[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.

The Operator said that their phone rings, and... she hears people die. The Private Eye has also been placing their recording device around the motel... they caught bits of last week's killing.

I don't know where it was hidden this week.

But between the two of them, they're bound to figure out any discrepancies regarding the times of death... and depending on what they hear, they may even be able to determine a killer's identity.

[disinterested]

Interesting.

Well, as I've told you before, the Prophets will most likely win, even if Tsurugi and I die. You three are the one fighting with higher stakes.

In any case, what are their identities?

[thawedheart]

...Hajime-san is the Operator.

[SORRY, HAJIME]

Other members of the group include... Percival-san, the Doctor, and Heather-san, the Lawbringer. Jay-san also confirmed that Chie-san is a part of it and told him about it, too.

[disinterested]

Hmm. Maybe we should've killed Hajime this week instead, since she was on the list the Unclean gave us.

Oh well.

[nowyouseeit]

[-- wait]

The Unclean gives you lists?

[disinterested]

Yeah. Half the time, we can't be bothered to pick the victims on your own, so we just ask who's boring her and she tells us.

[thawedheart]

...

[That's. Kind of cruel, actually. What the heck, Unclean.]

Who else was on the list...?

[disinterested]

Hibiki and Vincent in week two. Third week, Mira had already decided on her victims, so there was no need.

This week, Seto, Aloy, and Hajime. So, nothing of interest. She did suggest to Tsurugi that he murder a child, however, if he wanted an easy kill.

[except Girge nope'd at killing Mabel so]

[nowyouseeit]

. . .

Has my name appeared on the list?

[disinterested]

No. Congratulations, you're interesting enough for the Unclean. That, or she didn't want to make it easy for us by siccing us on a Hunter.

[nowyouseeit]

[he exhales deeply in relief]

That's kinda surprising, considering how irritated she seemed when we discovered your identity through our ritual on Monday.

[disinterested]

[An amused sound escapes him.]

Your meetings sound more interesting than ours. The only notable thing that happens is Tsurugi getting objects dropped on his head.

[nowyouseeit]

We regularly cut off body parts in order to check people's roles.

[HE SAYS]

[SO CASUALLY]

Those fingers and teeth at the front desk? Haa. . .

[disinterested]

... Wow. You guys are starting to seem more like the villains than us. We just cut ourselves to spill blood.

[nowyouseeit]

Don't worry.

They grow back.

[also said casually HE'S SO DESENSITIZED TO IT AT THIS POINT]

[disinterested]

Well.

I did notice that, yes.
