SO YOU WANT TO STEAL SOME CHILDREN (Endgame Catchall)

[facultwist]

Welcome to the container for your endgame! This will be the place where you can perform your polterheist (we really love that portmanteau), and where you'll be able to commentate on the final trial!

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!

Yeah, I guess so. Glad you guys are going to get some answers.

[ oops. ]

... What?

[sweetsynergy]

The fuck-?

[Not. Not quite putting two and two together yet.]

[But the expression of confusion on Mari's face seems genuine?]

Uh- this is news to you too, right?

[al_fresco]

[ She blinks once, twice. ]

I didn't know... I never saw my body...

[ Tears well up in her eyes. ]

My parents don't even know I'm dead. Sunny doesn't know.

[sweetsynergy]

[Uh. Awkward. Awkward shoulder pat. Someone emotionally competent please tag in.]

...that sucks. Sorry.

[protomartyr]

[ Emotional competence has arrived! Potentially! If it looks like Mari is up for it, Lottie will reach for her hand and give it a little squeeze. ]

Our friends will figure out what happened. And no matter what, we'll make sure your family remembers you. The real you.

[thatsplato]

[Misty gets really quiet, and looks away.]

[eternalfuture]

[Not even asking, going in for a hug.]

[bellpepperexercise]

What?

[Kana has a similar reaction to the news that she was meant to get possessed by herself.]

Mari, you…said you were helping with a ritual when you drowned. How much did they explain about that ritual?

[al_fresco]

It was... they wanted me to get possessed by the witch, and...

[ She swallows. ]

If I was dead, then I guess... I guess the witch just stayed. I... hm.

[ A small, nervous laugh. ]

Oh wow, I haven't been actually angry in like... fifteen years or something.

[bellpepperexercise]

You’ve got every right to be pissed. I bet her music isn’t even good.

[Just trying to give Mari a window to bitch.]

[protomartyr]

[ Oh, no. ]

Misty and I saw a little bit of the ritual. It looked like death was very much on the table.

[ (Begrudgingly) turning to Misty: ]

Do you remember what the Latin was?

[ Lottie's struggle with learning foreign languages once again screwing her over. Some things never change. ]

[thatsplato]

[Misty’s preening, at first, when Lottie actually speaks to her, but when she hears the subject… she can’t help but scoff. ]

You mean the half-latin, half gibberish nonsense they thought was real latin? I remember most of it. I could do it better.

[protomartyr]

[ Lottie fights so so so so hard to not roll her eyes. She actually succeeds! ]

Exactly. That's why we need you to translate. What did they say?

[thatsplato]

The standard. They were going on about Satan, and the Witch of Rosenblum Hall.

[protomartyr]

Weird. What's Satan got to do with any of this?
