenza's arm, and the last of her words died in her throat, replaced with sobs. She collapsed onto her knees, buried her face in her hands, and cried. @Matrim's Dice @Vapor @Random Bystander

And you didn't hurt me, she did." Cadenza sat next to Janice.

Mat he/him Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 "I don't think it's a trick, Cadenza." Maddy said. Janice was too sincere for that.

Sometimes, life gives you two bad choices. You don't know what was going through her head. Don't judge her."

Random Bystander she/her Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Just now, Condensation said: "Don't you start! You kidnapped Janice!" "Which was one of those situations I was talking about. Do you have even the slightest clue how dangerous some of the criminal organizations are? I was given a bounty, and I didn't know who had given it. If I ignore stuff like that, I could end up dead. Or worse, my younger sister..." Her voice cut off in her throat, and she forced down tears. "Besides, you should be glad I was the person who kidnapped her. Do you really think anyone else would have let her go? Much less been as gentle as I was!"
