[ it's been about an hour or so after hige leaves the party, which grune assumes is enough time to let the genjis do their own thing before she decides that's? enough of that?
so she'll fetch hiza, pulling him by the arm until they come across wherever hige is. ]
[he sure has wandered out to the deck of the boat?? no reason
but he's going to glance back over his shoulder when the two of them approach him. i'm sorry but he already changed out of his costume because he couldn't handle it.]
[He hurriedly closes the distance between him and Higekiri once he and Grune come closer. Without hesitation, he loops his arms around Higekiri's shoulders and hugs the brother to himself.]
I'm sorry about Dimitri-san, elder brother. It was my fault...
but he'll blink when he's suddenly in an embrace?? his reaction is a little bit slow, like he's surprised at the contact despite the fact that he also hugs people when they're sad - but he'll wrap his arms around hizamaru anyway]
... no, that's not true. I woke up as well, but I did not think about where he may be going, or that it was odd.
[but also like
he'll hold on hand out to grune in case she would also
[well, they're all in their room now. higekiri actually rather dislikes how it feels without dimitri even still... but it seems that he's feeling a bit better today, for whatever reason!
he'll actually bring out something to place it on the table in their room? it appears to be one of his instant camera sheets, and it is a picture of a notebook entry.]
I could not take the entire notebook, but Kanesan-san-chan allowed me to take this. It is from when he was exploring last week with you and Tamamo, brother. [to make our lives easier, he's looking at grune for this]
Aside from that, I suppose I've been looking for additional people who might possess the abilities and skills that were granted by this place. Kanesan-san-chan has an ability that has to do with being able to read words that are indecipherable to the rest of us. Nikori is the messenger for the departed, I believe. Nightfeather will receive clues about our situation in exchange for purchases at the gift shop. Escha, when she was with us, could protect someone from exorcism each week. Her Lordship um... [he pulls up the clamshell to check names] Oh. Edelgard also possesses a protective ability, though she keeps it close to the chest on exactly what it is.
Junpei also possesses an ability [that pc is still going why wasn't it a dead end, work with me here] and so does our brother. There is no confirmation on how many are still alive... but I am currently working with the assumption of twelve. Of the people I've asked, Junpei and Kanesan-san-chan know that I've told you. [otherwise hige seemed so sure that he'll be forgiven that he didn't ask for permission]
Of those who do not possess abilities, Wukiri and Tamamo do not, but said they would assist me. Oh - but you might remember that Kanesan-san-chan is asking for writing samples... [he's looking at hizamaru now] and so I've asked Wukiri to help, since I don't write very much.
[so like. he couldn't help anyway,]
Currently, it seems as though you cannot ask for favors or items from the resurrected that would mimic an existing ability. So no items that can protect someone, unfortunately... Additionally, there have been new hints that the answer is apparently within the ruins, and the ship is currently circling around an invisible island, and we do not know how to change trajectory
[weird]
So that leaves six people that I am looking for, who may still have additional abilities or roles. I'd also like to keep you both alive, no matter the cost.
[Yeah, okay, like he wasn't fucking brocon enough already, and then Higekiri shows up being wildly amazing with a shit ton of info that... of course gets dumped right on top of him.
Anyway, gently, injections:] Kanesada-san. Nikkari-san. Nightwing-san. [Because. Just... Higekiri should hear them anyway.]
Yes, I spoke with Kanesada-san... He told me about the note he had received, the one he could read when no one else could. It had a strange message. Something about... docking? [He pauses, thoughtful.] Doxxing... He asked Junpei-san what it meant. I also asked him about the note Tonbokiri-san and I received, but... he didn't know anything about it.
I gave him one of the napkins Prompto-san wrote on... but Prompto-san isn't the person who wrote Kanesada-san's note. Tonbokiri-san and my letter wasn't written by hand...
[He squints at the photo Higekiri had taken. Nothing makes sense? Why are they ye olde.]
I'm still confused by Muzet-san from our last meeting... About her being ill. Do you think she may have a role, elder brother? [A pause.] ...are the "shoes" like the ones Tonbokiri-san and I received?
[ grune is, admittedly, slightly distracted through some of this, but she seems to be following along for all of the important bits, probably. ]
... there's something I need to say, but I kind of need you to ask me about it first.
[ she's
not sure how they'd get to this specific thing though, but anyway. ]
And I'm still a little concerned about the thing about a person being left behind? Junpei did say it seems like we're repeating... um... what were we repeating? [ ... ] Oh well.
[higekiri looks thoughtful at that, glancing between hizamaru and grune]
... well, I have a guess as to who Kanesan-san-chan's note is from, but I will ask first before I confirm it. I'm not quite sure about the shoes either... it may also be the ones that were in the gift shop before Nikori purchased them.
And Junpei had said that he thinks we are repeating what happened here before - so there is a chance that a great number will be killed this week.
[as for the other thing that grune seems to be thinking about -
higekiri blinks]
Perhaps we should discern what needs to be said first and foremost, though...
Did you find out something new since the last we spoke, brother?
[it's a family lunch???? yea we're going to do this over lunch as higekiri slurps up his ramen]
The numbers have adjusted - it appears as though roles will transfer once someone who previously held one is deceased. Therefore Kanesan-san-chan's role has transferred to someone new this week and I intend to find them. Aside from his, there are two other roles that I still haven't located.
Of the ones we know...
[he pulls up his clamshell]
It is our brother, Shiraishi, and Her Lordship who possess protective roles... I need to ask who the other two might be protecting this week, but I would like to see Kagachi safe - and our brother has already agreed to look after him if need be. [to grune:] Thank you brother.
Nikori is able to meet with one of the departed once per week - and this week he will speak with Kanesan-san-chan.
Nightbone received new clues last week - though they continue to be as though they are messages left behind by those who were here before. Junpei and Kagachi are both working closely with him. Kagachi may pick one person a week in order to see if the demon is within them. Junpei is able to pick others to see if they might hold a role.
Um... Beck also possesses a role - she makes choices each week and then some might receive gifts for them. She is not always aware of the effect that comes from her choices.
Taako also possesses a role, but it is not the one that sends notes. Uh... Abernathy also possesses a role, but I do not know what it is.
I will have to check with um... Wukiri and Tamamo this week in order to see if they might've inherited Kanesan-san-chan's role, otherwise I will inquire with the others remaining. In sum, the primary target for this week is I am searching for three people with roles.
Mm. [He looks over himself. He has the usually down sleeve pulled up over his shoulder thankfully, but he's wearing it. The black tank top is missing unfortunately.] This one.
[please playing out an entire threesome with two airheads and one hiza sounds like so much work please assume they managed to make it work somehow for bingo
anyway higekiri will just be flopping on his stomach afterward]
Oh...
Zero also possesses a role. It is one that requires making choices and they result in items.
Even so, I am still searching for the last two.
[rl kicking me in the face means that hige gets slowed down and that's fine tbh]

like to get in on the cuddle pile]
no subject
she'll shuffle over, taking higekiri's hand once she's properly close enough to do so. ]
I think we could find dozens of ways to blame ourselves for what happened. That doesn't mean we should.
no subject
[He straightens up a bit and lowers one of his arms when Higekiri reaches out and Grune comes in. The lowered arm wraps around Grune's back.]
The black miasma... It was... the same, like the demon I fought. The one that... escaped.

[FEAR.
He exchanges a glance between Grune and Higekiri, brows together. And then he follows Higekiri's line of questioning to Grune.
???]
no subject
[ hm. there's a pause. ]
Well, at this exact moment it doesn't really matter, so we can try at another time.
But for being left behind, there were notes where someone said something about someone being left behind. There wasn't any other context though.
no subject
but he nods - he heard that before. but regardless he'll keep questioning]
At this exact moment... Is it because it is already the night that the demon attacks?
no subject
[He looks between the two of them.]
Every Thursday, Thot roams.

[He's just here wilting for some of it, though. And gently correcting Higekiri with murmured, "Nikkari," and "Nightwing," and "Edelgard," etc. etc.]
I still do not possess one, so... Perhaps Wei Wuxian-san and Tamamo-san have it. [A pause.] Beck-san...? Is that where the outfit came from...?
