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...]

[rubbing his face]

Can you leave Mae alone?

[respendent]

I could! [ He isn't, tho ]

But I still wish to have an answer to what I asked earlier. What have you said to those three, that required a warning from the dead? If it's not that you killed someone, what have you been up to!

[theyregooddogs]

I haven't said anything to them. Dazai— [no, fuck that] Osamu is just partial to them, so he's trying to protect them from the great beyond. He's also been suspicious of me, and I don't begrudge him that.

[respendent]

[ Stomps on his foot ]

Speak no ill of the dead, Will! Especially as the dead appear to be able to watch proceedings. I do not buy that for an instant.

[theyregooddogs]

[sharp inhale but sliding his foot back with a roll of his eyes]

What ill am I speaking of anyone? Aside from saying Osamu liked someone when he would prefer to pretend that he had no feelings at all.

[respendent]

Names! Referring to your betters so familiarly is very rude! I do not believe a man whose blood is on your hands is someone you deserve to be able to call Osamu!

[theyregooddogs]

[stepping close, hand carefully going to the front of his shirt and holding fast]

If I hear you say that I dirtied my hands with Osamu again, you will make a killer out of me.

[ Hiyori doesn't attempt to fight it. Instead he says loudly: ]

Will Graham is responsible for the murder-suicide of Dazai Osamu and Aoba Tsumugi.

[maege]

Oooookay! Okay! Well, that was fun and exciting while it lasted but we're just going to be not doing that now.

[PHYSICALLY INSERTING HERSELF INTO THIS SITUATION IN AN ATTEMPT TO BREAK IT UP; WILL SHE HAS BEEN STANNING SO HARD FOR YOU PLEASE DON'T]

[theyregooddogs]

[stepping away, taking deep breaths and fidgeting with his hands]

[maege]

[cool great awesome yes fine fantastic good, good, perfect; following a couple steps behind so as not to crowd him, but,]

...Want me to get the dog?

[it works for her???]

[theyregooddogs]

Five minutes then Baxter.

[maege]

Understood.

[except she's going to spend like four and a half of those minutes lingering and making sure will doesn't try to kill a man again, uh]

[theyregooddogs]

[no, will is going to be fishing for those five minutes, completely absent in mind but present in body]

[maege]

[this is better than murder, prrrrobably??? anyway she comes back with one very good boy in her arms (the dog)]

Hey.

[holds the dog out. DOGS WILL FIX IT??]

[respendent]

[ Once Will has stepped away, readjusting his clothes but continuing to look dead straight at Will. ]

[liveronhersleeve]

[She-Is-Fiercer help her, Grim Eyes will go stuff you in a storage closet if you start needling him again, Hiyori.]

[respendent]

[ Literally he started it ]

[liveronhersleeve]

[Really because Grim Eyes is pretty sure that if you want to get on your high horse about talking people into crimes being a crime then spending the last several days provoking him at every turn up to and including what she's pretty sure was an elaborate frame job probably counts.

She's got her eye on both of you.]

[respendent]

[ Hiyori has literally publicly stated intent to murder Will Graham already. ]
