Tfw neither you nor like half of everyone you have plans with top-level, so this happens. I'm using this to write starters for people based on stuff we discussed beforehand. No open prompts, but if you want something specific with me or Saihara during May, I'm still up for that and you're free to throw a starter in here!

Alternately, hit me up via Plurk at garlemald or contact me on Discord at Rina#8760 whenever to discuss.

Make them pay.

[ For the piano strings ...presumably. Either way, she'll deal with them, turning her attention back to the door frame, fully trusting Shuichi to follow through with asking Norton and reporting back to her. ]

What are your thoughts so far?

[ Pay...

He pauses visibly at the word because... she means with money, right? What if they don't have any? Thinking about what Maya's like, maybe she'll have them run errands around the school... Okay. He'll trust her -- he did kind of almost-promise that with Natsume, after all. ]

I think... getting evidence might be difficult.

[ But he didn't say getting the culprit right would be too. ]

[adsum]

But not impossible. The next step is interrogation, which I will leave to you, mister detective's apprentice.

[ interview, interrogation, same thing

Either way, she is unofficially hiring him to shake down his fellow club members, which may or may not be a step up from snitching and giving her a list of names to do it herself. ]

[ Interrogation...

She certainly uses... some heavy terms. Given the scope of the crime, they feel almost out of place and he can't help but think that; but he gets off the bench while he does, placing a hand on the wall beside the door to steady himself and make certain he doesn't fall. They've seen just about everything they could up there for now. ]

So finding the culprit who cut the strings is important enough for that... Is it because it's school property?

[ Or is it because it's this piano...? ]

[adsum]

It's school property, it inconveniences the music club, and it pisses me off personally.

[ And for that last point, the culprit must die. ]
