Does your hand have a mind of its own....?

[ intelesting ]

[survivaltricks]

[this time, it takes a while for Akira to write down his response, mostly because it looks like he's fighting his hand. it trembles slightly as he squints at it, as he tries his best to FORCE IT INTO WRITING WHAT HE WANTS IT TO WRITE instead of the words it actually wants to write. but despite his efforts?]

Cannot predict now.

[. . . out comes another magic 8-ball shitpost]

[slobjection]

[ hm. ]

Try writing something on your own.

[survivaltricks]

[HM]

[an annoyed breath, but Akira jots down a message, this time with little resistance from his rebel of a hand]

Sorry about that. I'm not exactly sure. . . what happened?

[slobjection]

Has it been happening whenever someone asks you a question?

[ time to test his theory! ]

[survivaltricks]

Outlook not so good.

[ANOTHER HEAVY SIGH, but he resists writing these words a bit less than he did earlier]

[slobjection]

[ laughs! ]

So I'm guessing this is a new development.

[survivaltricks]

[a scoff]

Ditto.

[PHOENIX HAS CRACKED THE CODE]

But if you asked why, I couldn't tell you. It just happened.

[slobjection]

I'll try not to question you too much.

But I'm also guessing that this happened today. And that other odd things are happening to other people.

[survivaltricks]

[an appreciative thumbs up. THANKS PHOENIX-SAN. . .]

I wouldn't be surprised. It's almost similar to how everyone lost their senses throughout the week.

[slobjection]

Write down where you were for me last night.

[ this time phoenix offers his own notebook. ]

It's probably going to be a theme.

[survivaltricks]

[another nod, and Akira takes Phoenix's notebook to write down a response. it isn't phrased as a question so he can do that!!]

The billiards room, with Akechi. We were both locked in there accidentally at around eleven.

[slobjection]

[ he did that on purpose!! ]

Seems like he's suffering from the same affliction. I wonder if it's a coincidence.

[survivaltricks]

[SNORTS AND ROLLS HIS EYES]

Probably not. It's too convenient to be a coincidence.

[slobjection]

If you've noticed any other convenient coincidences, write them down for me.

[ gosh so demanding! but he's phrasing it this way so it's not a question. ]

[survivaltricks]

[a beat]

[gives Phoenix a long, hard look, knowing that he's being DEMANDING because demands are one way to circumvent his little 8-ball problem. but it's difficult not to want to sass over those demands anyway!!]

No. . . I haven't noticed any others. I didn't get the chance to investigate the scene of Haruka-san's death.

[slobjection]

Me neither. But I did investigate nearby.... I saw a trail of blood, and fur.

[ there, giving some info!!!!! is he a good hobodad now? ]

[survivaltricks]

[blood isn't surprising considering Haruka's condition, but the rest--]

Fur?

[Akira is a bit surprised to hear there was fur at the scene so he totally forgets to write down his question]

[slobjection]

[ luckily, phoenix could more or less glean that. ]

Fur. Kind of like it was part of a story.....

[survivaltricks]

[a pause as Akira searches for the question he wants to ask next, before he jots it down quickly]

Did the trail of blood lead anywhere?

[slobjection]

Answer unclear. Try again later.

[ why is he this way. ]

.... Or at least, that's what it seemed to suggest. It just stopped.

1/2

[survivaltricks]

[FOR A MOMENT HE LOOKS PANICKED--]

[survivaltricks]

[okay no it's Wright-san being stupid]

It just. . . stopped? Like whatever was creating the trail disappeared?

[slobjection]

[ yes akira he is very stupid ]

... Basically. But no one other than the four of us could see it. Which makes you wonder how legitimate it is.

[survivaltricks]

[wat]

That. . . doesn't make sense. A blood trail is a blood trail.






Nevermind I just caught myself trying to be logical in an illogical place.
