Post-Trial I Afterparty

[They're down two of their number, and who knows how many more will follow, but for tonight at least... They have a chance to rest.

The school has already been cleaned, leaving no signs of the deaths that occurred on this very day, but that's just as well. After looking around to make sure of that much, Yuta marches into the kitchen and, after a bit of looking around, ends up gathering some snacks: boxed crackers and apple slices that aren't perfectly even in cut but look, he's not the chef of his group, he did his best. These he sets out on some plates in the cafeteria before finding his usual seat to lounge in, eating some apple slices off of a smaller plate he grabbed just for himself.

And then, he waits - to see who trickles in, and who doesn't.

Where is your character in the aftermath?

[Oh...Emma kneels down to place a hand on it as well.] It looks interesting. I wish she could have gotten it back...

[There's a pause, before:]

You're not ACTUALLY going to arrest Koishi, are you?

Yeah! She stole something and Mao Mao said that stealing is wrong!
temmapathy: (thoughtful)

We don't even have any proof the turtle was Valmont's! And he was going to kill it! Don't heroes save innocent creatures from being killed?
violence_ensues: (Um)

[personal profile] violence_ensues 2022-08-28 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Uh?]

Well, yeah! But... do we have any proof it isn't Valmont's? He said he'd sell it, right? What if I buy it off of him?
temmapathy: (upset)

[personal profile] temmapathy 2022-08-28 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
Well...when someone is kidnapped, do you pay the ransom, or try to get them back without paying the kidnapper money? I think that's how Koishi sees this.
violence_ensues: (Oops)

[personal profile] violence_ensues 2022-08-28 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
[...

WAS the turtle kidnapped? Adorabat doesn't even know.]

...Will you help me invesitate this? Cuz if Valmont really did kidnap the turtle... then we gotta keep it safe...
temmapathy: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] temmapathy 2022-08-28 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
Of course. I think the first thing to do would be to ask Koishi if she knows the turtle, right?
violence_ensues: (Determined)

[personal profile] violence_ensues 2022-08-28 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah!

[Adorabat flutters off... only to return a moment later, looking sheepish.]

Where is Koishi now...?
temmapathy: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] temmapathy 2022-08-28 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
I thought she followed us up...
violence_ensues: (Curious)

[personal profile] violence_ensues 2022-08-28 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
...Sometimes, criminals run away.

[Adorabat...]
temmapathy: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] temmapathy 2022-08-28 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
I think she just disappears for a while all of the time... [Emma continues scanning the room, before:]

Oh wait, there she is!

[She points at a spot in the room where Koishi is sitting.]
violence_ensues: (Determined)

Koishi threadjacking time?

[personal profile] violence_ensues 2022-08-28 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
Aha! C'mon!

[Adorabat flutters on over to where Koishi is sitting.]
