Week 4, Friday

[foundationmods]

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.

Yeah it's really good to threaten him. But you're gonna break it if you keep spinning it like that, and then it won't be any good.

[ he holds his hand out ]

I'll keep it safe until then. Give it.

[houndumb]

The hell is the point of havin' something important that can break so easily.

[Nora side-eyes the Epi-pen but spins it..... slower?? He's sort of listening?? Kind of.]

You're not just goin' to turn around and give it over, are you?

[He's thinking about it........]

[odasaku]

Expensive things break easily. I think it's to make people spend more money to buy it again.

[ he shrugs. he's no manufacturer. ]

Promise. Just thinking that with my gun, and this pen, we could get him to do anything.

[houndumb]

Oh, I know what that is. It's like those door-to-door salesmen scams. Her Hagliness was always talkin' about how you can't buy perfume from 'em but I'm pretty sure she just fell for all the scams 'cause she's stupid.

[He talks about 'Her Hagliness' a whole lot sometimes but there really isn't much information other than Nora's salt.]

... You better keep that promise. We don't got all that much leverage unless I can break into his office again.

[odasaku]

Rich people do that a lot. Fall for scams.

[ oda nods, with his hand still out and waiting for epi pen ]

Don't worry. I've been meaning to get back at him for a while.

[houndumb]

Ha, doesn't get much richer than the ruler of the demon world, I guess.

[Give him a little bit to dodge the double-pronged cat attack here before he finally manages to extricate himself in a true feat of acrobatics, land somewhere under a nearby piece of equipment while using it like a shield and -- yeah, here's the Epi-pen, he'll just yeet it. Be nice, Oda!!]

Fine!! This stupid thing better be worth it...

[odasaku]

Let's hope so. [ oda nods, walking back to stand against one of the walls of the garage.

vanitas will feel something heavy in his pocket later on. surprise epi-pen! ]

[darkremnants]

[ He'll look surprised when he does find it.

He'll remember this. ]

[houndumb]

[BEETRAYAL!]

[odasaku]

[ U WILL UNDERSTAND WHEN UR LESS STUPID ]

[houndumb]

[THAT WILL BE NEVER??? PLS??]
