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.))

[ So basically this read to him that Ango likely considered the very same thing he had in regards to the voting list.

Granted, the circumstances were different, but really. How was this acceptable if they had intended to reveal the names to make people not distrust each other? ]

Well, I suppose there's nothing to be done about this foolishness.

[ This was tiring to go through, though. This wasn't even about losing faith in people anymore. ]

But, I have to know. Did you find this acceptable? I assume he swore you to some form of secrecy and that's why you kept your mouth shut in the first place. Unless I'm wrong about that too.

[cw_suicide]

He did, and I don't find it unacceptable when everyone here is affected to different degrees of paranoia and the like.

It wasn't something I considered until after our conversation, however, heika.

Ango himself was not immune. If anything... I don't know what kind of effects his investigations would have had on him. He was tightlipped about that and only let slip very recently that he was getting the more intensely traumatic things with his investigations even when he tried for other information.

[sageking]

Hmph...he did seem like that type of person.

[ Well, despite his misgivings, he believed that there was far too short of a time for them to act on this, and the answer wasn't an excuse. So...

It was time to move on. They could argue if some other nonsense popped up or anything later. ]

If you haven't managed to gather a sufficient group or adequate search party, let me know. As you've stated, we're running on short time as it is.

[ It did seem he had some people who volunteered to assist already, so there was that. The information was likely undoubtedly valuable, though, so if more helping hands were needed so be it. ]

[cw_suicide]

I'm aware. I think we have a decent search party for the time being. In the meantime, please continue to take care to help with the investigation and trial, if you're able, Gilgamesh-sama.

[he knows he'll be seen as biased during the trial.

also like.

has the feeling Gilgamesh would understand Dazai's want to find Ango's murderer]

[sageking]

[ That's good. He kind of idly wondered if there was a way for the ghosts not to know they've obtained that information in the first place, at least for this week following the trial.

He's thinking, but in the middle of that, he'll offer an easy answer. ]

I've every intention of doing so. If the killer believes that they're to be granted mercy due to the motive, they're sorely mistaken.

[ Yeah, if anything, he absolutely would, despite everything through this entire week. Then, he'll decide to leave Dazai be. ]

[cw_suicide]

[honestly? Dazai would be 100% fine with that.

which is why he offers a formal bow, a little mechanically done but like. also sincerely respectful.]

Then, if it's all the same, having fulfilled a promised asked of me, I think I'll take my leave to go to him for a time.

[they don't have much time but he hasn't even seen the body yet.]
