[He doesn't look injured, though he is in long sleeves. But he looks worn, red around the eyes. He's sitting with a distinct slump in his shoulders and doesn't bother to rise.]
I did. [He concedes easily.] I'd hoped to see if I could catch Elysia having a conversation with her killer. And after setting that intention, I was made to understand it wouldn't hone in on someone who I couldn't identify in the first place.
So it gave me the next best thing. A conversation she had with both you and Akihiko, during the lock in.
[He huffs, teeth gritted in a bitter grin as he shakes his head.]
It would've been to convenient if it just told you who she was talking to after midnight. A shame.
[well, nobody can say richie didn't try.
there's a pause here, as if mizu is considering whether to say something or not — before she sighs. sharp and quick, like she's ripping off a bandaid.]
There's something else you should know. [though mizu is clearly unhappy about it.] Elysia, Akihiko and I spent the night in the fairgrounds. When I woke up, I found a bruise below my ribs.
A damn shame. Just a complete waste. Glad you had fun golfing, though.
[This is such horseshit. He wipes his face with a sigh.
But also hm.]
...You don't say. [Cants his head. Then, having to use his teeth on the cuff, pulls back his sleeve to reveal a bruise on his forearm.] I was in the funhouse — not by choice — with Shadowheart, Anders, Wis'adel, Kaworu, and Ali. And I woke up with this.
I was telling Lucas it might well be another apple situation, but it could also be these so-called possessions are ramping up. We may have two lost causes on our hands.
...Not that I'd be thrilled about any configuration. It's an ugly game no matter how you play it.
... Yes. Though if it's another apple situation, I will insist that we dole out some kind of tangible consequence. We cannot be swayed by a pair of sad eyes and claims of self-defense again.
I haven't spoken to the gal since. I don't...I can't stand by it. Not against a child.
[he doesn't give a shit about ghost clone bullshit dan was absolutely a baby]
...If we have some special goodies at trial, we might be able to suss out whether someone did go for an apple once we corner them. Maybe it would be a waste, or whoever was in charge of it might be morally opposed, but it's a thought.
Well Mizu, if it ever turns out I'm on the chopping block, I will absolutely give you the first swing. I'd rather the mercy of your blade than whatever the fuck would come for me at expulsion.

It might be both killers tried to cover some tracks. One has an arm bruise and the other has one in the gut.
no subject
[which is actually making her sooooo mad like
WHY IS HER BRUISE SPECIAL. FUCK OFF.]
no subject
In that case, maybe the arm one is a deliberate cover up, but yours was an accident? Someone tripping over you trying to make a getaway?

Well, depending on what kind of shit show we stir up come the final hour, you may just get your wish.

Whether you wanted me to or not, I'd have your head for making me endure nine more hours of trial.
