( ooc: posted today for ooc ease, but assume this comes up after Sizhui/Eleven/Mingyu speak with the miners, around 24 May. Alina and Lan Wangji have given the miners their mercy kill, before they could fully transition, and removed the bodies from where they were kept... but clean-up. )

[sankta]

[somebadnews]

You're ahead of me, in that case.

[sankta]

[somebadnews]

[ What are you. ]

I do miss things now and again.
