[ he's fine!!! sometimes you lose a romance-to-be and then never talk about it but just want to become with the earth. ...while maybe also wanting to salt and burn it.
...the last one is prob the indulgence week talking. ]
Whatever... [ flops arms lazily up from the ground. ] this is, isn't the only thing I feel and I'm sure others might be on edge depending on what's affecting them.
[Ah, relatable mood... Sometimes your inner indulgence demon just wants to salt and burn the earth and then lie down in it!!]
Ah, yeah, that's true... [Watching his floppy arms rise like a zombie.] Well, we're gonna need all the distractions we can get, so maybe you're right - maybe it will work in your favor.
[ smashcut to the zodiac affects?? and confessions??? oh boy!!! what a week to commit crimes. ]
...that said, I've decided that I will move forward with what I've been thinking of this week. [ law is still floppy but he'll look at the flea with enough seriousness. ] While things appear easy and we're still mostly disorganized.
[IT WOULD HONESTLY BE HILARIOUS IF THAT HAPPENED. TRULY HILARIOUS.]
Yep! Use the pods if it gets too rough and I'll help with what I can. I'm paying back a favor, but I'm not going to stick my neck on the chopping block for you.
[Might as well make his stance clear. He ain't about to bus Law and he'll lend a reasonable hand, but he's also not going to go out of his way to bus himself if things look dire. Gentleman's murderer code...]
but yeah, law will nod at that. it's totally reasonable for the flea to watch out for himself but also just smudge a few things here and there for law. nothing more than that and that's all has hoped for. ]
I wouldn't ask you to. Winning a that bet a while ago is hardly worth risking your life over. Dealing with the aftermath is going to be good enough.
You're a real reasonable guy, you know? [He says to the lad who decided to attempt a vengeance kill after his gay crush bit it. It's fine, unfortunately that still doesn't disqualify him from the running among this group.]
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. It'd suck to see you get caught.
[Everyone would be grilling the shit outta him after weeks of not catching any killers...]
[ scapegoats only!!!! winner pool is nothing but murderers.... but listen, technically he has wanted to do a stab since day one but sometimes other people had more privilege so now things just...happened this way. ]
Strangely enough, that's not the first time I've heard that.
[ what are the standards in this game?? in this group???? ]
But thanks; hopefully I don't get caught either. I'm here to win it. Maybe I'll get extra lucky and there will be plenty of others who will be out doing the same.
[THEIR POOL OF MURDERERS... Can't wait to see it. Also fair, now it is his turn in the murder spotlight.]
Yeah, I'm not surprised! [He doesn't even know if Law means here or back home, but he wouldn't be surprised by either one... Law is the tsukkomi to everyone's boke.
With a little laugh:] If the pattern keeps going as it has been, we'll end up with four bodies to sort through this week. Wouldn't be a bad thing for you, yeah?
It certainly would be to my advantage if there were four. [ WHY ARE WE WISHING FOR FOUR BODIES THO HONESTLY? ] But even if we had three, that'd be plenty given how we barely understood everything that happened with the first two.
[ cries in steven. steven!!!!! but— ]
I wonder if whoever else is getting involved with this will be violent. The last three were moderately tame.
[ steven's head was basically gone—IT WAS MODERATELY TAME. ]
[FOUR BODIES! FOUR BODIES! FOUR BODIES! i hope i'm one of them]
Hah, true, true. There's always the chance that people give up on the others and focus on whoever is most well-liked if there are too many bodies, anyway.
[People just be like that sometimes... They were already starting to veer in that direction a little over the last week. ALSO YEAH STEVEN'S HEAD SIR. He just huffs out a little laugh, though, shifting so he can pillow his head with his hands.]
Who knows? The messier things are, the more stuff you could risk leaving behind, I guess.
[ NO..... the flea needs to live. though it'd be funny that i'd be dead :') and because this will be the only time i can actually talk about this icly with a character who won't be bothered: ]
Like a human soup? Hard to find anything when you mess up a body that badly.
[ i hate how perfectly calm he is about this??? law is the worst. ]
Don't know how you'd be able to accomplish that while you're here, though.
[THE FLEA JUST KEEPS LIVING AND IT'S A TRAGEDY... Also this is so much. Yeah, Mahito does not seem bothered in the least - he just turns his head toward Law, curiosity plain on his face.]
Woah! Are you talking from experience or something? I've never seen a human soup before, hah... I bet you could do it, though! You have all the things you need, right?
[STOP TALKING ABOUT THIS SO CASUALLY. TWO QUESTIONABLE LADS.]
[ the flea should make it to end game for the laughs, honestly. BUT ALSO THIS CONVERSATION TOOK SUCH A TURN I'M SORRY???? sometimes you play a Bad Doctor Man. ]
No, not experience but it's not hard for me to imagine. I've cut up plenty of people in my time but not to that point. ...and I don't hate anyone here enough to turn them into "soup".
[ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!! also look it's hilarious and unfortunately Mahito thinks so too. God bless.]
Hah, yeah, that doesn't sound pragmatic enough for you anyway. [No boup... Tragic.] Might help to do something to the body though, so people have a harder time getting at it. Maybe toss it down the elevator shaft?
[Followed by a little shrug. He's not used to having to hide his various crimes so he's just spitballin.]
[ touches the ground and weeps... also i'm closing my eyes at this suggestion because of various reasons but it's okay?? we'll all find out on saturday. ]
It took us so long to find Steven and his body was hardly hidden; I was thinking of hopefully doing something along the same lines. If the evidence is discreet enough then we won't have to worry about it.
[closes my eyes too and just prepares to keep them closed all weekend...]
Yeah, true! Though I think that was partially 'cuz it took people so long to comb through the other crime scenes and rooms... Still, if you've already got a plan, that's a good start.
[ALL OF THEM COLLECTIVELY IGNORING KAZ IT'S FINE.]

WELL. IF HE'S GONNA BE ON THE GROUND, Mahito will join him again. Like hell is he gonna expend the extra energy!!]
Oh, no doubt. But it's a little harder to pinpoint than the stuff from before, huh?

Yeah, I figured. Now's the time if you're gonna, right? We're only going to have fewer distractions and more organization as the weeks go on.
[It's just gonna get harder and harder for any aspiring murderers out there...]
no subject
Exactly.
[ then watch us never catch anyone ever this whole game and this game will be known as 7rings: the game of scapegoats. ]
You're still going to be good on my favor, right? I'll have keep things about what happened on the downlow but I'll be looking for you when I'm done.
