[I have played Shelley in multiple murdergames, including the first time ever I was a culprit. I'm fond of her because of that too, for the memories]
Yeah. I followed her steps, pretty much. Ages ago she used to be a reporter in the same newspaper I now direct. Guess writing is in the blood.
[Erin points at herself with her thumb]
But I'm not going to write for little tykes like she does. Can you imagine me, writing sweet things like that?
[Too bitter and jaded to write nice things]
By the way, about your sister. Planning on telling her about all this, once you go back?
[She'd want to know why her brother went incommunicado for a while, Erin is sure. Despite everything, she's not going to be unkind enough as to tell to someone to their face that there's a chance they won't get out of this situation alive. Better aim for a little bit of positive thinking there]
[ he laughs, thinking about erin writing a kid's story... ]
I don't know, I could see it! It just might have to be for older kids. [ he jokes back a little, thinking about it. thinking about all of the wonderful stories that were read to him when he was little - thinking about holding his sister in his lap and reading children's books to her too. he looks soft and nostalgic at the idea, though... it fades, at the last bit. ]
Mm... [ god. ] ...probably not. I don't want her to worry. Miss Aerith suggested that I write her letters while I'm here, though, so I'll probably do that, and just not send them.
Things at home are already stressful enough. I'd be worried she'd pack up her things and ride straight to Flamesgrace if she knew!
Hey - Miss Erin, you should write some, too! There has to be some news around here to report that isn't just... you know, the whole cult thing. Right? Maybe? I know that article someone posted last week was kind of mean, but... it might be nice to have something to lift people's spirits. So... something...not like that. Maybe another poll...

[You put that 'who is the saddest person in town' last week, didn't you, Rondo. Erin has been sure for a while you did]
