Take...Responsibility?

[kingmakereffect]

Unlike previous weeks in the Vault, there was no specifically allotted time for investigation; for the first time, this weekend the elevator doors remain closed at the end of the first floor corridor. There's no getting down into the courtroom from here – but then, you don't need to. After all, no one is dead. Just the same, however, a crime has been committed; perhaps not one that warrants any sort of death penalty, but one of your number was attacked by someone else still walking among you. The dining hall has been chosen as the allotted meeting place for the day; it's not the same as the trial circle by a long shot, but even so, the portraits of the deceased watch the proceedings from the far wall. Ten Survivors still remain. Let's see who wanted to lower that number by one – or nine.

[ ....YOU KNOW HE'S SORT OF BEEN MEANING TO ASK ANYWAY?? ]

Why do you carry those around all the time?

[garudynamic]

Cuz I have experience in throwing knives out of my sleeves. If I didn't die in one sneak attack whoever tried it is bleeding too.

[penduli]

[ oh. ]

That's pretty cool. Maybe you can show me sometime? [ ....UH. ] Hopefully without the bleeding part..?

[garudynamic]

Oh sure! I know a few knife tricks actually!

[He does flip out one of the butterflys and flicks it open without even looking- like a greaser about to threaten someone]

[penduli]

[ ...like a delinquent... ]

Were they worth all the injuries I'm sure you sustained while you were mastering them?

[garudynamic]

[Pout]

Most of them.

[He moves to close it and drops it, point into the table]

...

Not a word.

[penduli]

[ ......okay, no words

but he's covering his mouth to try and stifle some laughter ]

[garudynamic]

I hate you a lot.

[penduli]

I didn't even say anything—!

[ ...which would be more effective if he wasn't laughing, granted, BUT ANYWAY— ]

[garudynamic]

You didn't have to!

[penduli]

[ AAHhhhhh goodness

leaning over so he can talk a little softer ]

Stuff like that's why I like you though, you know.

[ ......haha those three words sure do take on another meaning after the whole kiss thing don't they, friends ]

[garudynamic]

[he turns pink and leans over too]

You're so weird.

[Juggling knives and NOT failing is supposed to get you attention, not failing at it!]

[penduli]

I don't think it's that weird to find clumsiness cute. [ or endearing. ]

[garudynamic]

[Huff]

If you say so...

[That's a shoujo protag trait damn it!]
