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?

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.
