[while everyone's probably sick of the gardens at this point, belph finds himself wandering back to the castle grounds at some point.
which hopefully is where veronica is because idk how else we're going to continue this pc, kyuu.] | | |
|
[if hikage happens to stop by the earth dorm (which he'd better, asshole), he might hear the sound of piano music. and, well, there's really only one source it could be coming from.
come say hi, hikage!!] | | |
|
[belph is a bit difficult to find, tonight—namely because he's in the last place steph might think to look for him.
...
which is to say that he stands in the observatory, watching the constellations play out. it might be a lie to call him peaceful, but if nothing else, he looks contemplative.] | | |
|
[oh look, there's souji.]
So how'd you enjoy your two seconds of being dead? | | |
|
[HEY ASSHOLE.]
I'm sure you'll be glad to know I didn't accidentally poison Sanji with his favourite recipe.
[i hope no one expected belph to say anything mushy for this reunion] | | |
|
['sup veronica, fellow villain who probably wishes they were dead instead.]
How are you holding up? | | |
|
[somewhere that wouldn't require souji to wheeze his way to—
well, in that place, belph smiles once he sees souji. can you tell jan gives up.]
Looks like you made it.
[unless souji's a hallucination, because who even knows anymore.] | | |
|
[hi, sanji.
they probably both need rest, and there are a bunch of (nicer) things belph could potentially say, but first:]
I hallucinated Akechi's presence until I found his body. You know anything about that?
[because that was as weird as fuck.] | | |
|
[they're somewhere. don't ask me where.
anyhow, belph's called them all here, because it's time to be on the same page before murder night, basically. some threads with the crafters are ongoing for us probably but!!] | | |
|
[between their fun, fun adventure yesterday and what's going to happen tonight, none of which jae-ha could know, this is incredibly awkward.
still... might as well carry out a dead man's request. he thinks? what the hell are they even doing anymore, who knows.
but it means that at some point, belph will be telling sanji to come and get his ass to the kitchen! now!] | | |
|
[BURSTS INTO THE ROOM
not literally, but he does seem a little less composed than usual.]
Two questions:
One... [because this has been bugging him for a while, honestly.] My first wish—did that actually come true, or was that just an illusion by the well?
[...]
Two: According to Cardia, you said that there's "still more to learn for the sake of our friends". What did you mean by that? | | |
|
[...
for once, when approaching akechi, belph looks completely serious.]
Detective. | | |
|
[belph isn't wasting any time.]
The book beat me to it, but whatever. Get Ion and Veronica to make sure no one does any independent kills this week. Make it an entire PSA if they want—if it comes down to it, better that people volunteer to die than we go around killing in a blind attempt to cull the numbers. | | |
