Paints a really bad picture of last week... but I was also wondering a little if the drum couldn't work the opposite way too. Try to stop someone from murdering after being possessed by the moon, maybe.
[ Is he being too hopeful for that to be the case? ]
Long enough for the person to be restrained, or taken to jail maybe...? [ ... ] You'd have an hour, at least. Unless it counted "not killing" as an instant condition completion, once you stopped trying to kill them.
[ ... she'd like it if it worked that way. but she's just not sure. ] But-- is moon possession a thing? This was the first I'd heard of it.
Remember when we hacked into the police station, and found records of there being mass arrests on the previous full moon due to people suddenly wreaking havoc?
I don't know about strictly "possession", but we know the moon can potentially cause some kind of lunacy effect.
Like an influence. The moons about to become a blood moon, isn’t it? [ … ] But it isn’t quite there yet, is it? The paper said waxing gibbous, so almost but not quite.
[ …
after today, she is tired. and so tired of the moon. ]
I feel fine, but I can't say it's not impossible for a Thursday. We already know it could exert some level of influence over people, even if it was through indirect methods.
[ i think i meant friday, the friday paper but i don't know anything anymore. ]
...
Whatever happened, it complicated things so much. If the cards were representative of Fox's team, then maybe all of them were true to an extent. Well, minus one. They said someone was lying, so maybe... not all of them?
...Either way, it wasn't funny. Making a game out of it is just...
[ He doesn't get mad very often but something about today was personal. ]
It's not going to help either of us to keep trying to think about it and what part of the puzzle was right or wrong. We got our result whether we like it or not, and as much as it also feels wrong, it'll also hopefully... when they come back.
[ He had to take a moment on how he should phrase it. Hopefully mean nothing? Undo seven weeks of loss and suffering? He can't write it off as easily as 'they're back now', but it's better than them not coming back. Either way, he has to stay focused. ]
... Saya mentioned a puzzle curse early into the trial. I'd never heard of it before.
[ ... ] I wonder if that had something to do with it. I'm not excusing it, we didn't need there to be a puzzle on top of everything else but it would explain why there was one.
[ she sighs. ]
It's going to be weird. I don't know exactly know how people will react -- there's bound to be some people here who have killed and haven't been caught or killed since then, right? [ she looks thoughtful. ] I don't know how you talk that out. I want it to be over though, to have everyone back.
[ they can work it all out when it happens, it's just... getting everyone back that matters for now. ]
[ Too many weird mentally or physically altering factors. No regular case in Tokyo would be like this, and he lives in a world where there was, at a point, a serial murdering case that involved literal bodyswaps. The mg chaos standards are so high. ]
Yeah. It's kind of made that way, given we can only vote out one person, and we've had two victims at least on a weekly basis. Granted, sure, we've had a lot of cases where the killed and killer end up being involved in the same place, but...
[ Yeah, it's going to be kind of weird when everyone starts admitting to things, actually. Or at least throwing accusations around. They have a moon to eat or something. ]
[ ryuki and tama just 🧍as all the murder is revealed. tama pauses to throttle whoever killed satan. WHEN YOUR MG CASES ARE MORE WILD THAN THE CYCLOPS KILLER CASES. ]
Ugh is right. All the death is bad enough, but having curses involved too makes it feel worse somehow…
[ she sighs. ]
There’s been more crossover than I expected, yeah. Maybe because of the nature of what we had to do, but— it still feels strange.
[ she is going to
just get all up in his personal space. let her be quietly sad for a moment until tomorrow when britt gets cucked. ]
[ this is so ominous lowe i’m scared (“they said it’s funny”) i’m scared
listen if it means he stops glitching erratically she will drape herself over him like a blanket if she has to. instead she’s going to give his arm a tug. ]
So take one. Maybe not a long one but… a nap at least. [ she can do the ‘draping over him like a cat a blanket a cat blanket’ thing while cosy on a couch too. ]
But no really I think it's funny. Also yeah wouldn't it be funny if I killed and never told you, but also realistically Ryuki would not be able to keep it under wraps from anybody let alone Tama so. The guilt would kill him first. ]
I mean, you know... in Tokyo.
[ Just call Boss for a rare day off, crawl right under his thousand-count duvet, and just forget about everything for a little while. ]
me still here like what did baby boy do even if it wasn’t murder. ]
… Give it… a week? About a week, and then I’ll nag boss something chronic until she lets you go on vacation. I’ll disable her fan group access if I have to.
[ it’s funny because she doesn’t know the ending of aini yet
… she’s still tugging his sleeve though. nap now is also good. ]
[ He's just raising a slight brow like yes? What do you want? ]
It doesn't need to be a whole vacation, just... at least a full day.
[ Workaholics Anonymous, among other things. Well, it's not like his job is stressful currently anyway, not for another 2 days presuming that time has stopped back home. Two days of sleep and then right back to the case for five days of hell, but honestly what's five days after six years plus two months of This. ]

This is fine also. He's gotten used to her being all up in his space and it's also kind of hard to kind when she's usually in his literal head.
