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.))

[Hello Dazai, it seems they’ve met again much too soon.]

So you’re saying your friend withheld information, you withheld information, until it was forced out of your hand by a third party, and now we have to spend what few hours we have until the next vessel is chosen scrambling to find an answer to an impossible situation?

[Emil might have shouted out parts or all of this, but Gin is trying to really hammer home that hypocrisy. Him not sharing votes that already happened unprompted is a lot less disastrous than Ango collecting everyone he could’s secrets as well as house information, and then not telling anyone until after he was dead. Assuming Dazai even has credible information.

Gin knew there was a reason he didn’t like Ango. Too much like Aizen, and then without the ability to back it up.]

[cw_suicide]

Are you really going to be focusing on the fact that everyone here lies and has secrets and aren't sharing information over the fact that someone has killed, gruesomely and thoroughly at that?

[he's... so tired.]

[foxetious]

Several people have killed while here. Several more have killed before they got here. You started this announcement to say “Ango has people’s secrets and house secrets he never shared before, and we have 48 hours to fix it”.

As unfair as it is, people die. A pity party isn’t why you brought us here.

[Theres no trace of a smile on his voice by the end, congrats Dazai.]

[cw_suicide]

No, it's not. I am simply following through with the wishes of my dead friend.

For some bizarre reason, he wanted even people like you to stand a chance at getting out of here alive.

If it were up to me, I wouldn't have bothered.

[foxetious]

When you answer questions about information hoarding by trying to change the topic to “all my friends are dead”, it certainly sounds like a pity party.

If he really wanted to “get everyone out of here,” he should have safeguarded himself and his information better, or shared it with someone who has the ability to actually protect themselves. Since him hoarding information now has all of us lacking his information, and that information in the hands of what wants to kill us all.

[cw_suicide]

[time to stare at the ceiling]

He said he would try to leave the information in code in a journal somewhere where the ghosts would not find it.

The information is here somewhere.

That he didn't trust people here with it when you're all suffering from the effects of miasma makes complete sense, actually. Not to mention he was also suffering the effects, so he was possibly even more paranoid than usual.

[zweivoltage]

And that was my decision. If you want to simper about what happened on Wednesday night, you whine to me. Or are you the kind of hyena that can only bare his teeth at someone that's already down?

[foxetious]

Big talk for someone who can’t stand up to being asked questions he was innocent of, and spent quite a bit of time crying and dithering over sharing a list—when none of the people except one on said list cared about having their names revealed.

[zweivoltage]

Is that all you are good for? Insults and picking fights?

[foxetious]

What a stupid kid you are, if you see the truth as only insults.

[zweivoltage]

I am a dumb kid, but what is your excuse then? You should be old enough to know better.

This is neither the time nor place to start whining like a kicked dog when we have more immediate things to deal with.

[foxetious]

I pointed out hypocrisy and asked a question. You should ask someone who borrowed books in the library to lend you a dictionary, if you think that’s what “stupid” means.

You’re the one who interrupted someone else’s conversation. If you insist on hiding behind ‘being a kid’ for everything you do, sit down and shut up.

[He is really tired of this constant yapping.]

[boardreversal]

We get it, Ichimaru-san.

[Sorry, Battler's cutting in because y'all are making his head worse.]

We're all glad you share the truth, or whatever. But you're arguing with someone a lot younger than you, right? Shouldn't you be the bigger person or whatever?

[foxetious]

I’m sorry, Battler-kun. I’m not in the habit of humoring fools just because they’re young.

[That ‘sorry’ isn’t the least bit sorry and is more sarcastic. Gin was younger equivalently than Ky is now and survived through actually thinking his words and actions out. He’s only doing his duty as an adult to not coddle him when Murder is happening.]

[boardreversal]

Then don't. Ignore him. Or do you just want someone to feel superior to?

[You think he hasn't seen this kind of thing? Directly, from his family?

To him, this is just Gin punching down, same as it ever was.]

[foxetious]

Are your eyes as damaged as the rest of you? He walked up to me and started yelling. All I did was ask Dazai a question about his double standards.

[Ignorance is your super power, but please look a little closer at who actually started things before you jump in. ]

[boardreversal]

[Holy shit Gin, taking zero prisoners.

Normally, Battler might yell, or scream.

Now? he just shrugs. He's tired, done, and Gin isn't really a person to him anyway.]

....Whatever. Have fun acting like a kid, then.

[And he's just. Walking off.]

[foxetious]

[Thanks for admitting your sociopathy.

Gin re-dons his smile and gives a jaunty wave to Battler's retreating back.]

I will, thanks~.
