It was. Reminded me a bit of home. Probably better than any time I've had it at home, even.

[Cecile, in the form of a bandicoot, is perched on his shoulder.]

Need a hand with the cleanup?

[perfectdistance]

'm glad it was that good for ya.

[Disce sits neatly loafed in a corner.]

Sure, I won't turn down some help.

[voltadomar]

[He'll walk on in, roll up his sleeves, and start helping out with the dishes, then.]

How have you been? I hope your wounds aren't giving you too much trouble.

[perfectdistance]

I managed to talk to one of the watchers. It's not as bad as it used to be. Helped the healin' along some.

[voltadomar]

That's good to hear. It's been a rough weekend.

[perfectdistance]

Two groups were out and so were the Celestials... [What a WEEK.] Were you able to check in on them?

[voltadomar]

Yes. I took Suriel inside to treat their wounds. They told me a bit about what happened.

[perfectdistance]

Talked to Baraqiel a bit.

[Sigh.]

Answers are gonna be hard to get for all of us.

[voltadomar]

Yes. Seems like we can't simply ask the "angels" about their intentions. And this conflict only seems to be getting worse.

[perfectdistance]

We went from one body to three.

How d'ya think we're doin'?

[voltadomar]

Not very good.

We avoided the worst case scenario, which is a triumph, but we completely failed to conclusively solve any of the three murders.

[perfectdistance]

'm not even totally sure which evidence is tied to which crime.

[voltadomar]

[Glancing away, because. Yeah...]

It did get a bit muddy. I still need to go back and re-organize my case notes to make sense of it all.

It's madness, being tasked with solving three murders simultaneously.

[perfectdistance]

I'm gonna guess you usually only have to deal with one at a time?

[voltadomar]

Mhm. And with at least a few days to solve each one.

[perfectdistance]

It'd be nice to have that much time to work with.

[voltadomar]

Frankly, our clearance rates aren't that good even with that much time. Solving murders isn't easy, even on a good day.

[perfectdistance]

Doubt anybody's gonna make it easy for us.

[voltadomar]

Probably not. And at this point, anyone who kills next should have a pretty good idea of how we'll be investigating, and may be well-prepared to mislead us even more.

[perfectdistance]

Or they might take out the people most likely to connect the evidence.

[...

Don't like that, actually.]

[voltadomar]

....... Hm.

[He just kinda stares at these dishes he's washing for a bit.]

[perfectdistance]

[...

Nero washes the dishes more intensely.]
