[nyoooom. there's no teleportation, but they're their very quickly! and they just approach her easily.]

What's going on?

[toesies]

Remember that confession thing from last week?

[Hi, Lust. Unfortunately, the most Sheila can greet her with is a tight lipped smile with how sweaty she is.]

Well, someone told Harrowhark that they planned to kill. This week! And they got a power from one of you guys to do it. We're going to try to find them before lockdown on Thursday, but if we can't... I need something for damage control. Can you help?

[Just in case it, you know, ends up being her.]

[probe]

...oh that's bad...[no shit, lust.]

I can try! You used the one I gave you last time, so you have space available, I guess. You'll just have to use it wisely. What kind of damage control are you thinking though?

[toesies]

[Lust your understatement...]

I guess... self-defense? She did, in retrospect, say something weird last week. And making her talk like a pretentious asshole is not going to help if worst comes to worst.

[probe]

It'd be distracting for a little bit but I can see you point. [lust thinks this over...] I think I've got an idea that'll help if anyone gets too close. Once you download it, you can activate it whenever you want for two weeks.

[sheila will receive a notification on her phone with an attachment called Zeus. when she downloads it, she will see the following: deliver a powerful electric shock upon being touched.]

It should at least buy you enough time, I hope.

[toesies]

[She will fiddle with her phone for a second to download the attachment and read through the text, and then let out one big, huge sigh.]

Thank you. [Does Lust mind if she holds their hands? Because that might be happening.] If you ever need anything, or someone's being an asshole, you tell me right away! I mean it. You made it up to me when I brought Monokuma back. Now I want to make it up to you, too. Especially if this ends up being necessary.

[probe]

[nope! handholding is acceptable.]

I know. A lot of us know we can count on you for just about anything. I just really, really hope it isn't necessary. When we talked last week that wasn't permission for people to go after you!

[huff!]

[toesies]

[She smiles a little, nodding and just continuing to hold these hands.]

Me, too. Although, it would be extremely ironic if someone double killed me the week after that conversation.

[probe]

I don't want irony, I want my favorites to quit dying! [whiniiiing.]

But that's true, too.

[toesies]

Yeah...

[She sighs, nodding.]

It sucks. I like making friends! But waking up in the morning to find up some asshole killed them is horrible.

[Why can't the murderers go after people they don't like? Smh.]

[probe]

No kidding! I don't think there's anything worse than not knowing if the last time you see someone is the last time forever. That's the thing I worry about with all of you.

[toesies]

Seriously! Though, in my case, it's more like the last time I'll see them breathing— and not sliced up like deli meat. That was not a happy epiphany.

[probe]

Even if people can't stop killing for whatever reason, why can't the deaths be normal? That's the worst part is that they're over the top and everything.

[toesies]

[This is not quite what she means, but she nods empathetically.]

Maybe they're indulging by being over the top? That's a good fucking question.

[probe]

Maybe. We know what the robot's problem was, but I never did find out why Law decided killing Ashiya was a great idea. It was a dumb move though.

dreamwidth my notifs...

[toesies]

He was thinking with his dick instead of his brain? I can't believe he killed Douman over a stupid hunch...

[Whining, just a little. Her cannibal clown!!]

[probe]

People do crazy things when they're...in love? Or whatever. That's what makes a place like this kind of dangerous if people let it get the better of them.

[toesies]

That is true. I know I would do anything for love. [A beat.] Though, maybe with a little more thought behind it.

[She says, like she didn't impulsively sign up for the indulgence center because of love.]

[probe]

Maybe Law thought he really did think it through? I dunno. I've never met a pirate before.

[toesies]

Me, neither. Not that type of pirate, anyway.

[probe]

[shrug.

but then...they seem to think something over.]

So let's say this person did come after you. What's your plan?

[toesies]

[... She taps her chin.]

Usually, when I have kill someone, I ask my husband to distract them so I can catch them by surprise. So, I guess, whatever plan I come up with would involve a distraction and a surprise? [A beat.] Minus the husband, of course. God, taking care of the distraction by myself is going to suuuuuck.

[probe]

Well...you have a lot of floors to cover and you're really smart. I'm sure you'll think of a very good plan that they won't ever catch on to.

[toesies]

Aw... Thank you. It's so sweet of you to say so.

[At least someone thinks she's smart... Truly, the best avatar.]

You know what would be funny? If I pretended to be dead. Not regular-me dead, but dead-dead.

[probe]

Like pretending you were a victim to get the jump on somebody? Ooh...that could work. It'd be totally unsuspicious, too.
