[he'll move to stand up then, stretching idly]

Lead the way.

[but also.]

.... yeah? What's up?

[dotcom]

Don't worry about the child. I got my answer.

[ and he just keeps talking before mineo can question that, ]

The items that we found there? They belong to the Avatars. We've been trying to figure out which belongs to who, but I think we finally got them all down. I gave Pride the knife back yesterday.

None of them really know anything about where we went, so if this happens again, they really won't be able to help.

[sengokus]

The—

[god takeru really moves fast on topics he doesn't want to touch on. mineo frowns but at least lets it go for now. work first....]

.... that's weird. If they don't know where you went, but their stuff was there... Did they get robbed or something?

[dotcom]

I'm not sure. They had a few guesses, but they were just that... guesses.

So, if something like this happens again, make sure to keep an eye out if anyone says they found items. There's a good chance it belongs to an Avatar.

[sengokus]

I'll do my best but... man, you all played it really close to the chest. I don't think I would've learned much if you weren't the one telling me.

[LIKE THAT REALLY WAS SUCH A CAGEY GROUP. MINEO IS PERSONABLE AND HE STILL GOT NEARLY NOWHERE]

[dotcom]

And make sure no one knows I told you.

[ he already told mineo to keep it a secret, but he stresses it again a second time. ]

We have our reasons to keep quiet. Others might not share those reasons if they're brought somewhere else, so that might not matter.

[sengokus]

A-Ah.... I haven't told anyone anything. I think I only said to Sheila-san that you told me some of it when I went to check on her hand...

[and he thinks that's fair enough since they're coworkers. but takeru's being so intense.....]

I'll keep an eye out, I guess. You all only disappeared on Thursday. When I texted you and Vira-san, I got those notifications that you read my messages before I even sent them... so I guess if you try to text anybody and get that notification, that means they're gone and we should be ready to take care of them when they're back.

[dotcom]

[ he nods

... ]

If it happens to you, just be prepared for anything. I mean it.

[sengokus]

[makes a request to mods for mineo to die in cyoa despite takeru's warnings]

.... okay. I'll be careful.

Have you gone to heal your injuries yet?

[dotcom]

Oh.

[ he blinks in surprise. ]

Right...

[ did he just forget about taking care of himself ]

[sengokus]

[ . . . . . . he

massages his temples]

Takeru.... [MINEO'S SUPPOSED TO BE THE DUMB ONE!!]

... anyway, there's actually something I wanted to check? I can go with you, just since you might feel sick after - but I wanted to see if you could isolate which injury you wanted healed. So if you only wanted your legs or something. It'd help us know if people who kill on Thursdays can have just one injury healed but keep the rest of their weird [sex] injuries to cover suspicion.

I was gonna give myself a cut or something, but if you need to be healed anyway....

[dotcom]

[ listen it's just been an extremely busy. every day since thursday. ]

I can be the guinea pig then.

[sengokus]

[nods...]

Let's go after we investigate. Maybe you can just sleep off whatever weird effect you get.

[a pause.

unless it's slime? it seems like it'd suck if it was slime? but harrow didn't like talking about slime in trial so mineo can only assume there's slime trauma now]

... hm...

[dotcom]

I don't mind going before either. If we run into anything, it may be inconvenient if I'm injured.

[sengokus]

Oh yeah.

[did he just assume he could fight whatever they run into?]

Guess that makes sense. Even if evil pink alien eye just sounds more unnerving than actually threatening.

[but they're now in the elevator i just decided and he'll hit the button for the floor the med bay is on]

Are we in a sci-fi horror murder mystery movie, Takeru?

[dotcom]

[ takeru is going to kill mineo himself he is so annoying ]

Sure. You get eaten first.

[sengokus]

[no jury would convict him]

What? No way! There's people here even dumber than me! And isn't it whoever bangs dies earlier?

[THEIR HORROR MOVIE TROPES

also his self-dunk for being a virgin is there.]

[dotcom]

What? Then you're going to live til the end then?

[ they've discussed his virginity too many times this week actually. ]

[sengokus]

[a beat]

I mean, isn't the goal for both of us to?

[HE DOESN'T MEAN FOR THIS TO BE INSULTING AND YET]

[dotcom]

[ KICKS HIS ANKLE. ]

[sengokus]

[TRIPS A LITTLE]

I'm just saying...!

[dotcom]

Shut up. You're wasting the oxygen in here.

[sengokus]

I don't know what I even said this time...

[this time.

but the elevator stopped! i'm not trapping us in an elevator again takasen already did that]

[dotcom]

That's your problem.

[ YOU DON'T THINK

but off to the med bay, grumpily. ]

[sengokus]

I just don't want you to get eaten by an alien...
