he knows the risks
if he didn't want to risk it, he wouldn't agree to doing it
that's just how Bad End operates

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Without solid planning.
Yes, you've already made that clear.

[Intensity is typing. . .]

Some of the symptoms are worsening.
One person's hand was see through for a moment, though they were too out of it to realize it.

[criminaljustice]

[... fuck.]

listen
E said Mukuro said something about idols needing their units to keep from becoming the audience
Maki and A have been staying over at Bad End and other places and have had fights with their units
from what King's telling me now, Hurricane frequently stays with Nemesis somewhere and Hiryuu also has connections off-unit that she probably stays with
B also sometimes stays with other units
is there ANY commonality between those factors and Future is Now. you guys are literally the ones we're having trouble making this click into place

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

If someone doesn't come back home, it's because they spent the night at the hospital or the library, not with another unit.
So we don't match up there.
And we've been even more fucking homebodies since the last game and the whole fiasco with Dr. Moreau arriving.
So unless bitching about us not actually having scientists on the science unit is enough to dilute our "unit".
I can't think of where we would be going off-brand.

[criminaljustice]

besides the fact that you're quotating the word unit?
keep thinking on it
it's the only real lead we've got
and if it has to do with something "off-brand", then the answer's probably not something we'd think was out of the ordinary
since everyone is fucking at a loss about it

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

What do you want?
Pictures of the fucking dorm to see if anything is out of place?

[criminaljustice]

if you think fresh eyes on it might help, sure?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Pictures is what you get. Say hi to FiN (and Nine-Nine and Maki) who are all pretty much black and white except for Nine-Nine at this point.

The apartment is in it's usual state of affairs but there are more games/cards lying around plus a couch with an actual back and cranes littered every where and books from the latest FiN trip to the library.

And whoever's personal assistants are small enough to fit in the dorms.

And Kentucky. Can anyone tell if Kentucky is affected? Who knows...

So actually, it's a bit more cluttered than usual]

[criminaljustice]

[hold on a sec.

last time (first time, really) Boss was in FiN dorms, there sure wasn't that couch.

ALSO WHY THE FUCK DID YOU INVITE MAKI OVER WHEN HE FUCKING TOLD YOU THE WORKING THEORY.]

wait
that's not the furniture that was there when I was over
and both of those lists 99 sent over had that couch mentioned
when'd you upgrade?

[... wait.

pause while he looks back at the images and the sequence of events and--]

was that even an upgrade?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Because she was worried about infecting you! So now she's over here where Nine-Nine can keep an eye on everyone]

It was sometime after Moreau showed up. Our furniture is fucking atrocious.

Not sure who made the actual purchase.

[criminaljustice]

[STILL! 8(! in fact, Maki was correct and Boss is the most fuss about her rn.]

one of the lists says it was Shogun
and seriously? at least your furniture isn't threatening to fall apart when you touch it
but that aside... that's the only thing standing out to me
that, and you guys are really messy for the science unit...

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Shit.
I haven't seen Shogun since they went on a library trip a couple days ago.

[I hope he's not fucking dead somewhere]

[criminaljustice]

... i can't really throw stones here because Phoenix and Sanguine have been AWOL for a while, too
but anyway, maybe ask about the couch?

[. . .]



idk man that's the only off thing I'm seeing

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I'll send Blue Eyes to the library and see if she can find him.
Regardless, they both should be brought back to the hotel ASAP.

[criminaljustice]

hope you recover him soon
and you guys recover soon
it'd be stupid if you kicked the bucket with this

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Don't get fucking sentimental over this.

[criminaljustice]

i think i'm allowed this one time of being sentimental
when you're literally fading from existence
which is the opposite of what I want

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

They can't erase me.

[criminaljustice]

bold of you to challenge demons
always into that
see, this is why you can't just become audience
you'd be the most obnoxious one

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You must actually be unnerved.
You're being nice.
Save it for the others.
I don't need it.

[criminaljustice]

[... here he thought he always tried to be nice?]

of course i'm unnerved
like i said at the beginning
i know we're fucked if you bite it here
and it's not like i hate you enough to want this to begin with
since i don't actually, you know, hate you
besides which i'm definitely saving Maki
and she'd be pissed if i didn't help you too

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes, that is more what I was expecting.
And that's what this is about -- not hate, but expectations.
Don't confuse usefulness with camaraderie.
And don't think so poorly of me that I would fall before the reveal of the second act.
In return, I expect to see you at end game.

[criminaljustice]

considering that that was always the case
I guess you're right
you'll be fine
and this will be just another thing to laugh maniacally about
which, by the way, you do have quite the laugh

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Start acting normally.
Or I'm blocking you.

[criminaljustice]

define "normally"
