So... what, you think they were working together? Like Luna and Newt?

[bakaomi]

I don't know. It might be less working together and just more... wanting to watch your own ass by not pissing off someone who could out you.

[catraclysm]

I guess... Luke seemed pretty convinced that he was just messed up by someone else's power, but...

[ but luke has a widdle bias ]

[bakaomi]

Hm... well, Zoe was a Love follower, and it kind of seems like Guy was hit by Hopelessly Devoted? So it would make sense that she used her power on him to make it easier for us to figure out he was her killer.

[ except he did a really fucking good job of hiding it ]

... but if that's the case, it'll mean he still chose to kill her and Jude on his own.

[catraclysm]

... Yeah. I don't get it. He only switched to Cunning recently, right? And I don't think Cunning would've asked the newbie to prove himself by killing two people.

[ like. she won't put him above "by killing", but, two is? a lot? ]

[bakaomi]

I don't think so. Cunning is the kind of person who wouldn't say no to people killing for him, I think, but he also wouldn't really try to make people do it. It makes him look too bad.

[catraclysm]

Right, he's still trying to win over people with his own merit. [ and not... ambition crying about it ] So... why those two in particular?

[ jude and zoe have... nothing in common ]

[bakaomi]

Maybe he... thought they would be easy...?

[ squints ]

[catraclysm]

Zoe, maybe, but Jude was a fighter, wasn't he? There's a bunch of easier targets still here if he wanted that.

[ she is nice enough to not mention, anyone, directly, ]

[bakaomi]

Yeah... he makes less sense.

Although he's also one of the few people who has real medical knowledge that goes beyond knowing how bandages work.

[catraclysm]

So... usefulness? I guess now that Jude's gone, the few people left with that knowledge are...

[ ... ]

Entrapta and a robot.

[ BAD ]

[bakaomi]

...

A robot who seems to be...

[ connor was acting differently than he normally does, right? takaomi wasn't imagining that, right?? ]

[catraclysm]

Having an emotional breakdown?

[ but like? in a robot fashion? ]

[bakaomi]

Yeah.

That's concerning, right?

[catraclysm]

That he has feelings, or that he obviously has no clue how to handle them?

[ the. the latter is clearly worse ]

[bakaomi]

...

It's the second one.

[catraclysm]

[ look? it could've been racism ]

Yeah. The whole "I'm not feeling anything because I'm an unbiased robot" bit was kind of messed up.

[bakaomi]

... I'm mostly worried of how he might act in future trials.

[catraclysm]

[ hm ]

... How do you think he might act? It's not like he snapped and killed Guy.

[ which ngl she did think he might when they marched him out like that. ]

[bakaomi]

I'm not saying he'll definitely snap or anything, but... sometimes people do some shit when someone important to them is gone.

[catraclysm]

Yeah, I guess.

[ there's a definite grimace there because wow great now she's relating to a robot, cool ]

So what do you want to do about it? Just... watch out for what he says next trial?

[bakaomi]

It'll probably be better to talk to him before then.

... although my only real connection to him is dead now.

[ rip ray ]

[catraclysm]

[ ....... ]

Please tell me someone else is close to him besides Entrapta. Yu's friends with like, everyone, right?

[bakaomi]

I can try asking Yu, but he also seems to be having a pretty bad time.

[catraclysm]

[ GOD, YEAH, SHE KNOWS, BUT HELL IS REAL. Sighs ]

... So you want me to ask Entrapta to talk with Connor. Is that it?
