[bakaomi]

Mm.

... you're going to be on the suspect list for the third time in the row. That's going to be suspicious no matter what.

[divus]

Yeah...it happened to Love and it worked out alright. [But he's definitely nervous.]

...I can't do much outside of the trial, so I hope you guys have some kind of plan.

[bakaomi]

... as long as Mizuki agrees to help us, no one should actually get executed.

It's just what happens during the trial itself that concerns me.

[ above suspicion won't do shit for a midtrial murder ]

[divus]

If they don't for some reason, send them my way. I'll make a deal with them, whatever they want.

[...] Guy was safe through the whole trial and the whole weekend. Guy wasn't even killed this week. I'm hoping the trial will go a little better than last week's.

[bakaomi]

[ he nods at the mizuki thing. ]

... at the very least, they didn't kill someone innocent, so there's that.

[divus]

Hopefully that'll be enough to get everyone to calm down tomorrow when they find out.

...you have nine hours still, Taka. What're you going to do with it?

[bakaomi]

Try not to die.

[ ... ]

Ray's letters confirmed that they were the one who got him, so if things look bad we'll probably reveal that. Senri wanted to do it right away, but that would just immediately place suspicion on Ray's friends.

[divus]

Yeah, bad idea! Don't do anything that's immediately going to draw attention to yourselves, any of you. I hope somebody talked him out of that...

[bakaomi]

Yeah. Hopefully, he'll only do it if either of them get outed.

... otherwise we can probably pretend that we received the letters next week, if we don't find a chance to do it this weekend. I dunno. We're still working on possible timing if people don't figure them out.

[divus]

[He slowly sits up at least.]

...as always, I trust you guys. [He fidgets a bit.] ...if we can get out of this with no execution, that's what I'd like best. I don't want to execute somebody innocent, but...I'm not ready to let any of you go yet either.

[bakaomi]

[ ... he wonders how it must be, from the gods' perspectives, to be witnesses all these deaths week after week of people they brought here and became close to. it must be a different kind of hurt. ]

We'll get through it.

[divus]

I know. It'll work out.

...how're Ishi and Sasuke?

[bakaomi]

... not that great.

Although I doubt they'll tell me anything more.

[divus]

They probably don't want you to worry is all. I thought about contacting them, too, but...same reason.

[bakaomi]

... yeah. They might tell you slightly more.

[ but he doesn't sound like he thinks it would be much more. ]

[divus]

Might. I'll be lucky if Sasuke says anything at all, and Ishikirimaru...[There's just a slow headshake.] Maybe it's better to leave it.

...I'm not sure what the best god thing would be at a time like this.

[bakaomi]

I don't even know what the best non-god thing is.

[ because everything sucks from on ends ]

[divus]

...[Hm.]

...Taka, can we go somewhere?

[bakaomi]

Mm?

[ he is used to jack being very married to his game room. ]

Sure.

[divus]

[Like, yes, but Jack also used to be a spirit who wandered wherever the hell he wanted.]

Maybe the top of the 109?

[bakaomi]

[ he nods ]

Yeah, let's go.

[divus]

[He's getting up then, not bothering with his cloak and his mask as he heads for the door.] I think most people will have cleared out anyway. I haven't spent a lot of time in Japan, so may as well before it disappears.

[It's half a distraction and half he just wants to do something with his fav since both of their hands are tied in this situation. It's the least he can do.]

[bakaomi]

It'll almost be like me showing you around home.

[ almost.

it's still a nice thought ]

[divus]

I'd like that. You're from around the same area aren't you? You and Senri.

[bakaomi]

Yeah, it wouldn't take us that long to reach Shibuya. It's more Senri's thing than mine though.

[ and he and senri have very different styles so going shopping is a headache ]
