week 4, sunday

[sengokus]

[okay plot and business or whatever

mineo at least goes back to his room so he can change into different clothes??? and it's probably closer to afternoon because he spent way too much time with takeru the day before]

Simulation room?
Or we can do something else while we compare notes

[dotcom]

Simulation room is fine.

[ and he'll show up there after.

he's on his phone, texting, like a dirty youth. ]

[sengokus]

[such a youth

mineo actually looks like he's genuinely pausing]

... where should we even go....

[apparently he's taken takeru to all of the places he can think to????]

Anything interesting?

[about his texts]

[dotcom]

Oh, Sheila just has an idea of making a list of popular questions so we stop asking the Avatars the same thing over and over...

[ he types out a reply. ]

New York?

[sengokus]

Oh, that'd help. I covered some stuff with Greed-san but that was a few days ago.

[also - ]

.... Eh? New York? In America? [a tilt of his head before he gestures to the panel] You'd have to conjure it up.

Actually, I was told something useful but I need your help to sort of coordinate it. There's at least two powers out there that can copy items, and I was basically told that if someone I trust wants an item duplicated, we can copy it and have it in reserve. But I don't know what the rest of your team from the first week got, and I haven't checked in with Molly or Grace about theirs.

[dotcom]

[ he'll walk up to the panel and pause for a second. central park soon forms around them, and he just looks around to make sure he got it correctly. ]

I'll have to ask them for more details on what theirs actually do, I just know what they are. But my sword, for example-- I'm the only person who can use it.

[sengokus]

Oh! Ohhhh!!!

[CENTRAL PARK he's getting all wide-eyed and excited but he'll just spin around twice to look at everything before turning back to takeru - ]

Oh, sure, that's fine. I can try to follow up with Molly and Grace to split up the work? Don't tell your group this since Satoru kept it a secret during trial, but it's his power and he offered it to me last night. But if we can find an item worth duplicating, we can do that. Otherwise he'll duplicate his own - which is... something that can dispel a curse? Yeah.

[dotcom]

Wow. Not like we needed something like that or anything this whole week.

[ his judgment.... is so high..... ]

[sengokus]

[SSSHHHHH]

It was just one - I think Molly and White probably would've gotten worse if it was one-sided.... Isn't that too sad?

[MINEO

OF ALL PEOPLE SAYING THIS IS REALLY PAINFUL]

[dotcom]

He could have uncursed Harrowhark.

[ that one was pretty bad??? ]

[sengokus]

For Santa? Or for the last half hour of trial? I mean, once she started to seem confused, I wish he would've but....

[well here they are now]

Anyway, that's one of our options.

[dotcom]

In trial.

[ but he'll let the subject drop, even if he looks obviously annoyed at this information. ]

But okay, I'll look into it.

[sengokus]

[welp

he'll just reach out to pat takeru's shoulder at that]

I'll scold him for you tomorrow, though I don't know how effective it'll be with that guy.

[he'll at least try!]

Let's regroup by Tuesday to figure out what we'll use the power on?

[dotcom]

That's fine with me.

I heard that Endorsi was told that we didn't catch Eleanor's killer.

[ he knew the weird glitch was weird. ]

[sengokus]

[nodding]

That was what she told me last night, yeah.

[AND THEN SHE FUCKED??? WHO GETS KNOWLEDGE THAT THEY CONDEMNED SOMEONE TO DEATH AND THEN GOES TO FUCK??????

anyway]

I've been thinking about it and I figure that it's the only way some stuff makes sense - if you can only have two curses at a time, then how did Harrow-san get cursed by Misa and I still got hit twice?

[dotcom]

Plus, there's the dish rack. It had to have been moved either by someone strong or someone with a power, which means that Misa would be taken out of consideration because of the amount of curses there too.

[ and also because she is like 40 pounds ]

[sengokus]

[nodding]

But that means there's at least - what, three powers at play there if superstrength was one? Two for distracting me and Lenore-san, one for moving the dishrack? So it's not impossible we're looking at accomplices.

I think that if anything we should probably keep an eye on people who've been quiet about their powers, and who could probably cover for each other.

[dotcom]

I really doubt Misa had anyone helping her. I believe her when she said she had nothing to do with Eleanor.

But I think the possibility of an accomplice in Eleanor's murder is possible.

[sengokus]

[nodding]

That's what I mean - that maybe it was two people after Eleanor-san, or at least one person who did it and another person who knew and would willingly throw out curses to cover for them.

And I think the list of people who'd mess with me isn't short exactly [people here are such assholes] ... but I think it does take out some people who just wouldn't curse me.

[dotcom]

Well. What's the list?

[ he's waiting for mineo to list names. ]

[sengokus]

Of the people who didn't report their powers this week - it was Grace, Harrow-san, Mahito-san, Queen Medb, Meg-san, Yi-kun, Molly, Childe-san, Vira-san, and Yuel. There are people who I'd take out based on the general idea that they wouldn't mess with me like that - leaving Mahito-san, Queen Medb, Meg-san maybe, and Childe-san. I think maybe Yi-kun would use me as a distraction... but that'd piss me off.

[it's the borderline of trust where mineo isn't sure if he'd give it out]

Do you know what Sheila's power does? 'What Are Those'? Gu-san's theory is that at least one of the curses flung at me this week were ones we got recently. I think I got a check on the other powers that were named but not explained, and none of them could've been used on me.

[dotcom]

Oh, her power is the one that got you-- not hers specifically, but someone who shares it.

[ he just. points at the spot on his own neck where mineo had left the hickey. ]

[sengokus]

[hE ALREADY LOOKS EMBARRASSED AND TURNS AWAY QUICKLY AAAAAAA]

C-Cool! Then it's someone who didn't name theirs or can't prove what it does.

[dotcom]

[ he grins. ]

Right. [ ... ] I think we probably should have smelled people. If evidence is preserved, then someone probably smelled like the sauce.

[sengokus]

[please no bully

he just grumbles a little bit at that]

No one had a pain response or anything off when I checked their heads... I mean, they might've healed up? Mahito-san had a forehead bruise but so did Satoru - so I think they must've fought each other earlier. They are so exhausting.

But I still thinking working off those four or five - Mahito-san, Childe-san, Queen Medb, Meg-san, and Yi-kun would be our best bet. I think we can take Meg-san out for motive and dishrack moving. So... four?
