[you know what's creepy about Akechi?? when he wants to talk to someone, he kind of stalks them for a bit first. anyway, hi Veronica, Akechi is reaching out to you from THE SHADOWS~~~]

Good evening, Veronica-san. A moment of your time?

Comments

[doublecrows]

Very good.

[it's not relief she sees, but he does look pleased?]

Heroes and Civilians have already far exceeded the necessary number of completed objectives. With your three, I know of only five Villain objectives completed.

That's far better than only the two I knew about yesterday.

[asswipe]

[It's good that he looks pleased, but the fact that the villains are the ones dragging everyone else down is... not good. And she frowns.]

Better, but not great. I wouldn't hold my breath for the rest of the villains. The other objectives I've heard of are... really, really bad.

[doublecrows]

I'm aware.

[you're all MURDER WIMPS]

At any rate, now that I know you're a Villain, I'd like to offer my assistance in helping you complete your objective. You don't have to tell me what your prior ones were, of course. Nor do you have to accept my help.

But it's my duty to ensure your objectives are completed. It's a job I take quite seriously, as you can see.

[asswipe]

[a beat.]

You're a Historian? You?

[doublecrows]

[just. smiles]

I'll give you time to think about my offer. You need not accept it, but I will extend my hand to you as an ally nonetheless.

[asswipe]

... Ugh.

[akechi, why.]

Get back to me on that in a week — if I'm still alive, I guess. I need to visit the wishing well to change my current objective.

[doublecrows]

. . . I take it it's something unpleasant?

[like. murdery]

Very well. You may contact me whenever you're ready.

[asswipe]

Something I wouldn't do even if I got paid for it.

[veronica...]

Yeah, yeah. And maybe next time, maybe we can start this conversation like civilized people.

[doublecrows]

[he arches a brow]

I saw nothing wrong with how we began things. I already knew what I wanted when I came to speak with you.

[asswipe]

You have no people skills, huh.
