[alli is haunting us all in this chilis now and forever]

I think you're probably right. [After another second of looking, he'll roll off the couch to mosey over and join Yuri by the hot tub instead. Hot tub share your tooth secrets...]

Pretty weird form of justice, huh?

[ it's alli's right. ]

I'm not really sure what to make of it either. [ he gives the hot tub one more stare, and then looks away. ] A way of dissuading us? Consequences for actions? But if they know who did it they could just... do that without all the fluff.

[YOU ARE CORRECT

In any case, he just raises his shoulders...]

They talk a lot about wanting things to be even and taking an eye for an eye and all that, but this is pretty unnecessarily complex, right? Maybe it's like... "clean up your own messes" or something.

[Like, one of them does a murder, the rest of them have to deal with it?? FOOLISH.]

Maybe they hope that people having to clean up after someone else will make people think twice about doing it?

[ wouldn't it be nice if that worked? ]

[JUST THINKING ABOUT

ALL THE DESTRUCTION THAT HAS RAINED DOWN UPON THEM..... and the fact that there's a mystery clean-up squad cleaning up after their troublemakers.]

...Somehow, I feel like if that hope ever existed, it probably went away a long time ago.
