thefoundation | Week 4, Friday

Another Thursday night comes, and everyone seems to know what that means. Even with the failure of last week, several people are out on patrol, trying to make sure no murders occur tonight. That motive had been tempting, after all, and keeping people in check when there's the promise of 'going home' on the line is difficult at best.

Moriarty, at least, seems intent on taking advantage of that motive. After slipping out of his room, he walks briskly towards the back yard. His intended target is out there, he knows it, and he wants to get this done quickly before anyone notices he's missing. The stipulation of 'don't get caught' has made this week's motive all the harder to obtain, and he has no intentions of letting anyone get the best of him.

However, Oda is not alone this week. Several people have decided to patrol with him, making for many witnesses to any possible crime. A fact that Moriarty sees instantly as soon as he steps outside.

For a moment, Oda and Moriarty's eyes meet. Oda frowns, because he can figure out exactly what Moriarty is doing out and about at this hour. But he can't say anything, not with the people around him. The goal is to avoid deaths, after all, and speaking up now will just result in Moriarty's death instead of his own. And since Oda won't attack with other people right there to get caught in a firefight and possibly die, he does nothing against this obvious threat.

Karen looks over the edge and sees Moriarty too. In turn, Moriarty smiles and waves up at the group, acting as if nothing bad had been about to happen. Karen waves in return, suspecting nothing. The exchange just makes Oda's frown deepen, but he still says nothing.

Then, once that pleasant exchange is made, Moriarty ducks back inside, heading back to his room before anyone can miss him.

The night passes with no deaths.

[ The brown sparrow-colored prinny has returned! This time it has a stack of sandwiches as it walks out from the direction of the kitchen. Really well-made ones despite flippers.

Canonically they they have magical/mysterious "sticky" properties, according to the Disgaea 2 art book. ]

. . . Sandwiches?

[ cants her head to the side ]

You don't mind if I use these, do you?

Don't use them to cheat this week's craft project, dood!

But otherwise, go ahead. Eat them, throw them, it's all good probably.

Is it really cheating if the note didn't specify what materials can or can't be used?

[ semantics, man.

she's using them to the fullest of her ability. ]

Dood...

[ INABA ]

At least use something cooler! You have people on your team with wooshy abilities!

Saki's tired and I don't want to force her to use cantus and Karen's ability. . .

[ sighs ]

Well.

I guess I could ask her to catch it transformed if she's fast enough, but that doesn't leave much room for me to do anything.

[ LIKE SERIOUSLY???? ]

[ ...It hands her a sandwich with toasted slices of bread. ]

[ Snagging a sandwich to eat. ]

Your welcome!

Thanks too for that other time.

[ It sounds happy. ]

Don't thank me.

[ It's weird. ]

But it's good, dood. Prinnies have to learn how to be "good" kinda so they can work off their crimes. Like good slaves!

[ hmm ]

Oh watch out. We have a real criminal here.

[ With his bread crimes ]

Ah. Let me help you with that.

[ oda will help take the stack of sandwiches from the prinny. ]

You made all of these? Thanks.

[ headbutts him gently after he has taken the sandwiches. ]

[ oda blinks, but head pats the prinny, a tired smile on his face. ]

You’re doing an amazing job.

Nah.

[ Flippers at sides. ]

I'm not doing much at all except what I gotta, dood.

These look tasty! Thanks Miiiii.... my very good Prinny friend.

Don't give prinnies special treatment, dood! We are servants to your needs and orders, dood.

[ in a childish kind of tone, but it hands Silver a nice sandwich. ]

But I like all of you. You guys are cute. And also finally someone the same height as me.

[Prinny might be able to catch the shit eating grin before Silver covers his mouth with a sandwich ]

[ Oh Silver. He kind of understands his woes. ]

If you need help, feel free to climb on my head! The prinnies here are really good at stacking.

I can float, so I got it. Thanks, though.

Now I'm a little envious, dood.

[ pats mitsuprinny ]

You're a very hard worker. How do you manage with just those flippers?

[ Aw, thank you Azura! ]

I'm not sure, but it just works out. I wish oven mitts were this good, dood.

[Actually, he was heading to the coop just to grab an egg because working with eggs first thing is already making him hungry and he's actually hangry after staying up too long patrolling, thanks. So Nora pauses when he sniffs sandwiches.]

Hey, gimme some of those!

[He'll just swipe two from the pile just because he can. Sticky sandwiches...? Hopefully the entire pile doesn't come off because RIP he doesn't have the reflexes to catch a bunch of sandwiches on this amount of sleep.

That being said you probably saved everyone from him exploding an egg in the microwave so good job.]
