[WEEK 4, FRIDAY POST-INVESTIGATION: Akira]

[it's actually somewhat later in the day when she seeks him out. early afternoon or so, when things from the morning have calmed down somewhat]

[wherever she finds him, she reaches out to knock her knuckles against the back of his head to get his attention]


Hey, Trickster. Mind giving me five minutes of your time? I promise I'll pay it back in kind.

[he shakes his head.]

Battler was the first I heard of that, and really... the last. [does anyone even know about it or how they can exploit it?]

[...]

What was that about?

[yeah, he caught that look, so what the fuck magilou?]

...

[yeah, that's not helping.]

Is that all, then?

[his tone is definitely a little chillier at that. sorry, magilou, but he's so exhausted with secret keeping and her holding things back from him right now isn't a great feeling?]
jokered: (exceptionally ordinary. damaged.)

[it's a moment where they're both definitely much more closed off—it's a huge step back from last night.

and it stings a little, even if akira always knew this was a likely outcome.]


It's not like I can force the information from you.

[he says it dryly, uncharacteristically cold for him. it's been a pretty awful week for him, and the one thing that had looked like a bright spot clouding over is just—well, it's not something he's up for.

truthfully, he could force it from her, but that's not akira. that's not who he is, even at the worst of times. if he does something like that, he might break.]


But I can't help if I don't know how.

[it's really as simple as that.

magilou can take what he says and how he says it however she wants, because obviously... he's not forcing her even if his ego is taking a critical blow for it.]
jokered: (maybe you'll get it right this time)

[for a long while, akira is quiet. he's definitely processing what he's hearing. his shoulders slump after a moment, though.

relief?

there's honest relief, because she tells him. and that could seem underhanded, if it wasn't for the fact that this all has to do with personal feelings and not so much how the information may or may not affect them. he wants to help. he wants to end this game and save everyone both living and dead.

it feels like a duty at this point, to atone for how badly he's fucked up in so many ways.]


I don't know about appealing to the volcano spirit if they don't have leverage.

[...] But I think you might be right about the Wickie role.
jokered: (seizing the day and)

[personal profile] jokered 2017-09-02 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Because it's a game.

[...]

Good vs. Evil, clashes of morality. They're what keeps a game, or any plot interesting. If the people in the roles exist to fulfill that, with the Sirens being "good," and the Wickies being "evil," it makes sense.

It doesn't mean the person in the Wickie's role is inherently bad, but if they have to play by the rules the Chiefs gave them, it would make for more "entertainment" to pit them against each other with everyone else acting as the pawn and collateral damage.
jokered: (do not do the stupid thing)

[personal profile] jokered 2017-09-03 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
It is. But we also don't know what's at stake for them—

[a breath, and:]

Because I don't doubt there are some kind of bullshit conditions in place for the roles so they comply.
jokered: (welcome intruder in my brain)

[personal profile] jokered 2017-09-03 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I can't either, but... it's probably something big. I'm sure every role is like that, probably depending on the role or who is in it.

[it just sounds like something they'd do, doesn't it?]
jokered: (we're all nerds now)

[personal profile] jokered 2017-09-04 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
Nobody's said anything about what's left.

[that he knows of, at least.]

I guess that means they're still... among us too. [since the chiefs haven't said anything about any other roles.]
jokered: (mix of ambition and insecurity)

[personal profile] jokered 2017-09-04 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
[it's.. kind of a strange question at a time like this. but he draws in a breath and nods.]

Most people would be.

[not all. but most. in his position.]
jokered: (bewitching and sometimes disgusting)

[personal profile] jokered 2017-09-04 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
....What....

[??????????? he doesn't mind this but?????]
