Day 13: Investigation

[pandatreasure]

[Morning comes, and with it, a distinct sense of unease. The raccoons spared no feelings in their offers yesterday, and even tried to ensure a murderer could get away with it... Only if everything goes according to the raccoons' plans, though, and that hasn't really been the case so far, has it? Haven't you been doing so well these not-quite-two weeks?

In some cultures, thirteen is considered an unlucky number, you know.]

Might count as 'bullying', remember?

[purrtagonist]

[GROOOOOANS]

[. . .]

[shoves the PEPTO BISMAL COVERED RACCOON CORPSE one last time before. hobbling over to Ichigo]

This is stupid.

[suppressthedark]

[Give him a second, he's got to get back up since he stupidly sat down.

Ow ow ow ow sitting was a dumb decision]

Y-ngh-Yeah. Looks like we got lucky today, though.

[Since, you know. they didn't find any bodies.]

[purrtagonist]

[tilts his crutch in Ichigo's direction so he can use it as leverage to help himself up. YOU SILLY GOOSE, YOU]

As far as luck goes in this place, anyway.

. . . are you okay?

[suppressthedark]

[HE REFUSES TO USE IT because he doesn't want to knock Akira over.

He's a shonen, he's fine]

I'm fine.

...I'm not looking forward to any news, though.

[Since the raccoons didn't have a hissyfit over the loudspeakers, he means.]

[purrtagonist]

[aha. yeah, he noticed that, too]

It's going to come whether we like it or not.

Come on; let's get out of here.

[the wintergreen scent is making him sick]

[suppressthedark]

[He hates everything but SURE. FINE. He's already walking out the door.]

....Think the smell'll stick to us?

[WINTERGREEN IS AWFUL?]

[purrtagonist]

[limping after him. ugh, having to use a crutch sucks]

Not if I make us some coffee to get rid of it.

[suppressthedark]

[He's hanging onto the wall, so he's not doing the greatest either.]

You and your coffee...maybe Will's right about you.

[Joking, obviously. But he flashes a bright grin over his shoulder at Akira as he walks.]

[purrtagonist]

[they're both clearly winners, here. he snorts]

Don't even joke about that, Ichigo.

[suppressthedark]

First step to recovery is admitting you have a problem, right?

[That sly look is back....]

[purrtagonist]

True, but the second step is admitting that you want to fix the problem.

I'm pretty content to live out the rest of my life as a caffeine addict.
