[ haha ]

I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?

[shiftingwinds]

All of that, it was... It was difficult.

[and, well, she hadn't missed that "one of those situations where it would be nice if we wouldn't vote"]

[liuli]

Mn.

What was the most frustrating, perhaps, is that we completely and utterly failed at catching Eleanor's killer. I highly doubt it was Misa.

[shiftingwinds]

I don't think it was her, either.

[liuli]

She... I don't know what her reasoning for going after Grace was. I'm sure she had justified it, somehow, in her mind. But, she wouldn't have gone after Eleanor without that same justification, whether it was ridiculous or true.

[ he sighs, swirling his wine. ]

That leaves us with no leads.

[shiftingwinds]

...none at all. It's frustrating, right?

[...]

We must have overlooked something.

[liuli]

Don't we always? [ a huff. ] I just haven't a clue what.

I will say this - it seemed odd, in so many manners. Maybe it was our clown shoe-wearing fiend from a few weeks ago.

[ he's. joking.

maybe. ]

[shiftingwinds]

...do you really think so...?

[she looks doubtful, but...]

[liuli]

...No, no. I was joking. How ironic it would be if that was the case, hmm?

[ maybe his crow mouth would've come in handy... ]

[shiftingwinds]

...it would be.

[she... thinks about it.]

But I don't think it was them.

[liuli]

Oh? What are your theories, meimei?

[shiftingwinds]

It's less a theory and more a gut feeling... they just felt different to me.

[liuli]

Trusting a gut feeling's not so bad. I do so often. [ a beat, and he nudges her shoulder, teasing. ] Just don't tell me you did one of them, and that's why you're saying it.

[shiftingwinds]

[what kind of joke is that. her expression looks pained.]

I won't tell you that, Gu-xiong.

[liuli]

[ a horrible gu yun crow mouth joke ]

I know you won't. [ he takes a long drink. ] I didn't do any of them either, so.

[shiftingwinds]

[she also takes a long drink ... of water. god, she regrets promising not to drink the night before an execution.]

...that leaves us with only so many people who could have, but - I have to admit that most of the people I'd suspect of such things are already dead.

[liuli]

Mhm. Admittedly, I thought Misa might act, at some point, so. [ we're running out of serial killers here. ]

I suppose there's still one or two more, but, maybe we'll have no bodies next week.

[shiftingwinds]

I sincerely hope that we have none at all.

[she is! so tired! of these deaths and murder trials!! aaaaa.]

[liuli]

You and I both.

[ ugh. ]

...By the by, what power did you end up getting this week? If you don't mind sharing.

[shiftingwinds]

The same one as Takeru - "Doctors Hate Her".

[...]

I didn't want to say what it does at the trial in case someone was going to try and lie about it - then I'd be able to disprove them. But, it lets me change one of my features to be one of someone else's of my choosing for twenty-four hours.

[liuli]

[ . . . ]

Interesting.

[shiftingwinds]

...it sounds a little like someone else's, doesn't it? Just applied in a different way, and for a different amount of time.

[liuli]

Think we likely got our information on that other power from the same source.

That is very odd.

[shiftingwinds]

I believe we did, yes. They did say they were only telling a very small number of people, and that I shouldn't discuss it with anyone they haven't told.

[so, the fact that she discussed it with gu yun at all means they can probably just name names. she already knew that he knew about it.]

But I agree - the other powers we've heard about haven't seemed so similar to each other, before.

[liuli]

Yuri, right? I'm glad he told you - I didn't believe him, so, it's good to have confirmation.

[ wehehe. he loves his fellow purple bastard but they're both liars and louses and he is more than aware of this. ]

I think this is the first time, yes. I think it's likely the ability itself is matched to a sin, again, but I'm not sure about the distribution. My power was likely Despair. Yours and Yuri's... Yours, at least. I don't know, it sounds odd - on process of elimination, we could perhaps tie it to Envy, Wrath or maybe Lust, just by the way it sounds.

[

it's a meme but they're ye oldes ] Though, yours was my theory for what caused Mineo's marks. I can eliminate that, so. I think it's "what are those", now.
