Day 6 - Final discussion before the second execution

[pandatrash]

[This morning, a video of Tycoon auto-plays on everyone's tablets. He is in a dimly lit room, and seems to be eating pudding out of a bicycle horn...? Whatever, the raccoons are weird.]

Today’s the day! Are you pumped up? Psyched out? Pissed off? Done in? Hehehehe!

Everybody better vote today for who you want to be PUNISHED! If you don't vote by the time the timer reaches zero, your vote will be randomized! Just like it now says in the rules!

I, Tycoon (only Tycoon), will still answer one question per person if you haven’t cashed yours in yet! Rule clarifications are free, by the way! Also, quit freaking out about the people who are off crying in their rooms or whatever! You already have all the alibis you need to solve the mystery!

...Is it that obvious?

[is

is he joking]

[purrtagonist]

[opens mouth]

[closes it again]

[pulls up a tired smile, lopsided but still laced with amusement]

It's always the ones who seem the most serious who are the softest on the inside.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[looks like he ate a bug]

...Don't be ridiculous. A cat would ruin the contents of your bag.

[purrtagonist]

Worth it.

[HEH]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

For the cat, maybe. I feel like "my cat shredded my handouts" wouldn't go very well during meetings.

[purrtagonist]

Better than, "my dog ate my homework," isn't it?

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

More believable, but not any more helpful. Bringing small animals to work really only gets you off the hook once.

[purrtagonist]

Not if it's extremely cute. People can't bring themselves to be angry at small, cute animals.

That's why viral cat videos exist.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

Were it that easy, people would use cats to get out of all sorts of things, like homework or traffic tickets... There'd never be a reason not to be carrying an animal around.

[purrtagonist]

Maybe people just haven't discovered their true power yet.

[don't go down this rabbit hole Akira]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

Planning a lecture series? it could potentially be profitable.

[purrtagonist]

Is it just me, or are you always on the lookout for more business opportunities?

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

Of course, you should try it. It's never hurt anyone to have alternate strategies.

[except in duel monsters where it's all blue-eyes all the time]

[purrtagonist]

[ultimate dragon fanboy]

I don't really think I'm cut out for the life of a businessman.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

I don't know, you seem the type who rises to challenges. But even if not for business, you can still have a plan B.

[purrtagonist]

[heh]

I usually do, where applicable.

[not always, though.]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

Generally a good plan...where applicable. Or available, for that matter.

[purrtagonist]

[lifts his mug of coffee to his lips and grins]

I'm glad you understand.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

I try.

[...light]

...Are they applicable now?

[purrtagonist]

[ah. . .]

[his gaze grows distant, flickering away, before coming to rest on his tablet. tapioca honk]

. . . working on it.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

...Ah.

[looks like he wants to say something, but keeps quiet]

[purrtagonist]

[he picks up on that, and inclines his head towards Seto in a silent question. what is it?]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[shakes his head]

I don't think there's anything I can say you don't already know.

[purrtagonist]

[a crooked smile]

That's likely.

[he appreciates that Kaiba doesn't underestimate how aware he is, actually]

Although you never know until you try.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

I don't, but I have an idea, and both of us have better ways to spend our limited time.

[he raises his cup of life-giving caffeine]
