[recollecters]

It's been brought to my attention (again) that some of you are looking for compensation for the work you're doing. I'm open to that. So tell me, Retrospecters, what is it that you're looking for? Money? Answers? None of the above? I'm all ears. The scouting project seems to be working out okay. I don't know if any of you have found a place that's really good to relocate or recover but maybe we should talk about that, too. …finally, bit of a morality question for you. What's the priority here, you think? Working on chasing Vanderweele down this rabbit hole of a wild goose chase (wow that is too many animal analogies), or memory recovery of the company itself? Both of them are about as convoluted as you think, but not impossible. Wait, not finally. One more thing since someone brought it up: in case you haven't noticed yet, you might want to pay attention to the things you've managed to bring back because, and I hate to make it sounds real drastic, but the fate of the world kinda depends on it? Just a little. Welcome to your destiny, everybody. Anyway discuss. I'm back in the office, so drop by if you need something.

If you do stab him, will you at least twist it a few good times and yank his guts out?

[Put him through a least some pain???]

[hauntedsavior]

Would it make you happy if I did?

[blondferret]

I'd be more satisfied. Is that a good enough answer?

[hauntedsavior]

Absolutely not.

[blondferret]

Seriously? Why not?

[hauntedsavior]

Why would I do anything to satisfy you?

[blondferret]

It's called compromise. You don't want dementors involved, so at least twist the blasted sword OK!

[You're killing him smalls!]

[hauntedsavior]

You have some pretty grisly priorities for a crime scene investigator.

[blondferret]

It's not like I'm asking you to have his body be lunch for a big ass snake OK? If you think this is grisly... don't go to Hogwarts.
And don't meet Voldemort.

The guy is connected to screwing up my life. I'd like some payback OK?

[hauntedsavior]

Did you forget the part where he ripped my eye out of my head? I want payback too, Matthews, but I don't have to turn it into a fucking three-ring circus.

[blondferret]

And I'm not asking you to turn it into a circus. A street performance will do!/span>

[hauntedsavior]

I swear to god. I'm not waiting to drag him out into public. The second I get a clean shot at him, he's dead. You want something else to happen, you better get there first.

[blondferret]

Believe me, if I had access to all the ingredients and knew how to make it perfectly, I would find a way to administer the Draught of Death to him.

[hauntedsavior]

Then I guess it's a good thing I already own two swords. The only draught there's gonna be is one over his neck when I cut his head off.

[blondferret]

You own swords, but you lack creativity.

[hauntedsavior]

Then I'll make a beautiful fuckin' Pollock replica with his carotid.

[blondferret]

[Wow... just...wow.]

You're bringing back memories of messages being written in blood. Than you for that.

[Not really. There was a hanging cat, Draco was a DICK, and the message was about the Chamber of Secrets. Creepy ass memory.]

[hauntedsavior]

What's the matter, the guy who wants to suck out someone's soul can't handle a little blood?

[blondferret]

Do you know how big Pollock's are? Quite a bit of paint. So that means a lot of blood.

And the memory did not have a little blood. Someone wrote "The Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Enemies of the heir... beware," on a while wall in the school. It is not a little blood. Hopefully it wasn't human blood, I still don't know.

[hauntedsavior]

Hm. Gross.

Always comes back to fucking up walls with you.

[blondferret]

Really? Writing a message in blood on a wall is gross, yet you pollocking with a bad guy's blood isn't?

And have I mentioned that memory before? I've forgotten what all I've told you.

[hauntedsavior]

Just thinking about how we met. When you were yelling about your ex and going fucking ballistic on that wall.

And here we are, nearly a year later, and you still have no chill.

[blondferret]

Wasn't that with like... paint? If I'm remembering correctly?

I was at least being productive.

and not writing threatening messages.

and to be fair, my memories have no chill. The older he gets, the more depressing and insane his world becomes. Pretty sure i'm building up to a war because I have a memory of him about ready to kill his headmaster and not sure if he's going to do it because internally he's freaking out.

So if i'm don't seem chill to you, the memories are partly to blame.

[hauntedsavior]

You're not the only one getting memories of war. You're just handling it differently, if you can call this handling it.

Why not just be a burnout like us cool kids.

[blondferret]

Does the wars other people are having have magic, floating tortured bodies (still alive btw) over tables, and a huge ass snake eating said body?

Or people getting tortured with magic?

Or them getting blackmailed into joining an evil wizard terrorist group.

I'm not claiming to have it the worst, but you have to agree it's unique?
