[ flayn is dead! we are all pikashook. shinobu isn't happy. the sky is blue.

she's pacing, no smile to be seen. ]

The entertainment seems to have begun, hasn't it?

[ hi, cloud. ]

[skyagain]

[ hello shinobu, who has had a lot of joy today and no downsides at all. cloud is also thrilled. ]

Yeah. And it looks like this hotel stay isn't as free as it seemed.

[ THAT RECEIPT THOUGH HE IS SO ANNOYED ]

[wisterin]

[ KLDSJFLSJ LEAVE IT TO A MERCENARY TO THINK ABOUT THE RECEIPT THAT WAY

it's too soon for her to smile in annoyance, but she gets it. ]

The payment is something we all don't want to afford. It's a shame we can't complain about it to upper management.

[skyagain]

[ he's actually mad that it's a bad joke ]

Yeah. Surprising no one, they can't be reached by typewriter.

[wisterin]

I would not want to sound too much like Tsurumaru-san and steal his words, but I would very much like that kind of surprise instead.

[ how much does she have to pay for a good surprise in this hotel ]

[skyagain]

Same here, but I doubt there's gonna be any kind of good surprise in this place going forward.

[wisterin]

We're all expecting a downward spiral, aren't we?

[skyagain]

That's usually how it goes. ... But we've clawed our way back up before.

[wisterin]

There's no other option for us but to make it out.

[ whatever the odds, shinobu can only try to claw her way up. ]

At least, I don't think anyone will accept another option.

[skyagain]

Guess that's the upside of dragging us all into a round two of this. We've gotten really good at keeping things up out of spite.

[wisterin]

[ that gets a smile out of her even if it's not the nicest smile. ]

Spite is a good motivator.

[ she looks up at him. ]

Will you be all right tomorrow?

[skyagain]

Me?

[ looks down at her?? ]

Why wouldn't I be?

[wisterin]

Was I mistaken in believing everyone who had a statue in the courtyard was someone who hasn't directly tried to solve a murder in this situation?

[ how is not being a npc during a trial going to go for you, butt strife? ]

[skyagain]

... No, you're right. [ Unfortunately. ] But I still had to watch all of them. And we didn't know the real culprits unless they were on our team, so we tried to figure things out for ourselves, too.

[wisterin]

That's a relief to hear.

[ better than what she has heard from some other people. ]

I will put my faith in you.

[skyagain]

[ uh. ]

... I don't know if I'd go that far. I'm not exactly a mystery kind of guy.

[wisterin]

[ if it were any other day, she'd laugh. still, she manages a small smile. ]

Won't you let me have a little faith? I want to believe in people, despite everything.

[ despite how she knows someone murdered and someone died. ]

[skyagain]

... Sure. [ like, he doesn't get the idea of having faith in people, but sure? whatever? floats her boat? ] We've all been through this before. Hopefully it means we can actually solve them.

[ it will probably not mean that ]

[wisterin]

[ she thinks it helps others as much as it helps herself. she's trying not to be too much of a debbie downer despite how smad she is. ]

It will at least help us push forward even if we don't solve all of them.

[ crau1's success in voting guilty is probably one of the worst, not that shinobu knows that. ]

[skyagain]

... I'd hope we can at least get this one right, to start. We'll see what happens from there.

[ redacted was. 50/50. sure. let's go with that. ]

week 1, thursday

[skyagain]

[ idk where they are it's fine cloud is no longer bloody, has grabbed back his comfort sword and looks better!! just. tired. it is also hard to tell how healed he is because of all the CLOTHES. hello shinobu how are you ]

[wisterin]

[ she frowns at ALL OF HIS CLOTHES

glad that he's cleaner and washed(?) and dressed but HIS WOUNDS..... he's just going to say he's fine if nothing can be seen. :/ ]

Cloud-san. [ her concern is so clear. ] How much were you treated?

[skyagain]

[ that's why he wore it, nyehehe ]

One of the staff got the worst of it. I'm good. The arm's the only thing still healing.

[wisterin]

[ she knows. this is why she considers emo men who pretend they're fine prime bullying targets. ]

Is it cleaned and bandaged?

[skyagain]

Yeah. I'm not interested in losing it to an infection.

[ he's RESPONSIBLE!! sometimes. mostly. i won't say what the bandages are made out of ]
