FIFTY-ONE souls » what martel doesn't say

[martelandmany]

[On the camera, she looks much better rested than she did a week ago. She's not 100% yet, but good enough, and her voice sounds much better as well.]Good afternoon, everyone

[What. What is that. No way.]

2/2

[It's hard to tell if that person is Kadaj or Yazoo, but does it really matter either way? Yuan sure doesn't think so. They're both killers and he's sure Yazoo wouldn't hesitate to kill Martel just like his brother did.]

What is he doing there?!

[filtered because fff, let's discuss yazoo's hiding here publicly]

[martelandmany]

[Oh boy is he upset. Martel quickly picks the journal back up, aiming it away from the remnant. Somehow, her voice is level and confident:]

Resting, until the effects of his death have subsided.

[Upset is an understatement. He's halfway to the door so he can go kick Yazoo out. Not that Martel would let him, but it's the effort that counts.]

You don't bring serial killers into your house like some sort of stray animal!

[goldenpathredux]

Another of mother's little boys?

[martelandmany]

[Now that she realizes the journal's flopped open, she'll quickly be lifting it so Yazoo isn't in view.]

Perhaps.

[goldenpathredux]

Be assured, I bear him no ill will. [No good will either though]

Hello Martel.

[martelandmany]

It's been quite a while, Leto.

[heteropennae]

... That man doesn't look so well.

[martelandmany]

[As with the other two, once she realizes Yazoo's on camera, she quickly lifts the journal so he's not in view anymore. But this one doesn't seem to know the Remnants, which is good.]

He'll be fine, given time to rest.

[heteropennae]

I suppose I've little choice but to take your word on it.

I should thank you, Ms. Martel. The Welcome Center has been a valuable resource to me.

[martelandmany]

I assure you, he's in the best hands he can find.

And you're very welcome. Might I ask your name?

[enrappigtured]

[Peony is aware of everything that's going on, and he knows about Martel's death, but he's been too caught up in his own affairs to properly check up on her. Obviously this is unacceptable, and he intends to fix this immediately. Unfortunately (or fortunately?), he is too late to catch Yazoo sleeping on her couch.]

Complications?

[martelandmany]

Indeed. I... [An embarrassed chuckle.] I seem to have forgotten how to cook. [Let's ignore complication 2, for now. Peony's such a nice guy, he doesn't need to get involved with that.]

[enrappigtured]

[WHAT? NOOOO.

As aghast as he is, Peony is still relieved that that's all she's lost.]

Does this mean I can never taste your delicious cooking again?

[martelandmany]

[I KNOW RIGHT AAAUGGHH.

She deflates a little at his words.] Well, I mean... I've heard of others regaining what they've lost in death.

Looks like complications is putting it lightly.

[Voice: 90% filtered] that icon is creepy

[martelandmany]

Such is a tendency of mine. I suppose it comes with the territory, working with New Feathers and whatnot.

[Voice: 90% filtered] Really? I'm not seeing it.

[lookslikeajob]

You do seem to take a lot on yourself.

Martel, are you... [He pauses a moment, as if unsure how to ask this properly.] Safe?

[Voice: 90% filtered] I dunno, he seems really pale and intense. Like he wants your firstborn.

[martelandmany]

Unquestionably.

You-... You recognize him? [She's got a little more to say on the topic if Clark is involved (AKA if he is Superman), but she isn't gonna talk about it to someone who isn't involved.]
