[...]

Is that so?

[He narrows his eyes, obviously annoyed now. Hm. Should he sell a little kid to the house for one corn chip?]

I don't know what Amada-kun is talking about, but I'm not planning anything. [He scoffs.] And you're an idiot for believing it. What, exactly, did he say?

[survivaltricks]

[NO??? HE'S A GOOD JUSTICE KID???]

[. . .]

[Akira lifts a hand to his chin, expression thoughtful]

He did say he planned on asking you. . . he just came to me first because-- [WAVES A HAND THAT ISN'T IMPORTANT]

He also said he was curious because Blue mentioned that you and I want the same thing, but we're going about it using different methods.

[which is honestly true to life before the mansion so like, that checks out]

[miscakes]

Because?

[It's important to him, Akira. You kabedon'd him over this shit.]

The only thing I'm planning is to crush this house after we have secured our escape route. What I lack are the means. Isn't it the same for you? [Like, that is still honestly true to life. Hm.] What I don't understand is why he felt the need to run to you.

[survivaltricks]

After we've saved Blue and the other ghosts who are stuck here, too.

[so yeah, it is the same!! with that one small difference, he supposes]

[. . .]

[annnnd as for the "because"—]

He came to me first because. . . we're close.

[that's it that's what Ken said]

[miscakes]

Who do you think the escape route is for?

[BINCH. He wants to do the right thing, too. Kind of. Sort of. Probably. He is very bad at it but fuck the house.

He crosses his arms, making a face.]

... Well, I suppose you two speak more often than I speak to Amada-kun.

[Akira didn't specify which "we"...]

[survivaltricks]

[well. Akira nods at that, a little. . . pleased? that's right do the right thing Akechi]

No, doofus. He meant you and I. He asked me first because he said you and I are close.

[miscakes]

[...]

I see.

[... That's it. That's all he has to say about that. Thank you for making the concept of "being close" awkward two days ago, Akira Kurusu.

Leans... against the wall.........]

So what you mean to say is that he told you one thing, and you decided to overreact.

[survivaltricks]

[you're welcome, Akechi Goro]

No. That was payback for when you cornered me last week.

[har har]

I was actually wondering if you had shared something with him; that's all. But it sounds like he's just assuming you've always got something planned.

[miscakes]

[GIVING HIM AN UNIMPRESSED LOOK.]

You would know if I had something planned. Or have you forgotten the terms of our deal once again?

[survivaltricks]

I haven't forgotten.

[holds up one hand, palm facing forward, since the other is still clutching his crutch]

I'm not doubting you.

[miscakes]

[... Raises an eyebrow at him. Don't ask how that works on his uncanny valley face right now. It just does.]

This entire conversation started because you doubted me.

[survivaltricks]

It started because Ken said something strange and I thought I missed something.

[is that the same as doubt I don't think so!!!]

[miscakes]

[It absolutely is, and Akechi's face says so. :/]

Is that all you had to say?

[survivaltricks]

[:/!!]

No.

[it is true it isn't I promise this thread isn't just Akira kabedoning him based on a miscommunication]

. . .

Can you still eat and drink?

[miscakes]

[............ Please stop reminding him he's a literal puppet now, ffs.]

I don't know. [CURTLY.] I haven't tried. Does it matter?

[The answer is yes he can, but his mouth situation is currently freaking him out. It's fine.]

[survivaltricks]

Yes, because I was going to offer to make you lunch.

[he has only made curry ONCE since being here and that's a crime]

[miscakes]

[..................

Will he brave the mouth situation for food he doesn't have to make himself? Maybe so.]

... I suppose we can find out, as long as you handle all the cooking yourself.

[Akechi, please learn how to cook.]

[survivaltricks]

[Akechi]

Mooch.

[but that was, like. the entire point of asking. TO THE KITCHEN THEY GO]

[miscakes]

[Sweetly:]

You offered.

[Feed! Him! Off to the kitchen they go.]

[survivaltricks]

Mmm. I did.

[and that is all he says to that. once they make it to the kitchen, he rests his crutch against the counter and begins to putter about collecting ingredients. look at him!! walking on his prosthetic without help!! he is wobbly tho, but. progress]

[miscakes]

[Progress...! Akechi is a mooch, though, so don't mind him as he leans against one of the stoves and watches him. It doesn't take him long before he breaks the silence.]

By the way, do you know what items or rewards everyone else received?

[survivaltricks]

[Akira responds without looking up from his work. right now he's just chopping some veggies. look at that impressive knife action]

For this week only? I don't. I haven't asked anyone else if they got a reward or not.

Are you trying to keep inventory?

[miscakes]

For all weeks. It will spare us a lot of grief if we know what each person is hiding up their sleeve.

[Fine. :/ Nice knife skills. After a beat, he also adds:]

Someone took Phoenix's flute before I could speak to Hunter. I want to know who that was.

[He's salty.]

[survivaltricks]

[. . . well. he looks up at Akechi at that, brows furrowed]

Did they take it from Hunter without him knowing? And what does the flute do, exactly?

[miscakes]

[There's a scoff as he crosses his arms, obviously annoyed.]

No, Hunter willingly handed it over. But he promised [disdainfully] not to tell. So now, there is someone in this house who has an item that will allow them to stay awake past midnight on Fridays.
