[ in this house we hate sou sejima. in every house we hate sou sejima. tama does like literally nothing here — you can swear ryuki, call him a dickhead. a c u next tuesday, she supports it. ]
It’s the principle of it though. He hid when he did for years because he had the money and the power to do so. Anyone above the mayor is bound to have the same resources at their disposal.
[ He is pg-13 like 95% of the time. He has not yet sworn in this game. ]
Hiding out to avoid responsibility and ordering hits out on people aren't really the same thing... and, even a mayor with the right connections can do something similar, I think.
[ At least this is a normal conversation. ]
...Anyway, we're police, Tama. If it was anyone's literal job to stop this, it'd be ours.
It's the principle of it. It's... hiding behind something while you manipulate something from the background. This isn't outright ordering a hit, but they're as good as ordering death with the rules they've put in place. That doesn't make them any less miserable.
[ sometimes they do that. ]
It's not like no one's trying, Ryuki. And it's not like I don't feel responsible because of our jobs. We're running around blind right now, and I can't even do my usual and dig into extra information in the way I usually would.
[ she feels... useless. in a way. it's aggravating. ]
[ He loves Tama but he really just puppydogs after Date so bad. For what reason. ]
I'd be out an eye. I value my vision.
[ Which like, sounds nonchalant, but it's also sincere. Even if she was nothing more than his eye, he'd appreciate her. Even if he hates her sex jokes. ]
...Okay.
[ Someone doesn't know the joy of a weighted blanket, wow Tama... ]
[ we will never know. i think having a crush on date is fine as long you acknowledge he’s a pathetic failure of a manslut, but ryuki genuinely idolises this man and for what ]
I knew you were just using me for my superior vision.
[ she absolutely is messing with him. it’s said as she literally links their arms together. ]
Come on. I’m dragging you back to your dorm and we’re taking a nap. Or trying to. And then we can plan. [ and she can hack his phone to tell everyone he’s texting from the fridge while he’s asleep. ]
[ He is being HERDED back to his OWN DORM. Datz is his roommate and he wouldn't kick him out so they can just kind of get pillows and sleep in the living room since Mouse said that's okay. ]

They can't do it, so we'll... we'll be our own investigators.
no subject
We do make a pretty excellent team, you know. I think we can do it.

[ He says this so grimly but like. You know. Real. Except maybe Date but he has nothing on a superpower AI. ]
no subject
Same. So, you’re not allowed to forget that. I’m pretty useless without you, you know? Almost as much as you’d be without me.
[ almost. ]
Try and get some rest. If we’re going to investigate, then we can’t be doing it on three hours of sleep. Even if sleeping is weird and kind of a pain.

[ You gotta admit, that's pre-tty-cool. ]
Wait, are you coming to Gold Mouse again?
no subject
Yup!
I mean, you can come to Goat if you want, but it’s very much a basic dorm style. You have my permission.
[ she has asked no one she just told goat it was happening at some point and they’d have to cope. ]
no subject
[ But like they did lose two mice. Ryuki should probably go back to the dorm so Mouse isn't lonely. ]
Maybe next time?
no subject
[ tugs on their linked arms. ]
Now, come on. I’m not joking about that nap.
