week 3 | late monday
Date: 2017-12-13 10:20 pm (UTC)I have some info you might need.
no subject
Date: 2017-12-13 10:23 pm (UTC)i was hoping to get everything together.
honestly someone volunteering that instead of being weird and cryptic about it is a big positive change in my life lately.
what's up?
no subject
Date: 2017-12-13 11:46 pm (UTC)And there's a letter that I found.
[ His hand hurts... so texting is hard. ]
Any chance I can show you in person?
no subject
Date: 2017-12-14 02:57 am (UTC)sure. let's meet in the food court?
no subject
Date: 2017-12-14 10:20 pm (UTC)Sure thing.
I'll see you there.
no subject
Date: 2017-12-14 10:25 pm (UTC)What's up?
no subject
Date: 2017-12-14 10:48 pm (UTC)Hey...
[ He holds a bag out that has a few drinks inside -- some are canned sodas, bottle water, tea... most made by Goro.
Really, he just doesn't want it going to waste... ]
A few things, actually.
[ Whether she takes something, or not, he'll be setting the bag down. ]
First, whatever happened between Kurama and me seems to have worn off... [ he tugs at the bandage on his hand ] ... even though the shared injuries are still the same.
[ He shrugs a shoulder. ]
Second, take a look at this.
[ He's passing her a letter. ]
no subject
Date: 2017-12-14 10:52 pm (UTC)[She'll definitely take a soda, and then peruse the letter.]
Well...the color and the attitude sounds like LC, but the...syntax? Is off? I think? Plus, we can sort of see her. I've never seen anyone actually serving food or coffee here. Apparently I should be tipping...
no subject
Date: 2017-12-14 11:28 pm (UTC)[ He's holding a can in his own hands, very, very lightly rolling it between bandaged hands. ]
That was my first thought. It doesn't match her speech patterns, and... yeah. We can see her...
[ He pulls out another piece of paper. It has all the questions and answers (even down to shift between two different colors, like with the last answer) except for the sixth. So... there are only six total Q&As, basically. ]
I got that letter not long before I went to try out that board game Croix told us about. I talked to Goro.
[ Holding the paper out for her. ]
I took a moment to compare that letter to the answers I got, and then went to talk to Kurama and Karma about it. We're gonna take the information we already have, and then pick fourteen more questions together.
no subject
Date: 2017-12-15 02:15 am (UTC)[Jude was always the brains of the sibling duo...and if she squinted, Akira looked a little bit like Jude when he'd had his glasses on. Other than the straight teeth, acceptable fashion choices, general level of hygiene, and...okay, they aren't actually that similar, but she's reaching for a lifeline from a more experienced rebel here.]
no subject
Date: 2017-12-15 02:32 am (UTC)You got it, Captain.
[ The playful tone isn't especially so, but at least it's a sign he's trying his damnest to just be okay again. ]
Any specific questions you'd consider asking? I know one I'm choosing involves whether, or not, everyone on that side has died at some point, that they know of.
[ He twists a small portion of his bangs. ]
We're thinking they might have more people on that side who are like the Life Coach, or--
[ mmmMMMM... why didn't he think of it before? Especially after what was suggested... ]
I wonder if the Life Coach can pass freely between our side and that side.
[ That would mean they need to start asking her more questions about it, but who's to say she's even allowed to answer... ]
no subject
Date: 2017-12-15 02:44 am (UTC)We should probably ask her about it...
[She thinks.]
For now, though, I can ask a ghost about who else is over there. Maybe if there's any parts of the mall they can get to and we can't if that doesn't pan out.
no subject
Date: 2017-12-15 08:00 am (UTC)There's actually a small twitch of his lips at that, and he lifts a finger to press it against them. ]
What if it's Captain Prima Frienderina?
[ Well, you just signed the Teasing Waiver by calling yourself his friend, so... ]
Right. [ a nod ] Asking her after all four of us have had the chance to get our answers should work, because we'll have more information to work with for our questions.
[ A pause. ]
Even if there's some reason she's forbidden from telling us something, I'm sure we can find a way to read between lines with what she does tell us.
no subject
Date: 2017-12-15 08:36 pm (UTC)[She appreciates it, though.]
Yeah. It definitely feels like she wants to tell us more than she's allowed to, but I guess that just means we have to listen harder.
no subject
Date: 2017-12-15 11:55 pm (UTC)She might notice said hesitance lingering around him before he takes a sip. ]
Yeah. And sometimes it's a matter of listening for what people aren't saying...
no subject
Date: 2017-12-16 02:48 am (UTC)Yeah...like how you're not saying Akechi made these, but there's no other reason you'd seem so sad drinking them.
no subject
Date: 2017-12-17 04:02 am (UTC)Ah...
[ Yep. Called out. He gives a small, sad smile down at the soda. ]
Before him... these soda always reminded me of being in the Metaverse. They functioned as healing items back there, too.
no subject
Date: 2017-12-18 05:42 am (UTC)He's supporting you from where he is now. I mean, I tell myself that about my mom every day, but in Akechi's case it's probably literally true.
no subject
Date: 2017-12-20 01:02 am (UTC)He just became what might've looked like a vending machine junkie to Makoto when she was spying on him. ]
Your mom?
[ Quietly, he takes a sip of the drink. ]
Heh... I'm sure he's hanging around at least a few of us, fretting whenever we do something like skipping a meal or not getting enough sleep...
[ Sooooooo... he's fretting a lot over Akira at the moment maybe. ]
no subject
Date: 2017-12-20 07:43 am (UTC)[Just kinda staring at her drink now.]
Not like Akechi, who's probably yelling at us to get on with planning stuff right now, or something.
no subject
Date: 2017-12-20 10:48 am (UTC)Then, he moves to lean back a little, letting the can rest against his lips for a moment before he speaks. ]
Our last conversation involved him saying the last thing he'd ever want for me, is for me to be chained to the past.
[ He holds a blink, and then shakes his head. ]
I don't think he wants that for any of us, so... I firmly believe Goro's the kind of person who wants us to keep going forward. I'd think he wants us to not dwell on what we couldn't do.
[ A tiny, sheepish smile... ]
no subject
Date: 2017-12-21 02:32 pm (UTC)[When did Joey decide she was going to be a dancer? When did she decide she loved puzzles? Was it before, after, or right after inheriting a mysterious heirloom?]
I think you're exactly right. Akechi and...everyone, really, they're gone so we could keep going. Intentionally or not, that's what happened. We can't stop now.
no subject
Date: 2017-12-21 07:56 pm (UTC)[ A more assured smile surfaces for just a moment, and then he gives the best smile of a firm believer he can manage. ]
It's not over until we say it is.
