[ Okay, so realistically they had to amend that statement, but isn't that just the case for everybody? Good people don't kill unless their hand is forced, and Hikaru believes his friends are good people. ]
I know anybody can be capable of such a thing, but unless we know the circumstances that proves it, I want to believe in them.
no subject
How badly burned that body was... doesn't necessarily mean it was for revenge, or something like that. It just means it was set on fire for a long time. Now, if it had a lot of stab wounds— he isn't putting the deliberate revenge idea out of mind completely but he will let it lie for now. )
Pop QUIZ. What are lavender, peppermint, and chamomile typically used for when it comes to practicing some type of occult or witchCRAFT, either separately or togeTHER?
no subject
Chamomile can be used for breaking hexes, just like nutmeg! We used a lot of that when Lucifer-senpai taught us—- uh. [ Imp banishment. But anyways, ]
But the three of them together, they're good for inducing sleep!
no subject
( finally someone who understands him... ngl i've been meaning to throw him at cultists for a while i just. life. )
The trio is also good for awakening your third EYE, that which can allow you to attune to the supernatural easiER. ( to become aware. ) Lavender is good for warding off evil spirits and is often used in rites of purificaTION, and peppermint... or more accurateLY, mint in general is a favorite among those casting spells and rituals to keep out anything wickED.
( ... )
So maybe it wasn't maliCIOUS, but that's how it simply ended UP. A ritual to cleanse the pool of its beast gone WRONG, or perhaps someone affected by a deMON.
( but there's only a select number of people who can see the monster, judging by how many people still like swimming with it, so maybe that isn't even a factor--just an after thought...
he'll keeping inducing sleep in mind, too. )
Does that sound possible to you for any of your lovely senPAI, Goto-kun?
no subject
Hmm... That sounds a lot more advanced than the stuff we're learning together, but maybe some of the third years who know more than I do? If they're learning things on their own...
[ Anything is possible, they want to say. Probable? still a maybe. They'd also work hard too learning complicated new magic all by themselves if that means impressing Lucifer-senpai someday. ]
no subject
...Your group ( specific, not club ) existed prior to Lucifer-san and Master Clamor being around, RIGHT? Where did you get robes and the like from beFORE?
no subject
[ As long as they've been here, they remember Lucifer and maybe was blinded to everybody else to stay consistent with them stalking Clamor their first thread like they've never seen him before. But the school's got a long, long, history, and their group probably goes back just as far? ]
We get two sets at initiation, so we'd have the second set to wear while the first is in the laundry.
no subject
Just like our school uniFORMS. ( idly said, not really that important... ) So you couldn't tell who's missing theirs currentLY, no more than you could tell if any of your group is dead at the moMENT.
( ... )
Goto-kun, clarify something for ME. What made you run from the pool shouting from Lucifer-san anyWAY?
no subject
[ Said in the same way like... when you ask a kid what do they do when they need help and they say call 911, very matter-of-fact. ]
no subject
But was it the body you saw and mistook for a monSTER, or... ( he tilts his head, eyes narrowed. ) Can you see the TRUTH?
no subject
[ STOP look they saw something large and black surfacing like a whale, how were they supposed to know it was a body ]
no subject
...Never MIND. ( sigh, okay ) I was just curious if you were like US... If you could see spiRITS.
no subject
Oh. Yeah, I can. That thing wasn't a spirit, though.
no subject
...You should say hi to Haruka-chan when you see HER. She likes meeting people who can see HER. ( just. as a note. but anyway— ) If it isn't a spiRIT, why can't regular people see IT? Unless you're discounting it just because it's a terrifying sea monster-like existence that enjoys eating peoPLE.
no subject
You said it was a body... That's what I saw— and what everybody else saw too, right? The thing living down there doesn't come up where it's light, so nobody would be able to have seen it.
no subject
and that... is true, so they weren't counting on it being munched—would that mean they were just as shocked that it came back up? if they learned about it, that is. time to keep an eye out for people acting strange he guesses. )
...Maybe quizzing you was a waste of TIME. ( except for the part where he can just get haruka a new friend, that's important. ) Sorry for the trouble and the suspiCION, Goto-kun. I made a promise to try and prevent any incidents from occuRING, so you could say I'm a little stressed about it already being broKEN.
( also he's kind of reactionary. )
no subject
Hikaru doesn't really know what to think about this being a waste of time, because they were really hoping to be helpful— they'd even answered Natsume's rock question well. But they shake their head at the apology, glad enough to accept it. ]
That's... really quite a promise. Because bad things will always happen, senpai, you can't protect everybody from everything.
no subject
also he feels like he wasted their time... hikaru's a good kid though, maybe he'll visit them in the dorm. )
I know, and I know it was completely ludicrous to try and promise such a thing as WELL... I've made plenty of impossible promises this year, actualLY.
( saying he'll talk to people before he acts, promising not to lie to certain people, no murders, preventing incidents, returning soul fragments, swearing he'll rely on others when he needs to... )
But magicians are capable of many impossible THINGS. ( A little smile. ) And plenty of STRANGE, seemingly impossible things have happened HERE, so I'll let myself be a little hopeful that I can do someTHING.
no subject
I'm sure you will! Even if it's hard to keep those sorts of promises, you still made them, right? At least you're trying your hardest, rather than not trying at all, and I bet your efforts will pay off in the end!
no subject
Do you have a favorite aniMAL?
no subject
Rabbits?
[ This sure is a quick shift in conversation away from them trying to comfort Natsume but okay, they have no reason not to answer ]
no subject
...NoTED. Thank YOU. ( for answering and also attempting to comfort him it's fine. ) ...I'll see you aROUND.
( maybe he can get em sn origami rabbit or s/t in thanks )
