Did you know during the trial he did it?

[ blunt. ]

[aono]

No, he told me after. The only thing I knew for sure at the trial was that I hadn't done it.

[Rin does not have enough braincells to solve cases like that. He only caught on to Kazu because it was REALLY obvious based on how Kazu was acting.]

If I'd have known, I would've called him out at trial. We didn't know that shadows leave people after trial then, I thought we had to vote the killer out to get the shadow out of them.

[skyagain]

Then the hell are you blaming yourself for? Guy was possessed.

[ it's blunt! it's blunt. ]

Sharing he did it after doesn't do shit. Won't unscapegoat Bucky. At best, what? We got a back up body to make ourselves feel better if we don't solve a murder in time? There's no higher moral ground here, kid. For anyone.

[aono]

[he flinches at the bluntness, but he'll keep going.]

Well no, it wouldn't have helped Bucky. But that's how I knew Diluc for-sure didn't kill Kaeya: he's already killed, and the guy running this shitty show already said multiple kills were boring. But I didn't say shit and we wasted so much time on if he was the killer or not.

[skyagain]

We wasted fifteen minutes at best.

[ he continues. to be blunt. ]

I'm not going to say it wasn't a waste of time. Maybe it would've helped, maybe it wouldn't have. But let's be honest: we didn't have jack of a lead on Kaeya. "Someone who used a sword"? Great. That's over half the people left possible.

[aono]

And instead of at least trying to sort it out, I started a fight with Molly.

[If only he knew what his demon side was thinking about doing in those 30 seconds he had control.]

[skyagain]

Yeah, that was stupid.

[ he's. not going to argue that. ]

[aono]

[Thank u for understanding his stupid and not arguing.]

I think I pissed a lot of people off with that one. Dunno how much help I'll be next week.

[How much is he going to be able to do if half the game distrusts him?]

[skyagain]

[ he is not going to say he is not sure how much help rin is in trials in general ]

Yeah, they'll probably hold grudges.

[ ... he is instead going to say that ]

[aono]

[To be fair, he did a lot better in his previous game. This game just keeps kicking his ass.]

Let 'em. They're not the first ones, I know I'm difficult to get along with.

[The duality of Rin: he wants to be liked by people, but his temper is absolutely horrible when it goes off.]

[skyagain]

Literally everyone in this place is a stubborn asshole, kid. Give one or two exceptions. [ dry. ] You're all still gonna have to play nice if we want to get anywhere here.

[aono]

I do play nice usually!

[skyagain]

"Usually" is kind of my point, kid. These aren't going to get any easier.

[aono]

[He makes a grumbly frustrated noise as he rubs at his face.]

Well whatever. I'm not gonna cause trouble on purpose. I hate fighting like that anyway.

[skyagain]

Great. Was worried you were trying to make me lecture you there. [ dry. and not serious. ] I actually came here for something else.

[ maple i had this tag open unposted on desktop all weekend and this is hilarious ]

[aono]

[Zia your tags...]

Yeah? What is it then?

[skyagain]

You have that note you got from your little side adventure? Shinobu said the three of you split 'em up.

[aono]

Yeah, I do. You got one too?

[skyagain]

Didn't get one that first week, the other group did. I've been seeing what everyone got over the weeks so far, though.

[aono]

Did you see the thing Bradley has? He's got a whole diary.

[But he will pull out his paper to show Cloud. It says the following:]

HA[scribbles]

OH, SHIT, YOU'RE GONNA KILL ME.
I'M SORRY[more scribbles]OK?
AND STAY ALIVE. PLEASE.
[more scribbles]

[skyagain]

... The one Sheila's group found?

[ he looks at it!! while frowning!! maple do you have the link to the picture i want to check something compared to the other ones ]

[aono]

Yeah, that one.

[dfkdljdslk yes I do, I didn't realize I could link the images. but it's here.]

[skyagain]

Yeah, I've read it. Mind if I copy this one?

[ maple im crying. anyway he assumes Rin doesn't so he's taking out his pen and notebook, then; ]

Hangman, that stink list, the journal, and now your notes. That's about it for what people got in these adventures.

[aono]

Go for it. We need to spread this stuff around, right?

[Rin does not have nearly enough brain power to put this together into an actual result of any kind. But what he has is the ability to talk to people and gather information, which he gives to smarter people. He's helping!!!]

If you've got the ones from Futaba and Shinobu then I think you've got all the notes so far, yeah? Until someone comes back next week with something new.

[skyagain]

Haven't gotten Futaba's yet, but I'll get to it. [ cloud's not sure he has a conclusion, so he doesn't share it yet, putting the note back after copying it ] You hear about people getting keys the past two weeks?
