Anything you think these two should get up to together?
Wu Xin walking on water again is charming. I also gotta be honest that I don't think I'll be able to continue our previous threads, so something fresh for port is good
I'm not sure I can justify Walter making this exception for truth sharing, but Walter assuming Wu Xin is avoiding the boats could still lead to an interesting talk. Like I've said, Walter is curious about his past
Lol, Wu Xin is absolutely not avoiding the boats.
And has not been asking if people want company but hopping right in. XD
me like Thanksgiving coma? Thanksgiving was last month....... oh.
ok I got like 4 interested parties at this point so I might make some kind of mini-log
OK I have made some kind of mini-log
I didn't put in proper open prompts
is the mini-log open for tag-ins?
You are one of the "like 4 ppl" I made it for!!
Me: hey can I have my motivation to write back. And not a cactus
Janet: hands me pronounced physical malaise
(also I would take a cactus rn)
"where would you like our CR to go is going around"... I've still been in Lengaland doing Lenga things I guess. Hopefully having that direction WILL HELP but I'm still going to wait a day or two until I've actually done some big tags
Our CR is slowly GOING in that direction ANYWAY
i would still love for walter to meet henry at some point but that can ofc absolutely wait until you have energy back
Answered a reply I received today 👏 I'm going to try to make a new plurk Sunday. I'm actually considering putting off my hiatus a little longer to do Harry meeting and new movie club party then Really big hiatus
Walter to Malcolm in the mini log: I miss having money and no obligations
So that I could just go wherever I want. TO PLACES. IN THE REAL WORLD
re: Malcolm - everything is about Will and he's not sorry
PS they are getting married very soon
so he's extra smooshy about him.
Holy Christ I only just saw the reply
Walter just here screaming into his hands it is a self help cult
sephchama wu xin is a cutie. Is he gonna get to ride trains and airplanes
Omg. He'd be so thrilled with airplanes.
Get Julian to take him in a Spitfire in the battle of Britain in the Enclosure.
Oof. Something more peaceful than during a war! D:
Malcolm thinks even Walter’s truth is exaggerrated by Walter. He probably will read the file, actually. He’s been considering it since Jedao told him Pyotr hit him in the skull during the NS battle.
Bc why did the sneaky little shit not want him to read it?
Plus Walter hasn’t really commented one way or the other like Kiki and Neal and has had plenty of opportunity.
So expect that one day, wherever Walter has stored it, it will just be gone.
You keep saying "Walter stored it" when I've told you that he left it with Malcolm the entire time. But anyway, reading the file and understanding are two different things. Walter told him the main reason he was manipulating Malcolm to prevent him from reading the file was so that he wouldn't find out about Misty
And so that this no longer matters
ah right he left it behind. sorry, I keep remembering his intention of letting him take it and brain bubbling. he will definitely read it then. open the drawer he has it stored in and look at it for a moment and just..
pick it up.
what do you think is the best source of the file contents for me as a resource? a wiki? your app?
Yeah app on journal is good especially because all that time ago we decided to together to put in the note [THE FILE IN THE GAME DOESN'T EXPLICITLY SAY SHAUNA IS ACTUALLY THE ONE WHO KILLED THAT GUY]
Walter telling him the file doesn't matter anymore because he knows about Misty is also true in the sense that he can now use this concession of the file to deflect from his actual secret (movie club)
if Malcolm saw this vision somehow like he saw Walter's cup and he were like "oh! I need to read Walter's file!" Walter would breathe this sigh of relief that that's all he did
he's also gonna quietly pay attention to how much time you're spending with/talking to Pyotr the Lying Skull Crusher.
Maybe Jedao's skull should not have looked so crushable
I mean he's admitted that the barge is a murder meat grinder completely unrelated to justice. Pretty crushable!!!
also way to leap to conclusions malcolm
pyotr very well could have actually been brainwashed, even jedao isnt sure
tbh the ambiguity is why i agreed to the plot, though characters are welcome to be suspicious
and i have mixed feelings about it in hindsight
also 'agreed' isnt the right word, it was my idea but initially as more a joke lol. but i went with it
Hell, there were people being puppeted around during the fight, not all of Hela's zombies were obviously dead.
And they could always just ask one of the NSers if they had anyone who could do mind control.
We talked a bit ago about Walter not being aware from interactions with Pyotr about this whole incident but I might still interpolate a bit of "zombies were a thing" knowledge
he can still know things about the NS to make guesses about this new information he gets told.
[hypothetically]
Walter: I wish Malcolm would leap to conclusions about me and prevent my crimes
Malcolm: [leaps to conclusions about Pyotr]
Walter: NO!!!
onemuon: It shouldn't scare him, the answer is "yes".
he doesn't know that though, unless yen told him
actually clarification on whether yen would cover for him would be helpful and is something I was hoping for from the first thread
lilbeejack no worries about it though since I am actually on hiatus myself
present! ok still working on the first cup of coffee.. what might yen have already told him?
so jedao told malcolm that pyotr and jedao fought during the battle of the two ships, though pyotr lied and said he was mind controlled by hela. he has no idea what hela's powers are or if she is even capable of actually doing that as opposed to just controlling zombies. but she is capable of it.
"he has no idea what hela's powers are" = pyotr has no idea what hela's powers are. pyotr is concerned yen will sell him out, basically
oooh! no, she wouldn't sell him out. i planned to continue that first thread (unless you wanted to sum it up certain points and handwave) given they were on the topic of hela and said "mind control" because she'd know the difference between it and magic/necromancy.
as long as that's cool with
quantumvelvet i figure they were allies at the very least
we can continue it, if you wish! i just wanted to be clear on that bit since it'll help in the current thread. he'd be less hostile
absolutely! yeah that secret is safe with her.
I am 100% on board for reinforcement of the "Hela hijacked Pyotr's brain" narrative.
(If I ever do app her, it will be fresh from canon and she will not know wtf anyone is talking about, so she can't sell him out either.)
If Walter did end up finding outright from Yelena that she was a controlled zombie and killed, that would also be very interesting to have floating around in this. Though I don't know if Yelena even knows everything about that
i didnt know yelena was zombied
Laura knows you have to dismember them to break the curse. She had to do it for Yelena.
i thought she just got blown up
that's how she died initially. then hela reanimated her
Fortunately, she doesn't remember the post-death part.
That is what her joke about "went to pieces" came from though I had some incorrect memory of Wu Xin being involved
She joked In her text thread with Walter. So he's just reasonably suspicious something bad happened to her at that time. B as her warden saying that Barge passengers were killed, Walter didn't specifically think "B must be talking about his inmate Yelena dying"
Wu Xin saw her as a zombie, and told her about it, which is why she's aware it happened.
She might tell Walter how she died, but probably not about the zombie thing, just because she has no memory of it - it didn't happen to her, it just happened to her corpse after she'd already vacated the premises.
(She did have to put down zombie Chase, but that's not anyone else's business.)
