[ He watches with attentiveness particularly when the fire burns close to her fingers, but goes up to watching her expression when the embers die out. ]

Your own tradition?

[piteous]

[ i forced lowe to be here ]

[ashmark]

[ she's somber. not on the verge of tears, trying to keep things together as best she can. nothing new.

her the tips of her fingers are a little red, but that'll fade quickly enough. she doesn't brush the ash off once she lowers her hand. ]

Something like that.

[ she's probably doing it wrong, but the insecurity feels so minuscule compared to her grief.

she hands him back his lighter. ]

[crucifer]

[ WHAT WAS THE ALTERNATIVE? LEAVE THE GUY WITH THE LITERAL HUMAN-SIZED CROSS AND A POCKET ROSARY OUT OF THE CHRISTIANITY? ]

[crucifer]

Thanks.

[ He pockets that back. ]

No wrong way to grieve.

[westedge]

I mean some people obviously weren't. [ it's sort of mumbled. ALSO STOP HE WOULD LOVE TO NOT BE INSECURE. ] But fair enough.

[crucifer]

Outside of them, anyway. Hopefully knowing what the penance was means people are actually going to do them. Even if you don't actually care, it's not hard to at least talk about them or something.

[westedge]

[ thanks it's not a huge jump from being methodist.

but he will follow along because it's easy enough to do. ]

Maybe not but...you ever think that rule was put in because enough people weren't thinking about them? It's sort of sad to think about. That's all.

[westedge]

You'd think people would care with the amount of chaos our trials are. [ which is just like. part of why he's annoyed with people's behavior. people get so fussed about the dead and then just...kind of stop talking about them. ]

But I know I'm just preaching to the choir here.

[crucifer]

[ Poor Fukuzawa who just forgot. ]

If people want to keep ignorin' 'em even when knowing the price is having to bleed yourself out, be my guest... all it does is get you into trouble later on. Clearly.

[ Poor Hot Mess who basically got scapegoated on circumstantial things and because Gyuhyuk had to bleed. ]

[crimebaby]

[ it's sunday so no more glitching but he doesn't know that ]

'm fine. Ya worry too much....

[crimebaby]

Yeah, well... based on what we saw at trial, some people don't seem too interested in honoring them.

[ a bit grouchy ]

[ohthehumanities]

I worry just enough, thank you very much. [this is not true livio is right]

[crimebaby]

Yer gonna worry yourself into a stomachache...

[ohthehumanities]

[...]

I'm not sure that actually happens?

[BUT HE'S LOOKING AT VASH, INSECURELY, LIKE VASH IS ABOUT TO "UM, ACTUALLY" HIM]

[westedge]

[ listen. it's fine. ]

You think the punishment's actually going to be the same now that people know what it is? [ a pause. ] I mean then again if you know what it is and still ignore the rule anyway then you're kind of just an asshole.

[ but he would hope that after yesterday people would be more Aware of how little things could cause Big Problems. ]

[westedge]

It seems weird. Like...we lose people every week, but that doesn't mean we should be forgetting the ones who're already gone, too. That makes even less sense.

[crucifer]

I dunno, if someone's really a hater, then having to prick your finger might be a good enough exchange for them. Dunno why you would though, unless it's more to spite the rules than to go out of your way to spite every single person who died so far.

[ They have a pretty wide range of deda, you'd have to be such a hater to want to purposefully not remember any of them. ]

[westedge]

There's still a lot of people who seem to think the rules are the enemy here, so. I wouldn't rule it out entirely.

[ ... ]

That. The wording was not on purpose. You get my point.

[crucifer]

Uh huh. If we weren't at a funeral I'd press you more on it.

[ It is still the vaguest attempt at a humour at any rate, because it is funny that Jonas felt the need to clarify. ]

[westedge]

Right, right. Funeral. Have at it Father Wolfwood. [ teasing, even if it's sort of flat and devoid of humor. it is okay. time to remember the dead only. ]

[crucifer]

Man, don't call me that. The count kept trying to do the same.

Not my job title.

[ He's not actually upset, he's just like man... ]

[westedge]

[ he sort of just laughs under his breath, but he lets it be. alright, alright. ]

Blame it on Vash.

[crucifer]

That little shit.

[ OH, HE WILL. ]

wk4 - sunday;

[crucifer]

[ YOU ALL KNOW THE DRILL

JAPANIFORNIA PARK TREE IN THE EVENING sometime after execution, and making. God. Five more crosses Jesus Christ. This park is hella crowded, friends.

Mill about, chatter, pray, remember the dead*.

*Gossip is probably legal since the rules don't say it has to be strictly positively but remember etiquette folks. ]
