[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?

Comments

[randori]

[ Stares a hole at the back of Akechi's head, why'd you have to do that, bro? ]

...Harder, but not impossible. Reyna's sensible, so I don't think she'll hate us for doing what we're doing. And we just gotta be aware of who's around when we use it, or use it in secret.

[randori]

[ MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE KILLED!!! or at least denied Ann's condemnations better. ]

You found out enough that you have to take notes to keep track of it all...?

[ Natsuo's found nothing. Hmm. ]

[disclosures]

[H A T E S H I M

She might not hate them for what they're doing, but she's pretty sure Reyna will hate Akechi for however long they'll be here.]

[doublecrows]

There's always next week.

[even if he's convinced he won't be surviving the week, the other four will probably be juuuust fine]

[doublecrows]

Absolutely not.

[that is. an immediate and firm response from Akechi, wow]

Tiger-san chose my title. She gave it to me because she thinks it's funny.

[doublecrows]

[. . . . . . . .]

[does he have to dignify that with a response]

[disclosures]

["If" "Live"

She doesn't really have anybody after her head, as far as she knows. But she didn't think anybody wanted Dave dead either. Just because she doesn't know somebody wants to kill her doesn't mean it won't happen.

Plus Natsuo is partnerless, she doesn't know if what happened with the doll last week will happen again.]

[doublecrows]

Yes? And you haven't?

[Sousei wasn't taking notes either?? ya'll???? Akechi is like that really nerdy smart kid in class that everyone hates]

[doublecrows]

[. . . . . . . OH]

I can help you with that one. I know who Humpty Dumpty is.

[londonstar]

What?! No!

[ waver raises his hands, as if trying to stop natsuo from being so damn excited!! ]

If anyone healed you, it wasn’t me!

[londonstar]

[ ZOOM ]

Is that so? It would help me a lot to find out.

[doublecrows]

[AND AFTER EVERYONE HAS ARRIVED. . . Akechi unfurls his parchment to show everyone the notes he's taken thus far. wow! such notes!!]

I don't know how useful this information will be in the future, but perhaps some of it can help us understand this game a little more.

[doublecrows]

It's Ion-san. The replica.

[which is still THE WORST way of differentiating between them, but]

He has the ability to heal injuries sustained by other individuals, but only by taking them onto himself.

[londonstar]

[ rip akechi’s fucking life ]

So you are implying that there is no logic to how titles are chosen? [ S I G H ] I suppose I expected too much from the Crafters.

1/

[randori]

[ slams his hand on the table because he's so damn excited!!

maybe he should be disappointed, but no, this is a good thing ]

So we do have more than one person who can heal! If you haven't done Summer yet, do Summer! And—

2/2

[randori]

Hey, why didn't you fix me?! I spent four days like that!

[doublecrows]

[rip his life indeed, wait until Waver sees his objective and gift]

There's some logic, depending on which Crafter chose which title. Dragon-san made her decisions by determining which titles would benefit the growth of Narrators the most.

Tiger-san made her decisions on a whimsy, going by the "rule of funny."

[londonstar]

[ waver’s initial reaction is a slight widening of the eyes, blinking in shock. the scars on his face... oh. ]

When Shirasu was injured— Ion was the one who healed him?

[doublecrows]

[ah. . .]

No. He healed my scars.

The ones I received when I wished for a clue pointing to another Historian. The well gave me Sousei-san's scars in response.

[doublecrows]

[. . . right. "if live," indeed. Akechi just kind of gives the book she's using to communicate a dead look, before he continues on]

Certainly, all five of us won't die by next Monday.

[londonstar]

[ HMMMMMM

waver looks away. not gonna talk about it, sorry ]

Well, someone else came through for you. For that, I’m glad.

[disclosures]

[Oh! She can actually help a little bit with this.

She'll flip to Cinderella and circle a finger around "Fairy God Mother"

"Partner".

Then she'll make a gesture at Lord El Melloi II, he's seen her do this particular gesture before.

Two fingers up on each hand, slashes through both middle fingers, tucks the middle fingers away. Put the two index fingers together.

Connect partnerless.]

[disilluded]

[A sigh, and:]

Admittedly I did not expect you. Good day.

[londonstar]

[ good lord that’s a lot to put together. waver hopes that his cherades skills are good enough to correctly interpret her. ]

I believe she’s implying that the fairy godmother is the one responsible for saving those that are partnerless. Like... tying loose strings together.

[randori]

I knew Dave's objective, but that doesn't matter anymore...

[ looks to Akechi ]

I could proclaim my love to you?
