[at least they're moving

mikazuki munechika will follow after, letting his eyes roam over the death announcement once more, but is otherwise silent]

[preowned]

[ they walk for several more minutes before he just stops and turns to face him. ]

What now?

[unsaid]

[he tilts his head to the side]

You place the direction in my hands?

[preowned]

I only place my own hand in yours.

[ and he will do so. ]

[unsaid]

[ . . . hmmm.

mikazuki will first take tsurumaru's hand then, and pull lightly to encourage him closer.

once he is, he gives him one kiss, soft and lingering.

welcome to friday, tsurumaru kuninaga.]

[preowned]

[ thank you. friday stinks.

but it is frustratingly nice to be alive.

he pulls away slightly. ]

I do not remember how trial works.

[unsaid]

... it is a day-long endeavor....

[ . . . . ]

And we are meant to find the killer.

[nice]

[preowned]

Seven hours is such a long time...

[ it's nine hours ]

[unsaid]

[he's not telling him]

Likely some of the staff will be there... perhaps to answer questions?

[preowned]

In their mysterious capes...

[ he's assigning them costumes ]

Ah, well, we'll figure it out.

[unsaid]

Many of our number will be quite disappointed if we do not.

[the femblems... shinobu....]

Were you close with her?

[preowned]

I wouldn't say close.

[ flayn never fuckin died, so. ]

But we did spend time together here, since we already know each other and shared the restroom.

[unsaid]

[hmm.

mikazuki will let his other hand rest over tsurumaru's heart, wondering.]

... are her feelings gone from yours?

[the weird effect that made dimitri cry,]

[preowned]

They are. Completely severed.

And I can't really guess when it happened, since we were forced to sleep.

[ cucked from hints ]

[unsaid]

Upon the strike of midnight... perhaps it is time yet for us to begin to care for how the hours pass.

[time doesn't matter when you're a time traveling sword???/]

My... what an oddity to experience it as you all have.

[he misses his npc rights]

[preowned]

It will be a learning curve. I cannot imagine you doing a strip check.

[ there will be one, because there always is. ]

[unsaid]

Ha ha ha ha.

You would be doing the strip check for me.

[LITERALLY JIJI WOULD JUST STAND THERE AND TSURU WOULD HAVE TO DO ALL THE WORK]

[preowned]

I am not sure why I expected otherwise.

[unsaid]

[he lifts their joined hands to kiss the back of tsuru's]

I would simply delay us more if it was left to myself.

[he hums faintly]

We shall see. I will participate if they find reason to request it, else I do not wish to remove us both for participation.

[because that's what would happen,]

[preowned]

We'll see if anyone lets you get away with it.

[ hard to say. harrow is here. ]

... I wonder why they went for her. I suppose at a glance she seems harmless.

[ flayn is so very small. ]

[unsaid]

[harrow also hates stripping]

'Motive' is a curious thing.

Even though we found ourselves enveloped in darkness before we slept, I do not know yet if we can assume it is a matter of corruption.

[preowned]

I think we should proceed as if they were in their right of mind, until we find out otherwise. And we likely won't know until they're caught.

... focusing too much on that type of possibility might distract everyone...

[unsaid]

Mm...

[he hums thoughtfully]

Though it brings us again to wonder why anyone would choose Flayn, or act immediately with such aggression.

The staff were not particularly enlightening with their explanations on how to save our hostages... at the very least, not publicly. So why move so swiftly?

[preowned]

Maybe they gave someone more information? Although they made it sound like it would depend entirely on whether we decided to act or not...

[ which implies it would be like. without prompt. ]

[unsaid]

Perhaps so. An advantage for one individual, that prompted them to act desperately - and on the usual schedule.

[damn thursdays always suck]

Curious.
