(Note, this is connected to the Shade x Y story.)

It was late, at least midnight, over the village. The only place with any awake people was the tavern, where most of them were drunk anyways. However, on a table sat three people. Arachna, Geary, and the Headmaster. "We are friends, are we not?" the Headmaster began. "And our interests are the same." Geary continued. "We collaborate," Arachna sang. "And trust in fate to parcel out the blame." Geary sang. "There are ends we’ve all got that can justify the means." The Headmaster said. "We negotiate." Geary said. "Then fabricate the facts behind the scenes." Arachna laughed  "Keeping all the details vague and secrets hidden." the Headmaster took a sip of ale. "Safe from the balanced sheet of those you trust..." Geary chuckled. "Because! History is a story told by the winners of the fight! You imply a little," The Headmaster smiled. "Lie a little. Testifying." Arachna spoke up. "Try a little," She glanced at the Headmaster. "Sailor." They said at the same time. "Who’s gonna question what goes on in the middle of the night? Not a tinker." he continued. "Not a tailor." Geary added. "Not his father or Y." Arachna joked, "Or a psycho." Geary sneered at her. "So we all are agreed. Let’s be vigilant and wise!" The Headmaster growled in joy. "We must all pretend our naïve friend was caught in her own lies. For our plan to succeed we must share but one belief. Shade stays and ends her days inside the Chateau d’If!" Geary cried. "Where the softest things she'll touch are stones and darkness. Deep in a craggy isle and dungeon’s keep." the Headmaster added in delight. "Because! History’s a story told by the men who make the laws." Arachna howled. "We supply a little lie." Geary added. "To help the gullible to buy a little fable." the Headmaster finished. "What will become of the righteous men who fashioned Shade’s flaws?" Arachna laughed. "The rich." Geary hissed. "And well respected. Are no more to be rejected at our table..." The Headmaster chuckled. "I’ll be a comfort in his time of grief and anguish I’ll be Y’s ever faithful acolyte. Every night." Arachna snickered, "And part of me wishes Shade didn’t have to languish. But I can see it’s her or me." Geary smirked. "Let her sit there and rot until she's forgot!" The Headmaster stood up and bellowed, "Let him rot!" All three of them joined together. "History’s a story told by the people who survive!" Arachna yelped in happiness. "Let me sign and then initial." Geary continued, "It’s the truth if it’s officially the story." The Headmaster hissed, "What if the cost is one young lady so three more leaders can survive?" Arachna answered his statement in song, "She's a price we have to pay." The Headmaster nodded. "So live and fight another day for love and glory." Geary took a sip of alcohol. "She was standing in the way. A threat to justice in Marseille." Arachna stood. "So goes the story!" The Headmaster stood. "Stick to the story!" Geary stood and all sang, "Here ends the story!"
