Fifth Investigation

[parasomniacs]

Week 6

Friday

[ Another week, another death... with last week's mistake still fresh in their minds, how will they fare this time around? Will the weight of it crush them or will they find themselves refined into sharp, clear diamonds? An answer is nigh-- because once more an eerie silence fills the hotel. That feeling that something's just not right may be familiar to them by now. They may sense it...

...that someone had decided that there is an injustice in the world worth killing for.

Although it may take them some time to deduce this-- they will find that the source of the ground and first floor levels of the hotel. It is not immediately obvious but some may get the sense that they are being watched. No doubt Sheepy will be watching them during their investigation and making sure things go by the books. ]

Got it.

The other thing I'm wondering is why you came back here immediately - you have a reason to think you'd be a suspect today?

[inordertobelieve]

The same as Leo last week. I received an item and all previous suspects have had the same happen to them.

[ 'The same as Leo' is probably not a good omen right now, all things considered, but oh well. ]

[devilsnight]

[Oh, good, we've gotten that shit out of the way.]

What'd you end up getting? For curiosity's sake.

[inordertobelieve]

One of those cameras.

[ Because there can't be enough cameras around Mikami somehow?? ]

[devilsnight]

...That is a hell of a lot of irony, friend.

[He isn't even aware of the eight thousand camera incidents surrounding you, he just knows that Keenan had one and passed it to you and then fuckery ensued.]

You willing to at least tell me what your motive picture looked like this week, or would you prefer we not?

[That's an unfair question, probably, and he damn well knows it, but seriously, fuck the motives? Because they work for some reason.]

[inordertobelieve]

[ Cameras are indeed... pretty damn terrible to Mikami and he rolls his eyes at that comment. ]

That's rather private, I'm sure you're aware.

[ Surprisingly, he's going to answer anyway though. Too bad it's cryptic. ]

My own broken glasses from middle school.

[devilsnight]

[No, that's actually...it's not telling, exactly, but it's interesting, and his expression goes kind of strange for a brief moment before he shakes it off, fussing a little with his gloves as he does so.]

Oh, I'm damn well aware that it's private. That's kinda the problem with this sort of shit.

[...Anyway.]

...I'm going to be writing all this shit down for the sake of submitting it; you gonna want to see it first?

[inordertobelieve]

[ Top Dollar writing? Hell must be freezing over. ]

Yes, certainly.

[ He'd have submitted an own paper if Top Dollar hadn't let him see his. ]

[devilsnight]

[Listen. He doesn't like having copies of his handwriting just floating around, all right, it's just bad practice.]

All right, then. If I think of anything else, I'll ask you later.

[inordertobelieve]

You can.

[ He'd say 'It wasn't me, I can assure you' but he also figures this goes without saying entirely. ]

[devilsnight]

[Honestly, you'd say that even if it was you, so it's not like it'd mean anything even if you did say it.

Anyway, here you go. It's not particularly flattering or well-done, but yeah.]

[inordertobelieve]

[ Mikami frowns intensely as he looks that over, but in the end accepts it without protest. It... gets the job done. ]
