[gives Akechi a look at that :/ :/ :/]

No. Not that I know of, anyway. Again, you'd have to ask Ash, since he's the one who has held onto it all this time.

[miscakes]

[Ash...]

It will go better if you ask him. [Fuck Ash.] But, beside that item, there's also your medallion. Do you think we can use it to locate this second entrance?

[survivaltricks]

[stop hating Akira's friends]

Ah-- about that. . .

I used it today to try and find Agni. Beau and Lio, however, might both still have theirs.

[miscakes]

[...

He looks absolutely annoyed at that, but.]

Judging by how calmly you're acting, I assume you didn't find his corpse.

[survivaltricks]

Nope.

[thhhhat said]

But I'm pretty sure he's buried underground somewhere, so I don't. . . know what that'll mean for tomorrow.

[hahaha. ha. ha]

[miscakes]

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

Haha. Hahahaha. Ahahahahahahaha.

Fuck.]

... It means that if Agni-san is dead and our numbers dip below the line by Sunday, I will personally kill Hunter myself.

[survivaltricks]

You will not.

[shooting him a LOOK. not that he thinks Akechi is being serious, but. come on]

Our numbers won't dip below the line. Even if-- even if Agni is dead, then we can still lose one more and still be above half.

[five was the magic number, after all]

[miscakes]

And if we tie? Or, someone decides to take matters into their own hands halfway through tomorrow's trial?

[There are like, so many things that can go wrong.]

The executioner could die from their injuries, as well. One isn't enough. A single mistake will cost us everything.

[survivaltricks]

Nobody's taken matters into their own hands yet, and how many people would be poised to stop them if they tried?

And if you're worried about the executioner, I can lend them my skull, just in case. We also don't know what other items people have floating around that can either prevent or protect against death.

There are so many things that can go wrong, but sometimes you just don't have the luxury of buffer room.

[Akira would know!! the plan he and his thieves used to outsmart Akechi had no buffer room at all!!]

We have to keep doing our best. That's all we can do.

[miscakes]

[YEAH, WELL. AKIRA'S PLAN WAS STUPID!!!

And that shounen rant isn't helping.]

If we fail to find the heart within the next six days, we're all dead. Don't forget that.

[Whatever!! He holds his hand out so Akira can return the letter to him.]

If you find anyone else who received a letter, tell me.

[survivaltricks]

[sets his jaw tightly, expression flickering. but about that, at least. . . Akira is right]

[. . .]

[he hands the letter back to Akechi]

I will.

[since this is pre-Ken he can't bring up Ken's letters but THAT'S FINE he's going to make an announcement about the Sunday meeting tomorrow]

Hopefully everyone will bring them up at the meeting we hold on Sunday.

locks your html mistakes in

[miscakes]

If they don't, then they're fools. Now isn't the time to withhold information.

[...

He says that, but there's something... odd in his expression as he does.

After a beat:]

There's something else I need to show you.

i hate this

[survivaltricks]

[. . . hmmm DON'T LIKE THAT ODD EXPRESSION]

[and in fact, Akira opens his mouth to ask about it, but--]

Yeah? What is it?

[miscakes]

[Opens his mouth to say something.

... Closes it.

And instead, reaches silently for his waistband — before pulling something out.

It's




a gun?

It does not look like a normal gun.]

[survivaltricks]

[what]

[what kind of gun does it look like]

[he blinks at the weapon, before his gaze flickers up, confusion clearly on his features. explain, Akechi]

[miscakes]

[Well. Akira worked with Iwai, so let's say he will recognize this as a tranquilizer gun.

Akechi lifts an eyebrow at him once his gaze flickers up. He's clearly waiting for him to say something first. Come to your own conclusions, you fool.]

[survivaltricks]

[why]

[does Akechi have a tranq gun]

[stop it this is killing me]

[there are about twelve thousand conclusions Akira could come to, sssso. . . he just starts listing them off]

Item received for voting correctly or participating in those bi-weekly games, something you got from the sisters, murder weapon, or--?

[he doesn't yet say what "or" means]

[miscakes]

[AKIRA...

Akechi makes a face at him, like he expected him to be smarter than this. Clearly, a mistake!!]

Or? Finish your sentences, Akira.

[survivaltricks]

[isn't Akechi expecting Akira to have a braincell half of the reason their threads end in fights]

Special privilege?

[i hate this and i hate kyuu and i hate [redacted] and i hate EVERYTHING]

[miscakes]

[It is. Mistakes continue to be made.

At that, though... Akechi smiles!]

Yes.

[He shoves the gun back in its place, tucked away and out of sight.]

After last week, I was sure you had caught on... But, it seems I was wrong to have such high expectations of you.

[survivaltricks]

[hhhhha. Akira folds his arms, his expression carefully guarded. but there's a tiny twitch at the corners of his lips]

. . . I suspected, but I wasn't sure. You were the only other person I knew of who had a phone on them, after all.

[. . .]

Presuming your privileges are similar to Nick's?

[miscakes]

[...

Why would you bring up Phoenix? That makes his smile kind of... wilt a little, but it's fine. He carries on.]

Not similar. Identical. Phoenix-san... was my partner. We're the authors of the strange notes people have received on Wednesdays, and then Tuesdays.

[survivaltricks]

[bitch you wanted to ruin Nick's notebook!!!]

[also this is pre-Luna thread so he CAN'T EVEN BRING HER UP I'M DYING it's fine he's going to bring Akechi up to Luna later]

. . .

So. . . I have to ask.

[his expression is oh-so serious, but the question. . .]









Was the "suck my dick" drawing on this week's note your idea or your other partner's?

[look]

[miscakes]

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

CLOSES HIS EYES.]

Phoenix-san's replacement, actually. I wanted to discard the jokes altogether, but they insisted on defacing the note.

[survivaltricks]

Aha. So the theory about Nick having a replacement was right.

[that is. actually very good to know. a small bit of him relaxes at that, knowing that their helpful Blue compatriots will remain even if one of them dies]

[. . .]

[also this explains a lot about. . .]

. . . Nick knew you a lot better than it seemed in public, then. [a pause] Why is your phone different than his?
