night five - kill log.
Who: Killers and Royce Melborn
When: The fifth night
Where: The jungles of Ship-Trap Island
[ It's the dead of night in the jungle. Considering the Hunt, you have to wonder if you're actually safe out here, but it at least seems quiet. Maybe you could try getting some rest, or maybe you should keep watch. Either way, that quiet may not seem very comforting. ]

[ At Royce being dead, he means. The fact that he's not complaining about injuries or crying means that he's fine as well. There are only a few minor cuts and scrapes, so really, he's lucky. Kasen looks Royce's way thoughtfully, and he lapses into a silence at that, since he realizes there's a problem here. Perhaps earlier in the game, they could have gotten away from wounds that come from a blade, but by now? There are much fewer swordsmen amongst them.
...It's terribly inelegant, to have to dispose of a body. It feels a little dishonorable as well, but considering this man had spoken of not caring for honor, Kasen also finds he cares much less. ]
Hmm, we should probably hide his body if we can, though. It's a bit obvious that it's the work of a sword, isn't it?
no subject
Huh. Yeah... Even dismembering him wouldn't really hide that a blade was involved. You think we should push him out into the water?
[Though there's the chance that it might drift back to shore, of course.]
no subject
Mm, no... I think it would still be found.
[ Like Mitsutada, he thinks, though he doesn't say as much. He takes another few moments to stretch as he thinks, but it's clear when the idea comes to him, since his features brighten. ]
Well, there is that giant hole. If we carried it there, they certainly wouldn't find it. [ A pause, and then, ] ...It's quite brutish. But I think it would work.
no subject
[Mostly because no one's fallen into it yet, by some miracle... It's easy to forget about the gaping hole in the jungle floor when you've got to worry about every other side of a war murdering you.]
Sure, sure - that should work just fine. We'll come back for your stuff later, okay? [Kasen's outer layers of clothing, he means.] Let's dump him now while we're out here already and then go find the next.
no subject
Certainly. I don't think it's too far from here, at least...
[ He's not carrying Royce ten miles that's for sure. With a noise of exertion, he carefully loads Royce up onto his back, since it's easier for him to carry him that way. ]
Ah, when we're done, I'll clean up too. We'll both have a bit of blood to wash off, won't be?
no subject
[He can't blame Yamato for this one since he deda too... That's going to be a struggle, but he'll figure it out later. He'll just have to bear it in the meantime and hope that it doesn't impede his ability to strike quickly and precisely, because he knows he'll really need that tonight.
Anyway, Kasen will get a thanks for carrying the body! And after a little while of walking:]
Oh— Hey, I think that's it over there. See? [POINTS over toward what basically looks like a gaping spot of nothingness in the middle of the dark vegetation.]
no subject
[ Kasen really does sound relieved by the time they get there, because even carrying a smol amount of deadweight is still deadweight, so it's not very easy. ]
You can just stay here. I'll take care of it, since it's probably better if we don't both stand there, hm?
[ He responds with a half laugh that's gentle, even though based on Megumi, that's not quite something to joke about. He gives Kashuu a nod, and then carefully heads to the edge of the sinkhole before setting Royce down at the edge. From there, it's just a matter of giving him a solid kick to send him into that abyss, but Kasen doesn't even bother to wait to hear if he hits any sort of ground. He simply returns to Kashuu's side with an encouraging smile. ]
Well! Shall we? He really did make a mess, so I think taking a quick swim will be quite a relief!
no subject
Kashuu watches from a relatively safe distance, though after Megumi, he's still on his guard (never really drops it completely, honestly) like he's just waiting for the ground to crumble... But it doesn't. With Kasen's safe return and the body properly disposed of, he'll smile in response, nodding in agreement. He's still off-kilter, but he's trying to take his cue from the encouragement in Kasen's smile.
This is fine, right?
They'll be fine.]
Let's go, let's go! I think I could use something like that before we set out again. Better wash this out before it gets infected, too... And I gotta clean off Yasusada.
[So to the water it is!! He'll turn, though he waits for Kasen, not wanting to stray too far from his side.]
no subject
Mm, let's. It's still early in the night, so I think we have a bit more time to work. Come—
[ And so off the two insane swords go to wash off the blood and then go murder more people, most likely. ]
