RECORDING 11: THE FOURTH MURDER.

[foundationmods]

A fourth week, and this is now definitely routine. Waking on friday, with the knowledge deep down that your number has yet again decreased.

You must still pull yourself from your bed, and discover who is now forever gone.

...But, wait.

What's that smell...?

((OOC: 2 people max under a heading, please! Just to keep things easy on the mods. You can switch out with someone else during an investigation if needed.))

[ romani has looked like he was about to faint since he stepped out of the ice room, but now he just slides against the living room wall all the way down to the floor.

it's one thing to know this, and it's another to have it confirmed by the person that knew ango the best. ]

[oxidegreen]

[C-catching him...

Oh god.]

[finalring]

Marona it's--

[ he still hasn't fainted! but boy does he look like he's close to doing so.

he's about to say that it's fine, but...is it really? ]

--please let me go.

[oxidegreen]

[She hesitates before very gently lowering him to the floor.]

[finalring]

I'm sorry for the trouble.

[ he's sorry for a lot of things. ]

[oxidegreen]

...It's alright.

[It's not. Nothing is. But she hardly needs an apology for doing this much.]

[finalring]

I didn't want this to happen.

[ not that it matters anymore. ango died and someone else will die tomorrow.

he closes his eyes and sighs. ]

[oxidegreen]

I know you didn't.

[But then. Most people here didn't.]

...We'll keep going. Somehow...

[They just...

They have to. There's no other way to go.]

[cw_suicide]

[probably once all the commotion bound to happen is over, Dazai's moving over to him. because. well. you know why.]

Sensei. Where is he?

[no idle chatter, no nonsensical tones, just to the point, flat.]

[finalring]

Ice room.

[ he's not looking at dazai in the eye. ]

He's...you don't want to see him. Not like that.

[cw_suicide]

I've already seen one friend dead in my arms. It would be disrespectful to not pay the other one the same courtesy.

[fuck you, I am going to see him.]

[finalring]

....

[ he won't say anything. go ahead and see your frozen fried friend. ]

[cw_suicide]

[yep. gonna do that.

and he's taking a pack of cigarettes from the lounge with him when he does.]

[onemolife]

[ Mind if he tags along? ]

[cw_suicide]

[yeah, sure. lover of friend can come with.

though the moment he sees the shape Ango is in...

it's so bleak.]

[onemolife]

[ Gun shot wounds, frozen tear tracks on his face, and something happened to his leg.

It's definitely bleak and paints a terrible picture of his last moments. ]

I was with him... before our game.

[ He knows he shouldn't, but... maybe it would have been different if he dragged him with him. ]

[cw_suicide]

... I was still frustrated with him about withholding about his vote, and volunteering himself.

[ah, it feels like he's getting strangled when he says it but there's no real emotion behind the words.

just the barest sense that the regret there isn't being allowed to come to the surface.]

[onemolife]

[ Dazai was mad at him, which was quite the contrast from Wei Wuxian's last moment with him. There was flirting, Ango shared his past, and then he did his hair... ]

I might have to be selfish again and borrow your shoulder later.

[cw_suicide]

It's not a very good one, but you can borrow it.

[time to light cigarettes.]

[onemolife]

The one borrowing it isn't very good, either.

[ If only he wasn't frozen... then they could at least have closed his eyes. ]

[cw_suicide]

... if I had some coins...

Though, I don't actually know if he would be offended by that or not.

[second cigarette being lit while the first is being put into one of Ango's hands. look. don't question.]

[onemolife]

[ He won't question it. ]

I can make paper money later.

[ For them to burn or leave with him. Not that it matters here but... ]

Maybe we should bring back some whiskey?

[cw_suicide]

Open bottle of it in the lounge is poisoned.

Some kind of mechanical chemical.

Probably... someone had him drink it during the party, to start with.

[onemolife]

[ Wow. Not only did he leave him there to socialize, he also got poisoned. ]

That's...

[ A bit overkill. Nani the fuck, killer? ]

[cw_suicide]

I could be wrong because weirder things have happened...

But my mafia experience makes this look more like a hit job.

[just... saying.]
