week 3; friday ( akechi )

[axilium]

['sup, akechi.

which is to say that while belph doesn't look too hot (because, uh, breathing in smoke), he'll be approaching akechi.]

... One of your allies, huh?

Comments

[doublecrows]

[that's only because he missed the investigation entirely. oops]

Naturally. But Fitzgerald-san killed Natsuo last week. I doubt anyone will pay him much attention.

[says. . . the other murderer]

[axilium]

Maybe. On the other hand, his death was on the brutal side. People might be more uneasy about letting a killer like that wander free.

[doublecrows]

They've kept me alive.

[and he was a shithead at his murder trial]

[axilium]

Being an asshole is a little different from cutting off a guy's fingers and scattering them for no apparent reason that we know of yet.

[doublecrows]

[well. yeah, that's fair. Akechi preferred to keep his kills quick and clean, at the very least]

And what's your preference, Belph-san?

[axilium]

... Well, I think we need to catch Monika's killer to give a few people closure.

[not just akechi (though, pragmatically, he's the most relevant to belph)—monika seemed to be well-liked.]

It'd be good if we could get a lead on Hijikata's as well. I don't know how Souji will react if we don't.

[... while belph might've brought up fitz, he. does not really care about fitz.]

[doublecrows]

[who also doesn't care about Fitz, AKECHI DOESN'T CARE ABOUT FITZ, Fitzgerald honestly deserves better]

And then we're faced with the same dilemma as before. Which killer do we vote for?

And if we don't find who targeted Monika, Toshizo and Fitzgerald, then will they finally vote for me?

[axilium]

[does fitz honestly deserve better]

... Well, we'll see. It's hard to predict how things will go at this point.

[doublecrows]

[yes???]

It is.

But this group has done well to catch killers before. We should do well tomorrow, too.

[axilium]

Don't jinx us. [...] Still, all we can do is our best.

[doublecrows]

[and then the village LYNCHED AN INNOCENT even though Akechi was RIGHT THE FUCK THERE]

Then we'll see if our best is good enough, in time.
