the general - day conversations.

[foxhounds]

THE GENERAL day conversations Need to talk with your fellow killers during the day? Look no further. Please avoid group conversations, since it's not realistic that this many people would slip away unnoticed! This should be for one-on-one conversations only. Please include the day the conversation takes place and the relative time in your subject line.

Day 1

[meatery]

[After climbing into a dirty, decorative well and messing around with child corpses. Gi-ne is ready to clean off. While everyone is fussing over Alois' corpse and looking for clues, she goes back into the mansion to find a bathroom. But it's possible that she's noticed she's being followed, because she deliberately goes for one of the bathrooms further into the house and out of the way.]

[In any case, for now she's washing her hands.]

[hijiwanwan]

[ Honestly, Hijikata could care less about the child's corpse. He didn't remember the kid much anyway, but there is something he has to find out about- who the hell did it? ]

There you are. [ He doesn't even bother to knock. Whatever. ]

That display earlier, what is the meaning of that?

[meatery]

Shut the door behind you.

[Doesn't seem surprised and waits until she's turned off the tap and started drying her hands to turn around.]

What display are you talking about?

[hijiwanwan]

[ Fine, fine. He does. With crossed arms he leans against the door. ]

The well. In the middle of the day too! What happened.

[ SIGHS... ] Who did it?

[meatery]

Not me.

[Huffs and crosses her arms too.] I thought it was one of you guys. It looked like someone just dumped his body there, he was face down in the water.

[unrulyprincess]

[Clarine trails in later, eyes not really looking at anything in her path. She has seen death before, plenty of it--but never someone she knew particularly closely, and never like this. It was so unexpected and abrupt...

But she has blood from his wound on her fingers, and so she has to head in to clean up, eyes downcast and body language defeated.

PERFECT TIME TO CORNER HER, REALLY let's have all of our major talks in bathrooms.]

[meatery]

[Gi-ne has already cleaned herself up and was busy keeping an eye out for any of her fellow Generals and- oh, there's one now. When Clarine takes a turn down an empty hallway, Gi-ne will suddenly be beside her, hand on her shoulder and guiding her to what is now apparently the offical Generals bathroom.]

This way, miss. Come on now, it's okay.

[And, with any luck, to any sneaky spies she hasn't noticed she'll just look like a normal, concerned adult trying to comfort an obviously upset child.]

[unrulyprincess]

[To the Official Generals Bathroom!

Clarine is at least aware enough to play along, nodding quietly and trailing after quietly (though that in and of itself is weird from her).

She frowns when they're in the bathroom, door closed.]

What...what is it, Gi-ne?

[meatery]

[Gi-ne's mood shifts a little once the door shuts, looking just a little more cheerful.]

Well, to start with, you really should wash your hands. A lady should probably look clean and tidy, right?

[hopefragment]

[If Gi-ne wants to talk to him, Hinata's definitely not wandering into the bathroom to find her. First of all, even if they're unisex bathrooms, and even if she's just washing her hands, that would just be weird.

Also it'd just be plain weird for everyone to be going to the same bathroom, too. Instead, Hinata can be found investigating the area around the well, within the trees and reasonably out of sight of all but the snoopiest people.]

Oh, hey.

[Raising a hand in greeting! What's up.]

[meatery]

[When someone apparently didn't need to use the bathroom urgently, Gi-ne decided she may as well use her time to be visible outside with everyone else. With so many people running about in a panic, it's easy to walk around without seeming strange... And she can look for clues and Hinata at the same time, right?

Eventually her walk takes her back to the well and eventually to Hinata's side.] Hey. [Leans against a nearby tree.] Find anything?

[hopefragment]

Nothing.

[No one sounds more frustrated than Hajime Hinat at the lack of evidence to be found. How is he supposed to prepare for class trial without them? Or... something. He doesn't exactly know what to expect from the people here, but no evidence is not good.]

That detective -- Ema Skye? She seems to think it was accidental. Said there were no signs of foul play, but that that guy had an antagonistic nature.

[meatery]

Mm, it looked like an accident to me... These things do happen. And if someone here let themselves be that pissed off by a little brat, I'm going to be annoyed.

[Come on, guys, be mature.]

Speaking of which, just checking, did you do it?

Ok who the f

[hijiwanwan]

[ Okay, bathroom conversation done. Time to figure out what is going on now.

Hm... Ah! There's one. ]

You, what are you doing here? [ Alright, uh... Time to be discreet? ] I was just getting some water, do you know where the bathroom is?

Who The F

[gravesite]

[ He looks around, as if to see if Hijikata could be addressing anyone else other than him. That, and to make sure no one else would be around. ]

What, I can't go to the bathroom without being interrupted? Come on, it's this way.

[ Still, he understands the implications, guiding Hijikata to the Official Generals Bathroom. When they do get to the bathroom, he shuts the door with a light kick. ]

What's up?

Ah yes... The Battle Bathroom

[hijiwanwan]

[ Okay. Well, he doesn't use these kind of sinks often, but... It can't be that hard? He turns up one of the knobs- oh, there we go! Running water. ]

Anyway. You saw what happened near the well, right? So speak now, did you do it?

The Battle Bathroom Of Master Planning

[gravesite]

[ Upon seeing the running water, his eyes light up, intrigued by how the water seems to run on its own. However, he can be fascinated by that later, and that's not what they're here for. ]

[ Listening to Hijikata speak, he folds his arms across his chest. ] I saw. It was interesting, really!

But no, it wasn't me. I'm pretty excited for this murder business and all, but pushing kids down a well just isn't my idea of fun, you know?

From what it looked like, it seems likely that he got himself into that situation. Do you agree?

day 2 (after body discovery)

[wartorns]

[He already knew Ema was dead. He was there when it happened.

However he was shocked like everyone else when he saw the sick display her corpse had been made into. Even more shocked because he knows for a fact that neither he nor Hijitaka were responsible for it. So what the hell is going on.

That's all Orion can think of as he sits in a secluded corner of the mansion alone, not yet ready to go out and be part of the investigation.]

[meatery]

[She can only stand to be out there with the body, Hijitaka and everyone else for so long without snapping and telling the idiot off in front of everyone. Which would be bad. So instead she skulks away from the scene of the crime, back into the mansion. Perhaps if she camps out in front of the bathroom eventually the others will come to her-

And then she spots Orion.] You.

[She grabs Orion by the collar and drags him down the hall towards the bathroom- luckily not far- and just about throws him in. Then she follows and (with great focus) quietly closes the door.]

... What the hell did you two get up to last night?

[wartorns]

Oof!

[He doesn't have enough time to react to getting grabbed, but doesn't fight against it - only because he doesn't want them getting caught in a confrontation together.

Once they're there he takes his helmet off and rakes a hand through his hair, clearly frustrated.]

That wasn't us, I swear. ["That" obviously being what happened to Ema. What else could she be angry about?] Believe me, I was as shocked as you!

[meatery]

If it wasn't you, what was it? Did you lose her?

[Crosses her arms and glares him down.] Those kids asked you two to give her a quick death! That wasn't in the plan!

Day 7....weenie cru last mafia standing

[unrulyprincess]

[Kogasa's umbrella is heavy on her shoulder, heavier than she thinks it should be. But they're as alone as they're going to get right now, and Clarine's steps slow until she is hardly walking forward at all.

... ... ... ]

Hinata... Hijikata was not at breakfast.

[hopefragment]

Y-yeah... I know.

I found his sword. A-and Okita's.

[They're alone now, and Hinata just turns and slams his fist into a tree. He really is taking after Matt.]

Dammit...

[unrulyprincess]

[There's a long pause as Hinata wages a pointless war against the trees... and then Clarine huffs, though it's more distress than annoyance.]

W-what was he... what was he doing? We kept our end of the promise! We showed up at breakfast after--

[Well, they both know.]

H-how dare he leave us behind after that!

[hopefragment]

When we win... I'm going to kick his ass.

[Hinata pauses from punching the tree because wow how does Matt do that, this really hurts??? and just rests his forehead against it, trying to calm down. It's not that successful.]

I-it's just the two of us now, s-so... we need to keep going. It's hard, but we... we have to do this. They're all counting on us...

[His voice is breaking. He never asked for this kind of responsibility. He doesn't want it!]
