[He's in his usual window seat in the game room, god cloaks gone and hood of his sweater up over his head. One leg dangles over the ledge he's sitting on and the other is pulled to his chest as he waits patiently.
When Takaomi enters the room, he immediately turns to face him.]
...tomorrow's going to be a long day. [Come here, kid.]
...yeah. We know as soon as deaths happen, and then you guys get the dreams later. [He's sure as hell not confirming when it happened since I also, oocly, have no idea on timing but...it was definitely something he knew while he was with them. Maybe it's best that Taka doesn't know the alignment of the other two yet either.
He'll move his legs enough to give Taka space to sit down.]
Uh. Tell me there's a back-up plan in case that doesn't happen. They're going to try and focus on pinpointing one of the other killers first, aren't they?
[Should he be concerned? There's suddenly a deep concern.]
Mm. We can't really pick on a certain murder until we see the states of the bodies and crime scenes tomorrow, but they seem confident.
[ there's a pause. ]
And I get the logic of not wanting to have Luna's murder be a distraction to the others. I think if it were any other situation, I'd be more supportive of it, but...
[ if it goes wrong, then they're not going to have any other choice but to vote for ishi. and if something goes down in the trial that forces taka to reveal his alignment because of his involvement, then...
As long as you seem to think you know what you're doing, there's not much I can do from here. With four different bodies, and if Ishi's confirmed as protecting Ruin, hopefully they'll be focused on catching the god-killer instead. [There's a slightly nervous edge to his voice though. He's thought of that, too.]
I wanted to talk to you about something, and I know you're gonna hate it. But just hear me out, alright?
I think people are probably going to gravitate towards Ruin's. Although Bart is the youngest death we've had so far, so that might catch people's attention.
[ ... ]
But it' hard to decide when we don't know anything about how they died yet. It'll be bad if we pick someone too early and it turns out they had the most complicated murder.
Let someone unrelated to this take the lead at first. See what they do. From there, you can redirect or keep them on that target. That's the only thing I can think of.
[...] And if you guys still think it's necessary...I can try to help. Piety's usually better at this, but this is my mess, too.

They're probably going to reveal that Ishikirimaru killed her, but not his alignment. They're hoping that we solve one of the other deaths.

he doesn't want jack to become vulnerable. ]

[ he has hated a lot of things he's heard this week so might as well add another to the pile. ]
no subject
...well. Whatever he was going to say he suddenly can't. So that's cool, and he suddenly looks very frustrated.]

You can't say it?
