our prime is deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeead

WHO: Aristophanes
WHERE: the theater
OPEN/CLOSED: closed
WHEN: late night day 3/early morning day 4

[It wasn't ordered or even really discussed, but after the evening's discovery, the family finds themselves gathered backstage, around a table laden with bottles, leftover cloth from the Borja luncheon, and Honeythorn corpse.

Now what?]

...Should we eat the body?

... That seems disrespectful somehow...

[also she's pretty well exsanguinated I don't think there's much fluid left in there for you guys]

Didn't know if it would grant us her power...

Then, should we patch her up? No one has to know she's really--you know...

Idiot, everyone saw her dead.

But if they saw her alive later, obviously they'd have to rethink their thoughts! --Look, we've gotta do something, we're totally gonna be a target!

No one comes back to life here.

...right?

How...? All the blood is gone...

There...might be other fluids in there somewhere, I dunno... Just seems like we should do something so no one else can get to her and do something weird.

...Sorry this is kind of a crappy welcome, by the way.

We could hide her...somewhere safe. Forever. Until next year. If I had the materials...and ate a bit more...I could do that. I could make a safe place.

Huh...

...She's already dead, though. She doesn't need safety as much as we do.

But what if another family steals her body, and does something to it? Something terrible, something awful...no, they shouldn't, they shouldn't be able to...

What if another family is trying to murder us all? That seems a little more pressing!

That's not an excuse to treat her body badly, is it? Besides, we could use scrounging supplies for a place for her as a cover for scrounging supplies for walls and so on. You do want some fortifications in place, don't you...?

Who are you?

Ah...I just arrived...earlier today. Just now, even. But I'm Aristophanes too...

She looks good enough to eat... but it wouldn't do us any good.

Wouldn't have done the others any good either but they didn't know that. Probably.

[He totally has some blood on the edge of his mouth he can be trusted.]

What do we do, then?

Well, we can't let them have her, that's just wrong.

But maybe we can... stash her in one of the buildings.

I guess...

Do we know who did it?

Heheh, well, it's gotta be a champion right? The way she's torn up. Or a family with access to weapons that can do that.

Don't know how much that rules out but it means someone's targeting us either with a grudge or because we don't stand out as too strong.

We'll just have to show 'em, right? That artists know desperation too well for it to be a handicap.

[He pulls out a pair of broken scissors and twirls one half on each hand with a flourish.]

So...we should attack someone?

It was Uruk.

What? How do you know? Their champion looked so surprised...
