End of the World: [Video, Midday, Day 12]

[kazeninaru]

[There's a fully transformed Sailor Uranus on the video feed, everybody. Did you miss her? She missed you.... There's a backdrop of the ship wall behind her, and she appears to be walking briskly down a corridor. She is looking pretty unhappy about life. Or maybe just some of the people in it.]

Has anyone else died since I died? Where is Chime? Has been stopped?

[Since Chime is the only murderer she knows about, for sure, that's obviously the one she's asking about.]

[The connection flicks on and off and on and off before coming on again. Someone is still quite the novice at using the communicator. When the Warden speaks at last, it is broadcast to anyone who is monitoring rather than going to Haruka alone - possibly yet another user error. Elissa has a dull throb in her voice and it sounds as if she has been weeping.]

If our beautiful doctor is not yet dead, he is close to it. Twas an attack by one of those fiendish bone creatures.

A-Also, Thor is gone. And... and some blue-skinned dragon man.

[Video still]

[kazeninaru]

Blue-skinned dragon-man. That's Chime.

[There's satisfaction and annoyance in Haruka's expression and tone. Satisfaction, that he's not killing anybody else; annoyance, that she can't ask him what the hell his problem is. And then kill him, herself.

Then again, he might wake up, the same way she did.]

He is the one who killed me.

[voice - open channel still]

[djinnigenie]

[With a heavy heart, Elissa quietly begins her confession.]

I killed him - with my blades.
I threw Thor into the tentacles of a rift monster.

[The Warden's voice breaks on the mention of Thor's death.]

I poisoned Inara.
I poisoned the food and, thusly, the Oracle.

I await judgement in the cargo bay encampment with the rations I took for my own before the others were poisoned. You will find me near the doctor's shelter.

[voice - sob threadjacking]

[galacticheroine]

[sry Haruka Shepard can't ignore this when she's got the audio open]

Wait, what?

You're the one who's been doing all this?

Re: [voice - sob threadjacking] TOTALLY okay. Thus the 'open channel'. :D

[djinnigenie]

[The voice on the other end draws a ragged breath before responding.]

Not... all of it.

[The pause after those words is expectant as if there might be more to follow, but there is not.]

[Video in here, too!]

[kazeninaru]

[Haruka stops running to stare at the screen, and both the responses, before she speaks up again.]

Why? And why are you giving yourself up?

Re: [Video in here, too!]

[djinnigenie]

[Confusion would radiate from the communicator, if that were possible, but there is more grief in her voice than anything else when the Warden replies.]

Giving myself up is the right thing to do. I...

[Her throat doesn't work for a moment.]

I am still puzzling over the answer to your other query.

[Video]

[kazeninaru]

[Haruka's surprise turns swiftly enough back into anger, this time directed at Elissa. She starts moving again.]

Better puzzle faster. I want an answer when I get there.
