week 2, thursday

[soba]

[ hey, what's going on akechi? maybe you're hungry and want to grab a snacc after such an ordeal. that's valid.

except after he steps out into the hall, someone from two rooms over is going to peek his head out. ]

Hey.

[miscakes]

[Yeah, he's hangry. :/ He is also dressed in a pair of stupidly expensive sweatpants and an equally as stupidly expensive jacket when Toi peeks his head out, so don't mind him as he freezes up for a split second before offering him a smile.]

Ah... Hello, Kuji-kun.

[Maybe........ It's okay if he keeps moving towards the stairs.........]

[soba]

Are you allowed to be leaving your room?

[ he does not actually care, considering he also snuck out right after he got injured ]

[miscakes]

Huh?

["Allowed".................. Nobody stopped Toi and nobody will stop Akechi, excuse you.]

Of course I am. I think I'm well past the age where I have to ask for permission, you know.

[soba]

Uh huh.

[ that doesn't stop people from being annoying as hell ]

[miscakes]

[Valid. He slows down long enough to raise an eyebrow at him, maybe a little bit amused.]

... Should I take it someone tried to ground you?

[soba]

It was highly frowned upon when I walked out.

[ but it's fine...... ]

week 2, friday

[soba]

[ it's a couple of hours after the announcement has gone up. toi has spent half the time in his room, and the other half in the garden, and it's when he's on his way back to his room that he sees akechi.

hm. hello. ]

[miscakes]

Kuji-kun...

[Hm. This is probably fine.]

... My condolences for your loss. Meltryllis-san was your roommate, yes?

[soba]

She was, yeah.

[ and now he has a room to himself. cool. ]

[miscakes]

[SORRY, TOI... Akechi looks like he wants to say something, but apparently thinks better.]

Then... I apologize for getting right to it, but did you notice anything usual this morning?

[soba]

[ ... ]

There's a fire on the second floor somewhere. Don't know where. Towards the stairs going to the third floor, there's a bunch of water and slime like last week. There's also a big hole in the ceiling.

[miscakes]

[Ah.]

... I was told about the fire by Thymos-san, but I was unaware of the rest. If it's not a bother, would you mind showing me exactly where you saw the hole? I'd like to know exactly where to look tomorrow.

[soba]

[ he shakes his head ]

Sure.

[ might as well ]

[miscakes]

[... He smiles, a bit apologetic.]

Thank you. Lead the way, and I will follow you.

[soba]

[ he just nods, and will start walking!

akechi will probably notice that when they pass by the stairs, toi seems to be... extra careful in stepping around something that akechi can't see. but they're heading directly across from where the stairs are, and he'll stop walking and point up. ]

There.

[miscakes]

[He does take notice, squinting at the ground even though he can't see anything. But it's a phenomenon he's experienced twice before already, and Toi had already mentioned the water and slime, so he can put two and two together.

He looks up to see the perfectly normal ceiling.]

Ah... [Yeah, he expected that.] It's not the same kind as what we saw last week, is it?

[soba]

It's big, but from here it's kind of hard to tell if someone fell through it or not.

[ ... ]

But there's a lot of slime falling out of it, if that helps.

[miscakes]

It does, thank you.

[That's going to be pleasant to look at tomorrow, huh?]

Have you heard anything from the others? I'm trying to cover as much ground as I can, but even I have my limits.

[soba]

[ he shakes his head ]

I haven't ran into anyone else who has seen anything yet.

[miscakes]

[He sighs, almost disappointed.]

Alright, then I won't keep you any longer. I hope you're able to rest before tomorrow, Kuji-kun.

[soba]

... right. Later.

[ he will go to walk off and die in his room ]

[miscakes]

Haha, really? Well, I suppose I understand why. It's natural to worry about someone younger than you are, after all.

[soba]

I'm not that much younger...

[ technically he is the second youngest if you don't include the like, dog or non-humans ]

[miscakes]

Perhaps not. But 14 can feel like a world of a difference when you're older.
