Even Grimm could not have prepared him for this bullshit. So finding himself at the infirmary isn't so much according to plan as it is just him wandering, trying to line his chaotic thoughts in order.
Seeing Akira there -- well, that's... opportunistic, isn't it? He offers the other a nod of greeting and settles against a wall.]
[Akira is here!! compared to him being MIA the night before he is very available today, likely because he managed to get control of whatever emotions were tearing him apart immediately post-trial. Sanji will notice that he has changed his eye bandages. gotta clean the wound clean, after all]
[he looks up when Sanji speaks, and just lets out a wry huff]
[Hey, as long as whatever half-cocked coping mechanisms worked, no complaints from the chef. He tilts his head, sparing glance at his new eye bandages before nodding]
Well, since I got you here, might as well talk business.
[frowning deeply as he pulls a (pink) whistle out of his pocket and blows on it sadly]
This is what I got this week. It's just a normal whistle; completely useless. The week before I got a weird flute, and the week before that I got a kazoo.
Nothing good, just. . . consolation prizes, I guess.
... It's our safest bet for now, seeing as Shadow's team has such an advantage.
[...]
I've still got people willing to share infor from Shadow's team -- I'll check in with all of them, and see if they'll tell me what the prizes are. It'll help start us on the right foot if more of us are aware of what tools there are.
That'll work. Later in the week we can double-check to make sure the items match up and leave it at that. Even if we can't bring shit up during a trial doesn't mean we can't steer the group in a better direction.

so bad.

... Doing alright?

[he looks up when Sanji speaks, and just lets out a wry huff]
I'm doing something.
[he isn't sure "all right" is what it is, though]
no subject
Well, since I got you here, might as well talk business.
no subject
All right.
[back to business, then. no rest for the weary]
What do you got for me today?
no subject
Who are you protecting this week?
[A pause]
And I realize I never checked in with who you protected last week, either.
no subject
I protected Guy last week.
[funny. . . considering how Akira feels like it was his suspicions that got Guy wrongly executed]
I'm not sure about this week yet. . . though I still have my list from last week.
no subject
Well. Moving on QUICKLY:]
If any of those people on your list are from Heart's team, maybe give them extra consideration.
[...]
Right now, I don't think they're being targeted, but I do think they're sliding into a really shitty territory.
no subject
[h-hahaha sobs]
I thought briefly that maybe Heart's team was being targeted on purpose, but I guess maybe it is just really shitty luck?
. . . and speaking of luck, Shadows' team sure has a ton of it.
no subject
[Running a hand through his hair, and then wincing slightly. Beh.]
-- Oi, speaking of that -- did your team win any prizes? Mine didn't.
[Though haha, even saying that, Sanji's mouth falls into another grimace. Giyuu... honey...]

no subject
... So the same team's won three times in a row.
no subject
[popping that 'p' for emphasis]
And if they keep getting things that make committing murders easier, then we're going to keep getting it wrong each week.
Assuming that Lili was right when she said we were looking for someone from Shadows' team for Hikage's murder, too.

They'd be willing to share information with me, but only if I promise not to spread it around.
no subject
no subject
[. . .]
I don't want anyone else to end up like Giyuu.
no subject
[That Giyuu was made into an example... Sanji's mouth curls into a frown, but--]
If anything, I suspect a lot of us might start getting too cautious outta fear. We need a better game plan.
no subject
We do. A better way to pass around information without hurting anyone.
[. . .]
Either that. . . or we just need to learn to trust each other more.
no subject
[He'll concede the truth of that last statement. Akira isn't wrong]
But right now, not everyone's got the incentive to trust.
no subject
Maybe that's why we're doing so badly right now.
no subject
Taking the first bandage roll he sees and lobbing it at Akira's head]
Stop that.
no subject
[but fortunately it hits the uninjured side of his face, and at the back of his head to. with a yell he snaps his gaze upwards and scowls at Sanji]
Hey! What was that for?!
no subject
[Sanji's bedside manner is amazing.]
