[Week 6, Friday: Varian]

[wow, Akechi looks. . . like shit]

[he's haggard and obviously panicked, raking a hand through his hair when he finds Varian. he tries to keep his voice even when he speaks, but. it's a Struggle]


Varian-san.

[his words are strained]

I need to know. Who have you told about me?
alchemenace: (this story is already full of holes.)

[ that's fine varian's just kind of hanging out in a ball somewhere hugging his raccoon. he hesitates for a second before he shrugs ]

My partner. Who's dead. So.
alchemenace: (you don't outgrow punk sir)

Why are you asking? Just, just get to the point.

[ listen. varian isn't in a great place, either, between ion and fane and--

and not evan he's fine about evan he doesn't regret shit it was necessary shut up shut up shut up. ]

[ he picks at Rudiger's fur half-mindedly ]

Natsuo and Lord El-Melloi, right? [ he hasn't yet realize akechi didnt tell him that, so he continues: ] ... You think you guys are being targeted on purpose?

alchemenace: (it's takoyaki)

[personal profile] alchemenace 2018-07-21 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
... I don't know. That would mean Lord El-Melloi and Natsuo were killed by the same person or group, wouldn't it? But his body was...

[ it was fucked up. ]

It looks like a grudge.
alchemenace: (so you chose your dad over me)

[personal profile] alchemenace 2018-07-21 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
If it's a grudge against Historians, you'd think they'd go after you first, not Natsuo.

[ he is just saying? but. ]

How many people knew you guys are Historians anyway?
alchemenace: (i will release your secrets.)

[personal profile] alchemenace 2018-07-21 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... that list. one name sticks out to him. ]

Sanji? You told him?
alchemenace: (anyone over the age of six)

[personal profile] alchemenace 2018-07-21 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... he has a conspiracy theory, but he doesn't like it, so let's break it down: ]

Do you know how he found out?
alchemenace: (you don't outgrow punk sir)

[personal profile] alchemenace 2018-07-21 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
... He's not.

[ ah. he doesn't expand on that, though, because-- ]

Akechi, did you ever consider whether Beauty and the Beast were a pattern? A hero and villain pair that are both Editors, with matching titles?
alchemenace: (anyone over the age of six)

[personal profile] alchemenace 2018-07-21 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ Varian lets out a breath ]

I know who all the other villains are except for that title. And... I happen to be pretty certain Zelos is a villain.

[ he doesn't want to be right on this, because he likes sanji, but. ]

It's only a theory. Sanji could've learned it a myriad of other ways. But.
alchemenace: (have you ever met a human woman?)

[personal profile] alchemenace 2018-07-21 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
... Me neither. Okay. Okay. Don't confront either of them about this yet? Sanji likes me. I might be able to get it out of him if I ask.
alchemenace: (i just captured the exact moment)

[personal profile] alchemenace 2018-07-21 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ makes a face you pedantic ass he obviously meant about editors ]

I think we've already established I'm smart enough to get an answer out of him without needing to be so straightforward about it.
alchemenace: (it's crazy how much she flirts with me)

[personal profile] alchemenace 2018-07-21 10:35 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't have even mentioned it in the first place if I was going to.

[ he says it like the idea of it didn't just hit him because he's stressed out about murders but listen. shut up. ]
alchemenace: (anyone over the age of six)

[personal profile] alchemenace 2018-07-22 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
...

[ varian just looks. tired and exhausted all of a sudden ]

Yeah. I knew it was something like that. He-- Veronica told me what his letter said.
