[ good thing he can barely see her unimpressed face. after a moment of recalling... ]
Mahito had some sort of item on him in the spa. A little bottle of some sort. I felt it fall out of his pocket, but that's it. It was maybe made of metal, like a can, and not large. I imagine most of the damage is just the disaster of us fighting.
Beyond that, if they ask to go to the sleep bay, there is something in my room - my clothes. I changed into the torn robes I wore at execution on Sunday when I went downstairs, before I ran into him. There are certainly some tears in the fabric, but I folded it up in a way that would make it difficult to find and cleaned them the best that I could. It still shouldn't be too obvious, but just in case. I also have an item from Wrath that does absolutely nothing special, but I can lie about it, if I need to.
Mahito was with me the entire time. I was barely downstairs for fifteen minutes before we ran into each other.
[ ...after a long moment, to harrow. ]
... And I'm willing to do that - in fact, I'd like to. It is just absolutely imperative that I am not chosen. I know Mineo has the ability to manipulate votes, but I'm not sure who the third person is. I'll rely on you two to give me a signal when the time is right.
I won't allow you to be chosen. I don't think Extra Serving will be any help to force a No Vote, but if it seems that anyone - Endorsi, perhaps - is too angry, then we won't risk a No Vote.
I can speak to Endorsi. Try to sus out her feelings on the situation tonight, if you think it's a good idea. The other thing I would suggest is bringing Shi Qingxuan at least in enough to tell her to focus on Aoi and Lenore. She and Ming Yi owe us that much.
Ah - Harrow. If one of you goes along to the spa, I believe the body shows up in the condition it was in the time of death, yes? So I think his clothes are in the spa, based on the motions I was able to sense. It might behoove you to plant my liuli glass among them.
[ but. he nods, lifting his head to give molly a bit of a smile, reaching out to pat him gently on the chest. ]
The glass does point rather directly to you. I get your point, trying to make him responsible for the "theft" but- ... we can sit with it, consider how close they're getting to you by the time we check the spa. I can put it in the lining of my coat. People don't check it.
[ clever, clever. ] The trial's not until noon, right? We've got a bit of time in It's likely the pods won't heal all of my injuries, based on what Despair said, and if I had to guess, it will be what's the most obvious.
[ there's a pause.
he reaches over and covers harrow's ears. ] Molly, tomorrow morning, let's assess how fresh they look and make a few more.
[ and then uncovers them. ] And either way, I would advise against trying to plant anything on his body. I have a feeling he won't be. Ah. Clothed. So.
[ thinking... ] He died in the room with the pool. I slit his throat and shoved him in and then shut the door so the water wouldn't splash me.
We're covering up a murder. Your sex plans are unimportant to me, thank you. And not knowing what it is only makes it worse. [Sigh.] Where was this consideration for my ears at curfew, I ask.
[Anyway.]
No one checks me at all. I have brought some of the bleach and one of the knives I stole the first week here to every single trial, in case I needed to disarm someone. There are just so many places where I keep bones. Let me hold onto the glass.
. . . Just. Give me a sign if you want me to reveal the glass. I don't want to make the decision for you.
The healing will leave light marks - I remember Law's hands and arms. Faint scratches, light in color. [He tilts his head a bit and laughs at the plan though--] And I'm happy to do that, but also I could simply give you some now so the healing would match the others? Up to you. [...] We, uh, don't have to be currently fucking for me to do those, despite that being much more fun. Could just do both?
[ he sticks out his tongue!!! ] I'm trying to be considerate now in repentance for my misdeeds, yesterday.
But that sounds fine. I'll trust you - and I'll let you know if that's the case. [ more seriously, for harrow, and then, to molly, after, he winks. ] Let's try it, then - both sounds good.
[ some of gu yun's usual, easy cheer that was returning throughout the end of this conversation starts to fade a bit, though, into something more serious. it sticks when he tries to say it, having to swallow his pride. ]
...I'll still have difficulty defending myself, tomorrow, if too many people get the idea to ask questions at once. I can't hear nearly well enough when voices overlap, especially that many, and especially when they aren't aware of the limitations.
[Gross. She wants to die. But she coughs a little. She's. She's trying to help.]
Fresh marks at trial will be very conspicuous. The better solution is to just give Mollymauk some that match, which he can heal a little so they seem a few days old.
[ANYWAY.]
Leave your phone in your pocket; if anyone asks you anything directly and you don't pay attention, I'll text you. If there are a lot of questions at once, I'll do what I do best and be bossy and take over.
He doesn't have the claws for it. [But he can try?] But that's what I'm saying. Marks of a more suggestive nature that I give now, so he gets into the pod sometime today and the level of healing will match the crime ones. I could just say I got a bit messy.
And I'm very good at running my mouth. I'll do my best to lead some distractions if necessary.
[ he does not laugh or smile over harrow's helpful remark, instead coughing gently into his hand and nodding, just briefly flicking his gaze over to molly and keeping any other reaction off of his face. yes. understood. he will save her having to say anything else about it. ] Alright. I don't have any boons - well, that's a lie. I didn't end up having to use my pin, at all, but I'll be keeping that in my pocket, just in case something happens again.
[ he thinks, for a moment, trying to make sure he's covered all the details, and, after not coming up with much else more, ends up settling with the nice feeling of having trustworthy allies. it's.
... it's really nice, actually. aah. having an Emotion. anyway!! ]
I'll be counting on you both. Let's pull this off, yes? One way or another.
That was the second message I sent today. [ after the one to these two, of course. ] As long as I'm not caught, then yes. I just don't know if it would be Sunday or Monday, yet.
[ so there's that, at least. sometimes you gotta kill a guy to get your medicine! ]
Well, good. Good riddance to Mahito, then. Whether or not you're being entirely honest with us about the progression of events, so long as you survive the trial you've likely done us all a good turn by dispatching him.
eventually: ] Agreed. Based on the conversation we had, I'm certainly not in mourning.
... I don't even know if he could see me any better like that. [ does blindness wear off if you're suddenly a different creature?? how does he know. ] A panther. How bizarre. This is the second time I've had to kill a big cat, now!
[ oh, remembering. ] -- Actually, Endorsi was the one who saw a memory of me doing so at home, with a tiger. It was from an extremely long distance with an arrow, but, just in case it comes up.
[ im the new hilda, killing big cats left and right ]
Yes, well. If I'd used Seth in a fight, I thought large cat the most obvious offensive use; it makes sense. Though I had ultimately settled on the phloeodes diabolicus beetle.
I know. [ he really likes endorsi 8( so hopefully she doesnt want him dead now!
anyway he makes such a face as harrow starts getting into nerdery - ] A beetle? I'd like to be something beautiful and dangerous, and capable of escaping. [ sniff. ] A phoenix, perhaps, or a falcon.
[ this conversation is too furry im rerouting it ] Speaking of, though, I wouldn't be surprised if there are likely pawprints out and about. I do think when Mahito is recovered - which, judging by the investigations this morning, should be fairly quickly - he may likely appear to us on the table as a panther, but it's something to consider, especially with Aoi also having that power and publicly admitting so.
[ he wrinkles his nose, a bit. ] I hope she became something rather large and intimidating and gave her killer a hell of a time. [ ..... but his tone pretty clearly conveys that he really doubts it. who would target aoi. ]
It has the most durable exoskeleton of any creature I could research in the library. I'm used to defending with exoskeleton, so strategically, it's the best choice for me. Likewise, I know mammalian anatomy well enough to feel confident in my ability to utilize a predator's body, whereas a reptile I would need to spend a lot more time in study before I was confident.
[No, please change this topic, about how the coolest power was given to someone who would use it to turn into a beetle.]
I hope so, too, but I rather doubt it. I was told we should check the eyes - Sasazuka and Shi Qingxuan made her a pepper spray for defense.
[sulkily:] My powers have fucking sucked for four weeks now, love arrows that cause nothing but distress and two fucking votes! And this one gets a cool one and wants to use it to turn into a beetle.
he also makes sort of a face. ] What's the word Wrath used, dork...?
[ anyway ]
Mmm. Meimei told me the same, with the spray. [ with a soft snort. the fact that there's gonna have to be an eye check when he's fckin blind. ] The blindness power I used on him wouldn't have left a single trace on him, according to Pride, so that should be alright. Considering he's used it on me before, I know that to be true.
[ STOP LEAVING CONVERSATIONS BY BLINDING PEOPLE!!!! ]
I don't know anything about Lenore's kill, either. Of the three locations people noted - the blood pool was where Mahito's body was, so, to get the body of the other two, I would think we'd need to check the opium den and the house.
[ a pause. ] Also, our morning escapade with the fish was my fault. We fell into the koi pond at one point. The static shock, however, was certainly related to the other two.
