[bakaomi]

... what is it?

[ he has hated a lot of things he's heard this week so might as well add another to the pile. ]

[divus]

...if something happens and we have to...if Ishi's voted guilty...[...

...well. Whatever he was going to say he suddenly can't. So that's cool, and he suddenly looks very frustrated.]

[bakaomi]

[ he turns more towards jack. ]

You can't say it?

[ wow he hates this rule a lot ]

[divus]

[A SIGH.] Looks that way. I guess because it's too soon...tomorrow though. We'll try again tomorrow.

[bakaomi]

Hopefully it won't be an issue then.

[ if they don't catch a non-ishi killer then taka will probably like

die

on the inside ]

[divus]

We'll see. Do you guys know which death you want to focus on first?

[bakaomi]

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.

[divus]

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.

[bakaomi]

... hopefully that won't be necessary. You already did a lot.

[divus]

Not as much as I wanted to. [But that's pointless to argue about.]

...I'm really glad you were safe. Both of you, even with the injuries.

[bakaomi]

...

I really need to thank him later.

[divus]

We both do. You both helped each other and that's way more than I could've asked for. Alright? Remember that.

[bakaomi]

... are you sure you won't get in trouble?

[divus]

I don't care. It was worth it to make sure you were okay.

[bakaomi]

I...

[ it's hard, not really knowing how to express your gratitude. ]

I want you to be okay, too.

[divus]

And I will be. I think as long as I'm not crossing the lines, I can stay in the game just fine.

[bakaomi]

... well, considering you need to win, you definitely need to stay in it.

[ taka stans....... ]

[divus]

I'm not going anywhere. [There's a grin.] You and I are in it to win it, remember? We still have time.

[bakaomi]

Mmhm. If things go well tomorrow, we can try to see if we can get more people to switch to you.

[divus]

You think people would want to even if I'm up for suspicion tomorrow?

[bakaomi]

Innocent parties are up for suspicion all the time.

[divus]

Yeah, and how many of those innocent parties have had people defect to them anyway?

[bakaomi]

...

It could happen.

[divus]

Let's just focus on you, me and Ishi right now.

[A hand runs through his hair nervously.] ...I've never been on trial before.

[bakaomi]

... usually your followers are better behaved.

[ he sounds remorseful, at least. ]
