Week 0: Friday

[applechemist]

[ Good news, Escha isn't holding a bloody knife anymore! But she remembers what Kagachi said before, about how maybe they're supposed to fight, so. Even though she looks a little shaky, she's approaching him.

But, uh, probably better to start light! Start with small talk! Like you do when people have been... Murdered..... Hrm.]

How are you doing?

[preceptive]

[escha tried.]

I'll manage. I'm used to this kind of thing.

[not that he looks happy.]

You?

[applechemist]

[ Oh no that's sad. ]

Used to it...? That sounds horrible. I'm not used to it at all.

[preceptive]

Dealing with murders comes with the line of work.

Week 0: Saturday

[applechemist]

We were really in a pinch, but you came in right at the end, and you were right...!

[ She's impressed!! ]

[preceptive]

[escha is so pure?]

To be honest, I wasn't completely sure.

[so thank god he was right and didn't have to live with the guilt of condemning someone innocent maybe.]

[applechemist]

None of us were. I didn't want to think she would do it... She seemed so friendly.

[ Sure that's a word for it. ]

It's not like we should say things lightly, but at the same time, it does have to be this big group conversation, so... It's not wrong to throw theories out to everyone. I think. [ She actually sounds pretty uncertain, but wanting to comfort someone won out over expressing Vague Despair™. ]

[preceptive]

There's a lot of things a person can hide behind a smile.

[cheery!]

It's going to get harder for everyone. You saw how things went—there's a lot of dissenting opinions on pretty significant matters.

Week 1: Wednesday

[preceptive]

[hi, escha. kagachi's going to be looking for her in the morning.]

I need to talk to you for a sec.

[applechemist]

Oh, Kagachi. What is it?

[preceptive]

[...]

You get along with your roommates, right?

[applechemist]

Yes, very well! To be honest, I feel lucky to be roomed with them both, even if it's crowded.

Week 1: Saturday post trial

[applechemist]

[ Hey Kagachi, apparently Escha thinks they're on friendly enough terms that she can just. Walk up and strike up conversation in times like this? Right after the big stressful things??? It's fine. ]

I never would have expected she could do that... I didn't think Katy could either, but...

[preceptive]

[it's fine!]

It was the demon.

[applechemist]

... So the demon can act really well.

[preceptive]

There wouldn't be a point in hiding among us if it couldn't.

Week 2: Monday

[preceptive]

[yo.]

Spoke with Chuuya to clarify a few things.

We can't reveal each other's roles to others, unless it's done independently—that is, not because we gave each other approval to do it.

But between us, if we ask each other direct questions, we're allowed to answer.

[applechemist]

So... We can tell other people, but only if we don't have permission? That seems kind of silly.

[preceptive]

The idea is that we shouldn't be encouraging each other to spill, it seems.

Week 2: Thursday

[preceptive]

['sup.]

Who'd you pick for this week?

[since tamamo was a bust.]

[applechemist]

[ The bad news is, in order to turn in my choice on time, I wasn't able to see the results of his Tamamo-check before reporting, even though ICly it would have taken place after she heard.

The good news is, Escha is struck with the 'is stupid all week' curse, so I at least have an IC excuse. ]

Tamamo.

[preceptive]

... Well then.

[...]

Do you know what happens if the person we vote for and the person you picked are the same, but they aren't possessed?

Week 2: Friday

[preceptive]

[...

if escha's in her room, she'll hear a knock on the door.]

Escha? It's Kagachi.

[applechemist]

[ A very long moment passes without a response.

Like Escha is deciding whether or not she wants to answer at all. But in the end she must choose to answer, and opens the door. She keeps her head bowed, like she doesn't even have the energy to look up at Kagachi's face. She is pretty clearly still in the middle of crying, and she's having trouble catching her breath.

Which is probably awkward to deal with, but that's what you get. ]

...

[ Oh, right. It would be rude not to let him in. Escha. Steps aside for him to enter. ]

[preceptive]

[he steps in.

... coming from a culture that strongly discourages grieving, kagachi actually has no idea how to handle sad people! or sad acquaintances, at least. mayura was maybe a bit of an exception.]

I assume it'd be pointless to ask how you're feeling.
