[ There really is a hand!!

marvels at it. and then remembers what she's here for. ]

I am... sorry about that. But perhaps if you could indulge me for just a little while?

It seems you are under suspicion of colluding with the Entity. Do you deny such an accusation?

[murderofwoes]

[ thing waves at being acknowledged in thoughts. ]

And if I did deny it? You would break me out of this confinement?

[ she says it like she does not expect it ]

[trifocal]

[ she waves back, a little meekly... ]

If I believed you to be innocent in this matter, then of course I would seek your release.

... Are you?

[murderofwoes]

Yes. I'm once again a victim of profiling. All I've done was my job.

[ she is deadpan no matter what she's saying ]

[trifocal]

What exactly is your job?

[murderofwoes]

I have a contract as a guardian angel.

[ gestures at her bloody halo ]

[trifocal]

Well, yes... but it did seem as though some of your duties were different from the other angels that we know. Would you tell me more about those?

[murderofwoes]

I was to host bonding activities every second Wednesday. I thought something was amiss when no one showed up to this week's, but I was also hopeful you'd all realize how pointless they were at this point.

[trifocal]

Huh? Pointless? Er, and this task was given to you by...?

[murderofwoes]

My employer.

[ SO HELPFUL ]

[trifocal]

And that is...?

[murderofwoes]

[

sighing ]

You're all quite terrible at this. I'm already caught. You can assume I work for "the entity".

[trifocal]

[ ??? ]

Y... you admit it?

[murderofwoes]

Honestly, that it took this long for anyone to figure out is frankly embarrassing. I wasn't being particularly subtle.

[trifocal]

Oh...

[ I did not suspect anything... ]

... Erm. So, who is this entity? What is that you do for them?

[murderofwoes]

I was letting them in. Obviously.

[ she could be more useful. unfortunately she is not ]

[trifocal]

How were you able to do that? And... why?

[murderofwoes]

I was inside. I let them in. It really wasn't difficult.

[ the why just makes her stare ]

Why was I helping, or why did they wish to be let in? Because the latter should be quite obvious by now.

[trifocal]

Well... let us start with the former. Why did you help them?

[murderofwoes]

Because I work for them.

[trifocal]

But why work for them? Did you know what they would ask of you, and what the consequences would be, when you took your contract?

[murderofwoes]

I'm not the kind of person who takes on a job without knowing what it entails. Though I've been employed by them far longer than this project was ever even in talks.

[trifocal]

What? Really...?

What did that work entail before, then?

[murderofwoes]

An inordinate amount of babysitting with quite frankly terrible coworkers at first. I suppose I'm something of a personal assistant now.

[trifocal]

To the entity?

... Who is the entity, really? Why do they wish to sabotage our hopes of redemption?
