Day 17 - WHODUNNIT?

[pandatrash]

[It's that time again! The Great Detective has been killed, so put those little grey cells to work and find the culprit!]

[Most of the flooding has been stopped as well, though it's uncomfortably damp just about everywhere. Looks like the raccoons only half-assed their cleanup.]

[Speaking of half-assed, where's Tycoon? I mean, broken ones, sure, but has anybody seen him up and about? Looks like you guys might be flying blind this time around...]

Kurusu and I were together last night. He wasn't in any shape to go exploring or make decisions, so I escorted him back to my room.

[purrtagonist]

[in the midst of filling in their names on the chalk board, his grip tightens on his piece of chalk, and for a second it really looks like he wants to chuck it at Akechi's head]

"Escorted" is putting it kindly.

[afailedmurder]

Oh? You seem fairly intact to me.

All the way down to your sense of ingratitude.

[purrtagonist]

[drops the chalk hard into the tray, tilting his head to flash Akechi a sharp, defiant smile]

Oh, sorry. Is this better?

[and then]






[. . . he flips him off]

[afailedmurder]

Well, that finger isn't broken.

So I'd say yes, you fared well last night.

I had to

[suppressthedark]

Oh my god, are you two just going to be like this from now on?

[Where the fuck did Ichigo come from]

i'm sorry

[purrtagonist]

[. . . he gives Ichigo a sideways glance that says, "yeah, probably"]

[afailedmurder]

I was ready to be civil about it, but you see how he's been acting.

[purrtagonist]

[sharply]

Yeah, sure. Better than some people did, right?

[that's pointed]

[afailedmurder]

Someone was inevitably going to die tonight. Would you have rather it been you?

[truthstranger]

[ um ]

[purrtagonist]

[your boyfriend is a dick Shuichi!!]

[truthstranger]

[ I mean. Yeah. Is this what happens when I don't keep an eye on everyone at every moment... ]

What happened... exactly?

[afailedmurder]

—Ah! Nothing happened! My only concern was keeping a fool from further injuring himself!

[only the most strictly platonic of abductions!!]

[purrtagonist]

Someone thought I needed a babysitter when I'm a fully capable and mobile person able to make his own choices.

[he sounds]

[a little bitter? most of it is petty, but there's a layer of something actually angry in his words, too]

[suppressthedark]

[Hey Shuichi

This sure is awkward isn't it]

[truthstranger]

[ Shuichi is less awkward and more... giving them both tired and disappointed looks. ]

[suppressthedark]

[Yeah no, he gets that.

Actually -]

....Like two gradeschoolers.

[That's loud enough that Shuichi can hear him, yep.]

[insurgeont]

[ Looming in the direction of this conversation. Akira. Akira you told him you'd behave. Akira. ]

[purrtagonist]

[SORRY ALIEN DAD. . . but he's not doing anything to exacerbate his injuries at least!1]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

Awfully proactive of you. What did you two get up to?

[afailedmurder]

A great deal of glaring at one another.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

Not that I'm one to judge, but you do realize there's ways to spend time with people between active antagonism and sloppy makeouts.

[afailedmurder]

And how did you spend your evening?

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

You're the detective. Shouldn't you know?
