Ooh, nice! You guys get to use the big hose and everything?
[ fun!
he just laughs at the suggestion, which is, under the circumstances, extremely valid. ]
Yeah, maybe so. I don't think I'll mess up that bad again, at least. Didn't even realize I had the thing so I just kinda set it off accidentally when I was tryin' to get a better look at some stuff in there.
Oh! OK. Yeah, I just glanced over the clues but haven't sat down to do it. Kinda fun that they're addin' some new stuff in, I guess. That and the comics and whatnot.
[she is right outside of snorm (snake dorm), looking at the leftover mess — since nothing gets repaired until the new week. this fucking sucks. she lifts her gaze to look at datz whenever passes by, though.]
... You helped him, too. You're friends, aren't you?
[old man yaoiz support system...]
It's not fair that Adlet put this on him. Reigen didn't even do anything wrong. And now he's going to feel like it's his fault that Whisper died, even though it isn't.
I know. I mean— there are a lot of things I wish had gone differently last week, but. I just... can't wrap my head around doing what he did to her just to get back at somebody else.
... It's cruel, isn't it? I thought he might try to kill Reigen. But I didn't expect him to be the type of person who was willing to take it a step further than that.
if datz wants to check in on saya, he will have to keep looking for A While before he eventually finds her. somewhere. they are in the void. she's sitting on the ground with her knees pulled up to her chest, staring at nothing in particular with the slightly dead eyed stare of someone who is all out of tears. but she lifts her gaze when he comes across her little hidey hole, rubbing at her face. hi.]
[ he'll just... stand and lean against something because that's easier than bending too much right now. his right arm's still in a sling and he's got a new scar on his face. ]
This really sucks.
[ stating the obvious, but what else is there to say. ]
[ he's still so mad about that for so many reasons.
he's quiet for a while, thinking about this. ]
It's gotta be someone who barely knows either him or any of us who care about him. Even if it wasn't meant as a punishment, I could see someone thinking, like— it's objectively more fair to kill someone who had some responsibility for other deaths than someone who hadn't done anything.
Which, sure, makes sense in theory, but if they actually knew him or the people around him, they'd realize what an enormous blow that would be to morale and how ugly it'd inevitably get.
To be fair, the end of that last trial was such a damn mess that— I mean, it was real clear that you and me were standing up for him, but there was so much to be mad about that I dunno how obvious all the others were about it. So maybe they're underestimating.
[ ...he nods at the next part. ]
I did, yeah. Which is part of why I wonder if it was a calculation rather than something done out of hate or whatever.

'Ey, these're really good!!

saya watches him do this like she thinks it's the funniest thing.]
... I can tell.
w1, tuesday
anyway, he waves at saya wherever he sees her. freedom! ]
They really did let us out!
[ even though she presumably already knows that because reigen's on her team! ]
no subject
it's fine she was rude and did not ask reigen how the rest of the jailbirds were doing. she claps.]
Yay! I was a little worried we would have to burn down the prison.
no subject
Wouldn't completely take that off the table just yet, but. They can stay standin' for now.
no subject
For now. I don't want them to arrest anybody else.
w3, monday
Hey! You get in on some of that firefighting action?
no subject
[by stuffing a prinny in the trash, but that is not relevant here.]
You should probably stay outdoors until Ryuki can teach you how to control it, though.

[tarkea's stocks are in shambles??
she laughs, like an asshole.]
You're lucky you didn't hurt yourself. But at least you know not to do that again, right?
no subject
[ can't wait until he sees the video on social media ]
Yeah, I gotcha. Should be fine! Now that I know that's a thing I've gotta worry about I'll be way more careful.
[ he'll probably forget about it in twenty minutes. it's fine. ]

Sure, sure. [a pause, then, humming.] By the way, have you read today's newspaper?

week three, saturday.
... Are you looking for Reigen?
no subject
I'm gonna, but I wanted to check in on you too. You were a big help today.
no subject
[she seems a little surprised.]
... It's like I said, Whisper is my teammate. I had to.
no subject
You guys were a really good team, and it sucks that that got taken away from you.

week four, friday.

Hey.
[ he'll just... stand and lean against something because that's easier than bending too much right now. his right arm's still in a sling and he's got a new scar on his face. ]
This really sucks.
[ stating the obvious, but what else is there to say. ]
no subject
[quietly. her voice is hoarse from crying, her eyes still rimmed red.]
It's not fair. Wasn't killing Whisper enough of a punishment?
no subject

[the teens threw a cat under a bus, for starters. and then there was everything that happened last week. god.
after a beat:]
You... saw it, right? The letter from last week that talked about killing?
no subject
[ ...he nods at the next part. ]
I did, yeah. Which is part of why I wonder if it was a calculation rather than something done out of hate or whatever.
no subject
If it was, then there's obviously something wrong with their math. I don't... really care for their reasoning, either.

Hmm, maybe if you made the net look like the safer option...?
[don't.]
