RECORDING 14: THE FIFTH MURDER.

[foundationmods]

A fifth 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.

The Miasma is choking, almost triumphant as you search the hallways -

looking for the ones that have had their lives cut short so cruelly...

((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.))

[ This probably looks ridculous with the three of them moving over towards the sheets. He'll let go to sit down first, pulling them both down with him. ]

[accessorytomurder]

[She settles down with unassuming ease, a hand tangled in each of their jackets.]

I. I should've—I shouldn't have—drank so much—

[cw_suicide]

Hitoka...

[it's a tone of sad understanding. wasn't it just last week he was the one beating himself up for hearing nothing? (spoilers: he's still doing that)]

You wouldn't have said that to me last week when it was Ango. Don't say it to yourself now.

[onemolife]

Even if you hadn't drank, you wouldn't have seen anything. This place has been really unfair about that.

[ Moving to put his chin on her shoulder to get a bit closer. ]

'

[accessorytomurder]

...they're... both... I-I don't...

[She shakes her head, first slow, then harder.]

Wh-why... why them? If it wasn't an accident... h-how... how could anyone ever want to hurt them?!

[cw_suicide]

[aaaand his mind goes back to the chess set...

he glances over to WWX because what to do? it's not looking good at all.]

... I don't know... Giovanni's state, but... I think I may have. An idea of Battler's.

[onemolife]

[ meeting Dazai's look. ]

Giovanni may have just been in the wrong place at the wrong time. An opportunity kill to make sure people aren't shot randomly by the Vessel.

[ Since no one was offended by him and he was useful. It's the only answer that made sense...

or someone just wants chaos ]

[accessorytomurder]

...do you think... it was just one person, this time?

[cw_suicide]

... Subete had me thinking it was more than one person, the last time.

But I think it's more likely for this to have been multiple people. Battler's... was more methodic. Deliberate. Simple in execution.

[onemolife]

I can't really say until I hear all the evidence tomorrow.

[ Since he's only saw Battler's, and also saw whatever mess they passed by on the way to the laundry room, but he thinks he smelled soup? ]

[accessorytomurder]

...

[She hugs them both, sudden and fierce.]

You aren't allowed to volunteer. Neither of you.

[cw_suicide]

I'm not going to volunteer.

[but there's not a whole lot of optimism about how tomorrow's going to go in his tone]

[onemolife]

Don't worry, I have no plans on volunteering.

[ Not unless he's left with no other choice. ]

That goes the same for you, too. No volunteering.

[accessorytomurder]

As long as you two keep yourselves out of trouble...

[cw_suicide]

[he's so practiced in his smiles, this one actually looks pretty much like normal]

Ehhh... but who would be the rabble rouser otherwise?

[onemolife]

Maybe we should take turns? Then it'll be just one of us in trouble.

[accessorytomurder]

I guess... that means, i-it's my turn next?

[cw_suicide]

[he prods at WWX]

You've apparently been eliminated for already being too much a trouble-maker in a past life.

[onemolife]

Aiya~ But I haven't even gotten a chance to stir trouble here.

[ Why should he pay for his past lives sins. ]

Though if Yachi wants to be a troublemaker, maybe I should give her some pointers.

[accessorytomurder]

...all I have to do to cause trouble is threaten to turn into a phone while touching somebody.

[cw_suicide]

[his brain must be tired because for a moment he's vaguely confused?]

[cw_suicide]

[and then it clicks and she's rewarded with a harsh laugh of nigh-vicious amusement before he gives her a quick kiss.]

You. Continue to be wickedly clever.

[this his gf, no takebacks.]

[onemolife]

Ah, look at you. I was thinking of another kind of trouble, but that would be good, too.
