. . . . well. time to keep walking. mineo will admittedly fall half a step behind takeru, just following him to wherever he wants to go. he doesn't feel strongly about a location as long as it's not the common room on the sheer fact that it's uncomfortable.]
.... what were the rest of your questions? [he thinks for a moment before he just pulls out his phone]
Jail Cell with White-kun, Vira-san, and Gojou-san. When we got locked in - the air sorta... changed. It felt more suffocating. If we were quiet, we could hear the sound of someone... praying, I guess.
It does... but I wonder if the toblerones are because Kaan-san's killer is attacking again and that's a clue. The rest of it seemed in line with... well, either the cave thing or the church we saw when we had that weird illusion.
[he'll also go to sit though, even if he's still mostly on the edge of his seat.]
When we woke up this morning, the plastic food was melted.
Was staying in the room the same as the first week?
I also have some clarification on what the shitty robot said. No one ordered him to kill, like people thought he was implying. He went and asked if he could, but the Avatars aren't allowed to really interfere with what's happening here, so they couldn't say no.
They did, however, apparently limit how many people he could go after. So it could have been worse.
he closes his eyes when he hears that, and takes a moment to just let his head fall into his hands. could've been worse, huh. and now they're here with one body more each week anyway, even after the killer robot's gone. got it.
one breath in, one breath out, and then he taps his foot on the ground as if that's a place to send his agitation.]
[ . . . . he opens his mouth, pauses, and then frowns.]
.... there's not a way to prioritize, huh. We just have to follow after we get everyone's testimonies and try every location we can, since it's not like we'll even know which evidence goes with which body.
[ . . . ]
And there should at least - be an attempt for all of them.
Well, Greed said they're watching how we do again...
[ and he refuses to do poorly if he's being evaluated. ]
We'll see how we can. Someone had previously suggested going into groups to investigate each murder, but that would only work if we know right away how to separate them.
We have to look at evidence first - maybe if we make enough progress gathering information halfway through we can talk about it.
Let's get talking about today's rewards out of the way. I got a new one - it's kinda less Sloth-like than last week. It's something about a battle cry that'll make someone's blood boil for thirty seconds.
Well... it'll at least give us something to check tomorrow.
[so they can have at least one item of discussion. he sighs.]
Ah - but I did end up talking to White-kun... I don't know if he's going to tell a lot of people this, so pretty much assume everything moving forward's a secret. I'm gonna guess he's figured out we talk, though.
[mineo has like. three people he trusts and takeru is the most obvious one.]
But he got a power with two weeks of expiration, after the four of them got back yesterday. He doesn't know much about what they went through, but I'm pretty sure it was his world and he thinks they'll be able to figure that out too.
And he has no idea why you were there. He seemed surprised when I mentioned it. And he told me that he doesn't have any reason to want you dead. [a beat] I believe him.
[normally it would take a lot more convincing from mineo but he doesn't think white would lie to him specifically]
the past week clicks into place after that, and he still doesn't stand or follow after, he gives takeru some of that space that he purposefully put between them. but his hands do clench into fists and he scowls.]
That's—
[infuriating. it pisses him off all the more that he didn't know, but how could he? there are some things you don't want to tell someone for as long as possible. he knows that too.]
... I wish you'd told me.
[briefly. but he'll move on.]
There's no White-kun could've known that, though. Even when I asked Sheila-san what happened, she was really vague and didn't mention that at all. I doubt Vira-san or Harrow-san would've been more forthcoming.

And there were toblerones on the floor.

It really goes for the low blows.

I apparently passed Greed's test. I can check to see if one statement said is a lie.
no subject
[so much better than Wet Dream but here we are]
No expiration date?

Got it.
no subject
he's upset, and takeru is doing mental gymnastics to come up with any topic of conversation besides asking him if he's okay. ]
Is there anything else you heard?
no subject
it's fine, he can still work.]
... now that I think about it, before I left the jail cell, everything tasted like salt.
[he didn't think much of it at the time because also he was too distracted by three bodies, but at least he's trying to jog his own memory now.]
Harrow-san could hear brass orchestra from the music room. "The type for pretentious people" - she said.
no subject
[ the fact that they have to try to differentiate these things. ]
no subject
[most of the people he immediately checks on stay in their rooms]
no subject
So that's an orchestra, the kitchen sink, and porn... it probably would make more sense if they relate to different deaths.
no subject
but he's just going to pause and.

It sounds... literal?

I can blind someone for twenty-four hours.

Do you think they're still related to sins? I guess I can ask Gojou-san....

The only thing I can think of is that maybe I was referencing what happened to my group.
no subject
it takes a second for it to click into place but.]
Takeru?
no subject
Starved to death. So, technically I did die here, so maybe it was referencing that? Even if it wasn't Gu Yun's fault...
no subject
