[facultwist]

ICly, the whole heist will take place Monday, while the final trial watch will take place Thursday. For anything not related to endgame, please continue to use the main deadland post!

[ She looks much more put together now...but a nervous tint remains in her smile. ]

It's alright. I'll help you.

[trustheart]

[ Chris’s expression brightens. ]

Thanks Rinne.

[ They’ll help each other. ]

[sweetsynergy]

[At some point once cleanup had begun, Vanity wanders in, a slightly fixed, manic grin on her face.]

Okay! So we're definitely finding out if a ghost can kill whatever the alleged headmistress is, right? Right.

[Her mania takes on a slightly worried l, nervous edge as she continues.]

...no one ghost-hurt in here? Physically? Shit is that the right word- ectoplasmicly?

[trustheart]

[ …Oh, right. Trash they can’t just leave neatly in a pile. ]

No one is hurt, no. And Vanity…I don’t want to kill her anymore.

[sweetsynergy]

[You could leave her in a pile with a good sneak attack, but the "neat" part would be hard even without all these messy feelings.]

What, seriously? After- she fucking killed you for shiggles, that shit's not okay!

[lifegoalsorwifegoals]

[ Where she's tidying the trash, Rinne, does not look up. ]

There are perhaps better ways to solve problems, Miss Vanity, than senseless violence.

[sweetsynergy]

This is perfectly sensible violence, for once!

[lifegoalsorwifegoals]

Because you're a wonderful judge of that, aren't you?

[sweetsynergy]

At this point I think I've done enough of the senseless kind to be an expert.

[trustheart]

...It won't bring me back to life, Vanity. Please. You don't...you don't have to do this for me. You can let me go.

[ She takes Rinne's hand. ]

I've moved on.

[lifegoalsorwifegoals]

[ Ah, she's blushing again... And despite everything, definitely holding back the slightest smug smile. ]

[sweetsynergy]

This isn't about necromancy, it's-

[Hold the fucking phone.]

... seriously.

[YOU WERE GONE FOR FIVE MINUTES-]

[trustheart]

[ Chris blushes, looking away while speaking crossly. ]

Look, I'm not going to help you kill her, and I like Rinne. We're gonna figure out what that means. That's what I've decided. You can either accept that, or don't, okay?

[sweetsynergy]

I don't have a say in your love life any more, Chris!

[Her cheeks flush as she folds her arms tightly.]

Good for you! Genuinely! I don't know why it took this damn long!

[trustheart]

[ Chris grits her teeth. ]

Fine, then! Thank you! Just know that whatever you're planning, I'm not going to be part of it!

[thatsplato]

[and... as if this isn't bad enough, Misty slides in, to give Vanity's arm a little pat.]

I'm still game.

[trustheart]

[ ...Chris can't tell who to feel bad for here. ]

[banishedfromparadise]

Oh my god. This is incredible.

[Vanity's ex and Kana's unrequited fangirl, an afterlife love story for the ages.]

I'm so happy for you two. You both deserve some happiness after everything.

[If it sounds like she's rubbing it in Vanity's face, well. She is.]

[lifegoalsorwifegoals]

[ SHIFTS AND SHUFFLES- ]

P-please don't misinterpret, Miss Dorothy, I-I- I'm just...exploring a little.

[banishedfromparadise]

You don't need to feel bad, as long as you two are having fun!

Chris does have a lot to explore~.

[What does that mean...]

[trustheart]

[ Sputtering. ]

WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN?!

[banishedfromparadise]

[Dryly:]

That you're a complex and caring person who can forgive someone who deeply wronged her, and that you can appreciate all of a partner, including their faults?

[And her tits, Dorothy's teasing eyes wandering down say. Chris is one of the few who can stand up to her in that regard, she should be proud!]

[lifegoalsorwifegoals]

[ haha rinne is nOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT THIS RN ]

[bellpepperexercise]

Exploring, huh?

[Kana can't help but chime in with Rinne's comment.]

Well, we could get evaporated by a witch any time, this is our best opportunity to explore, right? Good for you, Rinne.

[Finally, the turn tables! Kana gets to tease about crushes instead of being teased!]

[lifegoalsorwifegoals]

[ HER FACE IS ON FIRE. ]

K-Kana-chan, please, not you too...!
