[waving back! nico is nearby and either resting or occupied with a different pc that we mysteriously cannot hear right now to explain why he isn't talking even though the two of them are glued at the hip.]
I'm feeling a lot better now, thanks. Sorry for scaring you guys earlier.
Nah, I gotcha. Next time something like that comes up, though, lemme take a shot at it instead. I think it's my turn by now.
...Those clothes we found in the lake. There was blood on the front of the collar and then another bloodstain on the back of the shirt, about halfway down on the right side. It was darker on the inside, like whoever was wearing it bled onto it, but there wasn't any damage to it. Like, last week the blood was around the rips in the fabric, but this wasn't like that.
Unless it was someone's power coming into play, the only thing I could think was that whoever was wearin' it must have already been wounded before they put it on.
...already wounded, and then the wound reopened, you mean? Because if they'd just been bleeding freely from the start, it would've been more than just on that one spot. If it was bandaged or partially healed already, that would contain it.
Yeah, that's kinda what I was thinking. Either that or it was faked altogether, I guess, but...
[ sighs. ]
I dunno. They were pretty small is the other thing, so if it was something the killer actually wore and not something planted... I didn't wanna bring too much attention to that once we already had our eyes on Adlet for Whisper, y'know?
...that's not entirely impossible, actually. It being faked. It'd clear someone who couldn't fit into the clothes, but it wouldn't definitively pin anyone who could fit into it but didn't have any injuries in those spots. It'd be a way for a culprit to clear themself without actively trying to throw an individual under the bus.
[he nods]
But yeah, I get it. If it wasn't faked, then... well, there aren't many answers to that that we'd like.
I don't think it's impossible either. Just... seems to me it'd be kinda weird that they did it that way, in that case. I dunno if they just missed adding rips that should've been there or if they were trying to say something by intentionally leavin' 'em out.
[ ... ]
Anyway, I guess... if you end up treatin' anyone who looks like they have a healed wound in that spot, it's something to look into further.
[ it's midnight on wednesday i don't care about settings anymore. we are somewhere and here's a memory (10:49 - 17:11) of him being a fucking dumbass during his american detention center experience. ]
["it's midnight on wednesday i don't care about settings anymore" is SO real. anyway, will has been trying to look away from the panels when they pop up to give people their privacy, but when he looks away another one pops up in front of his face, so. you know. it's fine.
...
at least datz seems to be enjoying himself in jail?]
Yeah! Having that party here last week was a good choice. [ ... ] I mean, I guess I was also cursed to be super into it at the time, so I would think that, but.
[ shows up at the jail eventually with a little bag of apple rabbits that he offers through the bars. it's not a callback like it was when he brought them for ace, but at this point it's just kind of his pre-execution parting gift for people he cares about, because he honestly doesn't know what the hell else he can do. ]
he blinks at the apple rabbits, startled, for a few moments, before reaching out to take one. he does not really have much of an appetite, but he knows he should eat to keep up his strength.]
...I don't wanna hear any apologies from anyone, because this wasn't any of your faults. [a beat.] Unless you're the one who used the puzzle curse on me. I'll accept an apology for that, because. Yeesh.
...I guess I've never really been the type to do anything by halves. I'm sure that was a pain in the ass for you guys to deal with, though... I'm sorry.
Not your fault someone picked a rotten time to curse you. It sucked while we were dealing with it, yeah, but that was mostly 'cause we were short on time, and without knowing it was a curse it kinda made you look like a psycho.
Really feel like cursing people on Thursdays oughtta be illegal.

w3, saturday post-trial
anyway, hanako is safe, thank fucking god, so datz is just kind of wandering around in the evening, and gives will a nod when he sees him. ]
That tea wore off, I hope?
no subject
Yeah, after half an hour or so. It was just wooziness - Hung's the one we're going to want to check in on, it seems like what he got was more severe.
no subject
I'll try to swing by and check on him after this. You both gave us all a scare with that, but... I appreciate you guys being willing to go that far.

Can I get your take on something with that other case, as a medic?
