[it's absolutely for childe, you caught them.]

Let's remove the latter two and focus on the former. How is a paralyzed woman any different than a man who has been rendered useless and defenseless in a fight?

[just remember that greed is a prosecutor and will always go down the rabbit hole of hypotheticals.]

[toesies]

[immediately:]

The paralyzed woman didn't wave her metaphorical murder dick at me and my friends.

[probe]

You're missing my point. But I suppose it hardly matters now. I gave you that ability knowing this would happen. I was only curious.

[he could argue, but there's a few sparks of exhaustion there. this trial aged them regardless.]

[toesies]

[She shrugs?]

Hey, being objective does not come easily to the undead. [She can't not be biased.] But we don't have to talk about this. We can talk about anything else. Literally any other subject.

[probe]

Fair enough. [like. really. that is absolutely a whole other can of worms there. they stir their soup a bit.]

...what would you like to talk about then? I'm still not any better at small talk than I was weeks ago.

[...it's sort of a joke but also sort of true.]

[toesies]

[Sometimes... it just be like that. They will get the sense that she feels a little bad now, but not enough to be apologetic.

Anyway—]

Let's go back to the original original topic: Sloth's meth.

[probe]

[a groan.]

A terrible idea. I'm unsure of how much was ingested but the withdrawals were not exactly the best to witness.

[sloth your tweaking...]

[toesies]

Oh, my god.

[SLOTH, YOUR TWEAKING... She is absolutely clutching her pearls over here.]

The pot I'm okay with. The opium— debatable. But where the fuck did the meth come from? Don't tell me there are more drugs on the next floor.

[probe]

I should hope not. [they. think about this. no, probably no meth.] Rest assure it isn't available to anyone else. I think the opium is more than enough.

[it's obvious they think that's already too much.]

[toesies]

[She sighs in relief, slumping back a little.]

Thank god. Did no one ever teach them the dangers of hard drugs? Someone should sit them down to watch 80s ad campaigns. Now, those were brutal.

[probe]

I think you'd have to teach them what an ad campaign is first. [haha.] I believe every now and then even we're susceptible to a bit of peer pressure.

[toesies]

Oh my god, there was peer pressure involved too?!

[greed this is like every suburban mother's nightmare]

[probe]

[they wouldn't know, they've never had a mom.]

Have you ever spoken to Sloth for any length of time? I feel using the word "pressure" is a very loose definition. A minor suggestion, and they're likely to do whatever they feel like doing.

[toesies]

Apparently not enough. [Once or twice... She truly dropped the ball there.] God, so many people are willing to fuck themselves up for clout.

[probe]

...Mrs. Hammond I hate to tell you this but I believe several of you are already a bit "fucked up" to begin with.

[toesies]

More fucked up than normal. With hard drugs!

[probe]

It will wear off, won't it? [greed has no idea how drugs work.]

[toesies]

As long as they're not totally hooked...? I think?

[greed you are a lawyer go work in drug court]

[probe]

This was only the first time that I'm aware of...if we intervene early, it should be alright.

[no, never.]

[toesies]

Worst case scenario... we study up on our disturbing PSAs.

[probe]

As if I don't have enough to be doing. I may leave that in your capable hands.

[toesies]

Whoa. That one wasn't backhanded.

[probe]

I told you, the people that earn my compliments know when they're given.

[toesies]

Aw... You know, I recently learned a word that fits you.

[probe]

If you call me a tsundere I am taking my soup and leaving.
