week 0; friday ( akechi )

[axilium]

[so that all sure just happened.

... honestly, it's not like he knew gi-gan that well, or her partner, or jae-ha, but...

well, whatever. when he sees akechi, his expression is empty.]

Ready to get to work, detective?

[axilium]

Shoot.

[doublecrows]

You were so certain that someone was dead this morning, after we discovered Evans was alive.

Why?

[axilium]

[he blinks.]

Are you accusing me, detective?

[doublecrows]

[a pleasant smile]

Not at all. I have no reason to believe you're involved.

I merely found your certainty to be. . . interesting.

[axilium]

The rulebook does state that at least one person will be killed. I'll admit I wasn't sure at first if it'd really happen, but then I thought Sharpay was the first victim.

[he shrugs.]

It was a pleasant surprise that she wasn't, but it's a little hard to snap back to the mindset of "oh, maybe no one's dead!" after a scare like that.

1/2

[doublecrows]

The rule book doesn't specify when.

[. . .]

But considering curfew is implemented on Thursday nights, I suppose it's a fair deduction to presume they would occur then. That, coupled with stumbling upon Evans's still body, does provide enough basis for that assumption. Still. . .

[for a moment, he looks pensive]

[doublecrows]

[a sigh, and a sheepish, awkward chuckle]

I believe I may be thinking too hard, after all of the excitement from today.

[axilium]

[he raises an eyebrow, because that sure comes close to an accusation and he doesn't quite buy that akechi has dropped it, but.]

I mean, I also had this weirdass ominous feeling that morning, but I don't know if it was just me.

Anyway, better to think too hard than to not think at all.

[doublecrows]

Oh no, that wasn't just you. I felt it, too.

Unpleasant, wasn't it?

[axilium]

That's one way of putting it. I hope you don't feel like that normally every time you walk onto a crime scene.

[doublecrows]

Fortunately, no. That'd make any investigation far more unpleasant than it already is.
