Who: Ino
Broadcast: Video
Action: If you're on the Three Twins
When: After Robin's "murder"

[ Even if you don't know Ino, it's pretty obvious that she's absolutely furious right now. Everything about the way she's sitting in her chair to the expression on her face screams rage. (There may or may not also be a large dent in the wall behind her. What? It's stress relief!)

But when she's got the communicator set in place and she speaks up to address the other people who might be watching, her voice is controlled enough. At first, anyways. ]

I can't believe I even have to make a transmission like this, but you know what? Apparently I do, because some people in this fleet can't keep their damn hands to themselves! So here goes!

Guess what we aren't going to be doing any more of in this fleet? [ She says, as though she's in charge of everyone. But that's just how she operates. ] Did you guess attempted murder? Great! Good job! You were right.

I know some of you probably have some seriously itchy fingers, but in case you forgot, being dead is generally a very PERMANENT situation! And in case you forgot, we are all in this shitty situation together! Creating drama like this is exactly what the people running this want!

You wanna punch somebody? Okay. You wanna kick them? Fine! But the next time anybody -- especially the offender in question, and you know who you are -- goes full-blown MURDER on somebody else we're going to have a little chat!

[ She leans into the camera. Is it possible for someone's eyeballs to be on fire from pure rage? Maybe. Either way, she hisses into the camera ]

And it's not going to be a pleasant one!

[ she just lifts an eyebrow at the screen. go ahead, enlighten her about why this is apparently okay ]

[wilder]

[SIGHS]

Robin owns a slave. And Fenris is a former slave, so....

[Like oil meets fucking dynamite]

[ino]

[ ... well, that is pretty shitty of Robin, but Ino doesn't have the personal experience with anything like that to think it warrants death. She's also pretty adamant on making sure everyone gets out of this bullshit alive. ]

Like I said. Punch him, kick him, I don't care. Someone like me or you could easily fix up someone who got the shit beaten out of him. He has every right to hate him or whatever. But it's not an excuse to murder someone.

[wilder]

Tch- I'm not fixing up slave owners. If their life's not endangered, they can heal the old fashion way.

But sure, murder should be frowned upon. But let's face it- Fenris probably already knew he'd come back. [.....Because Kaneis told him :x]

[ino]

[ Hold up ... ]

"Come back"? So Fenris did actually murder him?

[wilder]

Yeah. I heard he ripped out his heart.

Honestly, I'm kinda puzzled how Robin's back on his feet so soon. You'd figure someone need at least a week of downtime after that.

[ino]

[ ... not if he could regenerate. which, you know, ino's dated a few of those, she knows how they work ]

Not necessarily.

[ a pause, and then: ]

So what makes you think he would have known?

[wilder]

[There's a pause. A guilty pause]

It...might've come up a couple weeks ago when we were talking about what to do if some of the demons here turn out to be a threat.

[ino]

[ oh, boy. ]

So you were in on this.

[wilder]

Whoa- hey. I did not know he was going to go kill Robin. I didn't hear about that or why he did it until after it happened!

[ino]

[ ... relaxes a little. She really didn't want to think that he would be an accomplice on something like that, but then again, she's not always sure what to expect from this "other" Zelos. Ain't nothing more dangerous than underestimating someone, after all.

Either way, she's visibly relieved when she responds ]

... Good.

[wilder]

[He meanwhile doesn't know if he should feel miffed or not that Ino thought he was in on this whole thing.]

Trust me, if I'm gonna kill someone? It'll be by my hand, in a fight and only if they're an actual threat to other people.

[ino]

[ a little half-smile; that's better! ]

That's what I would expect.

[wilder]

[A beat]

...You're not going to argue against that? I'm used to people arguing with that.

[ino]

I mean, it'd be preferable to detain the person with non-lethal force, but that's how we do it at home too.

[ a pause, because she can't actually remember: ]

I did tell you I'm a ninja, right?

[wilder]

A ninja?

[He thinks]

Oh yeah, you might've mentioned it once back in Exsilium. [Oh yeah, considering Mizuho did assassin work in Tethe'alla, that'd explain that]

[ino]

That type of thing is pretty normal for us. But, I definitely don't think it's appropriate in this situation.

[wilder]

[There's a pause, followed by a sigh as he slightly relents]

Honestly, I don't know what'd be appropriate. I mean, I know people shouldn't be killing each other in the waystations. I know that. I don't approve of Fenris doing that.

But...I can't exactly get myself upset about this happening either. Is that bad? I don't know.

[ino]

[ a pause ]

You don't have to be upset about it to recognize it was wrong.

[wilder]

Yeah, maybe...

[It's confusing man. He seems to shake his head, and try not to dwell on it]

Anyway, let's just hope no one sets off Fenris's murderous tendencies, shall we? That'd be great.

[ino]

Mostly I'm just hoping he won't get the bright idea to try again.

[wilder]

That's...probably unlikely. It's an easy idea to come up with.

[ino]

[ sobs yeah ... she's just hoping the backlash from this attempt will be enough to discourage him .... ]

A girl can dream, right?

[wilder]

Sure, I guess. Just don't hold your breath too.

[ino]

Yeah, yeah ...

So you guys were working on some kind of contingency plan, huh?
