WEEK 3 - INVESTIGATION

[foundationmods]

INVESTIGATION

The wakeup is familiar - yet not any less nerve-wracking. Though you have survived the night, the knowledge that the Mafia - the monsters - have killed is ringing loudly in your mind.

The hotel speakers crackle to life just like before, drawing your attention and startling you. Heart racing, you listen to the announcement...

...And there seems to be ominous music in the halls...


??? GUESTS REMAIN.

GORE WARNING FOR THIS LOG.

[He's thunking his forehead against whatever part of Akira he can. Preferably the shoulder, but he's not picky.]


I should have stayed with her.

[purrtagonist]

[he'll get the shoulder! Akira isn't pulling away]

. . .

It isn't your fault.

[moonlightbeast]

I was right there , why didn't I stay?

[Hey so yeah, that tone he's using might sound familiar.]

[purrtagonist]

[oh. oh. yeah, he knows that tone]

Listen, Atsushi-- not your fault.

[focusing on someone else panicking is enough to snap Akira out of his own shock]

Iwai stayed with me last night, and he still was targeted. That's how these monsters work.

It's not your fault for not staying with her, okay?

[moonlightbeast]

[On some level he knows Akira is right. Even if he had stayed, he would have just fallen asleep. But it's still hard to accept, given how lightly he usually sleeps.]

She's not a fighter, she must have been terrified.

[purrtagonist]

[it's extremely hard to accept, and Akira may be somewhat of a hypocrite for trying to assuage Atsushi's guilt when his gnaws at the lining of his stomach. but. . . hey, he's like that]

We can still talk to her.

. . . we should check in, to see if she's okay.

[moonlightbeast]

...mmm. Alright. I'll talk to her later.

[It's still hard to tell, but. He's calmed down a bit for now, at least?]

[purrtagonist]

[FOR NOW]

Good.

I will, too.
