[ not me falling asleep before i even got to this ]
Mizu.... [ wah. hi. ] How's Richie?
Mizu.... [ wah. hi. ] How's Richie?
[ he does not say "or richie could blow over in a stiff breeze" because A) yeah, him too and B) he is just too nice, but he does think some shade of it, then shakes his head... ]
...Mm. [ mizu being impressed is not surprising, though - and even then, it's a tiny, welcome moment of levity. ] It could have ended worse... though, the trial as a whole certainly could have gone better.

I know... that worries me the most.
[ taair reaches up to set a hand against his heart, his frown deepening. ]
With what we were told today, that person is in danger just as much as any of the rest of us are. We have to find out who they are, and quickly.

[ rrrrrrgh. ]
... I'm worried that it will spread, too. Though... more optimistically, perhaps we will get lucky next week. We've discovered all kinds of different items - maybe something will turn up that will help us uncover who did it, even if we have to get a bit creative.

[ don't you dare put that pox on our house
he taps his chin. ]
Not yet, no... I think I'd like to take a survey, and see if there's anything that's been missed. It may be wise to open up lines of communication to the entire group so we're efficient.
[ which will hopefully start happening (looks at title of pc) tomorrow! yay ] And I know there have been some repeats, as well. I also did not hear of any new items besides those we already had to help us solve anything, either. So... perhaps more of that is on the horizon, too.
Small hopes. [ he says, offering them a little a smile. ] But our hopes, nonetheless.

[ you know despite the horrors of the last weekend, it is a new dawn and a new day! it's beautiful in the candy kingdom and taair has one hand over his brow, where mizu will find him...
halfway up the hedge walls. like he is trying very hard to get to the top... or get to something... ]
Come here, little one. It's alright.
[ ?????
even from afar, his emotions are warm as ever, and there's a thread of curiosity and wonder that seems to underlay his very presence, though it's always laced with something soft and a little sad, but that is just background noise compared to the focused intention of... whatever he is doing.... ]

[help. watches him do this.
the vibes are amused. positive in general toward taair? though no matter what mizu is feeling at the moment, there's always something a little... off in the background. tired and muted.
without making any other sound to announce taair isn't alone:]
What are you doing?
[hi.]

[ unfortunately this works every time, by which i mean he yelps, startled, jumping and quite nearly losing his spot on the hedge wall. ]
-- Ah! [ and a second later, he will see a bird come flying out of the hedge, feathers ruffled. ] ...Ah....
[ HAND TO HEART ]
Mizu, you nearly gave me a heart attack.....

[ you're gonna regret saying that when he's dead in fifteen minutes
anyway - there's a little laugh at the ridiculousness of the entire situation, and he stops clinging onto the bush long enough to wipe a little sweat from his brow. jeez. ]
Ah... birdwatching. Sort of. [ ... gesturing into the hedge ] Look - I was right.
[ inside of the spot where taair is gesturing is a bird's nest. one of the birds went flying out, but there's another, completely not moving, and looking.... off. it is a cake bird. ]
They were so close together, I wasn't sure at first - but as it turns out, one was real and one was not.

[ gives you the later afternoon one which is that taair is at the hospital, sitting outside and just kind of rubbing his temples. his emotions are... stressed, at the moment, and grim, and also just generally tired and kind of sad as you are on a friday.
he glances up - despite all this, he still has a soft smile for mizu, tinged with immediate friendship and affection. ]
Mizu... good day.

Mizu... good day.
[nods at him... hello. mizu's mood isn't quite as bad as taair's, but it is still decidedly grim. a weary sort of anger over everything that's happened and everything that's yet to come.]
I wouldn't call it good.
[it is... a day.
glances at the hospital.]
Were you visiting someone?

[ he opens his mouth. closes it.
he trusts mizu, though, so - after a moment, he nods. ]
... Akihiko contacted me out of the blue and asked if I would help him with a variety of... very fresh injuries.
[ his emotions ripple into something more troubled, the just so smile creasing down. ]

[ haha. yeah! him too. ]
...He... had no alibi, and no one with him when he injured himself - though he said it is something he has done before, but not every week. Only the first. And...last night, he was alone with Majima - and that worries me.
[ his frown deepens, and mizu can feel something troubled in his matching emotions, too. ]
He did allow me to take pictures of all of his injuries, and... from what I could tell, he was injured by what he said he was. But... I worry that perhaps it was a cover for something else.

Mm. A coping mechanism. He punched a wall, apparently, the first week. And... this week, ran to the dungeons.
[ even taair, the nicest boy in the world, sounds doubtful. he makes a soft noise, though, and passes his phone over to mizu to examine some photos! ] Here - take a look.
[ they are offfffff gets my copy from the tag: "a single small bruise that also bled externally, (so there was a laceration) and he sure has like three or four puncture wound distributed on his upper body, one of them on his back" as well as "bloodied clothing and a skeleton hand that was still holding onto the back of his head" ]

Ha ha.... not only on a Friday, but alone on a Friday... and after he'd not done anything similar after saying that it was a common way he coped with the deaths each week.....
[ there's the emotion of "not sure whether to laugh or just like bury my face in my hands". ]
