[Sasuke isn't in a rush because he's accustomed to Death, so he just grabs Senri's arm to keep the boy up and keeps going without hesitation. His walk is determined and brisk.
But he lets Senri go when they're both hauled into the parlor with the rest--what the...]
anyway, he's looking over ishikirimaru now. what's the damage.]
... We've proven last week that we're not efficient enough to focus on several unrelated deaths. If we want to catch a killer this week—besides this guy—we might have to focus on a few.
[...]
Which is to say, we might have to reveal what happened so that people don't bother with Luna's death. At any rate, unless you've got any magical cures lying around, Ishikirimaru's injuries will be obvious. If he's to be outed, the sooner the better.
That was-- what I was thinking. This may only be a distraction. If we can find no one else, then... I knew what might happen when we went out.
[it's something he's already resigned himself to, basically.
but here's the blanket and shirt lore: when ray looks him over, he'll find that for one thing, he has a hard time moving thanks to a hip injury (it's swollen, possibly broken on the right side); his torso is littered with bruises, and in places the impact has broken the skin; and while his left arm has been splinted and bandaged, it's broken in multiple places.
he loves you dad but ray has that handled and as soon as Senri's stable he's beelining for Taka. one hand hovers over the one on Taka's side and the other is trying to push his hair aside so he can meet senri's gaze.]
Even if Luna-san was the former Ruin follower, I think there was an accomplice last week. That might be whoever killed Ruin this week.
I don't want anything to happen to Ishirin-san - I don't think people would vote for him if they knew he was trying to protect us.
[Here's fourth wheel Sasuke, not knowing what to do with himself. He lingers like a wraith in the middle of Takaomi and Senri, Ishi and Ray. A hot and sweltering righteousness start eating inside him.
This was supposed to be him instead of Ishi. This had been his plan, and if not for Senri being collateral damage, he would have found another way. It would have been better... being him. But anyway, well, they don't have time to unpack all of that!!
Both fists clench until his knuckles are white.]
We'll look too suspicious trying to all detour conversation away from Luna. It's better if he admits it from the beginning. We can focus on the others and what happened to Ruin.
I'll ask Cunning at the start to confirm that Luna killed Fortune. If he won't, I can verify that I suspected Luna beforehand and told Ishikirimaru my suspicions—and if you're willing, I can tell some of my other connections before the trial that Luna was killed trying to murder Ruin, in part so that we don't waste time with everyone being shocked and in part because it'll help build your case if more people seemed to have been in the know.
... Though you have the benefit of having already tried to be a martyr before, so I doubt too many people doubt your character.
[let's just say that ray is doing medic stuff right now, i don't know shit.]
--but I still think admitting it is the best course of action. If nothing else, I can get the person with Divine Prayer to call him so he may speak, if it's what he wants-- that way he may at least have his own say as well.
[quietly, to taka so as to not pull from the main conversation:]
- and you? You're okay?
[senri can't see any obvious injuries but also he doesn't trust any emo bitch in the room except ray.
but he'll purse his lips and nod.]
... I think it is too. I can do like Ray-kun, and tell people that I don't think that we should vote for Merriment, or outright say that Ishirin-san was trying to protect us if you're okay with it. I don't want to lose any chance to catch the person if we spend too long talking about Ishirin-san. Especially since something happened to Aimi and Bart-kun too....
I think Madopyon would listen. Zo. Sieg-kun... [though his nose wrinkles] Ugh, we just can't count on that Majima for anything anymore though.
I'll tell Yu. And if he supports it, a few of his friends will probably follow.
[could you stop being gay for one second]
If we don't and my god is on the list... we can trying using the same loophole Ishikirimaru did, unless it's been confirmed it only works once. I was already planning to switch gods, anyway.
... I have another potential way out, actually. But-
[he pauses, there, both in contemplation and because he needs to take a breath, having medic shit done is probably painful with how fucked up his arm is. ray may or may not need to re-set it, this was kind of taka's first time.]
I will have to consult with Mizuki-san to be able to use it, as it is something we both own.
-if I intend to confess, and if we intend to spread this information, they will find out regardless. My current intention is to withhold my alignment unless it is decided that my god must be voted for, but they are one of two people outside of this room who are aware and could tell everyone.
[ . . . senri doesn't actually verbally say anything about taka being fine. but he'll just carefully loop his arm with taka's so that he can lean a little bit against him - his other hand reaches out to brush his fingers against the back of sasuke's clenched fists. fine. this is fine.
(why does senri still have two hands.)]
What more reason do I need than his stupid reckless, trip...
[that's about majima.
anyway,]
... I've already told everyone in this room that Mizuki-san's with Beauty. [this shitty gossip] I had to mention it for my own safety, but you could see if they'd be able to use Above Suspicion this week if it really comes to that too. Beauty said that I can't use it as a favor.
[The clenched fist slowly unfurls, almost like he hadn’t realized it was tight. His eye flickers to Ray and Ishi, narrowing softly.]
If they tell, they would be outing themselves to a lot of people. It’d be suicide for the next week. [He isn’t saying he would kill anyone, but... he’d probably kill someone...] I can help you ask Yu. If you want. I think he would agree regardless.
[He looks between all of them then at Ray again.]
Do you need help? If it’s still bleeding, it needs to be cauterized.
... Yu probably will. He's the annoyingly heroic type.
[ he glances towards the door, like he's worried someone might walk through it. ]
We just really need to make sure we figure out a second culprit. It won't matter if Ishikirimaru did it in self-defense if we don't. No one wanted to vote for Rachel since it was an accident, but we ended up forced to anyway.
[if in fact ishi's wounds need to be cauterized, he'll look up at sasuke.]
Can you get me a bowl or cup?
[this might seem like an odd request, but. anyway—
I have my glass [did he tell anyone here about that, jan can't remember] and at least a few people with Art of Deduction. I swear, we had better not screw up tomorrow...
I'll speak with Mizuki-san and see what they might be able to do.
[he exhales a slow sigh, there.]
...we will have to see how things go, tomorrow. It is likely to be something of a mess, considering the rules, but- at the very least, we can eliminate some confusion. Maybe then it will be easier on all of us.
[he's not questioning what ray is doing, carry on small doc.]
I can use Art of Deduction tomorrow and... I'll ask some other people that I think have it. I don't know if we can pick which murder to use it on, but if we can... should we focus on Aimi, Bart-kun, or Ruin?
--goes to get a bowl or a cup? Whichever is better, let's just say bowl? It's fine. He'll bring it back to Ray afterward, crouching down beside him and Ishi while listening.]
It's kind of hard to choose before we know anything about the circumstances of their murders. It could be that some are more obvious than others, like...
[ he glances at ishi. ]
But I guess the problem then would be agreeing on someone during the trial and making sure everyone is aware of it.
It might be better to discuss that with a group as a whole, for the reasons Takaomi stated. Besides, it might make us look suspicious if we try too hard to control the entire flow of the trial.
[he pours a bit of liquid into the bowl, after which it. seems to change type? wow, i wonder what ray's ability is. anyway, he takes out his needle and adds the liquid to it, before he injects it into ishikirimaru's axilla. it's a regional anesthetic for his arm, he isn't suddenly knocking him out, don't worry.
it probably won't kick in immediately, but whatever. he pours more into the bowl; it then becomes scalding water, into which ray places a scalpel, waiting for it to heat up.]
[senri, internally: i don't know what ishiri-san's deal is and at this point i'm too afraid of ask
so he lets it go]
... well, there's enough Cunnings to presume that at least one of us have Art of Deduction. I'll save mine, and we can see what the rest turn out to be. It's still worth asking at all if we can pick....
It can be like when we say "Oh, wow, where's that Piety follower that can pick one of the gods for us, what ever can we dooooooo."
[he needs to shut up now]
