[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.

[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?

[thawedheart]

You can earn them back by helping us save everyone here.

[so she'll. take him up on the slave thing?

i'm so sorry]

[shoelickingshit]

[ small gasp... ]

I won't let you down, Yuki-chaaan.♥

[thawedheart]

I'll be counting on you.

[don't let her down, Tsurugi]

[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?

[disinterested]

Yes and no.

[But he'll leave it to Tsurugi to reveal the details of his role, if he wants to.]

[shoelickingshit]

Yep! I have to ask it questions, but it talks back to us!

[thawedheart]

What kind of questions have you asked it so far?

[disinterested]

Nothing important [tsurugi if you tell them a certain question he will murder you], unless you think that Abigail being the Unclean's secretary is fascinating info.

[shoelickingshit]

[ Stares at girge................ Fine. ]

We also asked- well, Girge-chan did, to see if it was okay to help you guys and all that. Nothing much!

[disinterested]

As goes without saying, she's fine with it.

... As long as I still do my job, of course.

[disinterested]

[To the Hunters:]

I wouldn't recommend it, by the way. The Unclean is a pretty finicky conversationalist.

[all those brainfreezes....... especially for tsurugi, the unloved murderchild]

[nowyouseeit]

[s-snorts]

I guess if I were an all powerful god running a murder game for some kinda ritual, I'd be finicky, too.
