craven castle: private conversation, week 7, trial day 1

WHO: Nanami & Kuzuryuu.
WHEN: Week 7, during day 1 of the trial.
WHAT: KUZURYUU IS BEING AN ANGSTY UNHELPFUL IDIOT so Nanami is trying to figure out what the hell he's doing with his life.

[ And after dragging Kuzuryuu away to Dragon Wing and the privacy of a locked room: ]

...All right, why are you so focused on Austria? That's why...you're being weird, right?
impheired: to wash off the shame but at least it took care off the blood. (distress ♚ a shower wasn't enough)

[personal profile] impheired 2014-07-19 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
Because I think she might've done it, of course! And I don't...if I'm right, I don't...

[He doesn't want to help catch her, basically.]

Because if she did do it then it's...it's not because of the fuckin' nightmares...
impheired: but then you got greedy and decided to eat it all (talk ♚ you decided to have a pasta fight)

[personal profile] impheired 2014-07-19 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
Because it was him or a sixteen year old girl. Which one do you think Austria would go for?

[Nanami, you...you really should not give into this morbid curiosity. You really don't want a peek into how Kuzuryuu's mind works in this case, it's terrible.]

But she...she wants to help us. You saw how she reacted to Michaelis's report. On Monday she invited me over to her room for a bit, we got to talking about shit and she ended up askin' me if I failed trivia on purpose. I told her that was stupid, of course I wouldn'tve done something like that and she told me that...she wished she could have assisted me. Somehow, with what I struggle with. And I don't...I don't think she was talkin' about that test when she was referring to "what I struggle with."
impheired: and said "oh look blood" and then looked at me and touched my face... And said war paint (distress ♚ you touched your head)

[personal profile] impheired 2014-07-19 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
She doesn't but...she must at least know that if nobody else went, one of us would have to. And if once of us showed up on the suspect list this week, we'd be caught for sure... Hell, they might not have even tried solving it, if people like Michaelis were loud enough and only one of us showed up on the suspect list...

[SHOULDA SCAPEGOATED HIM WHEN WE HAD THE CHANCE.]

And...she had the best opportunity to poison both Spain and herself. I want to think it's Iceland, I really do, but...
impheired: mouse traps and brownies on my porch? (unsure ♚ just wondering. did you put)

[personal profile] impheired 2014-07-19 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
But what about the person who met with him in his room? Why the fuck wouldn't Spain have mentioned that when he was talking about Iceland the first time? Like I get he was fucking dying and not thinking straight but...

The person who was with him during his unaccounted time had to've done it, right? Because they're not coming forward to admit to being with him at that time...
impheired: i wish i had a time machine so i could go back and punch myself in the face to stop myself before it's too late. (distress ♚ this is one of those times)

[personal profile] impheired 2014-07-19 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
I know we can't! I don't want to assume it's her but I just...I can't rule out the possibility no matter how I look at it. Because I can't find a single thing to rule her out for sure beyond "oh, she wouldn't do something like that because she loved him" or something along those lines. And you know how I feel about that sort of thing...

[He...hates...it........]

Every time I've followed my instincts so far, I've been right. And in this case, I don't want to be right. [There's a glimmer in his eye of something...strange. Maybe glimmer isn't the right word. What would you call an anti-glimmer? Something dark and empty...] But what am I supposed to do instead of following 'em?! I don't want to find out the truth is that she did something like poison herself twice, just to be sure Spain took the poison in a way that would be impossible to trace!

[...Kuzuryuu, just what exactly is your fucking theory here and holy hell, how long have you been stewing in this?]
impheired: to burn the bridge between us & to feel no remorse whatsoever while doing it. i'll use the flames to roast marshmallows. (neutral ♚ never doubt my willingness)

[personal profile] impheired 2014-07-19 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
[That's what happens when you have nightmares about your role in the despair apocalypse for half a week and lose sleep over it. It starts to rub off on you a little bit.]

[And, y'know, Spain dying with Austria being a suspect doesn't exactly help. Really, that's was the breaking point here.]

[He sits down on the bed, taking a deep breath to try and collect himself a little bit.]


I think...she might've poisoned herself with the slow acting poison. Drank it herself and then...kissed Spain while it was still fresh in her mouth. Then at dinner, she took the fast acting poison to entice a scare and get him to use the antidote. It's not like...the antidote would have been selective and cured only one poison over the other, right? It's universal...it probably would have gotten rid of both. And we'd never be able to trace that, no matter how many poison testing kits we have.

[What the actual fuck, Kuzuryuu, it is a good thing you didn't share this theory with everybody. What the fuck is wrong with you.]
impheired: yeah, like five in my neck. (sigh ♚ ‘do u have kinks’?)

[personal profile] impheired 2014-07-19 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Do you regret your life and your choices yet, Nanami?]

Maybe she...was hoping he didn't have the antidote. Maybe she didn't intend to...live to the trial. [Murder-suicide...] We'd technically have a murder and we might not even have to go through a trial since we'd have a dead person on the suspect list, so...

[...okay. hold up. Now that he's actually said this outloud, he seems to realize that at least part of it is kinda...uh...]

But I guess...you're right. That doesn't really...help anybody, does it? [Okay, but kiss of death is still a perfectly acceptable murder plan, you have to admit. THERE WOULD BE NO EVIDENCE. THE PERFECT CRIME!! Assuming the populars actually...uh...found the antidote.] As for Iceland...you have a point. That...that's basically what we did when Peixes went. And that was...part of why I was so suspicious of Peko...
impheired: mouse traps and brownies on my porch? (unsure ♚ just wondering. did you put)

look, we all have our off days: an epilogue, also by fuyuhiko kuzuryuu

[personal profile] impheired 2014-07-19 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
No it's...it's not. He's usually one of the more focused of the group...

[He frowns a little.]

...how do you think he did it? You've got a theory, right?
impheired: a car won (shock ♚ just saw a bird v squirrel fight)

HE BETTER NOT BE RIGHT...

[personal profile] impheired 2014-07-19 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
No, we wouldn'tve, probably. And you're right, Spain was...too damn trusting for his own good.

[Kuzuryuu falls silent again, thinking. He seems to realize something after a moment though.]

...we...never did find where he hid his damn fingerprinting kit, did we?

[Kuzuryuu what...does that have to do with anything?]
impheired: better when people don’t know what you’re up to. (talk ♚ i realized that life is so much)

*kuzuryuu* will cry if he's right.

[personal profile] impheired 2014-07-19 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
Well it's...think back for a sec. To what Iceland himself and I were talking about before you pulled me in here. We haven't found the containers the poisons were kept in anywhere, have we?

[WHERE IS THAT DAMN KIT.]

What was it he said? Unless they're somewhere that would point to our killer, it probably doesn't matter if we find them? Something like that, anyway, my point is...what if the fact that we can't find them points to our killer?
impheired: at my worst, then leave because i don't have a best. i'm always awful. (talk ♚ if you can't handle me)

he will cry in private though, WHERE NOBODY CAN SEE HIS TEARS.

[personal profile] impheired 2014-07-19 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
No, just the fact that he's really fucking good at hiding shit. I mean, it's possible he hid it in the same place but I think he's a little too cautious for something like that, don't you think?

[Especially since supposedly Maya knows.]
Edited 2014-07-19 04:35 (UTC)
impheired: not on me. just like...in a drawer (ponder ♚ sometimes i wish i had boobs.)

he's not crying, you're crying!!!!

[personal profile] impheired 2014-07-19 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...I mean it obviously doesn't...definitively point to him, but...it's something to keep in mind, I guess.

[He glances up at the clock.]

We should probably head back out there. Before people start getting suspicious or we break the rules...
impheired: the most when given the opportunity for blackmail. at least that's how i always see it when i'm the designated driver. (happy ♚ they're the one who can profit)

[personal profile] impheired 2014-07-19 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
[She did do a good job of putting the brakes on the despair train. Gold star for you, Nanami.]

Yeah, that'd be real damn unfortunate wouldn't it?

[And off they go!]
