Cav let out a breath. "How you gonna get her alone. She's always either at church or with Skittery. And that guy still hates you."

"I dunno," Goblin sighed, and smirked at him. "Why don't you come up with a plan for once? Become best friends with Skittery and take him out drinking or something."

He snorted. 'Skittery knows I'm friends with you, he'd never buy it." He shrugged. "But I could try. Otherwise," and this made him smirk, "Otherwise, you're gonna have to end up at St. Patrick's. Hopefully ya won't burn to ash just by walkin' through the door."

"Maggie goes to church?" he said in surprise. He should've known that. Skittery probably knew it.

Cav blinked at him. "Uh, yeah. She goes every Sunday, then confesses during the week. How did you not know that? She's always leavin' notes in the kitchen asking if anyone wants to go with her. Nobody ever does, not even Skittery."

"Well, you can't really blame 'em," he muttered. Churches were creepy. "I don't wanna interrupt her when she's...praying or whatever." When it came to Script, everything he did seemed to be the wrong thing, to hurt her even more. "Maybe Gypsy'll testify," he said with a slight smirk, imagining her on the witness stand. It was a joke, of course. She wouldn't have the slightest credibility as far as the judge was concerned. Most of the Refuge girls wouldn't--that was why Gypsy and Riddle picked them. Script was a mistake.
And I'm sure she'll just love to hear that the worst thing that ever happened to her is the best thing that could've happened for my plan. He suddenly felt sick. He couldn't do this to her; he couldn't. On top of everything else, it was just too much.

Cav watched him, seeing his wheels turning. And the look on his face had 'Maggie' written all over it.
"Ya know you gotta talk to her, right? She's the only one who can testify. She's the only one they'd listen to and believe."

Goblin barely listened to him. He dropped the rest of his papers back into his bag and leaned his forehead against the nearest building. "But what have I done to her, Cav? What've I done to everyone?"
((Yeah, it's taken a lot, but he's legitimately falling apart.))

((AWWW!. *snuggles him*))
Cav gave him a worried look, moving to put as comforting a hand on his back as he could awkwardly manage. "You did what you thought you had to."

He flinched away from the hand automatically and turned around. "Yeah, and Gypsy and Riddle probably did what they thought they had to. And so did McArthur, and so did Monk fucking Eastman." Maggie, Gypsy, almost Ershey, and now Lena's on the run for murder...
Hard to believe that it was Riddle who had pushed him over the edge--the fact that she had nowhere to run or hide now, that her life was essentially over--but like he'd realized before, it had all started with Riddle. Riddle and Script, Lena and Maggie, the only two girls he'd ever loved, and he'd ruined them both. He looked away from Cav and pulled out a paper to hide behind. "You know, someone's gonna kill me before all this is over, and I'm not really sure whether I care."

Cav frowned at him. "You don't mean that. If you pull anything stupid, and something happens to you, ya know damn well Script'd blame herself. You really wanna do that to her?"

"Oh, thanks, more guilt," he muttered, picking out a headline. "Let's just get these sold, all right?" It was better than most other methods of taking his mind off things.

Cav let out a sigh of frustration, but started hawking. When most of his stack was gone, he turned back to Goblin.
"I'll figure out how to get rid of Skittery. But you gotta talk to Script."

"Fine," he agreed wearily. "Just tell me when and where." The sooner he got Script on the witness stand, the sooner he could go out on the mission that would complete his plan once and for all. The one he probably wouldn't come back from. And for that reason alone, he couldn't wait to do it.
And even that, he knew, was selfish. He still hadn't decided what the hell he'd say to Clara before he left.

((Hey, I PMed Tag about a Cav/Skitts thread, so we can start Goblin/Script if you want))
Cav looked at him, brow furrowed. He knew Goblin was planning something stupid. He'd have to keep an eye on him from now on.
