Because Mahito loves just lying on the floor, looking up at the stars... He'll lift a hand in greeting whenever Law moseys in, though, and turn to prop his head up a bit.]
[He's a curious flea! And doesn't seem to mind the increased dourness of this lad... Law has a temperament and personality that he can unfortunately vibe with, even like this.]
[GAY CRIMES... Gay-pan alliance pirate and flea crimes, incredible.
Mahito does not at all seem surprised by this, though he does properly push himself up into a sitting position and turn to face Law.]
Yeah? Well! I did ask for an interesting favor if you were gonna call one in. [AND THIS SURE FITS THE BILL.] Payback, though? You got any idea who got Steven, then?
[ GAY-PAN ALLIANCE.... pirate and flea crimes. just as there should be.
and law isn't shocked to see mahito unsurprised by his request as well. looks like he read the flea right upon their first meeting. ]
I don't. My best guess would have been Vlad given the kind of relationship the two of them had and some few other things that I can't decide if they strictly fit him or not.
[ but it definitely read as a hit.....kind of. ]
But if that's true, I wouldn't also be able to get my payback. Did you have any guesses?
But yeah he's got a good read on flea. Flea's pretty unbothered by things like murder and death in general, by the look of things.]
Huh. I didn't know what kinda relationship they had... They didn't get along? [NEWS TO HIM but he figured no one got along with Vlad, fuckin RIP.]
Nah, no guesses here. Me and Mollymauk were trying to figure out who it might be outta the people the glove prints could've belonged to... Douman and Vlad seem the most likely, but there's no, like. Real evidence or anything, you know?
[ closes eyes at law's cr honest to god. all of you..... ]
Didn't get along is one way of putting it. [ it's okay flea. the truth is that icly no one liked vlad while oocly we all loved him. law just had the pettiest reasons to hate vlad. ]
The two of you thought it was Douman. [ he seems to be mulling over that some. ] There was a certain level of cross over and overlap with the evidence that was at hand. None of it was easy to pin down on a person.
I suppose that's the reason we don't have to vote if we don't want to.
[That's all THAT gets. Just one little "hah". Oh, Vlad... we hardly knew ye. Maybe someone with more empathy had the heart necessary to feel bad when Aoi said he just wanted to be liked.
But he also nods as Law mulls things over.]
Yep, probably. I get why people don't wanna put any votes in, but we're really just killing off random guys left and right at this rate. [SHRUGS.] But whatever, it's impossible to wrangle a group this big anyway. If you can't decide who to pin for revenge, what'll you do?
[ what does it say when it was aoi to be he one who brought that up? honestly?? though hm. ]
Omi was someone I'm considering if only because of how he was after execution. [ a mercy killing of sorts. ] ...though he also fit the criteria of murderer, so maybe I'll get lucky and he was guilty all along.
[ does law put it past people to act a certain way after mcmurdering and all of this? oh absolutely not. and seeing that law is officially free from any kind of fears about losing anything particularly close to him in game now— ]
Any names of people you think would make for reasonable targets? People are starting to get close to one another.
[LOOK THEY'RE ALL EMOTIONALLY STUNTED IT'S NOT THEIR FAULT.]
Was he really that messed up about it? [He was there for the execution itself but sure didn't stick around for the aftermath. THEY'RE ALL SO RUDE.]
Dunno if I can offer up suggestions, you know? It's your pick, after all. I have no clue who might be behind any of the other deaths anyway, so I can't really direct you toward anyone else. The only hint someone mentioned is that the toblerones in jail might mean we've had at least one killer kill twice.
It seemed like he was. [ in regards to the candy though... ] If it happens a third time then we should just go with the assumption that the jail will hand out toblerons to anyone who stays there.
[ so i guess if you wanna risk death(?) and get candy as a cash prize go for it?? ]
Then I suppose it's between Douman and Omi. [ law really coming after the envies.... ] I don't recall you confessing to what you were given as a prize for this past week's event. What were you given?
[HE WOULD THINK SO. Maybe he'll stay in the jail just to see if it dispenses candy at him...
But he just shrugs in response to that, since he's ultimately leaving the decision itself in Law's very capable murderous hands. As for the prize, with a sigh and a mildly put-out look:]
Nothing super interesting. It just makes someone talk in purple prose for a while.
[ please do this flea. be the hero we don't need..... also if it fuckin does...... ]
That's not really helpful. [ hmmm. ] Well, I don't have much of a plan thought up just yet. Perhaps something involving some wires or something simple—nothing gruesome like what happened to Steven.
[ also because that's an indulgence but we actually don't need to focus on that one too much? sometimes you wanna kill for vengeance but get semi-cucked and then kill for points. sweats. ]
The likelihood of being caught seems already pretty low but insurance is always appreciated.
[PLEASE THAT'D BE SO FUNNY. TOBLERONES EVERY WEEK. Or just food related items that have to do with various murders. Watch him get buried under croissants.]
Right? Couldn't even use that in self-defense if I needed to. [A sigh! Very tiring, very sad.] You'll definitely run across a lot less ire if you do something simple, though. That'd probably be good. People are more determined when they're angry - though they also tend to miss more details like that too, I think.
[A give and take! People are wild. He raises his shoulders a little, but nods as Law continues to talk.]
Yeah, makes sense. I'll do what I can, okay? You know where to find me.
[ please... i pray for this so that everyone can be triggered by foods of trials past. ]
I do.
[ a flea is but a stone throw away. ]
If I keep things simple, and there are others as well, it'll be easy for that evidence to get lost in something more complicated. We can just plan for things to take their sweet time once again. Focus on someone other than who I end up picking.

Mmhm. Hopefully it works out in your favor! Making a move now is pretty smart, since I'm sure we'll all get more organized as things go on.
