(mingle) cat herding, round two

[sisters]

( on february 2, transfer students will find that there are notes hung up around the dormitory with doctor's scrawl handwriting that a few people might recognize scribbled across it. it reads: )

TRANSFER MEETING
february 2, 5:00 p.m.
dorm common room

( the early-arrivers will find that amami is already set up in the common room, making himself comfortable on the far side of one of the couches with a sketchbook, but beyond a wave and a smile he won't offer much to speak of. it's only once it looks like there's a good handful of people that he'll glance around, grimace a bit, and speak up. )

So... I'm sure you guys already know why we're here, right?

( rest in piss, hiro. legend almost took two transfer students with him on his way. )

I know I might not be the person anyone wants to hear this from, but I figure everyone's had some time to gather evidence and any witnesses we might've had by now. I don't like the idea of this continuing more than anyone else, and if we want to keep it from happening again, it's probably best if we compile what we know.

( and unfortunately what he knows is nothing, because he was busy getting stabbed, so the floor is officially open. )

---

(ICly, this meeting begins on February 1. However, to keep us from trapping ourselves in another time cube, when things start to slow down, Amami will pitch that they regroup in a couple days. The details don't matter so much, but you can assume they'll come back for more discussion intermittently if anything new comes to light before Disney. This doesn't all have to be in one day! Feel free to PM/ping me anywhere if you'd like me to add any other helpful links. )

I'd say that's the definition of a hunch... Browbeating people into submission only gets you what they think you want, Sara.

[And it's clear she did want Subaru to be innocent, even with the accusations. Sara does, admittedly, get results but...]

Pleading your innocence in response to accusation is only natural... it doesn't mean anything. Focus on the evidence instead... Ahaha, we do need more.

[He'll give her that much. It's tricky since the chance of finding something relevant ticks down by the day.]

The last time Subaru killed someone he got so upset I found him lying facedown in the snow. All his smiles were forced. That's evidence I can bet on.

[ Sorry to reveal your practicum kills my fellow gingey but he was not...unaffected by that. Maya and Hiro were also his friends, making it even less likely he'd be upset. Look, she'd known all this last time she'd accused Subaru, and he hadn't cracked an inch. He'd been upset, honest, and genuine, exactly how she'd expect. Either he's the best liar she's ever met, or he's truely innocent. She didn't go out of her way to accuse Subaru and Amami last time so they could waste time here again! ]

I didn't browbeat him anyway, we talked as friends. He's your friend too, Sou. We've already suspected him, and we found nothing, so we should move on.

...

......

[There's a lot he could be thinking here, swirling around his head. About friends, and forced smiles, and that Subaru's killed someone... he could say something snarky about that being how Sara talks as a friend as well, but at the end of the day...]

Fine... The conversation's gone ahead, anyway.

[He'll take her word for it.]

[starrypoint]

[ooh...... subaru's not looking at her, smile a little more dulled as he keeps an ear out on the rest of the floor.

...

she told... maybe only shin heard... his wrist feels hot, but he resists the urge to scratch it.]

[samuraiwomen]

[ She...didn't yell it, if it counts. Hopefully only Shin heard, and he can keep a secret. ]

[notsosou]

[He can, at least... barring if Subaru was trying to get him killed in a trial.]
