december commentary and whatnot
I know the timeline is slightly hinky what with november being king of backtags
No it’s good i was going to ask bc whether there were consequences would affect Malcolm’s reaction to her next crime.
took me awhile to work it all out but yes!! he very much did want to have A Real Consequence and he would have taken action without having to be like. talked into it
I am chewing on this as I tidy up for dinner!! Thank you
Malcolm did stay back until Jedao talked to him; he did not want to go in assuming nothing would be done.
So he wanted to see what he would do before he said anything too forward.
yeah - I saw in his thread with walter that he was like "once she has a conscious warden I hope something happens and I WILL follow up if not" so!! as long as he had a few days to get his ducks in order (and John didn't tell him immediately after they got paired, but I figure that's also post-event hinky time) he would have initiated
perfect
Yay for Jedao…
Zack would have ICly handled it but bc I died for like two months, he had to be coma’d
Zack would have ICly handled it but bc I died for like two months, he had to be coma’d
he would also believe in you zack
anyway I for SURE wanted to slide it in so it didn't get buried in the amnesia plot repercussions
I was going to ask before i tagged anything over there but i had a crazy few days so thank you for sorting it out
I have industriously posted a thing
Jedao: getting the weirdest feeling he should be sipping black coffee for this conversation
Justine POUTED and he is rocking unimpressed dadcore about it
Pouting is so her...
meanwhile also jedao
"I STOPPED my society from using ritual public torture as the #1 punishment for any dissent deliberate or accidental, that means I'm totally unaffected by it, yes?"
"minor sensory deprivation seems like one reasonable notch above a slap on the wrist y/n"
Walter, unused to being the reasonable one: BUDDY
on the other hand Justine is such a weird masochistic libertine that they're kind of on the same wavelength for What Counts As Extreme And Surely It's Not This
Malcolm also agrees it’s not extreme. He had some ideas in case they needed any and this one is acceptable but relatively mild.
jedao has vague thoughts that next time he might escalate to color blindness, but in fact he's going to get suckerpunched by the amnesia plot and go in a totally different direction
Watch Sebastian be even more offended than Justine over this punishment.
Offending Sebastian isn’t, like, hard or anything.
Pfft, fair point.
Still!! Taking away someone's sense of taste is... genuinely the worst thing he can imagine.
"Relatively mild" excuse you it's torture.
And all you have to do to avoid it is not assault people. ...Or get COVID.
Jedao, who lived for four years with every single thing tasting disgusting: I think she'll be fine
anyway since it's backdated to heck we're hand waving bits of it and justines not making an announcement or anything, but in sure she'd complain to Sebastian if you want to have a thread of him arguing with Jedao about it
She would complain to Sebastian, yes!
She's keeping it quiet because she doesn't want John to find out because she doesn't want him to feel responsible
She's also gonna do a hunger strike because DRAMA but it won't last once she gets sad eyes from John. (she's just telling him she's mad at Jedao) So Sebastian would know
+1 I'm available if Sebastian is mad at Walter now or anything
Justine if you can't do the time, don't do the crime.
you can't babygirl your way out of everything forever.
She damn sure can. It's worked for 31 years
good luck sweetie!!!
"UM. The whole point of nobility is that society allows them to babygirl themselves out of any consequences." - Sebastian, in complete earnest
(Walter is fine. He's not the one okaying this awful punishment.)
Jedao, sipping black coffee: have I mentioned I'm a regicide
This is why Sebastian and Justine are terrible great together!
Also, if there is an arguing thread, I MUST have a link
I think I have a suitably P-A approach in mind.
I'd also popcorn gif the heck out of all of this
Malcolm, a member of the aristocracy who couldn't babygirl his way out of anything even as a baby .... No.
Alright I think Walter has said everything in his two Jedao threads!!
o7
Jedao: I am going to drop every POSSIBLE bombshell to make Fives like me as much as possible!!!!!
Adorable grandchild: deployed
hugely culturally significant brownie points: earned
Fives: i already loved you and i'm very happy
Jedao: okay whatever. be cool about it >_>
absolutely absurd how Fives turns him into an overcompensating sulky 14 year old
