[there is no gentle way to do this on the pda.

but you know what that is perfectly fine they were doing CSI rp earlier what's one more--]

All hands, round up.

Think we've got as much as we can right now, so let's settle in and work it out -- together. Come to the usual meet-up spot as soon as you can, and we're not leaving until the perp's worked out. Bring your own joe and a wit sharp as can be, because we are in for the long haul.

Detective Akamatsu, signing out.

[...

a-anyway.

meng yao's done his best to preserve one (1) stephanie meanswell and she's currently laying on the couch in a state some may find familiar and others not at all, but she's very much alive -- if barely. have your shock and surprise, this is going to be once all evidence is collected icly. also after noah and kaede make a grave for miss vp god rest her soul.

...

hiro is allowed to be here, if he wants, if only because part of this is his sister's death and one of y'all had BETTER take care of him.

there are no snacks, no drinks unless you byoj (bring your own joe), and kaede will wait until... all or presumably all are filed in before she speaks.]

I hate to say this, but you all are easily more experienced with this than I am... Still, there's no reason to wait on this when one of our classmates has turned up dead, and another [she is assuming stephanie is theirs] is in the state that she is. I don't want to think one of us had anything to do with it, but turning away from the truth only invites more pain--

So let's lay out what we know and try not to go at each others' throats about it.

[please. even the most unbelievable, impossible happenings have roots to them, and she wants it solved -- not just for hiro's sake, who's pain is something she can barely imagine, but for stephanie and the vice principal, too.]

jesus god what is happening

[commences]

Hit you...?

( he's NEVER seen stephanie go through that many phases of anger, he's more of a five stages of grief guy himself, but he's staring at her confused.

it only takes a couple of seconds to stand up properly. )

You shouldn't tell lies during an investigation, we're trying to solve a murder.

[starrypoint]

[????????]

Maddy, you shouldn't hit kids. Or girls. Or girl kids.

[crystallomancy]

The correct reply to this is "You shouldn't hit anyONE," Baru-kun.

[starrypoint]

I gotta disagree. Some people definitely deserve to be hit, Natsume.

[crystallomancy]

I didn't say it was the right ONE, but the correct ONE.

( subaru's right that there are people who deserve to be hit )

[closewithnewintown]

-- We just went a whole month without killing anybody, and then you had to go right back to doing it?

[mermaidcursed]

( has nene let go? no. is she still managing to dig out her pda, turn it on and point to the date of the most recent messages? yes. it's january 12th... 2000. )

[crystallomancy]

...We went two months without killing anyone, actualLY, and unless Nagito-kun's decided to redefine our relationship as "Natsume Sakasaki's Enemy" he hasn't murdered anyone this month at ALL.

[closewithnewintown]

The only reason I'm not dead is because he's got weak little arms and can't swing a baseball bat too hard.

[she doesn't even know it's him she's just guessing]

[crystallomancy]

( .........actually that's really fair, he probably does suck at swinging baseball bats, you may continue )

[commences]

What a farce! Tell me, where did I...? Place your proof and I'll answer accordingly, there's no blood on my hands.

( he even shows his hands to say that's proof enough. )

What month are we in?

[closewithnewintown]

[crosses arms]

November.

[commences]

...November?

[closewithnewintown]

It comes after October and before December.

[commences]

So it's... November 1999 to you, right now?

( ... )

[closewithnewintown]

I mean, unless you put me in some kind of weird coma, like in a TV show.

[starrypoint]

[............ they might've. hello.]

So, uh. Happy new year. You missed Sporty by a hair.

[closewithnewintown]

[stares at him like literally what the fuck are you saying]

[starrypoint]

[PLEASE]

Which part are you struggling with? We're friends, so I'll help you out.

[closewithnewintown]

We're not.

... What'd I miss? [like how is she supposed to recall robbie's weird petnames without more context]

[commences]

Amazing...

( he claps, laughing softly as he shakes his head. ) How amazing, is that the type of person you believe me to be? If you want me to kill you, I'll do it correctly so that you don't have to tell any lies.

( his expression drops, a little tired. he know the offer won't be taken up, so he moves on. )

Tell me how I killed you.

[closewithnewintown]

Well, you failed. So there's that. [sounding inordinately pleased with herself like she had any influence on that.]

Um, so, I was in the bathroom, trying to save everybody! Because Nene's weird boyfriend said sometimes bad guys live in bathrooms, and since he's a bad guy that lives in a bathroom, he'd know, right? So, I was looking into the mirror trying to get the door to open up! But, instead it was all... weird? And it was warm! So, I was touching it, and then you hit me, and then you said my name, and now I'm here.

[BIG BREATH]

[commences]

( failing is not an option, especially when it comes to hope, but he'll hear this out before continuing. )

When you say weird... what was wrong with it?

( "you killed me," "ok but i want to know what was going on when i did" which is the mood of the conversation. he'll take a step towards her, pressing at the back of her head where she was rubbing. )

It being weird and warm is two separate things, you shouldn't leave out parts of the story.

[heroicpolonaise]

[go back to murdering...]

[heroicpolonaise]

[go back to...

she's gonna stare at komaeda.]
