[?

he moves closer so that he can get a look.]

... What the fuck?

[sengokus]

[ . . . . his brow furrows at that and he rotates his arm.]

That - wasn't there. And I wasn't awake.

[just. to reaffirm that. but he'll check his other arm and there is indeed more scarring too.]

[enfangs]

Did someone slash you in your sleep, or something...?

[though after a beat, he rolls up his sleeve to bare his arm, similarly scarred.]

[sengokus]

[his brow furrows at that and - he pauses before looking around the room]

... check the room with me? Let's see if there's anything else to find.

[enfangs]

Don't see anything... but sure.

[he starts walking around.]

[sengokus]

[mineo will also start walking around, checking the walls for phantom paw prints that are no longer there, and then after a bit - ]

.... I wonder if these are our hints.

[the scarring]

[enfangs]

... What the hell is this supposed to tell us? A hint about Mahito, or...?

[sengokus]

... well, he's not the only one with scars.

[if he's being honest.]

I have some too. Gu-san, Childe-san.... [there's a couple of warriors here?] ... but we can double-check tomorrow for a full list.

[enfangs]

He was the only one going around looking like Frankenstein, though. [he holds up a hand to where his head scar is.] But guess we'll see.

[sengokus]

Between this and the paw prints... I dunno. We can check the dog park tomorrow, but I wonder if it just means this is related to Eleanor-san's death.

[enfangs]

Like with the toblerone thing? Maybe.

Though that might not help much tomorrow, especially when we've got three bodies to deal with.

[sengokus]

[ . . . ]

We're gonna have to work quick, and stay on task.

[enfangs]

Yeah, we're all gonna have a tough time with that. [...] Three bodies isn't great odds for us... but at least there's probably more than one killer—though that might actually not be a good thing.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . ]

I wouldn't be surprised if someone just - acted again after we couldn't catch them before.

[enfangs]

Maybe. Get away with murder enough and it tends to make you confident.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he just. manages a bit of a bitter sigh.]

.... then we have to try to make sure that they don't get away this time - as much as we can.

[enfangs]

Mm.

[he watches mineo for a bit, before:]

... Any leads on the whole motive for killing besides indulgence thing?

[sengokus]

... no. Apparently if someone talked to the robot or Fukuda-san, we might've had a lead but - nothing, so far. I don't even know why Fukuda-san but...

[what a weird fucking place they're in]

But... Sloth-san told me that maybe if we find a new killer, we'd catch an old one, instead of just fixating on past cases, so...

[enfangs]

[he runs a hand through his hair.]

Basically, "tough luck but also good luck", huh? Well, we'll see how things go.

[maybe they'll catch yet another independent killer/attempted killer, third time's the charm]

[sengokus]

That's pretty much what Sloth-san always says.

[deeply supportive and encouraging but phew unsure if it's helpful. he'll just move to exit the planetarium then]

Gonna do rounds to see if I catch anything - wanna come?

[enfangs]

Yeah, pretty much.

[he'll follow mineo out, which is a "sure".]

Think we're gonna deal with more curses tomorrow? I'll punch you if you get thrown off, if you want.

[this is

white being nice]

[sengokus]

Yeah, do that.

[he

agrees so easily?????]

[enfangs]

[mineo.........]

Cool, glad we have that agreed on.

[sengokus]

[he's just going to nod and - honestly he's going to be in investigation mode? as they go through all the rooms, he'll just point stuff out for white to help him with, at least up until they make it to the opium den and

mineo is going to try to open the door and

fail.]

... huh?

[enfangs]

[white does as he says like a good assistant with zero braincells

...]

Is it locked or something?
