Week 0, Post Trial - (Detective) Reaper Fam

[withsadness]

[Here they all gather, around the great Moyai Statue, who is lonely and has done nothing wrong. He shall keep their secrets as they yell at a small angry child.]

Soooo...today was really enlightening!

Since we're talking early, I'd like to check in with everyone. Have you been gathering allies yet? Although we have our partners, it's important to search for others who we can rely on for different purposes.

[


look all y'all were a mess at trial, he has decided he's team leader for today because he didn't get too close to the truth or bring out a knife or lose a fucking toe.]

[grano]

Monika. The girl is strangely devoted.

[voyeur]

Is that so? She's definitely one of the stranger ones here. What kind of partnership has she offered you?

[grano]

Everyone in this god forsaken place is strange. Especially yourself.

She proposed an alliance. I think she believes that I have the power to protect her in some way or another.

[voyeur]

On the contrary, most of the people here don't seem that unusual.

[because he's from a Narita canon]

Hm, do you think so? Are you going to take her up on it, then?

[grano]

Perhaps I was simply distracted by you.

[ fair ]

I did. She poured her heart out rather easily.

[voyeur]

Oh yeah, did she confirm to you if she's killed anyone before? I was wondering about that.

[grano]

Not outright — but with the way she speaks, I'm positive that she's responsible for something.

[bladeisme]

Undine asked me to watch out for her partner and said she thinks I and Akira aren't Reapers, so I'm pretty sure she counts.

[Let's see, what else...]

There's Lenka, too - He and I have been getting along pretty well, I think.

[Also it was their first trial, they're allowed to be somewhat bad at this??? it's a learning curve???]

[voyeur]

That's definitely a good place to start. Haha, no wonder this is getting to you. It must be hard to hear people call you good when you hate yourself, right?

[bladeisme]

[VISIBLY

WINCES


fuck you for getting right to the heart of the matter, you jerk.]

....Yes.

[God, he practically forces that one out.]

[voyeur]

[Izaya


slings his arm around Ichigo's shoulder, giving him a good pat.]

It's alright, it's alright. We'll help you out. You're definitely a difficult case, but we're you're teammates, so we'll support you as much as we can.

[bladeisme]

[...Alright, he didn't expect a shoulder hug - and he blinks at Izaya for a second before giving out a little laugh.]

...Thanks. I'm - I'm going to need it.

[He pauses, thinking, before -]

And I'll try not to weigh you all down.

[allsetfree]

I haven't made any enemies. [ that's about it, so far. ] That I know of.

[voyeur]

I have trust in you, Alex. [He's smiling at her.] Is there anyone you'd like to pick out as an ally?

[allsetfree]

I don't know, yet. I have people I like, but I still don't feel like I know who's, uh, useful. Yet.

[voyeur]

Then let's put it another way: do you have people you really would rather not kill?

[allsetfree]

Undine is sweet. Newton seems cool. And I like Taako and Magnus, they're both - tall.

[ why is that her go-to way to praise someone ]

[voyeur]

[....]

Tall isn't the adjective I expected there.

[withsadness]

[Um excuse you Mary knew exactly what she was doing and her knife was totally not dangerous????]

I've made plenty of friends. Eleanor pinky swore that she'd be my friend even if I do things that she disagrees with. Newt let me draw him a new tattoo. Akira is Ichigo's partner, but I think he likes me, too. I'm working on Herman, and Monika seems promising, too, but I haven't decided on her yet.

[And then there's Maya too but, uh. Just counts them off on her fingers.]

[voyeur]

Nice, Mary! No surprise, you're the best at making allies here.

[HE WANTS ANOTHER HIGH FIVE TBH]

What are the difficulties with Herman and Monika?

[withsadness]

[SLAMMING DOWN THE SECOND HIGH-FIVE OF THE EVENING YEAH!!!]

Hermann's too smart, and he's smart in that off-putting way. I don't think he's very socially adept, so that's a plus, buuuuut he's really closed off, too! I think he'd be an excellent ally but not until really gaining his trust, and that might take awhile. I think Monika and I relate to one another, so that will probably work in my favor but I don't know if she strikes me as the kind of person who's good at keeping secrets.

[She does very little that doesn't involve lying so she's just calling it like she's seeing it.]

[voyeur]

Wow, you're really good at assessing people. I'm glad we have you as a teammate, Mary.

Do your best with Hermann, but don't worry too much about Monika. If you decide not to, it seems like Jacopo is locking her down.

[withsadness]

I'm glad, too! I think that we're a really great team! I'll keep doing my best so everyone will want to play nicely!

[Can't give anyone a reason. If she gets caught for any reason, she wants to make her guilt the hardest truth to live with.]

Have you had any luck?

[voyeur]

You definitely deserve a reward for that. Hopefully, Max will get us all hotpot like we asked.

[Then they can have fun! As a family! Yayyyy]

So far, I've only offered to be Caren's ally. I don't think she trusts me, but at the same time, it's a good lead to start building to. There are a few more people I'm interested in, but it depends on how we decide to go about taking the Players out, you know? For example, do we want to start with the people we think are most likely to kill on their own so that we don't risk us or our partners getting taken by them, or should we maybe try to go after people less likely to do it so that we can rely on those people to help us thin the Players out?

I think Maya and Utena would have both been really fun allies to rely on, so it's definitely a shame to lose them like this.
