catchall mineo

week 1, saturday

[alteracion]

[ where they are doesn't matter because grace fucking trips on mineo lying on the ground somewhere. her BALANCE

she does manage to catch herself on the wall after swearing though and just. sighs when she sees what she tripped over ]

... Mineo...

[ you baby. ]

[sengokus]

[he is such a baby - but he's probably somewhere in the common room, looking up at the ceiling as though it might hold some answer]

... sorry.

[but he barely even seems to be reacting]

[alteracion]

[ hmmm. she crouches down next to him, then remembers BALANCE when she nearly eats shit from that and just. sits down cross legged ]

It's fine, I would've tripped on air anyway. [ ... ] You're blaming yourself again, aren't you?

[sengokus]

[ . . . . . ]

I voted this time.

[so he thinks

he can try a new, exciting, different form of blame]

[alteracion]

[ ... hm. ]

For the robot? Or someone else?

[sengokus]

... Robot.

[and then after a longer, more tense moment]

... if it threatened Takeru one more time, I probably would've shot it a day early.

[it was

100% a spite vote]

[alteracion]

[ well, she doesn't think it'll make him feel better, but: ]

I voted for it too.

[sengokus]

[ . . . he nods.]

I guessed.

If at least - enough of us. Shellstrop-san. Harrow-san.

But... even if we made the best choice we could've at the time - [or at least they did, because mineo just went full rage mode and blacked out] - we're still wrong.

[alteracion]

I guess, but... It pretty much said it'd have killed people this week if it could've. Isn't this still a better outcome than last week?

[ rip to beau ]

[sengokus]

[ . . . . . .

he just

struggles with this statement and it's obvious.]

... Yeah.

Maybe.

[his morality crisis is so intense right now]

[alteracion]

Obviously it'd have been better to catch Kaz's killer. [ "grell's?" eh. but she shrugs ] But at least we didn't vote for an innocent person this time. Maybe if you hadn't voted, it'd have been Vlad up there.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he nods. he can buy her logic at least.]

He didn't even do anything this time.

[what the hell people]

... I just can't believe we made it nine hours and then - got nowhere.

[alteracion]

Not having the body at all... really messed us up.

[ she looks at her hands ]

He was kind of an idiot sometimes, but... there wasn't even anything left of him. Who'd do something like that?

[sengokus]

[ . . . he just

shakes his head]

I - I don't know. I'm not sure what could've happened. Or how he was killed in that room. I'm at a total loss.

[alteracion]

Me too. I can't think of anything. [ she sighs a little ] They keep saying we had everything we needed to solve it, but...

[sengokus]

[ . . . ]

I really thought it might've been the sci-fi gun -

But... we really didn't get any leads.

[alteracion]

It made as much sense as anything else we came up with. But... it wasn't any of that.

[ she sighs a bit ]

And now we might have three murderers on the loose.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he nods.]

Yeah.

It's really dangerous out here - especially since we haven't caught anybody. So it's not like people even have anything to fear.

[and he is so

antsy about it]

[alteracion]

So... maybe we need a better plan? If it happens again? Be more... organized, or something.

[sengokus]

[ . . . he sighs.]

Next time, I want to do victim rooms early.

[IMAGINE IF WE GOT THAT BODY UPDATE EARLIER]

Just to sort of - clear it. And then, later in the day, we can check for suspect's rooms in case there's something more incriminating they didn't bring with them.

I also need more help with checking guys for injuries.

[alteracion]

Okay, well, I can't help on that last one because the victim will be me if I have to see some of those guys naked, but we can work on that. Maybe get White? [ she crosses her legs and leans forward ] Places where we know the victim was at curfew in general might be a good idea, too? If only because that means either they were caught there or they left of their own volition.

[sengokus]

... yeah, I can probably get White-kun to help out. In general, more eyes are better. Just in case...

[but he nods.]

We can definitely keep that in mind - but it also means keeping better tabs on each other. Roommates and all. [a beat] ... I'm sorry Takeru and I left you alone here.

[alteracion]

Takeru was injured, it's not like you did it on purpose. [ and traumatized as a group she doesn't add but she shrugs ] Just don't make a habit of it.

[ haha she hates being alone ]

[sengokus]

I think he mostly plans on staying with you moving forward - so I can either stay with you both if that's what you want, or once he's healed better I'll be heading out.

[the war between wanting to look after his friends and wanting to get intel.....]

[alteracion]

So you can experience some of the effects, right? [ grace can guess as much since mineo's not exactly staying in his own room. ] It does help us narrow down where stuff might have happened, but I don't know that they're always relevant.
