☼{009}{ic, open} the men cry out the girls cry out

[So, things have gotten even weirder, with the witch and... everything. Plus, with North Dakota gone, Cody hasn't been feeling too great, not like she was to start off with. Although she knows South better than she knew North, Dakota Territory was Dakota Territory, and she was just as much a part of it once as she ever would be. It's been bothering her since the murders, and the image of the four bodies positioned like grotesque dolls can't seem to be shaken off. Quite plainly, it just sucks.

But, even so, she wanted to help solve what happened as though it could somehow stop anything from happening to anyone else. Though, walking aimlessly through hallways doesn't seem to be the way to do it, she does it anyway. Sure, when she was growing up, she saw more death than she would care to admit, but this seems different.

Talking to her might jolt her back into more of a 'we can do it!' mode, but for now, she's just bummed out, and it's not hard to tell.]

[ He finally finds the flask and drinks it. ]

... Yeah, the lack of idea is what is gettin' me too... But I don't want to see more people die in order to piece things together.

Are ya by any chance listenin' to what the witch is sayin'?

[ Partially because he himself doesn't remember. Damnit. ]

Yeah. I couldn't stop North from gettin' killed, but at least... Ah, what the hell am I sayin'?

[]

No, I didn't pay attention, really. She... or he, or whatever the hell it is pissed me off too much for me to care.

Oh... [ He twitches inside a bit, damnit. Now he wishes he could collect some more information, or at least remember little details. Oh the problems with a very fractured memory. ]

... It's still really hard to put together on the why, ya know?

I wish I didn't have to say 'I know', but yeah, yer right.

[]

Well, we'll get it eventually. Somehow.

[ He gulps, nervously commenting while twisting his hands. ]

I just don't like the thought more people have to die in order for us to figure it out... Who knows, maybe this might be it, ya know?

No, I have a feelin' this ain't it. And trust me, I hate when I have that kind of feelin'.

Well it was worth lightening the mood. Not that ya could have a lightened mood when someone is killin' a bunch of people but...

[ He shakes his head, as if to avoid an oncoming headache. He has self control. ]

Good try, though. Only thing optimistic I could think of is that maybe we'll catch 'em sooner than later.

[ He twitches, shutting his eyes for a moment - silent for about a minute before he speaks again. ]

... Somehow, I don't really think so. Many of these people here are selfish. They'll let it fester because they have nothing to do with it.
