week three - saturday post-trial - hiro

[arockstar]

[It's a little jarring to find Hiro chilling in front of the fun house, but it's not like there's any leftover remnants of murder, so... It's fine. Yaaaay carnivals?

Newt just plops down next to him.]

You good?

Man, right? I was surprised by that, too. Last week at least made some sense and seemed more like an accident in some cases, but this time? I don't know what to think.

[He sounds a little bit too peppy? But that's Newt for you.]

[Buddy...]

This time it sounds more like a bunch of people independently felt like they were going to do whatever they wanted and chaos happened. Or, in Rachel's case, she doesn't know how to do her research and got somebody else killed.

[Hm. Sure sounds bitter! There's a pause...] You think Ludger's gonna be okay?

[arockstar]

Hm. Yeah, you're right about that. Few parts of the story feel connected this time.

[Which means they'll likely never know what happened. Annoying.]

I... I mean, I hope so? It sucks, what happened to Julius, but he'll be fine at the end of all this. That's what Ludger should be focusing on.

I'd say "hope we have better luck next week" but I'm also holding out for a miracle we won't have so many murders to solve.

[Stop! The! Killing!!] ...but maybe you're right. It should be what he focuses on, but it still kind of sucks to lose people you're close to. Now that we're three weeks into the game, the deaths are gonna hit us harder. Especially if they're people we know well, like family.

I guess what I'm saying is I'm worried about what he might do after this.
