[ his expression doesn't change but there's a mild sense of amusement. ]
Thankyou for clarifying, though before you assume further I do know what technology is and can operate most vehicles. [ there's been a lot of assuming he's from some ancient fantasy culture. ] I suppose there's idols and popular culture everywhere. And gambling, apparently.
there's a thunderous mood under the muted top tones of his emotionshare. he's already begun to bleed through the fresh bandages kazuki helped him with, but he needed to find rin. ]
No one would have had to know. Besides, there's a good chance I get erased tomorrow anyway.
[ he says this, but the anger feels like it has... shifted, somewhat. ]
The problem becomes that despite there being no real "guilty" party, a decision is forced. Trying to turn the vote upon yourself if you're telling the truth doesn't fix anything. It's just more dancing to the wrong tune.
This is why you don't fall in love. [ his tone turns stern but in... a different way. ] Whatever mess you two have going on, sort it out. I've seen this kind of thing turn impossibly messy, and it doesn't have to happen to you. Though maybe it's too late, now.
[ if he notices he's being watched, he doesn't react. just fingerpluck at the strings tentatively before picking up a pick and strumming a slow, contemporary sort of tune.
it's not professional, but it's competent enough. like someone who hasn't played for a long time, maybe. ]

You're too young for this?

Glancing. ]
Yeah, for another year. I don't think it matters here though.
[ Smiling. ]
Wanna try to win some prizes?
no subject
considers for a moment... nods.......... ]
It could be fun, though don't expect me to carry you just because I've done this before.
no subject
[ alpha week instincts rearing up ]
I'd leave you in the dust without even trying.
no subject
You have no experience. How do you suppose you're going to manage that? I'll have handfuls of merchandise before you lay a finger on a single bromide.

Get yourselves sorted out, and quickly, before you cause more problems.
no subject
I did kill Astolfo. Everyone was fixating on the wrong thing.
no subject
[ and on that note; ]
Then why bother clearing me? You could have just lied.
no subject
[ HE'S VERY UPSET ABOUT THIS ]
... Why would I do that? You didn't do anything, you don't deserve to be voted for.
no subject
[ SIGHS. it's hard to stay that coldly angry when he's genuinely upset. still, he has no filter, so. ]
For the achievement, then? I'm pretty sure someone tried to frame me last week, you could've just finished the job.
no subject
I'm not... Intentionally choosing someone unrelated is.
[ he's not trying to justify what he did but ]

I don't want to talk about us.

Teenagers are so dramatic. Loyalty, then. [ his point stands. ] I do recognise and... appreciate, you not throwing me under the wheels.
no subject
[ ... ]
Except Dante. And maybe Alex.
no subject
[ ...ehh, well. ]
A lot of the obvious ones did die already.

It was like that at my last game too. Clearing out the more dangerous ones first.

I don't take requests yet.

Wanders over to the stage. ]
Is playing a hobby of yours?
no subject
[ glances at him, then back to the guitar. ]
Rosamund asked about musical equipment the other week, at that soundstage in Heaven. I thought I'd try and play something again for when she returns.
no subject
She does seem kind of... musical.
no subject
[ ...plucks a few notes absently. ]
Are you feeling better?

Not much we can do here other than move forward.

Weird.
