W3, FRIDAY

[divineimpulse]

Are you safe?

[shaft]

[ He very much considers ignoring this, because something about this show of concern feels so ingenuine after reliving his last memories of Fódlan so many times this week.

But information is information. ]

Something happened in our dorm.

Did you find anything?

[divineimpulse]

[he replied. even if it was for information, that's... positive.]

We found Mollymauk's body without his head, impaled with a golden sword.

[shaft]

[ ................................. ]

Where.

[divineimpulse]

In the orchard.

There was a set of footprints and a trail of blood going from the body toward the stable, and another set from the garden to the body.

[shaft]

Did you find the head?

[divineimpulse]

No. It wasn't anywhere we looked.

[shaft]

I don't get it.

That wasn't necessary to kill him.

[divineimpulse]

For something this gratuitous, there has to be more. Something we can't see yet.

It doesn't make sense otherwise.

[shaft]

It occurred to me that we could've used one of those mind-altering coupons on Rupert. See if it would've made him more able to talk.

Did you get a new one today?

[divineimpulse]

I did. I don't think I'll be using it.

An "Affection Altering Spell".

[shaft]

I see.

Not as helpful.

[divineimpulse]

Not at all.

And yourself?

[shaft]

[ ... ]

Sensory deprivation.

[divineimpulse]

That's a powerful ability.

I hope you don't have to use it.

[shaft]

We'll see.

[divineimpulse]

Hopefully, we won't.
