So, I saw the blood, I just wanted to see if someone was really shitty at hiding bodies, but—
[ Out by the trio of wells, Vi's sporting a cozy red jacket that she 'liberated' before leaving Serthica. This close to the pocket watch, the scarring on her lip and brow is visible, along with her nose piercing and the VI tattoo under her left eye. She isn't wearing a hat despite her short hair and undercut, and when she leans over and swings the watch to face down, it's visible she's opted to do without gloves for the moment, too. One hand gripping the well is only protected by some dirty hand wraps.
The well she's leaning over is the one that should be lidded, but...that lid is a little bit broken and leaning against the side after a certain someone wrenched it off.
It's not easy to see from this high up, but the well is mostly empty, and down below is a skeleton dressed in a gown. ]
Not the kind of dead body I expected.
[ The pocket watch is tied around her belt so anyone watching can enjoy some Hardcore Henry motion sickness as Vi hops over the edge of the well and ping-pongs off the narrow sides to keep from dropping down into the three feet of what looks to be very dirty water. Somehow she manages to keep a grip without falling, but the watch stays on her waist so she can have both hands free.
Down here, the skeleton's dress is visibly tattered, and the water is filled with silt. The partially submerged skeleton is posed...almost like it's sleeping?
Just as Vi's trying to scrape closer for a better look, one of the innkeepers is heard fretting up above to not disturb the skeleton's napping spot. Something about the sun's glare. Since there's nothing else to see, Vi concedes and climbs back up, the pocket watch bringing the innkeepers into view when she lands back on the ground. Vi's husky voice can be heard 'asking' for (demanding) an explanation: "Sorry, but, what the hell?"
The innkeepers explain that they suspect the lady of the bones forgets each night where her final resting place is and keeps trying out each of the very similar wells. They lid the well they find her in every morning. The water returns in that well, nicely purified, once she's out each night.
It isn't until the lid's back on and they've left that Vi looks back to the video, more disturbed than when she had started. Are they getting their drinking water from magic haunted skeleton wells? ...Probably still better than the water she had back home. ]
Feels like we ought to pour one out for her. [ A softer mutter: ] And she should have a better grave marker...

[ And she doesn't understand it enough to go into it. ]
I liberated it for a good cause.
[ Careful Vi you sound a little like your sister. ]
no subject
Oh, magic tech. That cool too. ["Liberate" was a word the army used in propaganda. He wouldn't trust it now, except for the fact that Chipper and Blue Girl used it too. When they said it, it meant stealing from somebody bad.] Kahl liberate stuff too. Lots of bad places at home, with good tech. Kahl take. Not bring any here, though.
Vi fight too?
no subject
Yeah, I fight. Don't need the tech for that.
[ Hopefully she doesn't eat those words. ]
You ready to fight whatever comes next?
