I could have gotten away with it.

[YALL WERE SO BAD HE HATED LISTENING TO EVERY SINGLE PART OF THIS TRIAL.]

[ trial was fucking nuts. they talked about bees for so long. ]

I'm surprised it got narrowed down at all, honestly. The majority of it was everyone floundering.

That's what happens when two people decide to kill at the same time, I guess. Too many things to sort through, as predicted.

[FUCKING CHILDE IS ALAWYS RUINING HIS PLANS GODDAMN.]

And it sounds like there was crossover...? If you didn't kill Childe.

[ why was there so many things in that house. ]

[THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS HE WON'T SAY BUT HE WILL SAY THIS UNTIL HE IS DEAD AGAIN.]

I didn't, and I have no idea what happened there or how whoever was involved ended up in the same damned house. No matter what he's doing, he's always getting in my way and causing problems.

[HE'S DEAD.]

[ help. how did this happen. was this the only house that looked inviting. ]

If Childe died after, maybe the plan was to obscure their evidence with yours...?

[HE ALSO WANTS TO KNOW HOW THIS HAPPENED. HE HATES IT HERE SO BAD.]

It could very well be possible. Whatever they'd left behind wasn't there by the time Chandra and I arrived, at least, so they had to have come after us unless something else is at play.

[Murder magic...]

[ god. it could have really could have just been something dumb like it was just a complete coincidence.

he rubs his temple. ]

I guess you can just ask him later.

[ annoyed... ryo likes basically no one here so it is a bit annoying that one of the very few he does like is going to be double dead. who is he going to be left with. harrow. ]

[FUCKING HARROW help. The goth club is dwindling.]

I will, after I kill him for complicating things yet again.

[Lavi is no longer at the top of his list... Anyway, he gives Ryo a little bit of a look after that. Then, abruptly:]

Did you ever learn what Akira wouldn't tell you?

[ oh. the question surprises him, and it takes him a moment to answer as he thinks it over.

he does smile eventually. ]

Yes. I was right that I don't actually kill Miki, but it's still my fault she dies. It's my fault our entire world ends, basically. I kickstart the apocalypse.

[Gotdam, Ryo's out here doing what he couldn't. There's a little faint hint of a smile in return.]

Most worlds aren't worth preserving, anyway. [He will DIE ON THIS HILL.] You aren't human, correct?

[ theres a nod. ]

I'm not. Admittedly, I thought I was, but the fact that I'm not makes more sense.

[ definitely a 'oh yea that explains things' moment ]

[HELP him really just out there like "oh yeah, huh, makes sense" about this girl help he's so funny. This is why Ryo was his second favorite.]

It's a shame we didn't get to speak a little more about it. I didn't dislike talking to you. I don't dislike you.

[Which is as close to liking someone as he GETS.]

What are your plans?

[ yeah sometimes you're just like i see! wow! and then go end the world

it does feel kind of like a waste. ryo thinks they really should have just scapegoated filbo. ]

As of this point, I'm not sure. I do really want to kill Harrowhark, so I'll think about it.

[ he is still so cursed because of itto. help. ]

[Honestly valid, same hat, would do the same if he had cosmic world-ending powers. Did try to do the same, actually?? also the way he voted for filbo for real

ANYWAY ITTO REALLY DID THIS TO THEM.]

Don't be too hasty.

[ he frowns. ]

It seems like a good idea.

[ truly was barely holding himself back all trial. itto was complaining about a lack of a fist fight but it would have not ended in just a fist fight. ]

[Truly wished Ryo had harpooned Harrow in the middle of a trial in front of god and everyone. She could have matching shoulder wounds with Itto.]

It will likely seem like a less attractive idea if you give it a little more time. [HE. ASSUMES. Imagine if it was a forever pumpkin.]

But in the meantime, I can give you something.

[ as of right now he doubts it'll last forever but it's fine.

he tilts his head at the next comment. ]

What is it?

[IS IT FINE.

Well, yeah, probably. Anyway, he'll reach into his shirt because of course he's hiding like fifty fucking things in here and no one ever checked him. He'll slide out a piece of something, passing it over from between the bars. It's... licorice flavored gum! Gross.]

I'd still suggest saving it, and it's not anything that will sate bloodthirst, but it should be a little amusing. I got it from Chandra. A piece of gum that makes someone ridiculously happy and also a bit stupid for forty-eight hours. Not that it'll make much of a difference for many here, but still.

[ oh. this is so funny, actually. he takes it, giving it a look, before tucking it into his pocket. ]

Still, it could be useful. You never know.

[ right now he's like, i can use it on harrow, unfortunately. on sunday he might still feel the same simply because it's hilarious. ]

[Honestly he thinks Ryo is fair and valid and this is why he is leaving him with a parting gift, this shitpost ability. Be free, freaky man, be free.]

It could be, especially if someone decides to try taking you out. Just be sure to tell at least one other person what it does.

[Though Chandra tried that and the one person he told was fucking Scaramouche so here they are.]

I think it might just be funny to see someone acting out in a trial though, personally.

[ he thinks about telling akira, but also, akira is the most likely to try to kill him so there's a problem here. ]

If no one ends up attacking me, who do you think would be the funniest person to use it on?

[YALL. BLEAK.

He also just laughs.]

Whoever's the exact opposite of blindingly happy and somewhat stupid, most likely.

[Just say Harrow.]

Oh. Harrowhark.

[ yeah he'll just say it ]

I don't think she'd be a bad choice.

[He's lashing out in no particular direction for being handheld cursed literal weeks ago.]
