Don't make such a creepy face. . .

I'm sure as I can be--meaning, that's what I want to believe. But as far as I know, it wouldn't make sense for 'em to be. Too many people coming and going. The folks that have been here the longest are on Echidna, and they're not really on the same level as us.

[at least not until the last game when they get fired but shhh this convo takes place before that, probably]

[lieindespair]

[ He grins and snickers at his discomfort. Yep. Definitely feeling better. ]

I guess so. The hierarchy thing doesn't make much sense but whatever.

But at any rate, I just want to make sure you're gonna actually stick to your guns and kill them if given the chance. Someone like that doesn't deserve to be forgiven or given an opportunity to fix things.

[truthliesinspace]

How you can say that with such a big grin is wild.

And I know what needs to be done. Even if I don't plan on staying here forever, there's people I want to protect. I'm not gonna let them make puppets out of us anymore.

[lieindespair]

I've said worse with bigger. Don't act like you're surprised.

[ Kaito's resolve gets a rather curious and oddly silent stare from Kokichi for a moment before the grin is back. ]

Wooow! Saying it like that, you almost got kinda sexy for a moment there! So Heroic~!

[truthliesinspace]

[opens mouth

closes mouth

opens mouth again]


I can dunk your head in the popcorn maker, y'know.

[lieindespair]

Don't flatter yourself too much. Moment's over and you're back to normal Momota-chan. Too bad. Probably better for the fabric of the universe, though. Don't need you actually stepping up and trying something you're ill-prepared for, after all.

Scary dog or not, you're still Momota-chan.

[truthliesinspace]

[?!?!]

Of course I am! Don't say that like it's an insult!!

[lieindespair]

[ He refuses to elaborate. ]

So then, tell me anything you've learned about them lately. Or about anyone who's talked to them or met them. Even if you wanna play the game, it helps to be prepared.

[truthliesinspace]

I thought you came to talk about Tsumugi, now you're drilling me for intel??

[THIS GUY!! But, he sighs and just relents. Fine, fine]

Uh. . .I don't know the details, you might have to ask someone on Echidna, but apparently the Warden might also be a monster? Like, literally--they're possessing someone else? Ruggie said this place was set up so we'd basically be uh. . .incubators for whatever's inside us.

Basically these monsters are parasites, just using our bodies til they can escape.

[lieindespair]

Huh? I thought we were done with that conversation. We determined that she's just going to live her life, I told you I felt bad, and now I want to do something.

Sheesh, I thought you'd be way more gloating of the fact that I actually poured my heart out to you.

[ He raises an eyebrow. ]

Really? That would make more sense than just pure convenience... How reliable do you think that is?

[truthliesinspace]

[kokichi moves too fast for even kaito sometimes, and the latter just stares at him in bafflement for a moment. well!! This is! progress??]

. . .right. . .though I wouldn't make fun of you for that.

And uh--I'm not sure, to be honest. A lot of folks have been doing research and the like. Ruggie's especially good at picking up info though, so I think if he believes it, it's worth banking on.

[lieindespair]

Hm... It's been a while since I've talked to the puppy... The other puppy, I mean.

You're good friends with him, aren't you? Maybe put in a good word for me? Let him know I wanna help?

[truthliesinspace]

I ain't a puppy!

And there ain't no need for that. Ruggie does what he wants, I couldn't tell him not to talk to anyone even if I tried. If you're still worried though, I think Echidna would have the most info. I remember there were some notes floating around too.

[these notes specifically, tho ICly kaito hasn't bothered to read them but all this info is IC public knowledge if ppl seek it out.]

[lieindespair]

Notes, huh? I'll have to look into it.

[ He pauses again and stares at Kaito for a moment. ]

Why didn't you think about telling me when she sprung that on you..? Did you think she wasn't gonna do it to me too?

[ Guess he's not done talking about Tsumugi after all. ]

[truthliesinspace]

[bruh. He leans back, nursing is head. Why is he like this]

C'mon, man. It wasn't my story to tell.

And what was I supposed to say? "Hey, man, Tsumugi is the mastermind that killed all of us, hear her out for me?"

[lieindespair]

Nnh.. I don't know! Just something like, "Hey! She's got a flashback light. Maybe avoid her" or something?! Seriously, any kind of warning would have been nice.

I thought we were just going to have fun or something and then she hits me with that? I felt like I got hit with a truck.

[truthliesinspace]

Seriously. I had such a damn headache.

But. . .she's right, y'know? I don't think I'd have believed it if I didn't see it myself. Would you have believed her if she'd just walked up and said it instead?

[lieindespair]

Her? ... No. But... wouldn't you have wanted some warning?

[truthliesinspace]

Well yeah, but I sure as hell didn't get one! And like I said, I didn't think she was gonna go to you so soon.

[lieindespair]

Why wouldn't she? Considering our reactions, she obviously didn't want to do them at the same time, but if she was committed to ripping off the bandage so soon and getting it over with, it only makes sense.

Have you talked to her much since then? Aside from the initial conversation, obviously.

[truthliesinspace]

Guess so.

And nah. I told her even though I wanted to stay friends, I still needed some space to think about everything. Because even if we're good, a part of me is still angry, y'know? So I don't wanna lash out.

[lieindespair]

Hmph. You showed her more of a kindness than I did. I... still don't know what I'm gonna do, to be honest.

It's too much. I definitely hate her, though... What should I do if I wanna kill her next time I see her?

[truthliesinspace]

You shouldn't. . .but that's up to you. It's her right to move on, but you don't have to be forgiving about it. Don't think it'd make you happy though.

Especially since folks come back around here. Fucked up.

[another moment, considering...]

If you're feeling angry, and like you might do something stupid, you can call me, I guess.

[lieindespair]

Oh, I never said it wasn't her right, but isn't it my right to hate her for what she did?

[ He huffs, not wanting to admit that, yet again, Kaito might have a point. ]

Huh? Call you? What for?

[truthliesinspace]

That's what I mean. You're just as in the right for hating her forever.

[and a shrug]

I dunno, just to talk? Cool down? Not like I can babysit you, you run around too much. But if you want someone to stop you from trying to murder someone, you can call me.
