[it's covered in blood. no, it's just glittery slime that's soaked into his clothes and not coming off easily.]

What, am I the only one who tried it?

[sengokus]

Dunno. I tried the door a few times - but I couldn't get as rough as I wanted.

[he couldn't shoot the fucking door]

Anyone else with you in the room?

[enfangs]

[he scowls as he struggles a bit with trying to get the slime out out of his shirt.]

A lot of people. 'Sides me and Grace, Endorsi, Aoi... uh, Frankenstein, Scar, and Makeup.

[is it

obvious white did not bother to learn a lot of people's names]

[sengokus]

[ . . . . . he pinches his nose and tries to think. someone said that white was stupider than mineo and mineo didn't buy it until now.]

Mahito-san... was Scar-san in a suit or was it the hole in his head.... Harrowhark-san?

[enfangs]

Huh? Nah, not Harrow.

[you can tell how much white talks to someone based on whether or not he remembers their name.]

Scar was a guy in a suit. All stuck-up?

[sengokus]

.... who the hell is Makeup-san...

[WHITE,,]

.... Starphase-san...? I haven't talked to him.

But that is a lot of you - and they didn't try to help you with the door?

[or are they also slimed up]

[enfangs]

Makeup's like... tall? Taller than Frankenstein. Mahito. Whatever.

And they fucking did not.

[white suffered a lot last night.]

[sengokus]

Sey...mour...-san?

[SOMEONE ELSE MINEO HASN'T TALKED TO BUT HE AT LEAST TRIES TO REMEMBER PROFILES

anyway

he's just going to sigh at that]

.... but I haven't found anyone who can account for where Suoh-san was last night.

[enfangs]

[white has not even read the profiles.]

Yeah? What'd his roommate say?

[sengokus]

That was Mahito-san, who was with you.

[he won't blame white too much for that one though - mineo probably looked over the rooms recently to try to figure out who to question]

So that's just more question marks. So far all I've got is figuring out places Suoh-san wasn't.

[enfangs]

[figuring that he's gotten about as much slime as he can pre-laundry, white steps out of the tub and sits on the edge.]

Putting those detective skills to work, huh? So what's the verdict so far?

[sengokus]

[he

bristles]

.... I'm not—

[ . . . .

he lets it go.]

Not the Rec Room, the Simulation Room, the Planetarium, or Common Room.

Are you asking me just to ask, or do you wanna find out what happened to him?

[enfangs]

Hey, if we're getting shanked around here, it's in my best interests to know who did it.

[sengokus]

And then what?

You stab them back before they can get you?

[enfangs]

If they're still a threat? Yeah. Sorry we don't all live in societies where you can just lock up your enemies and forget about 'em.

[sengokus]

Hey.

[he snaps - quick and irritated.]

Don't just assume you know what my response is gonna be.

[enfangs]

Yeah?

[he snaps back, sounding just as irritated.]

Then what was it gonna be?

[sengokus]

Not some bullshit!

[well maybe some bullshit]

You think I'd just let people get hurt for the sake of some ideal in a place that doesn't even have laws? I'm not trying to die here either, you know!

[enfangs]

[a scoff]

And what right do you have to be mad at me? You're the one who immediately decided I'd kill them—and sure, you weren't wrong, but it looks like I'm not the only who makes assumptions about people.

[sengokus]

I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at—

[fucking everything.]

I didn't decide. I asked.

[enfangs]

Sure sounded like a question that already expected a specific answer.

[he shrugs.]

... Well, whatever.

[not like he doesn't have it coming, anyway.]

[sengokus]

[ . . . . . . . . . . . fuck.

mineo backs off but - there's a frown set on his lips. like he knows that he said something rude, something that probably set white off but.

does he even have room to make someone else feel better right now, or will he only make it worse?]

I don't think you're wrong - to have that reaction, and think the way you do.

I just -

... I'd rather know, than not see something coming.

[enfangs]

[he knows it's hypocritical of him. he's the one who paints himself as violent, unforgiving. anything less is a kneejerk insult. he has no right to feel bitter whenever people buy into that image.

"is it even possible for things like demans to not harm humans? hm?"

he glances at mineo, before looking away again.]

... I'm not looking for understanding or whatever. That just makes you sound fucking patronizing.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he just huffs.]

Even if you're not looking for it, it doesn't change that I'm trying, alright? And maybe I'm fucking that up today, too.

[if he's coming off as patronizing]

But it's not like -

[ . . . . ]

I don't assume you're evil. [that he's a monster] I'm just tired of feeling like I'm blind to people. [because he thinks too well of them.] I'm not trying to see you as a saint either.

[enfangs]

[...

white manages to bite back his first response, though less because of its cruelty and more because he's afraid of how things would change if he said it. maybe don't call people your friend if you don't think you understand them.]

Don't think I've been anything but pretty straightforward.
