Date, I did say quite early on that he put me on edge.
I agreed with you pretty early on, you don't get to play smart and superior now. He's like a 1/10 by the way, thinking about it.
I do not know what you are thinking about.
[ urk. ]
Anyway. Shocking that the guy pretending his gun was a pet fish took a stab at securing his invite. And it worked. [ francy must be fuming that she didn't get caught... sorry francy, we gave aki death over you. ]
Yeah, he was at the top of my list of likely killers ever since that goldfish thing.
[ he's still a little smug about calling four and ryo as the most likely future killers when he talked to rynlan about it after the first trial. he knows a disaster when he sees one. ]
We had so little evidence from that case that there wasn't much reason to suspect him for that one in particular, though.
He didn't exactly hide it. And his memories were-- [ disturbing! ]... he was very calm for someone experiencing the kind of stuff I saw in both his and Akira's memories -- zero. Zero out of ten, I'm pretty sure he doesn't have anything.
[ STOP ]
It is not as though there is much to be done about it. We did not investigate that case particularly well.
[ he is not saying shit. aiba just looks at him, and then twirls her umbrella. ]
I would hazard a guess he is rating--
[ there's a scramble as date grabs for his phone to find the mute button and aiba tries to smack him in the hand with the tiny little cocktail umbrella. who needs television? ]
[ i am being so self indulgent rn i am sorry. thank you for your patience.
anyway there's just an entire yakety sax scene going on over here now as date slams the mute button on the phone and drops it on the table with a "ha".
aiba just stares at him for a moment.
before grabbing the phone and running out of date's reach-- which means he can't do shit to stop her holding up the phone with a message on it instead. ]
he snickers at the message but doesn't seem too surprised by the answer. he'd kind of figured it was boobs before ryo and akira got pulled into it, and this isn't that far off. ]
I see!
That's what you get for giving her a 2, I suppose.
[ also that’s his aibestie? don’t make it weird. ]
I am very confident in my cuteness levels.
Although it certainly seems a lot of people brought a lot of surprising creatures with them. More than we had initially imagined — including multiple AIs.
Maybe we should be more concerned so many people died with their pets alongside them.
It's a little weird, right? Though maybe it worked differently with ones that were received as rewards later on. Did they have to die to get here too? Are all of Itto's beetles dead?
Maybe they’re replicas? Like… dead beetles? Hell beetles? …. [ he’s thinking. ] I hate to say it, but at least an 8.
[ he is just out here. ]
Perhaps it is a technicality. I am not “alive” but I am here anyway. However, technically my data was at risk and the electric current may have contributed to me being considered “dead”.
I can assure you that I absolutely did not have a body pillow with me while I was speaking at a government press conference, at least. But I don't know, maybe it's different for animals and other companions.
