I just hope we can do better the next time the cult tries something... It's good to mourn, but it would be better to have less casualties in the first place.
[ He sighs, running a hand over his face. Tired. Just absolutely tired. ]
For the amount of information we didn't have from the beginning, we managed to do well by figuring out that particular mystery so quickly. It's a really short amount of time to do that, especially stuck as we were. Everyone's organisational efforts helped...
But the implication that there's still another around worries me. I spoke with War last night too, to try to get more clarification on the rituals, the problem of the monster affliction...
Like that if it ever became necessary, if we had tied on names, then both would enter the pyre.
[ And the fact that that can happen at all and presumably, both would die, rather than a more favourable option like the monster gets nuked but both people survive, kinda sucks. ]

Insights, uncertain. Clarifications, a few.

And both of those people would die, in exchange for the assurance that neither of them would kill again.
no subject
Though at that point, calling it an "assurance" feels more like justification.
no subject
I would rather try to find another way.

We might not have bodies, but there's other things we can leave in their place, I think.
You'd have to get crafty, but.

Camille mentioned that too. I think it's a good idea. They deserve to be remembered.

Rocks, a couple of sticks... shouldn't be too hard.
