week 3, sunday
[ a few hours after the execution, jay will return to his shared room with jake (and dirk). jay decided to give him some time on his own in case other people wanted to comfort him, or if dirk was going to make out with him or something.
look he has no idea how dirk and jake do the comfort thing except for the fact that it involves a lot of petting, okay. ]
How are you holding up?

How are you holding up?
no subject
I... I'm fi— [But he stops, because Jay is smarter than that and he doesn't deserve an absentminded lie.] ...I don't know. I've never killed someone. Even if she was a fiend...
no subject
[ he pauses, then shakes his head. ]
Do you regret volunteering?
no subject
[His reasoning here, he knows, sounds a little stupid but:] She said she's a hero. I couldn't let someone like that do it, no matter if she could or not.
no subject
[ which is on them, honestly. they shouldn't have assumed. ]

[ he glances at jake. ]
Which, I know, isn't what you mean. What I won't do is vote for someone who doesn't volunteer though. That's how Light got stuck with the role the first week. People voted for him even though he didn't say he was willing.
no subject
No, I— I understand now. I hope it doesn't happen again. I hope we can think of something. But... if I'm alive to vote, I'll give it the consideration it deserves.
no subject
I'm sure there's another way to do this. Everything Mira was talking about wasn't discussed in the rulebook, which means there are things in play we don't know about. That might mean that there are also ways to get out of this situation that we don't know about.
no subject
True. I had that thought, too. But I'm not sure where to start... Craftly won't give us a proper hint after all.
no subject
Because he can't, Jake. Craftly is as restricted in his role as we are in ours. Which is why killing him is stupid.

[ jay is still... so annoyed by that trial, you can tell by his tone and the fact that he can't stop telling everyone he's annoyed at them. ]
no subject
I did wonder that. Even if he has a role, he's still a member of the staff. And... we still would have needed to execute him.
[Which Jake would just like to say that was a terrible execution to force on anyone.]
It's hard to say what Mira's motives even were. When I told her if she really wanted us to consider it logically, if she had meant to help us, the trial when emotions are heated was a terrible idea and she didn't seem to understand it.
no subject
[ she was definitely a clever one. ]
I think... she took something from the victims of the previous weeks, and hid it in the disposal room. She said she already collected six of something, and before last week, there were six people who died.
no subject
[That said:] Jay, do you... really think she was telling the truth? That she worked alone?
no subject
[ after all, why point the spotlight onto your associates. ]
Even if she did those specific murders on her own, I'm sure there were people working with her.
no subject
[So he let Mira ham it up without pushing it.]
no subject
[ if anything, the real soldier could have done what akira and yukina did, and taken someone aside to tell them their role privately if they didn't want everyone else to know. ]

[ maybe. who knows. ]

[ he sounds very sure of this, at least. ]

[ ignoring the pda ]

[ not that he'd be alone, since dirk is still around. ]
no subject
[He's not sure how anyone would get him or Jay or Dirk but he doesn't want to put it past anyone, either.]
no subject
[ maybe. he thinks it, but doesn't say it. ]
no subject
[He really would not tell on Dirk or Jay for killing in self-defense so you know.]
no subject
[ TECHNICALLY THAT'S NOT MURDER........ ]
no subject
I mean, it would be rather difficult to kill with a nailgun unless I was aiming very precisely, so it's excellent for that, true.
[He approves of this.]
no subject
You don't really have to kill your attacker if you're able to avoid it. As long as you can incapacitate them, then maybe...

[ don't break into anywhere, jake!!! ]

[ jay probably shouldn't even be scolding him. his group went in prepared and they still got fucked up. ]

You can forgive yourself since it won't be your fault. I'd still be annoyed though.
no subject
Well, I'll try to spare you any further annoyance.
