[nodding!]

I've figured you haven't.

[like

mineo genuinely thinks that takeru would have sooner confessed to a murder during confession week rather than say anything about how he feels or his past.]

I haven't either.

[literally no one suspected that he has]

[dotcom]

I know you haven't.

[ he wants to say "moron" so bad ]

[sengokus]

It just felt worth saying....

[wow.]

Anyway, White's dream is kinda weird, right? I wonder if it meant that Eleanor-san ran into a house that was already on fire? Harrow-san mentioned something about a dog too...

[dotcom]

[ he frowns ]

She brought a dog with her last night and it wasn't there when we woke up. If that fucking idiot brought a dog with her while she was getting murdered...

[sengokus]

[oh my god]

She's dead, Takeru, lay off a little!

[dotcom]

[ he just shrugs ]

[sengokus]

[takeru is such a rude bitch and mineo just sighs about it]

.... but I was thinking if maybe the dog got away from her, she probably would've freaked out and start looking. But I also don't think a dog would've run toward fire, so it seems pretty weird to me.

Do you know what breed the dog was? Or if he had a name?

[dotcom]

A pomeranian, and not that I know of.

But that would be a really long way for the dog to run on its own if it was in the city? So she had to have taken it with her.

[sengokus]

That's true, a dog can't use an elevator.

[please don't say this like it's something that needs to be said]

.... but who would take a dog that far....

[he won't say it as rudely as takeru but he is slowly understanding the sentiment now]

[dotcom]

... well, we'll see what happens tomorrow.

Who was with you, by the way?

[sengokus]

White, Grace-san, and Lenore-san. Lenore-san texted me a little later yesterday and I think that she didn't have anyone else to stay with, so I told her to come with us just to be safe.

[dotcom]

[ he just nods his head. ]

Right... well, we'll see where else everyone was tomorrow.

[sengokus]

[also nodding]

.... I'm kinda pissed it was Eleanor-san. We keep losing civilians.

[people who are just trying to vibe? it makes him frown]

But... I guess I'm also glad we're only dealing with one.

[dotcom]

Civilians are the easiest choice to go for. Less likely to fight back, right?

[ so he's not really surprised.

he also has like, another mean thought, but he chooses not to voice it. ]

Just one should help... we won't confuse evidence with each other.

[sengokus]

[it's not like he's surprised but the thought still manages to get mineo to scowl]

It just means it's someone who doesn't care about flaunting power around and being a shitty opportunist.

[LIKE THE FLEA IS STILL ALIVE? THINK ABOUT THAT. WE KILLED ELEANOR SHELLSTROP AND AN A3 BEFORE THE FUCKING FLEA.]

Right... We'll have to gather our evidence, I guess. I haven't heard of any other colors involved so far... but I figure you all got tired last night 'cause Eleanor-san was on Sloth.

[dotcom]

Maybe...

[ a pause ]

Really funny how we get those before anyone is even dead.

[sengokus]

Grace-san said the same thing, after I slipped on one of the puddles.

It's like this place knows something even before we do.

[ . . . . ]

This might not matter, but I got a power - from the arts and crafts and snakes. I can cast an extra vote at trial. It sounded kinda gluttonous, saying that 'no one can stop me from getting seconds'.

[this is such a power to give to mineo who doesn't even want to cast one vote]

[dotcom]

I can change one of my features to be like someone else's .

[ ... ]

Pretty useful for murder.

[sengokus]

[ . . . well.]

That's gonna be a pain in future weeks.

[dotcom]

Pretty much.

... or even this one, honestly. If you change something if we're doing hand checks, the chances of us noticing probably aren't too high.

[sengokus]

[ . . . hmmmmm.]

I don't know how many people would fess up to having this power if they plan on using it for bad shit later....

[dotcom]

Hopefully it's distributed by your alignment or groups then. It'll be easier to figure out.

[sengokus]

Maybe if we can actually get an idea of real numbers this week...?

I don't care about sharing mine. Ah - and if you have someone you think I should put an extra vote in for, just text me during trial using the same code.

[he's just

giving his extra vote to takeru]

[dotcom]

[ ... ]

I'll let you know.

[ he

pats mineo ]

[sengokus]

[???????

he accepts the pat easily enough, leaning into it]

Did I say something good....?
