[So presumably the KHers will vacate the truck at some point--Leo, though, will catch Sei's arm before she can go after them, and shake his head slightly if she tries to ask. He waits until Sora and Kairi have run off, probably to go try and hunt down Riku's killer because they don't know it's Anna. I support them.

So does Leo, actually, but that's not the point. Once they're alone, he'll let her go and sigh. Their stupid fight yesterday is clearly totally forgotten, and he's 100% serious now.]

We'll need to keep an eye on them. [Both of them, but especially Sora, he thinks.] I'm worried they'll try to do something reckless.

[zuihitsu]

[ She does have a questioning look when he grabs her. Fights are fleeting and effervescent for Sei, who chooses to focus on the better and brighter things.

Death doesn't usher in much lightness, but she nods. She gets what he's saying, but... ]

You can't blame theme for that. Grief is too powerful.

[adlucem]

I know. [God, does he know. It's not so much that he wants to prevent them from getting answers, or seeking revenge, or whatever their plan is, it's just...] But I don't want them to get hurt.

[Riku is dead. But if they're as alike as Leo thinks they--were, then he'd be devastated if anything happened to them because of him. He can't just sit back and let that happen.]

I won't ask them to step back. But I would like to try and learn what's happening here. [If they figured it out first, then they can deal with it, so Sora and Kairi don't have to.]

[zuihitsu]

You're nicer than you wanna see, huh, Leoleo.

[ It's been harder and harder to maintain her brightness with so much murder in such a short amount of time, with such unknown circumstances and everything else, but... that shouldn't stop any of them.

She slaps her cheeks. ]

Yeah! We gotta keep movin' and groovin'. Can't let this get us down because we gotta get to the bottom of this. [ For everyone. Or just the KHs if you're Leo. ] I don't know much, but some people lost their chill.

[ See: all the murder. ]

Leoleo, have you hit the cash register?

[adlucem]

[He doesn't acknowledge the first part because--well, yeah, that's kind of been the whole point. He's very intentional about his solitude, but things have changed.]

No, I haven't. Why?

[zuihitsu]

Well, you see, I think it could give at least a little clue about what's goin' on? Or, like, I dunno all the kind of things it asks people to do, but I know you can get something from it.

[ She gestures in the direction of wherever the cash register is. ]

Wanna check it out?

[adlucem]

[Well, if she has an idea, he won't say no. He's generally not stupid enough to go touching random things, but needs must, so whatever. He nods--god help them if Sora's announcement comes while they're doing this, lord.

But while they're walking:]

The... things it asks people to do?

[zuihitsu]

Mm, yeah. Like a task? If I had to describe it. If it's something I can help with, lemme know, 'kay?

[ Wouldn't it be funny if they hear Sora right after Leo hits the cash register? ]

[adlucem]

Who else do you know that hit it?

[GOD!!! Anyway once they get here I guess he is. Hitting the cash register as hard as he can. It's probably not broken, thankfully? And now we wait.]

w1 saturday

[zuihitsu]

Leoleo!

[ Wherever he is. Whatever he's doing. She's calling out to him immediately. ]

What do you think?

[adlucem]

[He's heading off to the convenience store! He is walking very fast on his short little legs, a tight grip on Elliot's sword.]

...I knew it didn't add up. I didn't vote for him. [He probably wouldn't have even if he believed Shi Wudu was guilty, because he would've wanted to interrogate him further and he doesn't like leaving things up to chance? But it's too late now.] But other than that... I'm not so sure.

[zuihitsu]

I dunno. I didn't vote for him, too. Both Tororin and Rikki had a lot of things in common.

[ She can connect that much but beyond that... ]

What do you think will happen tomorrow?

[adlucem]

[Who the fuck is Tororin--oh the birdman, probably. Right.]

I don't know. [He doesn't much care, actually, but hold that thought, because he pauses to look at her.] Why didn't you use your clue?

[zuihitsu]

It needed Iris' gun first. And I told Soracchi and Kai-nyan they had first dibs, if they wanted it.

[ she was just waiting for them to ask. ]

[adlucem]

[Ah. He sighs, but starts back off towards the store.]

They must've been too distracted.

[He kind of figured that would happen. It's partly why he just did what he wanted, but he's also the type to do that anyway.]

[zuihitsu]

[ she nods. ]

I dunno how much it would've helped when so many of the murders happened in the same place.

[adlucem]

[Mm. Yeah. He looks at his feet as he walks--he's not really storming off anymore, just walking at a normal pace.]

I don't think mine did, either. [So that's fair.]

w2 saturday

[zuihitsu]

[ wherever leo is, here is sei. she just pops up next to him. ]

Leoleo, what'd you try to do to get Soracchi back?

[adlucem]

[Can't they just all forget about that? Why do they have to talk about that.]

Potentially nothing, if Sora really did kill to come back on his own.

[zuihitsu]

[ nope ]

Nope, it was something'! I know it is. You can whisper it if you wanna.

[adlucem]

[SIGH]

I smashed the light in the store.

[zuihitsu]

is that what that was for?

[ Well. ]

Gold star!

[adlucem]

Yes. It told me to fix something, so I did.

[It was simultaneously a frustration outlet and also kind of the best he could do, since he doesn't know shit about how most of the stuff here works.]

I'd expected it to ask me to kill someone.

[zuihitsu]

I wish mine asked me to fix something.

[ She huffs. ]

If it did, were you going to?

[adlucem]

[He's quiet for a minute, but there's no sense in hiding it now.]

Most likely. If it meant preventing Riku or Kairi from getting the same task.
