[ hello yes here is gu yun! liuli glass less. he's still got a flower petal stuck in his hair. it is a morning.
he's currently checking around some of the bottles in the bar by feeling around, looking for his fucking monocle and sitting on the floor, and once mineo comes close enough... ]
Mnn. [ not surprising. clever mineo! ] It was a lucky guess during the trial itself - I honestly just chose what I thought would be the most embarrassing answer, but I figured he wouldn't want to admit to it, in case he got blamed for doing it, so it was worth a shot. He hasn't used it, yet, though.
To him, it's not a useful enough power to lie about, one. Two, he offered to use it on me immediately, if I didn't believe him, and he wasn't bluffing. Three, there are a few things we've been in communication about since the beginning of our time here.
He's an unbelievably smug, irritating person [ says gu yun, who is the same person, which is why he understands these things. ] but I trust him with a few manners. This is one of them.
It's not a useful enough power to lie about, but it's enough that he won't say anything in trial? [he frowns a bit at that] I think next time you might as well take the offer to have it used on you, Gu-san.
[but that's also just a suggestion of how little mineo might actually trust childe]
Because he's on the short list of people I'd consider as people who might've killed Eleanor-san.
[ he'll probably do it because he'll think it's funny, honestly. he pauses in his searching, for a moment, at the second part, looking thoughtful, and moving over where he's sitting so he's closer to wherever mineo is. ]
It has to be someone who conceivably could've moved the dishrack - or maybe who could've had a power. But if any person can only have two powers max on their person, that probably suggests an accomplice since two were used on me alone. Well - and Lenore-san, but we don't know if that was the same power that could affect two people.
So it's the combination of someone who got that power since Friday - so either Childe-san or someone else, and had another power that they felt like letting fly. Couple it with the short list of people who haven't shared their power, and who I think would use it on me.
[aka people who would decide to pick on mineo specifically as a distraction]
[ he puts a hand on his chin, thinking... ] I think the one used on Lenore with you was just one power, similar to the Aphrodite's Arrow. The timing was too good otherwise; I don't think they would've gotten away with whispering about it, unless there was some sort of secret code going on we missed. We're bad at details, but not that bad.
I don't think it was Childe, but for different reasons - that to me, he doesn't seem the type to let someone freeze to death when he could be causing their death with his bare hands. I could be wrong, of course - it could just be he did that to cover. But, I do see what you're saying, and I don't think it's a bad theory.
[ just a gut feeling... ] Who else was on your list?
If you can confirm that his power can still be used on you, then I think that's enough to clear him. But as is - he's still on the short list.
The short version of the list is... well, Queen Medb, Childe-san, Mahito-san, and.... less likely but still possible would be Yi-kun. [mineo doesn't think that ming yi would do that to him - but he also can't completely cross him off] Of people whose powers weren't shared, and who I think would have the strength or willingness to kill someone here for some reason.
Hmm. I don't know about killing Eleanor, but you and Ming Yi are friends, aren't you? Would he have done it to mess with you? Megara didn't share hers either, and those two seem quite close...
[ just playing devil's advocate. gu yun scooches down and resumes looking for his liuli glass, closer to mineo's end, while he's thinking it over. ]
Otherwise, I think that's a sound list, though, I'm not sure Medb's always been rather coy about her powers, but I can likely clear her, if she didn't do anything - though, many people didn't share their powers, this go around. I can't say I blame them. I really wasn't planning on sharing mine, until you asked me to do so.
[ and then he ended up using it anyway :T it was worth it to clear grace, though. ]
I counted Meg-san out since she wouldn't have strength for the dish rack, and I don't think she'd be able to kill someone for her wish when she - uh, figured out indulging in other ways. But... yeah. Yi-kun's my friend. I don't think he'd do that to me.... but I have to make sure first.
[mineo's trust is such a fragile, rather scared thing.]
Mm - you're going on a date with her, right? So might as well see. But... even of the people who didn't share their powers this time, some of the list is like... Grace. Yuel. Vira-san. They wouldn't do that to me, or they were focused on the investigation anyway.
I'd actually add Leclerc-san to the list - but maybe someone else can clear him. Do you know his power, Gu-san?
I can clear Yuri. He told two people his power, it came up independently, and I confirmed it with the other person that we were told the same thing.
I'll say this about some of the powers circulating - this week, it would be wise not to trust any hand or footprint evidence, if we get any. Illusions abound.
[ for the rest of that... he tilts his head. ] You may as well ask him. I'm sure he'll tell you, particularly if it was a prank. And I'll see what I can learn about Medb. I'm not in the business of betraying people's trust, though.
It's more like I just want to know who has this last power - because that'll get us closer to Eleanor-san. Otherwise if people don't trust me with their details, I'll respect it.
[mineo knows that he's in a unique position where not many curses could stop a gun? so people can do what they can to protect themselves even if he's a bit more reckless and always will be]
Got it. Then it's still the same list. We'll see about everything else... It's just annoying that we keep not catching people the week that we have to.
Do you know what "A Brave New World" does? It's the only one I don't have any idea of. I don't particularly care who has what power, short of helping to find Eleanor's killer, but I do want to know what's out there, just in case.
Especially currently. [ his LIULI GLASS!!! IS MISSING!!!! and that's bad, and he knows that's bad. so. ]
But, I agree. Greed said we were meant to see what Misa had - makes it all the more frustrating we couldn't overcome it and find our actual killer.
Ah... I'll tell you if it's relevant - but right now, it's not. It can't be related to Eleanor-san's case, or your glass. It's more helpful than anything and especially knowing who has it, I'm not too worried.
[between gojou and white, mineo thinks that he can trust them very much. his friends....]
But... that's true. I think that we're at least getting closer with a list of suspects - if you hear that someone has the lie detecting power again, can you let me know?
[ he lifts a hand, cupping one behind his ear in the gesture! yes, very open. ]
Fair enough. I suppose I could just ask White myself. [ bully him a little. like, nicely. maybe. probably? yeah. ] As far as I'm aware, right now, the biggest thing will be being very careful about our evidence this week. Hopefully, if we don't allow ourselves to get caught up in too many falsities, we'll be alright.
Yeah. We'll have to be careful about the evidence but... we may not even need to completely disregard it. We'll just have to generate multiple theories and then follow what makes the most sense.
[but he figures that's most of the information he needed. he rolls up his sleeves]
So you really don't know who might've taken your glass, Gu-san? Sure it's not Molly trying to get revenge on you?
And eliminate whatever impossibilities we can. [ because under that, even if it's improbable, will hopefully be the truth.
there's a beat, like he's thinking, and then he laughs. ] If he did, he would've done it preemptively. My strike's a bit out of nowhere.
[ what is this immature pigtail pulling... ] But, I can think of a few culprits that might have done it just to be rude, particularly if I did leave it out last night after too many drinks. I suppose, maybe, there could be some sort of... well, no. That wouldn't be right. I think I'd know if I'd been cursed.
I'll go with you, Gu-san - it'd be a pretty weird curse but maybe someone just, I dunno, made it so that you can't see your own glass? That'd be pretty annoying.
[ this is very affectionate teasing. ] The first time was partially my fault. But I had no responsibility in this one, not even a crow-mouthed prediction!
