Day 17 - WHODUNNIT?

[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...]

[your boyfriend is a dick Shuichi!!]

[personal profile] truthstranger 2018-01-20 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ I mean. Yeah. Is this what happens when I don't keep an eye on everyone at every moment... ]

What happened... exactly?
afailedmurder: (33)

[personal profile] afailedmurder 2018-01-20 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
—Ah! Nothing happened! My only concern was keeping a fool from further injuring himself!

[only the most strictly platonic of abductions!!]
truthstranger: (s22)

[personal profile] truthstranger 2018-01-20 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
So you brought him to your room by force...?

[he assumes. a non-platonic abduction might actually be a better outcome]
afailedmurder: (31)

[personal profile] afailedmurder 2018-01-20 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't hurt him...
truthstranger: (s20)

[personal profile] truthstranger 2018-01-20 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
But you took him there unwillingly.

[personal profile] afailedmurder 2018-01-20 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
If he'd been planning on spending the night with someone sane and trustworthy, that would be one thing. But he can barely even walk, let alone defend himself. What was I supposed to do? Just let him go off to his death?
truthstranger: (s22)

[personal profile] truthstranger 2018-01-20 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
...

I... understand your feelings. But I tried to find Furudo-san too, you know.
truthstranger: (s15)

[personal profile] truthstranger 2018-01-20 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
...Because I was worried about her. She may not be sane, and she says cruel things. But I don't think she'd kill someone.

And... she seemed very alone.
afailedmurder: (7)

[personal profile] afailedmurder 2018-01-20 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
...You're very kind, but it's the loneliest people who are the best at killing. I believed her to be completely capable of it.
truthstranger: (ca001)

[personal profile] truthstranger 2018-01-20 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Akechi...]

...It's not that I think she's incapable of it. It's that I don't think she would have done it. One of her Knox rules says the detective can't be the culprit, and that seems to be more important to her than anything else.

Plus... I don't think she'd want to let whoever's manipulating us get the better of her.

You could be right. I didn't know her well, and was rather... dismissive, I suppose. Disinterested.

It's already hard for me to trust normal people. There's no way I'd have been able to trust Erika Furudo. Least of all with someone who couldn't defend himself.
truthstranger: (s16)

[personal profile] truthstranger 2018-01-20 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
Mm... I can't really blame you.

To be honest... It's because there was someone like that in our game before... someone we all dismissed and assumed was willing to kill someone any moment. It's probably because I was wrong then that I was trying so hard this time.

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]

[ nnnnnnnnnnnn. Shuichi can picture exactly how this probably played out in his head and he is not happy about any of it. ]

He was worried about you. You know that.

[ Whether Akechi level of response was justified, though... that's a call Shuichi's not really sure he can make. ]

I also know you talked about this, though...
purrtagonist: (Naruto is just your animal companion)

[personal profile] purrtagonist 2018-01-20 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
More like we fought about it, actually.

[buuuut that is neither here nor there]

. . . especially since I was supposed to meet up with Erika.
truthstranger: (g08)

[personal profile] truthstranger 2018-01-20 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Ah.

[ That hindsight does put some weight on one side. But... ]

...I tried to find her too. I looked as long as I could, but the raccoons sent me back to my room.
purrtagonist: (Was that a stealth moo)

[personal profile] purrtagonist 2018-01-20 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ah. . .]

[his frown deepens, the lines of his face harsh and sharp]


Why. . .? If I couldn't meet up with her, the least they could've done is let you.
truthstranger: (s35)

[personal profile] truthstranger 2018-01-20 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Something happened. I mean... other than just... the obvious.

...Or, that's what I think, anyway.
purrtagonist: (Maybe it’s a land octopus)

[personal profile] purrtagonist 2018-01-20 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
[a pause]

Well. . . you're obviously not wrong about that.

[considering. dead Erika. another hesitation, before he asks]

. . . are you okay?
truthstranger: (s34)

[personal profile] truthstranger 2018-01-20 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ Why do people keep asking him that. He chokes back a short hysterical noise. ]

No?

...She—she translated a mystery novel for me, you know. Read it to me aloud and talked me through solving it. We both had fun, she wanted to do it again. "Assuming we're both still alive," she said. She wasn't...

[ he's not sure what he wants to say there. ]

...How am I supposed to stop any of this?
purrtagonist: (i’m not drunk i’m just charismatic)

[personal profile] purrtagonist 2018-01-20 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
[jesus christ, now that's a familiar feeling. for a moment, Akira's frozen in place, as Shuichi's choked noise yanks tightly at his heart]

[he opens his mouth to say something. shuts it again, looking a little pained]


. . . I don't know.

[gestures. vaguely. at his injured leg]

And I've tried.
truthstranger: (s15)

[personal profile] truthstranger 2018-01-20 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ He stares at Akira’s leg for a few moments too long, like he’s not quite seeing it, before he sighs. ]

I hate whoever’s doing this.

[ An understatement, and it comes out almost flat, but the feeling behind it is probably obvious. ]
purrtagonist: (How stealthy is a Molotov?)

[personal profile] purrtagonist 2018-01-20 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
I do, too.

[his voice is hard and cold, like ice]

. . . I want to tear them down, piece by piece.
