speaking of against the law - who wants to talk about murders?

[samuraiwomen]

Who: :3
What: Discussing the murders of 9/12 and 9/17
When: 9/18, Evening after all classes and clubs.
Where: The common room of the dorms.
Warnings: Will update...but we're discussing a murder!




[ Some times the next day, Sara starts finding as many people as she can and asking them to please try to be in the dorms this evening. Everything has been chaotic since Clamor's death, and she'd like some clarity.

By sometime after clubs, she's moved Narumi's body out in the common room (perhaps with Akira's help if he was willing), and has started a fire in the fireplace. It's getting chillier at night, and any discussion of a murder mystery plot deserves some ambiance.

She forgot to go get some snacks, but please, feel free to bring some. ]

[Noah will probably be annoying about wanting that back, since it was Clamor's — he's wearing the man's pendant, after all — but that's not the point.]

I... I don't know. That sort of magic... I can't do it. Clamor and I had a sort of pact, but... that was back when he was in weapon form.

[His glare looks a little pouty.]

[mermaidcursed]

Oh... um.

Hanako-kun?

( boy, your girl is callin for you to check a THING. )

[hanaban]

[ All she has to do is say the word and her ghost boy is here, coming up behind her and throwing his arms over her shoulders to pull her into a hug because yes, hello. ]

Hm? Did you need me, Yashiro?

[mermaidcursed]

( ah, hanako hugs for nene? yes please! she wishes she could be more happy about it though. )

Ah- well... I was hoping you could tell if someone's soul is trapped in an object. ... Clamor- he'd been possessed and there was body hijacking happening? ( you did it to her once :/ ) And we don't know what happened to him... but we found his monocle.

[hanaban]

[ laughs a little at body hijacking bc yeah... good times

ahem. This sounds like a serious conversation, so even though he doesn't keep the smile off his face, he does relax his hold on Nene for the moment. ]

And you think his soul is inside the monocle? Let me see it.

[ With his hands, not with his eyes; he holds his hand out in front of Nene, just assuming she has it, because she's always his bearer of supernatural objects. ]

[notsosou]

[Sorry Noah, he's not intending to hold it back it's just... things have been hectic. You'll probably get it back by meeting's end assuming it's not required for anything else because he likes to sit on things but he's not heartless.

Hanako suddenly appearing gets a tiny jolt out of him but he holds out the monocle by it's string for the observational purposes.]

Ah, it's... here.

[hanaban]

[ There's a grin— almost a smirk— at Shin's skittishness, but he takes the monocle from him, holding it by the frame and, just like Shin did when he first picked it up, holds it in front of one eye and squeezes the other shut.

...

... ]

It's prescription. [ blurry... He lowers his hand, but doesn't give it back. ] But it's just an object. Why did you think his soul would be in here?

[ It's a personal object, sure, but it's also just eyewear. ]

[crystallomancy]

I knew a girl who had a piece of her soul sealed into an ordinary TOY.

( ... )

It didn't seem out of the realm of possibility for something to be trapped THERE.

( though considering the timeline... no, probably not. )

[silentabyss]

[Shoulders slump... he's fine. He's totally not fine.]

[mermaidcursed]

Well, I can't tell where souls are, and- we haven't been able to find him yet. ... If... if he wasn't trapped somewhere, he knows he could come to me. And he hasn't.

( they were clinging to a bit of hope. )

[hanaban]

[ Hanako gives Nene a look, because aren't the souls in the tree? Having your soul be sealed in a toy is kind of sad, though. ]

A toy, huh? Unless that's something people carry around school, it sounds like that was prepared in advance. Sure, this thing [ holds the monocle up to his eyes again ] is convenient, but it's not like when somebody dies, their soul goes inside the closest thing.

[mermaidcursed]

... We thought that because of the spell used to replace his soul in his body, maybe the person who did that would have... put him away, or something. Maybe because keeping him alive would have been... wiser, or something. Not... ...

( she trails off, looking away.

what a cruel way to go. )

[silentabyss]

[okay NOW noah goes out in the hallway for a second to just shriek at the top of his lungs. yes you can all hear it.

yes he comes back and sits down like nothing happened.]

[mermaidcursed]

( can she give him a hug again )

[silentabyss]

[yes, he'll just kind of flop over onto her tho.]

[mermaidcursed]

( hugs from behind from a dead boy, flopped on by a boy who wants to be dead, she's really livin the 'i'm your walking comfort object' life isn't she )

[notsosou]

[He's just gonna grab at the dangling string and try to tug it back into his possession while Noah is screaming...]
