[Prologue, Saturday: Hikage]
[hi Hikage!! this evening Akechi can be found making post-trial coffee in the kitchen, if you happen to stumble across him in the process of same]
Oh, Hikage-san. Good evening.
Care for a drink?
Oh, Hikage-san. Good evening.
Care for a drink?
DOUBT!!!!!!!!
I was mostly wondering if you were subtly asking me what my title was, actually.
[a light chuckle, before he answers the question]
Just the silencer. It's a piece of evidence from a case I was investigating immediately before arriving here.
[l o l]
no subject
Huh... That's pretty useless. [ he's going to put the tray in the oven now, excuse him akechi. ] If I asked you for your title, would you actually tell me?
no subject
[he also seems to considering this, before answering]
I wouldn't. Not because I don't trust you, but because I have yet to tell my partner what it is. We've exchanged objectives, but not titles. I think he should be the first to know, before I share this information with anyone else.
no subject
[ there's a pause as he tries to remember who that is... and then a sour expression on his face when he does. ]
You think you can trust that guy with information like that?
[ he's lacking a filter at best... ]
no subject
[Akechi that's so extra]
no subject
... Fair enough. [ setting those babies to bake!! now he just has to... wait. he'll pass time sipping coffee with akechi, apparently. ]
Does he say weird things to you, too?
no subject
[he doesn't even need Hikage to define "weird" because Eichi is "weird"]
no subject
I thought so. I don't know what his deal is... If he tries anything, I don't mind if you come to my room.
[ he feels like eichi is the type to try and grab some ass or something okay ]
no subject
I'll bear that in mind. Thanks, Hikage-san.
no subject
[ he got... moderately lucky... steph seems like she's going to leap straight into danger as soon as she spots it, but at least the flirting is... less. we'll go with less. ]
Your profile says you've got good reasoning, too. If that's true, you'll be a useful ally.
no subject
Well, thank you. [FEED HIS EGO, HIKAGE] I do intend to offer my skills to the group as a whole in whatever helpful way I can. Whether it will be enough. . . well. Time will tell.
no subject
I don't think you should try to help the whole group. Some people here are lying to you. Of course, I think it's best that we find the culprit as often as possible... but I'm pretty convinced that there are titles who are working against us. You'd be better off finding a few people you can confide in.
no subject
[Hikage's assertion gets a slow blink from Akechi]
Why do you think there are titles working against us?
no subject
It's just a hypothesis... But the titles are divided into heroes, civilians, and villains. There were a bunch of things that showed up last week just to confuse us, too, like that armor. It would make sense if the heroes were trying to help us survive and the villains were trying to make us fail, wouldn't it? Especially if one side is Tiger's and one side is Dragon's.
no subject
I think that's a bit too simplistic.
[wow, blunt]
Villains are just as much a part of a story as heroes. If narratives are their theme, then I think it's less about heroes helping and villains hindering, and more about everyone achieving the end of a personal story arc.
That's what our objectives are for. Or, at least, doesn't it seem that way?
no subject
the bluntness doesn't bother Hikage in the least, because he's the same way most of the time. In fact, it seems like it makes him take Akechi more seriously. He raises an eyebrow. ]
Is that what your objective seems like?
no subject
My objective isn't something that would benefit the whole of the group, yes. But it wouldn't harm them, either. It's something more. . . personal, and individualistic.
no subject
no subject
[he shakes his head in response to that question]
I am a hero. Are you?
no subject
No. I'm a civilian. One of the princes.
[ he takes a sip of his coffee. look at him, actually sharing information. ]
no subject
Cinderella's prince, or Snow White's prince. Curious.
no subject
no subject
Would sharing your objective give your title away?
