[ me like: the flowers depend on who shows up. they can be nice flowers. he drops the chain on cetus’ head ]

I guess I do.

That statement at the end of the execution — was it the truth?

[guestservices]

[they accept this chain!

with a tilt of their head, slight enough to not disturb the flowers,]

You mean about your hostage?

[ashenvaliant]

[ stunning. a model. wow.

very cute they are trying not to disturb the flowers too. ]

Yes, about the hostages.

[guestservices]

Then yes, that would largely be correct.

[ashenvaliant]

Great.

Not unexpected, but not exactly welcomed either.

[guestservices]

I imagine something welcome would've been more of a surprise to you.

[ashenvaliant]

If it had ended with "thanks for playing, your hostages are at the door and please collect an autograph from our actors tonight on your way out" I would've been genuinely floored, yes.

[guestservices]

Unfortunately, the reality is what it is for all of you.

[ashenvaliant]

I'm aware. Someone wanted to up the stakes then.

[guestservices]

So it seems.

[ashenvaliant]

[ he sighs. ]

Fine. It’s not like we can ask them to un-announce it. I’ll just have to be prepared for people running around killing without influence — at least I’m used to that.
