[ IN HER LITTLE PRISON ... LYING DOWN ON THE GROUND LIKE A CORPSE... there is a disembodied hand and he is marking off a day on the wall ]

[kumeyuri]

[well. okay.]

... Taking a nap?

[murderofwoes]

[ EYES SNAPPING OPEN ]

Meditating. I have to entertain myself somehow, and Thing does poorly in captivity.

[ the hand is shaking like it's been longer than 12 hours ]

[kumeyuri]

I see. [rip thing.] Well, I'll cut to the chase. What exactly is going on here?

[murderofwoes]

I happen to be stuck inside a very poor excuse for a jail cell because I've spent the past seven weeks not taking any of you seriously.

[ well. that is part of what is going on here. ]

[kumeyuri]

Uh-huh. So, what's this about you replacing Ariel and infiltrating? Where is she, anyway?

[murderofwoes]

Oh, that's actually a competent question.

[ don't sOUND SURPRISED AND IMPRESSED but she'll actually... be almost helpful because of it... ]

Ariel was one of the three original people tasked with helping at the healing center as a guardian angel. Since no one but the original god knew about her existence, all I had to do was replace her.

[kumeyuri]

[thanks mary.........]

What's her status now, if not doing the job you took over?

[murderofwoes]

She's out of the way.

[ well now its just ominous ]

[kumeyuri]

[uh.]

Did you kill her, kidnap her, lock her away somewhere, or...?

[murderofwoes]

You do remember where people end up when they're killed in heaven, yes?

[kumeyuri]

Right... so, is that a no to killing, given that they're struggling to find her over there?

[murderofwoes]

If I'd killed her, she would have wound up at the healing center with my coworkers, where I was replacing her.

[ she's saying this like uruha is particularly slow... sowwy ]

[kumeyuri]

Hey, for all I know, there were other places you could've sent her to.

So, where is she exactly?

[murderofwoes]

Not by killing her.

[ as for where

well she just stares ]

[kumeyuri]

[stares back. well okay.]

The recent messages—you're one of the people speaking? [he's going to make a guess which one she is. if he's wrong, he's wrong.] Whose favourite are you?

[murderofwoes]

[ tilts head. sure she'll give that tho: ]

My employer's. Though my coworker situation has always been rather dire, so there's not much competition there.

[kumeyuri]

And who's your employer?

[does not expect her to answer this.]

[murderofwoes]

[ looks down at thing.

thing makes a jazz hand ]

It doesn't work when you're the only hand.

[kumeyuri]

The hand is your employer?

[murderofwoes]

Yes.

You've caught him.




The [ THE LONGEST SIGH EVER ] handtity.

[kumeyuri]

The... handtity?

[BAFFLED.]

... He can talk?

[murderofwoes]

[ Thing is gesturing wildly now. ]

Of course he can talk.

[ speciest. ]

[kumeyuri]

Oh, okay.

[WELL SORRY. he looks at thing.]

So what's his game of hide and seek about?

[murderofwoes]

[ there is the longest pause ]

Well? Tell him, Thing.
