[WEEK 4: Friday, post-investigation, room 112 probably; Yukina, Jay, Girge, Tsurugi]

[nowyouseeit]

[and sometime, after the commotion from the explosion and the investigation die down, Girge is once again approached by three familiar faces. they all look pretty serious, and they lead him back to Kaito's room-- Room 112]

[their official Hunter's meeting room]

Oi.

[he says, once the door is closed. his gaze is steady, not once flickering away from Girge. he seems very decided about something]

We know what we want to do.

Comments

[nowyouseeit]

[Kaito echoes his fellow Hunters' sentiment with a nod]

But I understand if they'd rather keep their identity a secret for now. We are, after all, supposedly "enemies."

[he says that last party wryly]

[disinterested]

[Girge is just

casually walking towards the mirror.]

Should I go find them, in that case?

[thawedheart]

That would be a good idea, but...

[give her a moment]

...Girge-san, the door is over there...?

[ninjay]

[ jay just

looks around at the other hunters all, "what the shit???" ]

[nowyouseeit]

[also looks at the others like WHAT THE SHIT??]

[before he remembers]

-- the portals!

[disinterested]

[wow what if Girge's just there to admire his reflection in the mirror??





nah jk yeah he disappears bye]

[thawedheart]

...

[well that

that sure happened]

[ninjay]

Well. One mystery solved, I guess.

[ who was expecting that ]

[nowyouseeit]

[NOT KAITO]

Yeah, not that it was at the top of my "mysteries we've gotta solve this soon" list.

[disinterested]

[After some time (Girge will be nice and won't make them wait for too long), Girge and a certain other person walk through the door like the normal, non-psycho killers they are.

no I'm just kidding about that too Girge's shoving the other guy through the mirror.]

[shoelickingshit]

[ THANKS GIRGE.

But guess who is here... It's the one and only Tsurugi who gets shoved into this room. He'll stick his landing though this time, unlike the stairs. :/ ]

Wow, Girge-chan you don't have to be so rough!

[ Looks at the room.

Looks at everyone.

Hmmmm. Sees Yukina.

HMMMMMMMMMMMM. MMMMMMMMMMMM. ]

OH.. NO.... YUKI-CHAN... I'M SO SORRY. I DIDN'T KNOW YOU'D BE IN HERE... I'M REALLY, REALLY SORRY! I'LL DO ANYTHING.

[ Bowing to her, making the room very awkward maybe? Yes. Hello. ]

[thawedheart]

...what?

[well that is

much more of an overreaction than she was expecting, she's confused as hell]

[ninjay]

Are you kidding me... so it was you!

[ this is literally not how jay expected this day to go, oh my god. ]

[nowyouseeit]

[oh]

[my]

[god???]

Can you at least pretend you have a little bit of dignity?!

[disinterested]

[um]

... Wow. What did you do to him, Yukina?

im (not) sorry

[shoelickingshit]

I'll do anything! I'll be your slave and everything! I'll even lick your shoes, or you can step on me, or abuse me all you want! I swear!!!

[ HE HAS NO DIGNITY ]

You're not mad are you!?

[thawedheart]

I didn't...?

[She's just as confused as any of them? But as Tsurugi rambles on and on, something occurs to her, crouching down in front of him where he's bowing so she can look him right in the eye.]

...did you lie to me about your role?

[shoelickingshit]

[ uhmmmmmmm ]

About the name, yes. About what my item can do- no!

[ninjay]

We thought the third Prophet would be the Solider, since Mira claimed that was hers at the trial.

[ he actually gives girge a sympathetic look because IS THIS WHO HE HAS BEEN WORKING WITH THIS WHOLE TIME rip ]

[shoelickingshit]

You're right! That's me!

[thawedheart]

Lying isn't very nice, Tsurugi-san. I may have to deduct a few gems from your fee.

[But she's... smiling??]

[shoelickingshit]

[ :( ]

Can I get them back by being your slave?! The offer is still on the table, I'll do anything, Yuki-chan!

[ please? ]

Look, I had no choice but to lie! You have to understand from my perspective, righttt?

[disinterested]

And I agreed with you, didn't I?

[After the trial, that is. Though "agreed" might be the wrong word when he... knew that it was the Soldier...

also yeah feel sorry for him because Tsurugi has been the biggest mess among the prophets all this time.]

[ninjay]

Ha ha.

[nowyouseeit]

[good lord you guys. lifts his uninjured hand to rub his temples]

So. . . was Aloy right when she guessed that the Soldier's statue can talk?
