[Reasons why he stepped in to get Karma off the hook for the item check, honestly. People said they had their reasons for suspecting him, but he surmised - mostly correctly - that a lot of it just boiled down to a bias against him.
He sighs, crossing his arms over his middle.]
You're speaking logically, but I do hope that your speculations won't be accurate in the end...
[ He just... sighs, so heavily. He doesn't often actually look sad, more than just a perpetual state of exhaustion -- but this time, there is a bit of that actually. ]
Had a long talk with Pickles just last night, after he'd returned from their excursion.
But wow. THIS IS SAD AND HAKI IS EVIL BECAUSE SAME!!!!!]
...Yes. I'm still not entirely certain what happened or why, but he was in... a very bad way, when I last spoke to him. No one deserves to be killed, but...
[THE ONLY RELIABLE BITCH GETS EXECUTED THIS SUNDAY.
He just nods, though. He has a braincell, but unfortunately i aki do not, so jury's out on how much help he will be.]
I'll do what I can wherever I can, of course. As I'm sure everyone else will, but... we'll have to keep an eye out for the emotions that may run hot and high.
[JUST CLOSES HIS EYES INTERNALLY and stares into the middle distance for a bit externally. You know what is so terrible all the time! Feeling helpless!!!!]
Again, unfortunately. ...Given this is likely going to be a recurring problem, perhaps we can work on establishing more tools that can help us later, though. Like taking stock of who receives what during the week, or checking in with those we're sharing housing with so everyone knows where everyone else should be.
Mm. Namely that one outright didn't want to find his partner, and another one was unlikely to have looked for them, and even then I have a hard time imagining Mr. Akabane and Mr. Kasuga striking up the bond. So... likely three separate murders, though I'm happy to be proven wrong.
As for what else... I'll respect the people whose information this belongs to for now unless it comes in relevant later, but... I know a few powers, and how some strange occurrences might be explained by them if it happens to go that way.
[A nod... Sir's out here collecting the informational goods.]
I've heard of more people wishing not to find their partners than the other way around, by this point. [Which he thinks is valid given the risk versus reward they're looking at.] So I had assumed they were separate, as well.
[For the rest, he just nods.]
I suppose we'll have to wait and see how things turn out, in that case.

I didn't like being right the last time. I hope I'm wrong this time.

[Is this a bit pointless to ask MAYBE SO!!]

It's cruel for him to have died.

[A DOG? A SUFFERING DOG??]
no subject
I can only hope I was able to relieve some of his burden before he...
[ ...Anyway, he just goes quiet. ]
There's no undoing it. We'll just have to focus on tomorrow.
no subject
...Having someone to talk to and talk him through everything surely helped. It almost always does.
[Almost. But Daan's right, so he nods.]
I have my concerns with how things may proceed, but we'll just have to be prepared to work hard.

[ You're the only reliable bitch around here (smash cut to Lucas having killed). ]

...
That's going to be hard to fish out in a situation like this, but we'll try.
no subject
His lips press into a thin line.]
We'll try. [Echoing it back. Then:] We'll have to keep an eye out for the more typical wild emotions, too. The ones that could easily derail.
no subject
...
[ Man. ]
Yeesh... thinking about it is giving me a headache. Emotional corralling is the worst...
no subject
What a mood, though.]
It's going to prove difficult, certainly...
[So many people here are. So emotional.]
no subject
We're going to have to make it happen, one way or another.
Let's hope everyone gets it out now while they still can.
no subject
I should hope so. But we can hope for the best and prepare for something other than that.
no subject
Again, then.

[ Jeez. ]
Things to note... in the future.
[ Because he's resigned this will not be the last time. ]
no subject
Mm. ...For now... I fear there's little else we can do. Did you find anything?
no subject
I'll have to reconsider my notes on present powers as well, but I think it might help paint a clearer image. Rule this and that out...
no subject
Ruling anything out is as good a start as any. What sort of notes have you taken so far?
no subject
As for what else... I'll respect the people whose information this belongs to for now unless it comes in relevant later, but... I know a few powers, and how some strange occurrences might be explained by them if it happens to go that way.

[ He nods. Also Jesus, forgot what your name field was. ]
Rest up. We'll be busy tomorrow.
no subject
But! They sure will be. He's so tired already. It's grim out here lads.]
Yes... You, as well. And please let me know if you think of any way that I can be of help until then.
