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!! ]

Glad you do then! Otherwise I might have sounded just a tad more silly then I wanted to. [It goes without saying that it's getting difficult to put trust in the others around here. It just ended up in other's dying, right?

mrrgh. He couldn't give up hope that easily. Especially not at such a cute little event!]

Oh, guess I should then. [How about another of those questions on this paper...]

"When did you last sing to yourself?"

[devastation]

Sing? My... I honestly can't remember. It's been quite a while since I last did that...

[Probably not helped by spending weeks in lol murdervault.]

...Ah, but sometimes I do that when I have the radio on in my car? I tend to have it off when I'm driving to work, but every once in a while I'll listen and sing along to some music on the way back home...

[isafraid]

[there's those words again, 'car' and 'radio' and such. By this point, it's better if Speedwagon just smiles and nods, now isn't it?]

Splendid answer. [nodnod smile] Granted, I still can't really picture what a car or a radio might look like but that's hardly the point.

I suppose now you can ask me another?

[devastation]

[We'll have to fix that somehow when we get out of this place...]

Oh, yes! [Hm...] What would you consider to be the perfect day for you?

[isafraid]

[Yes, show him the wonders of a car, Megumi. It's his destiny.]

A perfect day then...? Well I would say that would need [not being here for starters] enough food and money to my name that I wouldn't have to worry about it for a day.

[...His gaze dips away from Megumi for a moment. Maybe he said more then he should have?]

I would have the nicest rest in my life.

[devastation]

[and then post murder game Megumi has to offer driving lessons due to being one of the very few people who knows what a car is, let alone how to drive one]

Oh, I see... [That's a little sad, Speedwagon. Still, she tries to offer a reassuring smile.] ...But, I'm sure that you'll be able to have a day like that soon, once we're able to leave this place.

[We just have to do our best to find a way out of here, and then everything will get better for all of us.]

[isafraid]

[Yes.... post murdergame...]

Yes. [It's plenty sad, but he appreciates her attempts to cheer him up? He's fine. Everything's fine. People keep dying so he has to be fine.]

I'll be glad to learn it after we can all get out of this nightmare. And, truthfully, I believe we can.
