[Week 2, Tuesday: Waver, Sousei, Rebecca, Natsuo]

[doublecrows]

[AND SO, history repeats itself, and the long-awaited reunion of the past murder game's alumni occurs. . .]

[. . . in the library!1]

[Akechi is already there by the time people start filing in, his parchment sitting in his lap, quill tucked between his fingers. he doesn't say anything at first, but PRESUMING at some point he and Natsuo exchanged Historian names with each other and then told the others who was part of this group so they'd all know prior to the meeting, he nods at each one in turn]

I imagine you all have been quite busy these past two weeks?

[She opens up one of the books

"hope" "makes" "game" "finish".]

[randori]

So Rebecca can talk too! If I'm not there, it'll have to be through charades! Like sign language!

[ HE'S TRYING... ]

[doublecrows]

[and he shifts, looking a bit uncomfortable, before he answers]

The Swan Princess.

[why him]

[disclosures]

[She gestures at him. Come on, if you've got something to say to her, then just do it. Just say it. She can't say shit right now!]

[randori]

[ He's in square 1.2, almost to the next square, but there's never really a good time for it, he's found. It's something that'll happen eventually, though, so his is an objective that he isn't worried about completing at all. ]

[disclosures]

[She takes Natsuo's hand, T E A C H C O D E]

[londonstar]

[ good lord the sarcasm just flies over this kid’s head. waver sighs, dragging a hand down his face. ]

That’s correct. It will be much easier to complete our tasks with each other’s help— what task do you have to do?

[randori]

[ Natsuo just goes to the Crafters to chat... not even thinking about homework when he goes to see them. ]

That's why we do this as a team! You shake the info out of people, and the rest of us swoop in and help get them done! The other people don't have to know we're helping!

[randori]

Ah- well... I dunno how useful it'd be after this week, but okay. If any of you guys want to learn Morse Code, I can teach you.

[disclosures]

[K E E P S E C R E T S

Since being Historians might be more dangerous now that they've found each other.]

[randori]

I get to host sleepovers! I'm almost done, too! Can I sleep with you?

[ I'm sorry ]

[londonstar]

[ oh. right. waver shakes his head ]

Do not worry, I am not angry at you. To be quite honest, I’m more irritated towards our general situation.

[londonstar]

Ask Lady Reyna, not me.

[ she’s the one with the pants in the partnership, not him. ]

[randori]

[ Oh. Uh. ]

I sorta already taught Reyna too. That's okay, right?

[ UNFORTUNATELY Natsuo isn't very good with secrets. ]

[disclosures]

[She gestures at everybody here, makes a round circle with her fingers and then puts up 2 fingers.

Everybody here, round 2.

Rebecca's not that happy about it either.]

[disclosures]

[Her gaze drifts over to Akechi and then back to Natsuo.

Reyna doesn't like him much, does she?

M A K E S I T H A R D E R]

[randori]

[ People keep deferring to other people!! Kyouka was like that too... ]

I'll ask her then. And what about yours? I said I'll help you with whatever!

[doublecrows]

[ah. . . okay, truthfully, Akechi hadn't even thought that the completion of objectives might've helped bring the game to a close. but that's because he sucks, and just wants whatever reward was promised him for playing his role]

It's a possibility. It's difficult to say, without the Crafters confirming or denying same.

[doublecrows]

[Akechi's a bit. . . tense, at the contact. but for once, he isn't pulling away. perhaps he's just getting used to Natsuo?]

You mean the hint?

It was smart, all the way up until some people recognized my scars were exactly like his.

[doublecrows]

[WHO IS GOING TO TRUST A KILLER WITH THAT KIND OF INFO, THO. . .]

Some of the information I've obtained isn't just about objectives, too. I'll be sharing my notes with everyone once we've all arrived and settled in.

[disclosures]

[Her own selfishness is why she's doing her objective right now instead of putting it off.

But seeing the strain all of this is putting Natsuo through... she wants it to end. Even if she has little to no affection to the other people in the castle.

"Mermaid" "can't" "ask"

Or Rebecca literally can't ask them that this week. Maybe next week, though she doesn't expect an actual answer.]

[londonstar]

From Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake?

[ waver doesn’t know much about ballet, but he does know the gist of it and... he has no idea how that relates with akechi. ]

I believe that titles were given because they have something to do with us— do you believe your title relates to you in any way?

[randori]

[ ...............Natsuo didn't realize that at all. ]

That doesn't tell them anything, though! Maybe your wish was "Sousei's so cool! I wish I could be more like him!" I'd make that sort of wish!

[londonstar]

[ waver hesitates for a second, but finally gives in. ]

I must find the person with the title of “Humpty Dumpty” and heal them from the injuries they’ve sustained.

[randori]

[ ]

So you've been going around healing everybody who needs it so you can find them!? You're the one who fixed me!!?
