(mingle) cat herding, round two

( 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. )

[ hundred friend plans... but he's good at communication, sometimes?? ]

With all due respect-- let's wait until everything's solved.

[ hand... rejected ]

[starrypoint]

[wow... you get this look.]

... Y'know, it's times like these that you need others more than ever, Yuki-chan. Like how Sasara and Natsume stuck up for me. I don't think you did it, 'cause that's what my gut's telling me, so let me have your back -- as your friend.

[ 'As a friend'...

Legitimately, he wishes he could go for that. Subaru seems like a nice enough guy, if not a bit airheaded and carefree. It sounded like Chidouin truly doesn't believe he could do it, considering the last time (there was a last time...?) he was in this position, he was despondent over it.

He'd gone as far as to bear his heart and invoke Kaguya Shinomiya in this investigation to clear his name, and Subaru took his word for it. It'd be downright selfish not to give him the same due respect. The same semblance of trust... ]

...I don't think you did it either.

[ Based on the information he has, it's not good enough. It isn't falling into place. Even for him, it's not like he's 100% cleared yet. ]

Sorry, Akehoshi. Even if you didn't, I still need to have my reservations about it. As much as I want to believe in you... and as much as I appreciate you believing in me, nothing can be ruled out at this point.

Even as a friend, I'd have to raise suspicion to ensure you're completely innocent.

[ It's bullshit, he knows it. But he can't let down his guard, not at this juncture. ]

[starrypoint]

No, I get it. You and Sasara are the same kinda person, so I know we'll get along after this.

[he'll finally retract his hand, playing with the edge of his sleeve idly.]

Then we can talk about your love life a little more. ♪
