((Bast sniffles mightily before speaking, sounding like he's about ready to burst into tears))

Bastie heard what you said! I'm a good little cat. I didn't hurt that Saint Just person! I don't even know him. I didn't kill him. I've been here longer than he has, and I never hurt anyone.

((There's a very quiet sob before he starts up again.))

You know, you whine like that and everyone's just going to think you more guilty.

[rose_rapture]

How dare you?

Make an observation? He isn't helping his case.

[rose_rapture]

There is no case.

Look, Bast. You don't exactly have a stellar record for telling the truth in the first place. Yes, it'd be mean if Mr. St. Just was lying about you, but I don't think Mr. St. Just is lying.

See, Mr. St. Just came from another place before he came here - another place where all the worlds met, okay? So maybe there was another you there that did do that to him.

Case as it is, you can probably do that AK stuff anyway. You have to understand why you're highly suspect.

[thelestrangest]

He is lying. There's no such thing as other words. It's all a trick of the squirrels.

AK stuff? What are you talking about?

What do you know about me anyways? Were you here last winter when I helped people make it? Have you ever spoken to me beyond a few words? What do you know about wizards or witches from my world? When have you ever asked me about anything?

I've been here for ten months, and you're taking the word of someone who just arrived here over me. How do you know he's telling the truth?

[faroresson]

I didn't say words. I said worlds, and don't try and say that they're not real, because the very fact I'm talking to you makes that a lie.

I don't know much about you except that you're prone to casual lies. I asked you several things when I first came here. I'm not saying you've not done good things before. I'm not even blaming you. You're just suspect.

I don't. Just like I don't know you are.

[thelestrangest]

They are lies. The butterflies and squirrels make them up.

I don't want to be a suspect. You don't know anything about me. You don't even have any authority here.

Bast, I know you told me before that you had done things and hurt people. I'm going to ask you and hope you answer me honestly: did you hurt Sheik?

Re: Private // Unhackable

[thelestrangest]

That was years and years ago! I was in Azkaban with the Dementors from the graveyard for fourteen years for it. Wasn't that enough?

I didn't hurt that Saint Just person! I never even met him. I didn't hurt Sheik either. I helped him make that cold storage thing.

Re: Private // Unhackable

[soldier_puppy]

And you helped me with the flowers. I didn't forget that, you know.

I don't think you did it. For all anyone knows, someone might have gotten a hold of a Death materia up on the scavenger hunt.

Re: Private // Unhackable

[thelestrangest]

I don't care anymore. I think you're all stupid and ugly. I hope you all freeze this winter. I'm not putting Warming Charms on anyone this year. Don't think I don't see all the nasty things all of you are saying about me and how dumb you think I am. You're all just ugly Muggles.

But you're not just a little cat, are you, sir?

Re: [Voice][Private // Unhackable]

[thelestrangest]

I'm not talking to you. This is all your fault. I never did anything bad. I helped all of you last year and this. I see that doesn't count for anything.

[Voice][Private // Unhackable]

[theeyeoftruth]

My fault? I accused you of nothing.

You had to go and be stupid and die. Then that Just person said I killed him, and now people think I killed you! It's not fair. Bastie is a good little Ti-Ping cat.
