[unconscionable]

All right.

Let's not talk about that night. It wasn't my finest hour. Will I see you at the Moot Hall?

[ Just gonna pretend this is set like. the night before or something. Yes. ]

[ludomania]

I thought you wanted to hear all about it.

[ but fine. ]

No. I won't be there. Not interested in hearing what they have to say. Or if they're going to lock us in cages again.

[unconscionable]

They'll have Wanda on trial. You won't come say how trustworthy she is?

[ludomania]

[ their wandaween thread is still ongoing, but he saw her doing some weird shit! ]

She can handle herself, I imagine. She's pretty capable.

[ probably the first time in his life he's passed the chance to play the hero. ]

[unconscionable]

It's not a fight. We need to stand behind her, as a community, or she'll be the next one in a cage.

[ludomania]

[ ... ]

You know, you're right.

I'll be there. I don't want to see that happening to her. To any of us.

[ and yet, he won't be there. ]

[unconscionable]

Good man.

[ludomania]

[ yeah, that's him. for sure. ]

How do you know Quentin?

[unconscionable]

We're both boarding house insomniacs. I recommended him for clinic work, back when that shit felt like it mattered.

But you can ask what you actually want to know, which is why he brought me the All-Sight.

[ludomania]

Yeah, why? He knew about your magic?

And who's that other guy?

[ the man who had his hand on Quentin like he owned him when Quentin actually belongs to him? ]

[unconscionable]

He heard me say I might be able to use it.

[ In his network post. ]

Turned out I was wrong, it was as untouchable to me as the Duchess is. But I wanted House there in case it started to transform me.

[ludomania]

I know House. The other guy.

[unconscionable]

Danny. He's a good kid. Always so supportive of Quentin.

[ludomania]

Always? Never heard of him before.

[ why did Quentin choose him over Felipe? ]

[unconscionable]

Huh. Are you friends with Quentin?

[ludomania]

Yeah, we're close. I was with him when his friends were stuck in the castle.

[ looking back now, Danny must have been one of them. ]

He's important to me.

[unconscionable]

Yeah, Danny and Dwight were in the castle with me.

Well, not with me, because they were dead, but you know what I mean.

[ludomania]

Yeah.

You were alone.

[unconscionable]

No, I had a collection of incredibly handsy strangers and Dragana's collection of torture implements to keep me company.

[ludomania]

I've had it with that fucking bitch.

I can't believe how they can worship such a cunt.

[unconscionable]

Absolutely. Doesn't matter how well I got on in this town, the moment she disapproved I was on the outs. She's a dictator who lives in luxury while they toil and yet they're all devoted to her. It's sick.

[ludomania]

I bet she'd even make a hat out of Mateus if he happened to cough in the wrong place. Haven't they seen enough of the injustice?

Fuck her and her cursed eyes.

[unconscionable]

People were right, that we had to give them back. We shouldn't have gone to get them in the first place.

[ludomania]

She didn't give us much of a choice, did she?

[ he never wanted to go, but then he stared into Billy's eyes for one second too long. still weird, when he thinks about it. ]

Is that what you told Quentin?

[unconscionable]

Imagine thinking I could tell Quentin shit.

I helped keep it and him safe until he decided what to do with it. He waited until it was established it wasn't useful to any of us, and then got some diplomats he knew to take it back. Diplomatically, I guess. Looking forward to really reaping the bounties they've surely negotiated for us.
