week 0; friday ( shirasu )

[axilium]

[by the time belph trucks on back to his and shirasu's room, he's tired, because wow, today sure sucks.

anyway, whenever shirasu gets back, belph is at his piano, playing a song. when he notices shirasu's presence, though, he pauses.

hey, partner.]

Is it something someone might come up with, based on the tale alone? Or do you believe they'd need to know what you could do to guess the name?

-I won't ask you to reveal yourself, but it would be useful to know if we can guess at which titles might be able to do what. Having only my own isn't too much to work with.

[not knowing the stories makes it harder.]

[axilium]

The second case. I doubt they'd guess correctly based off of the name alone.

[rip shirasu.]

[wagashis]

...well, that at least works in our favor. That will have to do.

[axilium]

If it's any consolation, I'll admit my ability has zero use in a murder. If I'm ever forced to reveal my title, it won't implicate me as a suspect, at least.

[wagashis]

The same is true of mine. That may turn out to be a common thread, so I believe it's worth keeping an eye on.

[axilium]

Going to try and figure out people's titles, are you?

[wagashis]

Why not try? It's something to occupy myself with, and it could prove useful enough.

[axilium]

True enough. Seems like it'll be tricky, though—people don't exactly have a lot of incentive to confess.

[case in point: these two.]

[wagashis]

[why are they the way they are.]

Tricky, but not impossible, especially if we share our observations.

[axilium]

Yeah. Too bad neither of is the popular type with everyone else, huh?

[wagashis]

Have you not been making friends? And here I thought you seemed pleasant enough.

[axilium]

Remind me to use you as a character reference.

[wagashis]

[that isn't a term he's familiar with, but--]

If it would help, then I don't suppose I would mind.

[axilium]

It was a joke.

But don't worry, I'm doing my best to be buddy-buddy with the people here. [especially now that, apparently, the killing part is real.] I hope you're getting along with people not named Sousei as well...?

[wagashis]

Of course I am. There are a few who have been more helpful than I expected, even here.

[axilium]

Like who?
