craven castle: private conversation, week 2, friday

[lullabytes]

WHO: Nanami & Kuzuryuu & Feferi.
WHEN: Week 2, Friday evening post-trial.
WHAT: Apollo asks for people to escort the suspects around. APOLLO HAS HECKED UP.

[ Apollo, you tried. Really, you did. But you see...the problem with the volunteers to guard people thing was that you agreed to let the actual culprit guarded by a designated killer and the actual mastermind.

You could not possibly have agreed to a worse pairing. And indeed, as soon as Feferi's door is open and they're all inside, and more importantly once the door is locked, Nanami swings her pink cat backpack off her shoulder, opening it up. ]

All right. Your items...I'll take them in case they decide to do room checks. They should be here somewhere...right?

[ Sorry, Apollo. ]

[ACTUALLY IT SOUNDS PERFECTLY REASONABLE TO FEFERI and maybe the start of a beautiful black romance!]

She was timing herself? [Feferi missed that.] Is she trying to look suspicious?

[Desk moving go!]

[impheired]

[Heave ho! Desk to the doorway, here we go!]

Yeah, she was running all over the damn place, timing how long it took to get from room to room. Good idea but...fucking terrible way to actually do it. [LIKE HALF THE CASTLE SAW HER.] I was coming out of our wing and didn't realize she was right behind the damn door.

[It legitimately was an accident.]

But yeah, I know we do. And she was stupid enough to all but hand me a button that says "push here for murder". So I saw my opportunity and I took it.

[And with this week's incentive...he will probably jab even harder at that button. Holy shit, he's going to feel so bad about this once he gets his memories back.]

[lullabytes]

...I...don't think Pekoyama-san is very good at not being suspicious. It may be because she already thinks she's going to look suspicious, but even so...you don't see Kuzuryuu-kun racing around the castle timing how long it takes him to get everywhere.

[ Granted, if he tried Nanami would stop that nonsense, but. ]

...Just be careful not to push her to the point she'd hurt you. What "button" did she hand you, anyway?

[ HAHA MEMORIES...the SDR2s are going to curl up and die. ]

[tyrian]

Yeah, and I didn't practice dragging things to the lake or swinging around on balconies. [BAD IDEAS IN MURDER CASTLE.]

As long as she doesn't target any of us it would be really helpful if other people would krill, too. [Then they wouldn't have to vote for the wrong person multiple times in a row.]

[impheired]

[Peko has just made one bad mistake after another in murder castle. If she makes it to the end, it'll be a miracle.]

Well yeah, I already look suspicious no matter what. And I've got way too much at stake to go around making that worse. Like I said though, she can't kill me. She's indebted to me now on top of not wanting to potentially cause trouble for her family by killing a rival's successor.

[Kuzuryuu holds all the cards.]

As for her "button," that would be her master. Pekoyama's not just any regular hired gun. She serves one man, and one man only. To the point where she doesn't even see herself as a person, just a tool for his use. Whatever he wants her to do, she's supposed to do without question and without fail.

...they took away her memories of him. His face, his name...from what I understand, all she remembers is that he's the heir to his family. Which...she also can't fucking remember.

[Okay and this would be why part of him actually feels bad about exploiting this. He's not really crazy about this system and boy is he ever glad that he doesn't have a hitman/bodyguard like this. He wouldn't be able to take it!]

And that seemed to be the only thing that was fucking stopping her. The only motive she really needs is immunity so that she can return to his side. But since she can't remember him...she's hesitating. She probably would have killed week one had Marlowe not beat her to the damn punch.

[lullabytes]

[ ...Holy damn Pekoyama why would you tell Kuzuryuu any of that. Well, not that Nanami thinks he usually would have hit that button as hard as he apparently did. Actually, if he weren't a designated killer, it might have been a safe bet to tell him that.

He's a good person. He understands about caring for people, even if he clearly doesn't like someone being a "tool" for another person.

Unfortunately, the situation... ]

...And now incentives from previous weeks can also be taken, if certain conditions are met. So...to retrieve her memories...and possibly if a chance comes to protect him...?
