week 3, saturday

[ninjay]

[ a little while after the trial ends on saturday, jay can be found walking around the motel. he's not in a good mood considering how everyone ended up fighting each other for most of the trial, and even though they finally caught the ghost, jay can't really say he's proud of how they all handled it.

so, while walking, he bumps into knoll! who is... somewhere around i guess, you can pick. ]

Comments

[ninjay]

I wonder how though... Just by going with our usual routine, nothing will happen. If Mira was right about one thing, it's that.

[ jay does not agree with anything else she said though, and his tone says as much. ]

[rextenebrae]

We merely need to continue looking for answers. 'Therein one's search for an answer, they may come upon a solution to the entirety of their problems...as long as they don't lose their desire to know...'

[ He smiles wryly. ]

Of course, I can understand how what I say may not be satisfactory, but...it's the only way we can find a way to stop what she says will keep going on.

[ninjay]

I don't find a lot of things satisfactory here, so that's not very new or shocking.

[ he mostly sounds tired. or maybe he's so irritated it's making him tired. ]

[rextenebrae]

[ He'll nod. ]

It'd be a surprise if many would...

[ He's definitely just tired himself by this point. ]

[ninjay]

Do you think Kamui was working with them, or was he just fueled by an incentive?

[rextenebrae]

I don't believe Kamui was working with them.

[ ... ]

I spoke to him and he worked alone, from beginning to end. He simply wished to see what Vincent's pain tolerance really was, and that was it.

[ninjay]

I would say that's a relief, but that's just a different kind of horrific.

[it makes sense though. vincent's body was pretty beat up. ]

I suppose the only way to find out for sure is to catch them.

[rextenebrae]

[ Knoll releases a soft sigh. It really was; he has a hard time understanding people like that even if they do give their reasons. ]

Yes. I can only hope we repeat our previous successes, as I know for sure that it will only continue to be an uphill battle of sorts.

[ He hadn't even been sure they could catch Mira, but that was another thing entirely. ]

[ninjay]

I would prefer if we could start solving those things without waiting for hints.

[ it'll be nice to know they can solve murders by skill alone and not playing hangman, honestly. he still can't believe that happened. ]

[rextenebrae]

We've solved some things before without hints, so it is plausible. But, in the end... I suppose only time will tell.

[ Something about playing hangman in a trial was grimly amusing, though Knoll will do them both a favor and hold his tongue. ]
