Haha. I like your style. [ straightforward is smart, actually? he's going to be doing that, too from now on.... ] I just turned one in, so I might get back to you on that. It was... weird, but it wasn't that bad.
[ and yeah. POOR MANDI. how he suffers. ] Poor dude. I guess that's kinda the point of these, right? If they're not that bad, most of them are just embarrassing. One of mine was "hug someone for too long".
Keep me updated. I'm still waiting on my next one, too. [ and then since ichiro shares that, yamato will share his own secret; ] Remember when the kitchen got wrapped up in Christmas paper? That was me. I had that one. I ruined my own life.
[ MAYBE FOUR PEOPLE USE THE KITCHEN AND HE'S ONE OF THEM ]
[ the fACE he makes because who else is one of the four people that uses the kitchen but ichiro. he winces, but it's at least good natured complaining, as he gives him a playful nudge with his shoulder. ]
It's mostly just harmless pranks, I guess. Mostly.
Don't "dude" me, I was one of the people who had to unwrap it anyway. [ dry. he sounds so tired. and speaking of tired: ] There's some really messed up ones hanging around, too. That's part of why I keep telling people... if they need it, I'll help them find a way to make them work without hurting anyone.
... Caiman had "frame someone for murder". [ quietly, looking away. there's some complicated feelings there! all things considered!!! ] That's why a lot of us were so sure he wasn't responsible for Sieghart, since he still had it.
I learned he was the one who had it pretty late. Back when Caleb thought he might have had something to do with Molly. [ there's a pause before he shakes his head, apparently clearing out his feelings with it as a bonus: ] It doesn't say it has to be the murder of a person or a successful one. Probably could've sent it in with something stupid, like... framing someone for the murder of a toy or accusing them of attempting to strangle a cow.
[ he has spent a lot of time trying to make these work and he means it ]
[ nodding... yeah, he hates that! just from having known about the extra credit - there's nothing more frustrating than the terms and conditions of this stupid place, so far. ]
That's true. I like it - trying to find way around shit with the wording, 's clever. Anything we can do to try and avoid people getting hurt, you know? Especially with those notes that showed up in our lockers on Monday.
Some of them are harder than others. I know - I tried to do what I could on my rough one, and I picked someone who I knew who could take it but... even though the vouchers help the dorm head, it sure as shit doesn't make me feel good hurting anyone else.
Yeah. [ that's all he can think to say to that, because he is trying so hard to make sure people don't get hurt. so, so hard. and yet!! anyway, there's a pause as he leans a little, clearly curious ] What was your rough one, anyway?
[ BOTH OF THEM PUNCHING DEAD PEOPLE. awful. ] I figured, at least make it fair, you know? Crow hits hard as shit. I'd really rather just be honest and tell people up front what the hell's going on with these, but, y'know.
[ people are supposed to LIE in murdergames and ichiro hates lying so here we are ]
In my defense, Bradley really did deserve that punch. [ it's light, but he also hates a lot? he's not a good liar and doesn't enjoy it either!!! it's not great!! ] ... At least it was just punching. And by now some of these are more....obvious.
[ there's a brief pause, there, and his emotions shift a little bit - into worry, but a low, unhappy anger too. like the hackles rising on a dog. ]
... Hope had a really fucked up one. Scared the shit out of me. It makes me wonder how many of those ones go out - and... if they're just gonna get worse.
Yeah. [ he grimaces, angry-- ] I think I got it in his head to ask for help next time, at least. But stuff like that... sometimes it's hard to think of when you're on your own and freaked out.
... yeah. Not that it makes it easy. [ he stares at him clenched fists for a second, clearly. uh. pissed ] How are we supposed to look after people when they keep vanishing and getting hurt, or when ... they're being made to act against their will?

he raises an eyebrow, lolling his head to look over at yamato, a little thoughtful. ] You wanna give me an example? Doesn't have to have names.

...yeah. I heard about that. [ .... ] I thought maybe he didn't submit it, if his memory was fucked, but he just didn't do it.
Were you gonna help him with that somehow...?

That was why we both had black eyes a couple weeks ago, cause he got me right back.

I was the one who found him. I watched him fall, man. It was - it scared the shit out of me.
[ he hates thinking about it, even now. there's a twist to his emotions, anger and a little fear, too. ]
Yeah. We gotta keep looking out for people the best we can, as much as we can. I think that's the best we can do until we crack this whole place.
