the r/l/b and r/v/b “everything is cyclical, and a contest, and we are once again resting who wins and who loses on a woman’s favor” continues.
#IT’S LIKE THE JUDGEMENT OF THE GODS IN A WAY.#I’m not far enough yet to know exactly what’s going on with Gerard/Daphne/Quentin but feels like yet another possible parallel brewing.#➤ ooc. ┊ she’s nauseous,she’s hysterical,and she’s exhausted.#➤ roger collins & victoria winters & burke devlin. ┊ to know how it ends‚ and still begin to sing it again.#I’m out of practice with my Hellenistic texts but I am tempted to think about the roger/burke conflict as relating to kleos#there’s the literal sense in which there’s misapplied justice — perjury — a fault in the legal system as it stands & skews towards collins#but theres also the sense that roger has done a greater wrong on the divine scale that amounts to more than only the manslaughter convictio#which is why it doesn’t matter that burke only served five years; or that he got out on good behavior; or that he’s now obscenely wealthy#the transgression violates a bigger sense of honor.#competing for the goddess’ favor doesn’t have much impact on the running of the Collinsport PD#(other than when roger strongarms them into giving testimony)#but their favor *does* lend itself to the overall contest of glory — and the winner gets; among other things; a bride.
