romance and murder go so well together

[capyper]

[ If the colorful posters from Tuesday weren't enough, Yato has redoubled his efforts for today and slapped these up all over the place:



We are admittedly not entirely sure what the heck the catgirl is there for, but she's there. Anyway, in the dining hall this evening, Aqua and Yato have set things up for a group dinner!! All the food is being put on one table; the rest of the room is for mingling and is colorfully decorated in a way that suggests that Yato went wild in the art room at some point and decided what we all really need in our lives is more color and more glitter!!

There's also this piece of paper with everybody's names on it in pairs, and sets of questions (red tab at the bottom of the spreadsheet). That's right, your mystery game is speed-dating and Yato is here to be your cupid for the evening!! ]

Nothing immediately comes to mind. I'm satisfied with my life as it is.

...boring, I know.

[garudynamic]

No, that's actually really nice. Not very many people can say that.

[cherryblooded]

[Let's see, a different column...]

'Your house, containing everything you own, catches fire. After saving your loved ones and pets, you have time to safely make a final dash to save any one item. What would it be? Why?'

[He's also definitely reciting here.]

[garudynamic]

Oh, shit.

[He actually has to think on this]

Probably my headphones. I mean, assuming I didn't already have them on.

[cherryblooded]

Do they have sentimental value?

[You can always just buy more... although he has no idea how expensive they are.]

[garudynamic]

Yeah, sorta. They've been through a LOT with me. All that tv stuff and god fighting, all of it. I mean, I have more expensive pairs but...

[He touches his ear, frowning]

I feel kinda naked without them.

[cherryblooded]

Always a chance they'll pop out of the vending machine one day. I'll keep an eye out for you.

[He has so many coins. So many.]

[garudynamic]

Man I hope so. I haven't gone this long with my ears uncovered in years.

[cherryblooded]

Wear earmuffs? I have a few of those.

[garudynamic]

Heh, it's more the music. I focus better with noise.

[cherryblooded]

Can't do much about that, unfortunately. Unless I decide to pick up an instrument.

[He would absolutely play terrible music for Yosuke.]

[garudynamic]

Don't worry about it man, I've managed so far.

[cherryblooded]

Actually... even if you did get your headphones and music player, we'd have to worry about batteries. Do they have those in the storage room?

[garudynamic]

Well, if the charger comes with it I could just plug it in... but that's if the Kingmaker is that nice.

[cherryblooded]

When can we use the words 'Kingmaker' and 'nice' in the same sentence?

[garudynamic]

Maybe Sigrun or Stan can talk him into giving a compatible charger. You know, if it's even in there.

[cherryblooded]

They'd have better luck than I would. I'd just get passive-aggressive with him.

[garudynamic]

Yeeeah, all I've really done is yell at him.

[cherryblooded]

...Did end up asking for that hot tub. He said he'd consider it.

[garudynamic]

...actually. If it does show up that might prove something I've been thinking about.

[cherryblooded]

What's on your mind?

[garudynamic]

Well... I was checking out some stuff near the stairs. And how the floors are laid out. Isn't something weird about them? Like how the walls and ceiling are fitting together? Or why we have the two laundry rooms?

I'm not sure what it all means, but if the Kingmaker is able to just make anything for us on new floors... it might explain some of the weirdness here. That he might be, I dunno, making things on the fly instead of just supply things?

[cherryblooded]

It does seem strange. If there was really no way to get out ourselves, then there'd be no way to restock the fridge, or to bring in anything new... unless the Kingmaker doesn't need to bring anything in from outside.

[garudynamic]

Exactly! Might be why I had no luck following the piping or vents last week too. But it's still a REALLY vague theory... and after the last one... I'm not ready to really bring it out in a meeting yet.

[cherryblooded]

[Yeah, that sure went well for Yosuke, didn't it.]

If a hot tub does show up, I'll bring it up to the others. If not - we'll just keep it in mind, I suppose.
