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.]

[Probably a no. Akechi hangs out and idly wonders if he will love anything as much as Will Graham loves every dog.]

1/2

[theyregooddogs]

Hey, buddy. Yeah, oh, yeah, I know. You had a good time?

[time for the biggest skritches ever, bouncing Baxter a bit]

[theyregooddogs]

[and acknowledge akechi, i guess]

Thanks.

[afailedmurder]

Of course. He's no trouble.

[theyregooddogs]

He's barely housebroken. But I appreciate the gesture.

[afailedmurder]

He's good company. Though we ended up having a guest last night anyway!

[theyregooddogs]

[raising an eyebrow, petting Baxter more . . . ]

Who?

[afailedmurder]

I bumped into Saihara-kun while heading back to my room.

[theyregooddogs]

[small hum]

Not a bad person to run into. He was looking for you?

[afailedmurder]

No, I found him near the infirmary while I was walking Baxter. He seemed like he could use an alibi.

[every part of that is technically true!]

[theyregooddogs]

Yeah, they probably saw a lot of traffic last night . . . Hope he didn't bother Shuichi too much.

[going to put wiggly puppers down :(]

[afailedmurder]

No more than I did, at any rate.

[theyregooddogs]

[going to full stop roll his eyes and give a put-upon sigh before responding. you had to go there, you little shit]

Really interesting timing there, Akechi.

[afailedmurder]

[ok fine, god, I guess we can just let murder ruin EVERYTHING then!!!]

...It's not as if we could have known that Harukawa would be one of the victims.

[theyregooddogs]

[not the timing he was referring to but, sure, whatever ruins your getting laid glory]

No. You couldn't. Keep reminding Shuichi of that.

[afailedmurder]

Mm. I will.

...I wonder what happened there. She seemed like someone who could take care of herself.

[theyregooddogs]

Someone wanted to kill. She was around. They were facilitated. Who she was and what she could do didn't have any bearing on her death.

[afailedmurder]

I suppose you're right.

[sighs. that's really boring.]

[theyregooddogs]

[it really is]

There's no rhyme or reason, just a roll of the dice.
