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

[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?

[. . . OKAY, THAT'S FAIR??]

Ah-- hello, Bunch.

[awkward. she's the only one in this group he hasn't spoken to since his, uh. murder]

[She waves at him, then opens up a fairy tale book she's been carrying around.

"Little Mermaid" and points at herself. Hopefully he can understand what she means with that.]

[oh. oh! yep, he sure can]

Your timing is a bit. . . [well, anyway] If you have something to say, feel free to borrow my parchment and ink.

[There's one big shrug! Hey! How was she supposed to know this was going to happen this week.

She forms an X with her fingers. That's a no go, she's not allowed to use spoken or written words this week.]

[welp]

Spoken and written word? That makes things quite. . . difficult.

But I'm pleased to see you working on your objective nonetheless.

[She opens up one of the books

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

[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.

[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.]

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]

["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.]

Ah! If you want, I can translate for Rebecca! Or we can play charades!

. . . is now really the time to play charades, Natsuo?

[translating: good. games: ???? THEY SHOULD BE SHARING INFO]

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

[ HE'S TRYING... ]

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

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.

[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.]

[ Oh. Uh. ]

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

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

[ People had better be cool with the murder?? Natsuo not so subtly lurks behind Akechi at all times, like a shadow waiting to jump on anybody who says otherwise. ]

[Natsuo the guard dog???]

[ Natsuo the guard puppy tbh, leaning his elbows on Akechi's shoulders whenever he makes the mistake of sitting down. ]

You've been busy, though? Using your wish like that, that's smart!

[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.

[ ...............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!

[. . . . . . . .]

[does he have to dignify that with a response]

[ shakes Akechi's shoulder ]

Sousei's cool. Say it.

I believe we have more important matters to discuss at the moment, Natsuo-san.

[HE WON'T SAY IT]
