[SO I HEAR ONE HISTORIAN IS LOOKING FOR THE OTHER]

[Akechi's easy to find, at least. he's in the library, staring at an open book without actually reading or seeing it. have at him, Rebecca]

See, that's what I thought! It would've been fine. Nobody would've died. I doubt anybody else would let me do that. I mean, the sharp knives are only around during mealtime, but I could look for a dagger or something in the armory.

I also got Veronica to agree to join me in a sing along the next time we need to look for evidence. ... Provided she didn't die.

How's your new objective going?

[doublecrows]

[HAHA. . .]

I have yet to take the steps necessary towards completing it, but I'm sure I will, eventually. I just need. . . time.

[disclosures]

How much time do you think you'll have?

What is it anyway? You already know mine.

[doublecrows]

Until this war game ends.

[. . . . haha]

For now, I'd rather keep it to myself, thank you.

[disclosures]

Or you die. [So blunt.]

Too embarrassed about it? Anything else you want to chat about before I press on your objective?

[doublecrows]

. . . or I die, yes.

[ugh. he doesn't answer her question and just MOVES ON!!]

I did want to talk about this past week's Blotters. One of them was executed for being partnerless, did you know?

[disclosures]

I didn't know who either of the Blotters were this week-- wait, you knew who they were?

[doublecrows]

I only knew one.

[Akechi. . .!]

It was 2B. She was likely the one who handled the katana that sliced through Fitzgerald's money.

[disclosures]

And she... told you she was a Blotter?

[The fuck is happening here.]

[doublecrows]

She did.

[WHY DO PEOPLE. . . TRUST AKECHI]

She wished for me to look after Monika, if anything should happen to her.

[. . .]

As you can see, that didn't work out so well.

[disclosures]

[WHY ARE PEOPLE WILLINGLY TRUSTING HIM. Rebecca has to, as they're fellow Historians. But nobody else has to.]

No. Well... I guess we can assume they're together, wherever they are.

... Natsuo didn't take Monika's death well either.

[doublecrows]

[IT BOGGLES THE MIND]

No. He didn't.

[jazz hands at everything that happened at the trial]

I knew they were close, since Monika also didn't take Natsuo's death well.

[disclosures]

[That was a Mess.]

Don't Blotters work together? You an Ann did, right? Any idea what happened there? She sounded like she wouldn't kill her own partner.

[doublecrows]

They do, yes. But that doesn't prevent them from working alone, as I pointed out at trial. Further, we don't know it was the second Blotter that killed Monika and Hijikata. It could have been someone unrelated.

[disclosures]

Whatever kills happen have to be approved by the Crafters, right? That's about all we know for sure.

Ugh. They're not exactly forthcoming with information either.

[doublecrows]

They aren't. And they're very particular with the information they give out, too.

[disclosures]

How often do you think they lie? Or are they just being very careful with what they say to us.

[doublecrows]

I doubt they're lying.

[that wouldn't be fair]

I believe they're being very careful about what they say to us. Choosing their words carefully, so they may be misleading but not an outright lie.

[disclosures]

Oh, right. Stepping around the truth. Exploiting loopholes, you know, like a lawyer.

[Says the lawyer.]

[doublecrows]

Yes, exactly like a lawyer.

[says the detective]
