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?]

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...?

Yeah...

Look, I don't want you to think I'm trying to throw her under the bus. But in the line of who needs to stay safe, we've gotta be further up. We can't protect anyone if we're dead!

It was just a suggestion...

I know...sorry. I just don't want anyone else to get hurt.

No--! I don't want that either, no.

I know.

[puts a hand on her shoulder?]

...Sorry. I didn't mean to seem like a jerk.

[seems comforted by that, maybe?]

It's a difficult time...

Yeah... B-but, means we can look up from here, right?

What do you think will happen...? Would Mother leave us without a Prime? No, no, definitely not...

Even if She does...we'll do what we have to do, because that's what we have to do. We don't need a prime to unite us if we unite ourselves, you know? So--just don't worry about it, okay?

[continues rambling half to herself, not really acknowledging Junpei yet] One of the only things I remember...and it's no longer true...no...but, Aristophanes is still Aristophanes. This is still my family...

[what

who are you talking to

why are the cute ones always crazy]

[sometimes a girl just needs some monologuing to put her thoughts in orders okay]

Ah... I'm afraid I wandered off...yes, wandered off, just a little...
