week 3, saturday

[bakaomi]

[ it's after the trial and taka just

drags himself to their room

and collapses on the ground

it's fine ]

[usogi]

[ . . . .senri isn't even

going to try to bring them to the bed

he's just going to carry all the blankets he's ever stolen ever

and put them on top of them as he curls on top of taka and buries his face in his chest]

[bakaomi]

[ it's fine

this is fine

... ]

...

[usogi]

[is it fine]

.....

I think.... Hector-san might've done it.....

[bakaomi]

Why...?

[ it seems likely, but he just wants to hear the thought process.

logic may make him feel better. ]

[usogi]

[and senri will wrap his arms around taka as he tries to think it out]

... Hector-san was with Ruin. But they said that he had a soft spot for the competitors who were younger... I think we could tell that Fortune was young, at least. Our age.

If it was for a favor... maybe Ruin could've told him that he had to kill Fortune - since I think of all the gods, Ruin would be the most alright with removing one of them from the game since it'd mean less competition or someone who could take followers from her.

But... I don't know what happened to Hector-san after that....

[bakaomi]

I dunno...

[ ... ]

It still leaves the handprint.

[usogi]

[ . . . and senri will just sigh.]

Maybe that was a different murder....

But if it wasn't - I think it's Nonon-san. Or Catra.

[bakaomi]

... mm.

[ of course senri would, but takaomi won't say anything about that. ]

Are you okay?

[usogi]

[ . . . and he shakes his head quietly.]

To be a 'great actor' like Dizzy said.....

How come I can't see through someone else's performance?

[bakaomi]

Because people are stupid and complicated, and just because you're good at lying doesn't mean you're good at catching them from others.

[usogi]

[ . . . . and senri sighs before pressing his face into taka's shoulder]

... I'll be extra careful this coming week anyway. I'll let you know if I find anything - or anyone.

[bakaomi]

... same here.

[ granted senri is!! more likely to get info out of people but ]

[usogi]

[ . . . and he pauses to crawl on top of taka properly, and then he'll lean down to press their lips together, soft and tentative]

... partners.

[bakaomi]

Even if everyone thinks you're dating Sasuke now.

[ it comes out a little weakly, like he still isn't quite up to making jokes. ]

[usogi]

... that's the joke you made last time isn't it....

[taka really predicted this damn prophecy

but senri will just softly kiss both his cheeks anyway]

... what are you feeling?

[bakaomi]

... I really did fuck this up...

[ he was scared that it was fortune, and then it

was her. ]

[usogi]

[ . . . and senri will just adjust his weight, moving so that he can run his fingers through taka's hair]

..... it's not your fault.

I know that you... feel these sorts of things really intensely but... it's not.

[bakaomi]

... they spent so much time trying to figure out how she fell, and I could have just told them.

They struggled at the top, she went over the side and hit different parts of the ride as she went down. And then she grabbed onto something, but then she lost her grip and fell to the ground.

[usogi]

[and senri shakes his head]

Mizuki-san got it. When there was plenty of time left - and Ray-kun figured it out too. You didn't have to tell them. You didn't have to put yourself in danger like that.

[ . . . ]

Merriment wasn't on the list this week - but we don't know about next. It wasn't a bad idea....

[bakaomi]

... Ishikirimaru told Mizuki. Not my involvement, but just what we saw.

[ ray is just a fucking gremlin ]

[usogi]

[ . . . and senri just sighs and holds taka closer.]

Then it's fine....

You don't need to be the one to do it. If Ishirin-san is volunteering....

[bakaomi]

I need to stop at least one.

Or... see who it is, or-- something. Make it there in time so they don't die alone, or--

[ he lets out a breath ]

Something.

[usogi]

[ . . . ]

I know what you mean. And I.... I'll support you, however you need me to support you.

.... but please be careful....

I don't - if something happened to you...

[bakaomi]

...

[ he leans over to kiss him again. ]
