week 6, friday

[preordain]

[ well, wherever the fuck they are.

ryo is just looking at the bicker notif of the death. specifically at the image of the snow. ]

Of course it's in the cold...

[outsidebones]

[hmm.]

...Mephisto is interesting.

[preordain]

[ he glances up. ]

Not sure who would go for him?

[outsidebones]

Quite the contrary.

[she chews at one of her fingernails.]

Out of those who had the potential to have an item that could have been used on Tuuri, he was one of the more plausible options. Though it's impossible to say for sure now, so if that was the reason I will be quite irritated.

[preordain]

Hm, well. We did also think it had to have been someone who didn't care about either Kon or Tuuri.

[ and mephisto does seem like he'd fit those categories... ]

I'd hope the killer actually confirmed it and didn't go on a hunch, if that's what happened.

[outsidebones]

I have to think it would be quite impossible for them to have done so. At least, I see no way they could have.

...Ugh. If you want revenge on someone, at least save it for trial, in case of another octopus situation. It's inconsiderate otherwise.

[preordain]

It's even worse since there's two deaths, so now it's just more work for us.

[ even more places to search... what if a body is missing again... ]

[outsidebones]

Yes. Though more entertaining, I suppose, for Lord Satan.

[preordain]

No offense to Satan-- or full offense, but I'd prefer something more straightforward than the last few weeks.

[outsidebones]

I think he would, too, frankly. Have you ever spoken with him?

[preordain]

Mm. He is way too normal for this place.

[outsidebones]

Yes, my thoughts as well. He actually seemed sad about last week. He said he thought we'd fight like on a television program.

[preordain]

It does make sense why the demons all like him.

[outsidebones]

Yes.

[...]

Will you answer me honestly? Do you care about any of the people who died?

[preordain]

Today?

[ or

in general ]

[outsidebones]

No one cares about those two. In general.

[preordain]

... it depends on your definition of care.

But for the most part, no. Not particularly.

[outsidebones]

I do value your honesty.

[genuinely.]

There's some thought about a way in which to save them, but...if I didn't happen to care, I wouldn't bother to get involved.

[preordain]

[ hm... ]

Do you think that would work? Technically, we aren't even saved. We won't know our own fate until the party.

[outsidebones]

It sounds unlikely. And correct, procuring an invite is no guarantee.

What I've heard is that if we have a convincing enough proposal, there's a chance we could persuade Satan.

[preordain]

[ fascinating... truly unfortunate that he does not care enough to really make this attempt because akira isn't double dead. ]

Does anyone have an idea of what may be a convincing proposal then?

[outsidebones]

[there's still sunday :) ]

Not really. Something appealing to him, that would allow him to save face with the demons that don't want to see leniency.

[preordain]

Well, there's about a week to figure out what that would be.

[outsidebones]

Quite. There is always a risk of this blowing up in our face and costing us our chances, but...

I think it's worth trying to take the chance.

[preordain]

[ he does not think it's worth trying but he is aware that if everyone else is onboard then there is not much he can do about that

when you are surrounded by a bunch of nice people because everyone else who would have been like eh is DEADer ]

We'll see. I don't think Satan would be against the idea, it's just the... red tape.
