three reconnections ➱ text post (ic: 10/16)

Who: Himeko Inaba and YOU.
What: Talk about death
When: 9/21
Where: Your PDAs, but will probably move to action.
Warnings: Mentions of death.

I know a lot has been going on as of late and I apologize for adding onto everyone's plate here because of it.

But I think some of you who knew me from before haven't been telling me what exactly happened to me from what I don't recall. So I want to know the truth.

Naturally, a public forum isn't the best place for that, so if anybody is willing to be honest with me and not sugarcoat any crap, I'll be in 3-B.

[ Really, it was curiosity on Bonnie's part that brought her here. It wasn't like she had spoken much to Inaba before or after she died, but reading before and some kind of secret was just hard to ignore. It might shed some light on whoever attacked her.

And so she's here, slipping in and taking a seat at a desk, as if she was just attending class. ]

Hope this is worth the time.

[commences]

so you were curious about what i said.

[dereban]

Do I have a reason not to be?

[commences]

not too many lesson, or want to accept it.
i'll commend it, actually.

[dereban]

I'm not saying that I've 'accepted' it or anything. After all, why would I simply trust someone's words immediately?

[commences]

why did you make this post?

[dereban]

Curiosity killed the cat.

I wanted to know if someone else knew and would tell me.

[commences]

how fitting, you have died before. so i'll let you have third place behind lily may and bev.

did anyone explain it to you?

[dereban]

If it's not, then they just don't simply want to say anything. Or they don't remember. Either way, that's fine by me--I'll just force an answer, somehow.

[dereban]

I don't know if I like having third place for that, specifically.

Nobody's told me yet. I assume they didn't want to alarm me, but there really is no need for that.

[commences]

if you ever get the chance to meet them, you'll know that i'm right about your placement.

oh, that's a shame... if only you could ask someone who probably knows.
sighs...

[dereban]

Still don't like it!

With the way you're saying it, and given how you spoke about it before, you probably know, but I'd actually like to hear it from someone else for once.

[commences]

are animals fond of you?

hm? of course i know, but if i didn't tell you then, i wouldn't tell you now.
planting the seed of that idea was more than enough!

[dokkans]

[ Hmmm. ]

You could always track down someone you know would know something and get them to talk. If they're hiding the truth, then they're going to hide themselves too.

[dereban]

There's someone that I know that might know something, but I don't want to hear it from him.

[Is it petty? Perhaps.]

I'd rather hear it from anyone else.

[dokkans]

Aw, well that's not too nice of you, Miss Inaba. Even liars mix in the truth from time to time.

If you don't want to ask him, maybe I will. He might know a few things I'd love to know.

[ As in, who the hell killed her. The, ugh, second time. ]

[dereban]

It doesn't matter if animals are fond of me or not, is it?

And I'm not so rude as to make that assumption. What do you mean 'it was more than enough'...

[commences]

sounds like someone who is bad with animals!
please get along with lily may when you meet her.

i believe we all deserve to be on the same page, i just want to help inspire hope, that's all!

[dereban]

Didn't say he was a liar. More that he's a pain in the ass to deal with and likes going around in circles.

[She is way too tired for this.]

If you want to deal with him, feel free, but I sure as hell am not. If I want to find the truth, I'm going through different avenues for it.

[dereban]

I'm not going to be rude to an animal when I see one, geez.

Being on the same page would be nice if people didn't decide to be either be cryptic assholes or withold information.

[dokkans]

[ Mental note to do so. If only to have the info!! ]

Hmm. What happens if there's no real path to the truth that you want?

[commences]

how horrible... withholding information, it's a common theme because they wouldn't want others to worry.
you'll see for yourself.

[dereban]

It's stupid.

Because it means that people wind up hurting each other more because of it.

[dereban]

That's not possible.

[It's an immediate response. She won't believe that there isn't a real path to the truth.]

I will find out.

[commences]

or they'll kill to keep it protected, you never know with half of the students here.
no worries, as long as you don't involve yourself with the wrong people!

[dokkans]

Oh, you misunderstand me. The truth can be a lot of things, but the big biiig question is, what do you want the truth to be?

Me? I hope the person who's been really bad is still here so I can find them.

[dereban]

"What I want it to be"-- that doesn't really matter, does it? Something that I want doesn't mean that it's actually true. But I'm not going to delude myself if the truth is something distasteful.

Oh, I really hope that they're still here, because they're going to have to pay for what they did.

[dereban]

People need to get a new hobby besides murder.

[dokkans]

Oh! That makes things easier then. You know, they say the enemy of my enemy is my ally, yes?

[ Deliberate phrasing, naturally. ]

In that case, I'll help you out! If your truth leads you to them, let me know! I'll make sure you can see them pay.

[dereban]

I do know that phrase. But I'd be willing to take any help. I'll need to come up with some ideas on how to do that...

[Especially since she's definitely not planning on doing a murder because she isn't about that life. Besides, there are things worse than death.]

If it doesn't, I'll be pissed, to be honest.

[dokkans]

I have a few suggestions, but I wanna get a good glimpse of what I have to work with here first.

[ Luckily for her, if death isn't permanent, she gets to do it again! And again and again! ]

[commences]

why? isn't it the other participants fault if they get killed?

[dereban]

No.

[commences]

isn't protecting one's self a thing?

[dereban]

Just because it is doesn't mean you blame the victim for dying. Don't be stupid.

[commences]

they really should have did more to protect themselves, just like the killer did what they could do to kill.
sighs... serial killers are just the worst!

( ugh. )

[dereban]

Not everyone is expecting to get attacked or killed on a certain day or time. Just because they "didn't do more" doesn't make it so that their death was pointless, or that they should have died.

[commences]

their death would never be pointless! when someone dies, there's a reason for it.

hm... i see, i understand.
