(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. )

Right! What's next?

[he's never been accused of anything...

...

not completely true, but that doesn't matter here]

We calm everyone down, and get them on the same page. Right now, the idea you might betray us is making everyone panic...but we can fix it. We need to focus on what really matters.

[ Motive motive motive motive motive! ]

And...don't you think its odd...nobody is questioning Hinata-san...? That evidence is something we need to scrutinize him about.

[ He's been acting weird lately, anyone could tell. ]

But Hina-chan would never kill someone. He'd cry.

[everyone knows he's a crybaby.]

I'm not talking about accusing him, geez! But he found this evidence, so we should um...whats the legal term? Cross examine him about it!

[ Someone whose played a lawyer game I can't legally mention come help her out here. ]

[ Hmmm. ]

Is it really him, though? That we should be questioning, I mean.

Bonnie-chan?

[ Oh, sorry, she didn't see you there. Ignore the fact she's been crying!! ]

What do you mean...?

[ Is she missing something? ]

Well... some people just seem too dumb to pull off a murder like this without leaving a bunch of clues. That's what makes someone a really good sucker. No offense, Mr. Subaru!

[ yup, that's you, dumbass with too many friends. ]

Still, with everything we've come up with, and how much evidence we've gotten...

It's so weird that for all of our fingerprints, it's only just now paying off.

[ Darn...she's right, Subaru has no brain so he'd probably leave a bunch of clues everywhere unless Natsume cleaned up after him. Sigh! ]

Oh...you mean Sou's new trick...?

[ She thinks about it for a second, then shakes her head. ]

Sou doesn't kill people. [ Not without having eleborate, personality warping meltdowns about it. If he'd really killed Hiro and Maya he'd probably be way more energetic right now. Burning every bridge...looks at him and Helena...well burning more bridges then usual! ] But it is weird...do you think someone planted that evidence because we've been taking so long?

If they wanted us to figure it out, of course! Just enough to make us think something's wrong, but not enough to give the right answer.

[ Just stands to reason, of course. ]

Most people don't kill people. It doesn't mean they wouldn't if it came down to it.

Oh, but would it be him? Only a dummy would put themselves out in the spotlight like that so often if they killed someone.

[god there is so much and i can only play one character at a time.

you get it, chase. anyway--]

... If someone wanted to control the flow of conversation, they'd take any chance they could -- even if it meant putting themselves in the spotlight. I don't think we should rule out anyone.

No um...I'm really serious here. He tried to kill me like...four times?

[ Counting out on her fingers. So there was the first main game, abandoning her to Russian roulette, the sacrifice card, and the second trial...does trying to get her to fight with Keiji count? She's not going to count that. ]

He gets pretty shouty and starts lying a lot when he's trying to pull of a big plan. Even his eyes get weird...just accept it when I say this absolutely isn't how he'd act if he was trying to hide something!

[ She's an expert! ]

But your other point, Bonnie-chan! So this note wasn't to mislead us, but to guide us. A wrong note...at the right time...so we'd think about this again?

[ Who would do that...Looks at Komeada.. ]

Yes, Chidouin-san, how may I help you?

( why is she looking at him. )

Can you do something for me pretty please!!

[ Let her pull out her notebook real quick, come on over here. ]

Yes, what is it?

( he'll follow to look at her notebook? what is going on, are they about to play mash? )

Lets plaaay...writing a note!

[ She scribbles something for a second, before holding it out in front of her. Two names in Sara's normal neat handwriting.

1). SUBARU AKEHOSHI

2). KOUJI

She'll hand it out to Komeada then, like c'mon. catch!]

Which one goes first?

( he'll take the note to look it over, analyzing the names, and then he looks towards her as if trying to understand her request. )

Do you want my handwriting so you can use it for future crimes, if you want... I'll help you commit murder!

( sparkle, sparkle! )

...I'm sorta surprised you haven't killed him yet.

[ Wow. This Hiyori sure has guts, but it sounds like he sucks at murder. Not that this one isn't easy! ]

Why, of course! It got us looking at Mr. Subaru again, so maybe we'd have to look at who's around him that could pull this off.

...and, maybe cause trouble.

[ ok but she'd be disappointed if it were komaeda tho...... ]

Ha...ha...

[ Yeah...shocking huh. Great thing she hasn't tried. ]

Look around...we should do that! Focus on who could do this!

[see thank god you afford subaru the same belief or else it'd be "how you gonna stick up for the guy you're in divorce court with and not your ginger bro]

I'll trust you to know then, Sara, but I'm a little surprised to hear that about Hiyori-kun of all people at the same time.

[once... twice... four...?]

[ C'mon her believing in Subaru is waaaay more meaningful then knowing her divorcee is too lame to pull of a murder plot! Shin is a dweeb who falls apart the second his overly complicated plans don't work. ]

He's calmed down a lot.

( hiyori-kun did what? )

[like, fr fr? that introvert? maybe subaru did kill someone if yori-chan could four times.]

[ ITS FINE SHE ATTEMPTED MURDER BACK SO THEY'RE EVEN!!! STOP LISTENING TO OTHER PEOPLES CONVERSATIONS ]

( oh fair. talk to him and he won't have to!!! )

[ bonnie just watching the adults bicker and popcorning..... yeah...... ]

You're right as rain, Miss Kaede! After all, in this case we're not talking about strength, just who could've led poor Hiro astray.

If someone had the evidence to show Hiro, that'd set him up to be picked off pretty easy.
