ok

here's the deal.

you look like a crazy bad guy because nobody gets why you did it. maybe she should know but she doesn't know. if she doesn't know why then it's not justice or whatever, it's crazy fuckery. or maybe you're cool with everybody being paranoid you're gonna take their power, idk your life. didn't seem that cool with it before.

[hostage]

Yeah because everybody cares so much what I have to say

Tempest KNOWS she's just doing this so I look crazy and nobody believes me and now it's too late anyway even the prosecutors are talking about torturing me

[werewolfing]

i am listening to you right now dude. and i believe you so try for like five seconds to believe me because i have no goddamn reason to lie to you and every goddamn reason to avoid the hell out of you forever.

jesus you're good at pissing people off though. torture? wtf is wrong with everyone.

whoever she caught in the closet can back you up. if i'm wrong and tempest is lying, telling people what happened helps you, not her. this shit that's going on now makes you look crazy.

[hostage]

I can't drag her into this they'll blame her they'll think she sent me and she didn't and she already blames herself but it was me

[werewolfing]

hell, jesse. why would anybody think that? all the people i know of who were fighting on your side of this bullshit were hero types.

[and now that he's written that he has a terrible feeling about who jesse would be protecting so hard. terrible enough that he's going to ignore it because he doesn't want to deal until there's no choice.]

[hostage]

Everybody who was part of the mutiny isn't being punished

I think it's bigger than we thought it was

I think the police are in on it

[werewolfing]

idk man i'm fuckin switzerland and i hate cops. if it was bigger it might have worked.

i think people are pissed because you stole tempest's magic and they don't know why. that makes you more dangerous than her.

[hostage]

How do we know it didn't work

[werewolfing]

how do you figure it did? they're in jail, initiative is still in charge.

[hostage]

Yeah they're "in jail" but as long as Tempest had her magic they could move freely and I fucked that up for them and they're pissed about it

I think this is a cover and they're working through Ros

Once everybody forgives and forgets they'll be out of that room and giving orders

[werewolfing]

pretty sure tempest doesn't need her magic to fuck people up, man. she's paid muscle. if she wanted out she'd get out.

they're pissed because you violated her. that's why we're having this chat like this, btw.

[hostage]

I didn't VIOLATE her I took her weapons away which is what you do when you're actually keeping somebody in jail not just pretending to

[werewolfing]

she's a hired killer jesse. pretty sure she can still fuck people up if she wants to.

taking away magic isn't like taking away a gun. it's like chopping off your shooting arm. it's a piece of what she is. which is why it fucking freaks people out.

[hostage]

It doesn't hurt I know for a FACT it doesn't hurt her and if she didn't want to lose it maybe she shouldn't of used it to torture people

[werewolfing]

yeah that wasn't what i meant.

i'm telling you why they locked you up, man. nobody goddamn knows what happened except you and your lawyer and whoever it was so everybody else thinks you're going full on batshit supervillain.

fix it or don't, it's your ass.

[hostage]

We're TRYING

It's not like I WANT to die here

[werewolfing]

telling people what happened would go farther.

nobody wants to die here. pretty sure nobody wants to die at all.

[hostage]

I'm not selling her out just to save my ass

And anyway nobody's going to let me out of here until I give Tempest her magic and I WON'T

[werewolfing]

get comfy then, man.

you told me that you'd always give back the shit you took.

[hostage]

If I give it back to her and she hurts somebody else or kills them or breaks all her friends out of jail and THEY kill somebody, how am I supposed to live with that?

[werewolfing]

don't know. i'd say there's a bigger risk of people thinking you're too dangerous. far as anybody knows she hasn't done anything besides have a different opinion.

i've spent a long time dodging people who think i should be sliced up or put down, and i haven't done jack shit to anybody. you give her magic back, people will let it go. longer you hold onto it, longer they're gonna remember and the harder you'll be fucked.

[hostage]

I'm fucked either way

[werewolfing]

yeah. sucks.

but you get to choose how hard and by who.

[hostage]

Then I'm choosing the way that doesn't get anybody else hurt

[werewolfing]

telling you man, you're fooling yourself if you think they need magic to hurt people.

but it's your ass.
