Week 0 | Friday

[Well.

After that spectacle, Sanji supposes he should find his roommate.

He'll try their room first because frankly, that's where he'd hide out, but if that doesn't give him any leads, Sanji's not adverse combing the castle until he finds the red asshole]

[holybind]

Yeah, I do know. I got the wings to prove it.

[ Why are they like this!!!!!!! ]

Full disclosure, just so we have our story straight tomorrow— I was out with Reyna until curfew hit. I spent the night with her, she was gone when curfew lifted. No clue how she got where she did, but I know for a fact she's innocent. Can't speak to the character of the rest of the people they found out there, though.

[concasse]

[Dear Reyna-chan please tell Sanji you have better taste than a garbage can, ugh ugh ugh he needs five cigarettes just to get through this convo.]

Ion's clean -- or at least I think. He's pragmatic where it counts, but I doubt he's got the stomach for this kind of murder. [Rubbing his chin] Sharpay-chan is... opportunistic.

[Humming to himself] But can't really imagine her doing it, either.

[holybind]

[ No one tell Sanji she thinks Zelos is hot ]

Yeah I don't think he's got it in him either. He'd probably ask permission before he murdered and then spend the rest of his days apologizing to the corpse.

[ Sorry he's gotta be mean to the Ions even when they're not here. ]

I guess we probably shouldn't count anyone out yet. People'll surprise you when their backs are against the wall or when someone dangles the right boon in their faces.

[concasse]

[No one give Sanji more reasons to murder his partner, we're on thin ice as it is.

... Also going to do the surprising thing and not start a petty fight over that last statement being a little too close for comfort. All Zelos gets is a huff of agreement.]

The purple ink's what's got me stumped. We got an asshole who bleeds it, but the color's not right.

[holybind]

[ IS this?? growth?? Prouda you Sanji ]

Oh, you mean that weirdo— he made me stab him earlier this week. Dazai, I think.

[ Gotta a whole buncha' weirdos in this castle but whatever ]

Hey, if we find out who did this.. you're not going to be one of those weepy pacifist types who argues we should forgive them, right?

[concasse]

-- Why the fuck should we?

[????

AN HONEST QUESTION.

HE IS CONFUSED.]

[holybind]

Not saying we should.

[ And Zelos, for his part, sounds serious for once. ]

There are always people who espouse forgiveness, who want to waste your time telling you why you should let bad people get away with bad things. Just making sure you're not one of them. It would make a lot of things about this situation harder.

[ a beat ]

Let me rephrase— I wanted to make sure you weren't going to make this situation even more difficult than you already have.

[ anyway we're back to being petty ]

1/2

[concasse]

I am a bad guy, and I wouldn't give myself a free pass if I got caught, either.

[concasse]

Besides. There's no one here whose ass I want to kick more than you, so it's fine. I gotta behave.

[He says.


Gleefully]

[holybind]

Oh right, pirates aren't really upstanding citizens are they? Your sense of responsibility is really something though.

[ Can't relate! ]

But I'm absolutely touched that I rank so high on your list of priorities. I might just get a little teary eyed— c'mere you big lug.

[ Zelos gets up, arms outstretched for a hug as he approaches. There is absolutely nothing sweet about his smile. ]

[concasse]

[Zelos you know his foot is just gonna try and connect with your face, right?

TRUST IS NOT THE BASIS OF THIS PARTNERSHIP.






... Also with a smile like that, either Zelos is gonna punch him or give him a wedgie, he's not standing still to find out which.]
