murder by numbers - justin pendleton

What do you believe happens to the dead once they leave the City?

I won't contest religious beliefs.

[Flagged to Dean // Open to Police Force Members and Affiliates]
I'd like to request a few days off, assuming no one else gets murdered. Please.

[ooc: Euphie left, she and Justin had a weird thing going on that was rather emotional, and Justin's dealing the only way he knows how ~~that doesn't involve self-destructive habits he has outgrown~~, which is... thinking. (For those keeping score, he was already upset about Mara and the police force's lack of fixing things.)]

It needs to be. I hope it is, for Euphie and you and Mara, and for everyone else who hasn't died yet.

[Richard is not on that list. Justin hasn't thought himself into a bottomless pit of despair. (One of these is a lie.)]

For my part, I hope it never comes up.

[Stubborn, stubborn. He won't say or for you but it's implied.]

It won't.

[Neil and Todd belong in the City and Justin isn't entertaining the thought of either of them leaving. Everyone leaves except for them.

Quietly and apropos of nothing:]

I still have the cat I accidentally brought home. [During the cat-hugging curse. Not that Justin was hugging a cat or anything.[

Accidentally. [Well, he won't throw around accusations.] I don't mind cats. I don't think Todd does, either.

But should I look harder for her original owner?

[Or at all. He made a network post, but other than that.]

I suppose you could? I haven't seen any 'Lost Cat' posters around, though, or heard on the Network about anyone missing pets.

[In other words, you're probably safe.]
