week 5, wednesday

[ninjay]

[ in the late evening, jay is going to summon the scooby gang to all meet up in room 112. shit has gone down?

as soon as the door locks behind them, he will waste no time before just getting to the point. ]

Andersen told everyone about our plan.

Comments

[nowyouseeit]

[drops his fist from the wall, keeping his fingers curled tightly at his side, knuckles white]

Are you gonna talk to him separately, then?

[thawedheart]

[She nods.]

...you're furious, Kaito-san. I don't think showing up angry will make it a very productive conversation. And even before... he told everyone, he didn't seem to like Jay-san much.

I'm angry too, but... I have a lot of practice ignoring it.

[nowyouseeit]

[inhale, exhale. . .]

I do too.

[but his poker face doesn't handle anger as well as it does other emotions]

Are you sure, though? Because I'm willing to go with you.

[even though he might punch Andersen if he does]

[thawedheart]

I'm sure. I can do this much, at least.

[And to be honest? She'll bring her scalpel, just in case she has to defend herself.]

...I'll be sure to tell you what I've learned first thing tomorrow morning.

[nowyouseeit]

. . . okay.

[Yukina :( one of his only friends]

Be careful, Yukina.

[thawedheart]

I will be.

[She reaches for one of his hands and squeezes it lightly.]

...this has gotten a little more difficult, but we'll make it through. One way or another, we will save everyone.

[nowyouseeit]

[glances down at their enjoined hands, before he tightens his fingers around hers]

. . . we will.

It might be harder than we thought, but. . . we will.

[there is no other option]

[thawedheart]

[Jay get your butt over here, Kaito and Yukina each have a free hand.]

...we promised, after all. We'll see this through.

[ninjay]

[ there's a slight hesitation, but jay will join the two of them. girge and tsurugi can keep all comments to themselves. ]

It really was a pleasure working with you.

[nowyouseeit]

[grabs Jay's hand next, holding it tightly]

. . . likewise.

I couldn't ask for better allies.

[thawedheart]

...it still is.

[Her grip on both their hands is firm.]

This is not over yet.

[ninjay]

[ it's probably over for them though.

he just squeezes their hands and says nothing. ]

[nowyouseeit]

[look!! maybe the power of friendship will. save us??]

[maybe]

[disinterested]

[It's okay, Girge is too busy dealing with maggot hallucinations and being bitter over Andersen to care about you three.]

[ninjay]

[ thanks, step-bro ]
