Well, we wanted people to think there was something going on with us. Though it seemingly did the opposite of what we were intending. Sometimes making a distraction makes it all the more evident. I hardly blame you for that.
Xie Lian said to me that...he could never understand putting one person above everyone else, and therefore put everyone in danger as a result. But I...I never wanted that. I never saw it as that.
[He stares morosely into his drink.]
I just wanted to keep him safe on his own, and keep everyone safe at the same time. Have my cake, and eat it too, I suppose.
The heart wants what it wants. Even if its irrational. Especially if its so. [...] I simply just want to protect the ones I love with every inch of my being.
Not organized, but it wouldn't be as disorganized as "we don't care who particularly dies, just send everyone into a weekly battle and hope for the best" sort of thing, don't you think?
I don't know if I interpreted the symbols completely correct. But the bread symbol could mean either nourishment or sacrifices. When I suggested nourishment the Watcher who was with me said that didn't make sense.
Angels are made of Dust, correct? They likely can't just kill us. So they make all of kill each other, to collect the Dust to keep themselves surviving...? But it has to be done on a weekly basis...

If Bradley had a role that was putting him in danger... that's how I would've reacted.
no subject
[That's...]
[He's actually surprised.]
You would...?

I've never heard that sayin' before. But... don't think everybody has ever gotten everything they wanted.
Doesn't stop us from wanting it.

[It's not like he threw Kotetsu in prison or something.]
It's just... Hard here.

It is. Anyone could be at risk. There seems to be little rhyme or reason for any of the ones who perish, every week.
no subject
The people who kill are being manipulated too. Either side seems randomized.

The war needs "sacrifices" accordin' to one of my first week questions.
no subject
Sacrifices suggests rituals. It would make sense with that. The more Dust accumulated...
no subject
Then... what's the ritual?

[ He's pretty sure he's never seen a fish as a symbol. ]
They're made completely of Dust. I think that was in a note somewhere.
no subject
[Hmmmmmm. NO JESUS FISH]
...Actually. Has anyone asked if the dead have daemons?
no subject
[........]
We didn't see 'em durin' the masquerade.
[What happened to them?]
no subject
Remember, they did say that on Alisaie and Van Ziek's adventure, that Lord Regent attempted to attack Alisaie's daemon....
