[Once she's spoken to everyone she wanted to check on after the vision occurred, she heads to this area. The books aren't enough to distract her, but this room is at least normally quiet.
When Takaomi enters and looks her way, she notices and returns his glance after a few moments.]
[Just like Friday afternoon, coming to the study doesn't really keep her mind off of things. She's even more listless than she was yesterday, flipping through the pages of a book before she sighs and slaps it closed.
[ it's a little bit after the dead were announced.
takaomi heads towards the ocean, mostly because fortune had told him that she liked to play in the water. when he spots zoe, though, he slows to a stop. ]
[When he comes across her, she's sitting on the ground, her knees pulled up towards her chest as she watches the waves. She glances his way as soon as she notices him, though, even if she doesn't stand up.]

What's up?
no subject
[ he considers just leaving for a second. ]
Zoe, right?
no subject
Yeah, Zoe. And you’re... Takaomi. Senri’s partner from school, right?
no subject
What are you reading?
no subject
[She glances down for a moment, memorizing the page she's on, before closing it.]
It's pretty interesting. You can read it, if you want.
no subject
What kind of guitar do you have?
no subject
[She continues on with the information I found on Google within the last two minutes.]
I usually use an Archtop, that's the one I brought when I came here. Do you play?
no subject
[ he frowns ]
Although I didn't get to bring mine with me.
no subject
[She tilts her head slightly.]
Maybe you could get it back if you did a task for someone.
no subject
[ hm, he's considering. ]
But a couple of years now.

no subject
[That's something she can relate to, but she wants to see what he'll say.]
no subject
pause, as he tries to figure out what to say or if he should abort the conversation. ]
... it just made me feel better.
no subject
Yeah, music is good for that. What kind do you usually play?
no subject
Hm... rock? I mostly listen to things like punk, but I can play whatever.
no subject
Nice choice. Well, if you ever do get your guitar back, we should totally play together.
no subject
[ not boring, because honestly it might be preferable if it was boring ]
Terrible?
no subject
Yeah. We could all use some of that, I think.
week 2, saturday
he's passing by the study when he sees a familiar face inside though. ]
no subject
It's at that point she notices she's not alone.]
...Big day, huh?
[Her voice is deadpan.]
no subject
[ in fact, it's worse!
fucking incredible. ]
no subject
[Ugh.]
This is such bullshit.
no subject
[ vote for cunning, presumably, which... still did not feel like a great answer. ]
no subject
[She runs a hand through her hair, clearly stressed.]
It'd be nice if people could stop being stupid for the rest of this competition.
no subject
[ if he has to hear "sasuke wants to kill justice" one more goddamn time ]
no subject
[Ugh.]
Maybe nobody will be a murderous idiot after this week.
[Even if she sounds like she's quickly losing faith in that.]
no subject
[ ... ]
Although apparently two of our killers did it on accident.
no subject
[A pause.]
And maybe people will learn to be more careful, too.
no subject
[ he doesn't really sound like he believes it though ]
no subject
I'm trying to be optimistic here.
no subject
[ he also says this hesitantly, like he expects something else to happen to ruin trials ]
no subject
Careful. You might jinx it.

no subject
...Hey there.
no subject
[ it's not a question, since the answer is fairly obvious. ]
no subject
[So he's not wrong.]
no subject
[ says i, who plays the character who ends up killing someone on accident, ]
no subject
[Ugh.]
Too bad there isn't a way to stop people from being really, really stupid.
