[ GOJOU WISHES HE CAN ALSO LOOK INTO THE CAMERA. Anyway, they're in his room. A True Safe Space. ]

Nope. Still think he's dangerous and it would have been better to take him out before he does some freaky horror murder cases. Like... I don't know. Create his own human centipede? Nothing personal, good riddance.

[ Despite that, Gojou seems... Oddly irritated. Annoyed. Frustrated. ]

[fergalicious]

[ She doesn't seem surprised or bothered by his opinion. Despite how she thought and felt about both him and Mahito, she can accept that they're enemies.

She makes a face at human centipede, though. She does not wan to see that. ]

No. I know you still think he deserves to die or be dead. I meant, did you decide to be more active about it?

[ Instead of passive. ]

[mukagen]

[ that moment when everything Gojou has said is actually... true. mahito love the centipede. ]

And risk getting caught and executed?

[ His opinion is still the same as ever. He sighs. ]

Voting him off is easier and safer.

[fergalicious]

[ I can see Mahito loving the human centipede and so can Medb. She doesn't know the movie, but she can make a guess by the name.

She hums. ]

I wouldn't have voted for you, if you did.

[ But that doesn't guarantee anyone else. ]

Did you ask other people to vote for him, too?

[mukagen]

Thanks, queen. I'm glad you understand my situation. [ fuck mahito gross stinnky curse. ] I did, though only a few. One of them is dead.

[ loooooooooool. ]

If they influenced or shared to other people, then that's out of my hands.

[fergalicious]

[ She actually likes Mahito a fair amount? She just also likes Gojou, too, and doesn't want more people she likes dead than necessary. She's selfish. That's not news. ]

Lenore?

[ Since... he had puncture marks on his neck, didn't he? ]

[mukagen]

Yeah. I think we were getting along, too...

[ Since he was trying to make more friends after watches his cr die back to back. ]

It's going to be a tough trial tomorrow.

[fergalicious]

[ Ah.

She reaches up to cup his cheek. This seems to be a common gesture between them now. ]

Mm. Yeah. Three is a lot, and we've been here long enough.

[ Any death will lead to someone being upset. ]

[mukagen]

[ And, as usual, he leans to the touch, allowing her to cup it. ]

It is... I hope we catch them, but I do have a worry that I'll become a scapegoat. I wasn't discreet in my dislike for him, after all.

[fergalicious]

[ She can't completely disagree with that. He's also been voted second two weeks in a row.

She frowns. ]

I'll defend you, if I have to.

[mukagen]

The truth is, I didn't actually hate the guy. He was cool to hang out with once in a while when he didn't try to kill me, but I'm not going to disillusion myself into thinking him liking me means he wouldn't go for my throat if he had a chance.

[ Grumble, grumble. Mahito. Why did you have to die? They were just going to vote for you??? And see from there?? ]

... Thank you. [ ... ] It's weird to say that. It's nice to hear.

[fergalicious]

I think he liked most people here on some base level.

[ Mahito really just seemed to vibe in one way or another.

Medb isn't going to point out that getting him out through vote meant that someone would've had to go against him in execution, but it's fine since it's no longer something that can happen? She supposes. ]

Do you not say thank you often?

[ Or does he not hear things that he can say thank you to often? ]

[mukagen]

[ me signing myself up to execute mahito

Either way, he has considered the execution, too. No use to talk about it now that people are... Dead. Very dead. Aoi and Lenore being gone saddens him and his thoughts wander, until.

Oh. His stuttering made it difficult to understand. ]

No, I meant that it's weird to say that I was happy to hear you would defend me.

[ This time stronger words. ]

[fergalicious]

[ yeah, unfortunately, i would sign up and then put "i would step aside for stronger cr"

Oh. She tilts her head to the side. ]

Why is it weird to say that?

[mukagen]

[ ara and i shaking hands. He rubs his neck a bit, though his fingers curl right after. ]

I know a couple of people have said they're going to look out for me, but I think it still gets me every time? No one says that at home. So... It's weird! Weird to hear it, weird to acknowledge it... Respond to it.

[ Because... He is who he is. ]

[fergalicious]

[ If he doesn't pull away, she will pull him down a little to kiss him on the cheek. ]

You can be really obnoxious, but you're likeable. Obviously, if there are other people who say that.

Maybe you're even more obnoxious at home, or maybe people need to be less stupid about your reputation.

[mukagen]

[ Gojou accepts the cheek kiss, goes as far as to return it, and stays quiet because... His reputation is fat. It doesn't blame people at home for believing he has everything handled. But maybe she's right?

Anyway, he snorts. ]

Maybe I am more obnoxious at home! [ ... ] Are you still hiding whatever you're hiding with your hair?

[fergalicious]

[ She is not! Enough happened last night that she's less reluctant in showing what happened to her face.

Still, she sighs and shifts so he can get a better look. ]

I'm going back in to make it go away.

[ But there's a heart-shaped scar on her face. It's off-center and covers the majority of the right side of her face. It cuts through her eye, and she can currently only half-see through that eye. ]

[mukagen]

[ He tilts his head to look at it, though he doesn't make any comment since he's sure it might insult her in some way. Not even going to touch it. Instead, he merely brushes some of her hair away with a smile. Good that she's feeling confident. ]

Another jump in will be good for you. [ ... He supposes he should be honest with her since they're on injuries. ] I woke up to some wounds, too. Except I don't know where they came from.

[fergalicious]

[ She really wouldn't be herself if she didn't have her confidence for long. It's such a tenant to her character.

She blinks and then frowns. ]

... That isn't a good look for you. You really might get voted for at this rate. What kind of wounds are they?

[mukagen]

It really isn't... It's not like we were able to really pin people down for powers—or I must have been knocked out so hard by those lights and the video that I didn't feel anything they did to me.

[ He massages his temples then goes to get the camera. ]

A friend bandaged them up for me, but I have pictures of it for people to reference tomorrow.

[ Taking a seat, he shows her. As she gets closer, she will notice a single, very shallow cut stretches across his neck on the front that shows above his sweater. In the photos he shows, there are various and numerous cut wounds concentrated on his upper body, a few bruises like he's been punched. Defensive, blocking slices on his arms, and a few haphazard slices across his back and sides. On his left side, there's "100 <3" partially cut, and partially scratched into his skin. ]

[fergalicious]

What? Where did you sleep last night?

[ That does not sound great? What lights? What video? Gojou?

But she looks at these photos. That's quite a lot. ]

Huh. I wonder who these got transferred from. If they're from whoever went after Mahito, this is... quite the frame job. You really have been singled out, if so.

[mukagen]

Library. You know, the video that usually plays on the TV in each room and in the hallway on the night the doors lock? Same one.

[ UNLESS I AM REMEMBERING THIS WRONG. i thought it was always a thing. If not, just.... shoot me. And yeah, there is a lot. ]

... There was a surge of emotions when I woke up, too. It was quite a spiral and I would say it's possible that it's from Mahito because it was a wild ride, but I know people go into a frenzy when they're facing or dealing death.

There is something off about it. I don't know if it's off because they aren't my emotions or if there's a different tint to them.

[fergalicious]

Oh. I thought you meant something else.

[ YOU ARE NOT REMEMBERING WRONG. I THOUGHT YOU MEANT A CURFEW EFFECT AND WAS LIKE ???

She looks thoughtful, as she considers that. ]

What did you feel?

[mukagen]

Hm... At first it felt like distaste? Like they were disgusted. Got surprised, angry, then things started to scramble. I think it's panic, but it doesn't last long. Suddenly there's mild intrigue, like they're curious—they're composed again, but there's something weird about it. I think they're annoyed.

... Adrenaline. They love the thrill of fighting. It's almost primal, but that annoyed feeling is still there. They're very frustrated, then a hint of fear. Tired... Amused.

Yielding, peace? But then sadness, regrets, questions.

[ ISN'T THAT A ROLLER COASTER. ]

I want to say I'm pretty sure it's Mahito because of the feral part, but.

[ Shrugs. He knows there are people that love to fight here, too. ]
