[second connection] ➱ open log
WHO: Himeko Inaba and you!
WHEN: Various dates in April; first prompt is before the murder discussion, second prompt is after.
WHAT: Regain related shenanigans!! She's also trying to get into the student council room, too. It's probably fine. Also if anybody wants to do wildcard options, there's that, too.
↳ option one. [ locker area / april 18th / early morning ]
↳ option two. [ near the student council room / april 26 / after school ]
↳ option wildcard.

↳ option one. [ locker area / april 18th / early morning ]
- [Inaba has a tendency to head to the locker areas in the early hours of the morning, mostly not only to blend in with the crowd and see if there are any changes to the faces that she sees so that she can denote that.
But what she also winds up finding is the black cat, playing with something...
...and it's dizzying, as she watches it, her hand on her head as if she's almost about to stumble. But then, it leaves the item, which seems to be coated in blood.
And she stops, freezes, catches her breath when the cat leaves her be and she just... looks at the item in still shock silence before her eyes widen even more at the familiarity.]
... Eh?
[She doesn't realize that her mouth was moving as she speaks those words, crouching down as she picks it up carefully.
Of course, holding something covered in blood --
That's probably going to get a few eyes, isn't it?]
↳ option two. [ near the student council room / april 26 / after school ]
- [After hearing everything that has to be said with the whole murders and such, Inaba knew what she had to do.
Seeing is believing, after all, and well...
Trusting others never came easy. The problem is that she doesn't have the key to the student council room, and she's not the type of person to actually ask, out of potential suspicion, but she might have to at some point.
But for now, she just lurks in a corner, wondering if anybody else will make the attempt to go in.]
↳ option wildcard.
- [Want to play something outside of the above? Feel free to hit me up on plurk at

Although she finds herself looking a little awkward as she's tugged a bit, although she keeps her expression even, in spite of her hands slightly shaking but not wanting to let go of the pendant.]
...
[She sighs.]
Alright.
[To the bathrooms it is!!]
no subject
No one else is in here, Inaba-san, you're okay now. ... Can... you tell me what happened?
no subject
You're okay, she says.
...No, she's not okay. Not in the slightest bit. But she doesn't say that, instead smiling it off because like always, she has to lie to protect herself.
She can't have people worry, or be concerned over her problems. She can't be seen as weak. Not in a place like this.]
I'll be fine. [It's a weak answer, ignoring the question.] It's not important, anyway.
no subject
( she perceived it, sorry inaba. )
no subject
I don't know what you're talking about.
no subject
Inaba-san, I know we don't know each other well, but you're clearly shaken up. I want to help.
no subject
"I want to help," she says.
... since when did she get so weak that she's basically transparent...? Even as her fingers tremble she grips the pendant tightly behind her back, shaking her head as she stares into the bathroom mirrors. ]
And how exactly would you do that? A person like me - [ There's the implications there, of something nasty underneath the surface. Disgust. Self-loathing. Hatred, directed inwards. She shakes her head. ] No. It really doesn't matter. Whatever you saw, just forget about it. "Help" isn't necessary for me. You should be giving that to someone who really deserves it and can actually use it.
no subject
I can listen. I can talk and distract- We're all here together, Inaba-san. I can't sit idly by and let you just... shoulder this on your own. We have to support each other.
( but then... she really can't force inaba to accept her or her help regardless, can she? )
no subject
[ She snaps, almost instinctively out of frustration as her fingers grip even tighter at the still bloodied pendant behind her back, almost too tightly. As if her nails could bleed into the skin.
But then she sighs, shaking her head. ]
Sorry... I know. I know that we have to help each other, but... distracting isn't going to cut it. Distracting is just running away from any problems, and I'm not...
[...]
Maybe I should go. Classes are going to start soon anyway.
[ As if she actually needs them.
She doesn't. ]
