[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.

[slobjection]

[ akira catches himself before phoenix responds, so he just smiles. ]

My guess? It's part of the show.

[survivaltricks]

[. . . ha]

Whatever this "show" is supposed to be.

[slobjection]

Murder mystery, from the looks of it.

[survivaltricks]

Those kind of shows are only fun if nobody actually dies.

[slobjection]

Master Blue might disagree... assuming this was part of their surprise.

[survivaltricks]

Master Blue is full of bullshit.

[just gonna STRAIGHT UP insult Master Blue because Fuck You]

[slobjection]

What makes you say that?

[ like he agrees but ]

[survivaltricks]

[you asked a question Phoenix]






Try asking Pete.

[slobjection]

.... My bad.

[ god. ]

[survivaltricks]

[waves a hand and gives him a look. rephrase it another way, maybe??]

[slobjection]

I want to know your full opinion on Master Blue.

[survivaltricks]

[waggles a hand]

Whoever they are, they're the kidnapper and orchestrator of this whole thing.

My opinion on them isn't very high, but it isn't based on anything except us being kidnapped and speculation about their intentions.

[slobjection]

[ ilu al. ]

There's those three girls, too..... Wonder what their role is in all this.
