[ she got her clue because of izumo and [ redacted ] both slept on monday for one reason or another. bless her though. ]
It would make sense if we were, wouldn't it? No Leader means that we aren't able to take part of the competition anymore. [ she'll look somber. ] I wonder if they'd make a show of us or if we'd just disappear overnight? I don't want to kill, but I also don't want to be removed.
[ ... ]
As things are with the nova, we were brought here to replenish what has been lost but we're effectively just breaking even with what we're able to gather. If we figure how to get into the positives and stay there perhaps we won't have to worry about killing anyone.
... Don't kill. [ Dorothy says this softly, gaze darkening a bit. The thought of being made a show of or just... vanishing without a trace... neither one sounds particularly promising.
But also Izumo doesn't need to force herself. ]
If it comes to that, I'll figure out who among us remains and go from there. The positives likely include continuing to talk to and deepen our bonds with as many people as we can, as well as those problems that occur... well, today.
[ She can't wait. ]
But also it's so nice to finally speak with the young lady Alphinaud speaks so fondly of.
but when dorothy makes it clear not to kill, izumo will just shake her head. she won't kill. she could but she won't. there are just too many risks to take. though just as she was going to say something about the deepening of bonds—
[ cue the record scratch and her taking a double take at dorothy for a moment. that. that was not a name she thought would pop up in this conversation and she nearly falls over in her seat. ]
F, f, fondly?
[ SORRY THEY'RE HAVING A SERIOUS DISCUSSION BUT NOW SHE'S?? ]
alphinaud is allowed to have as many friends (who largely tend to be female(?!)) as he wants but the fact that he talks about her to any of them has her uneasy. ]
ha...ha...haha....?? cue izumo slowly looking away while also turning a lovely shade of red. actually she may also try hiding her face from view. please do not perceive her. ]
Wh, who said I was troubled by it! I'm not troubled at all. [ aaaAAAAHHHHHHH ] I'm...g, glad he told me.
[ she's happy about it. elated!!! they're a very soft couple and i, naru, live in fear for unlocks. ]
Anyway—! W, we should be talking other matters! I got another clue from Fox last week that I haven't figured out s, so maybe you could help me with that.
[ she's still a lovely shade of red thanks to being referred to "alphinaud's lovely lady" because it's too much. she wants to crawl under the seat or scream but IT'S FINE.
""work"" will be a perfect distraction. ]
Th...The last Fox is someone who has been going by a nickname since they've arrived here. Fox told me that it should be someone I can figure out, but I haven't been able to reason out who it could be.
Well, that was easy. [ slightly anticlimactic, honestly. ] Normally I'm not the person to suggest this—but should we all get together and make ourselves acquainted?
I don't recall speaking to him outside of a few instances.
though yes, yes she's more than aware that she is willingly suggesting that she and [ redacted ] need to be in the same room without her needing to rip his face off... but izumo is very serious about figuring this all out and she's not that petty. ]
Then should we meet up this week or hope for the best for next week?

But of course! We were roommates once, you see. We happened to grow rather close during that time.

Of course.

The gist of it beneath his language is that he very much enjoys your company and speaking with you. Ah, he seemed to be flustered admitting it, but...
no subject
oh.

I...
[ uh. ]
I, I've become aware of that.

Is it really something to be that troubled over?

Oh? [ She hums, a little smile playing at her lips. ]
Do tell. I'd be happy to assist Alphinaud's lovely lady.

He's very much a gentleman, if that helps. But I think you're right, we should all come together and see how we want to go about this.
[ ... Of course, that means [redacted] will be there. Can Izumo handle that-- ]

[ please. please let none of them be dead (though i'll laugh if one of us are). ]
If something happens to one of us, we more or less know all of us now.
no subject
That's fair enough. All right, let's plan to meet on Friday. I'm... certain we'll have more to discuss then.
[ She says. With a grimace. ]
no subject
Right. Should we plan on where to meet? I'm not really partial to any place in particular.
no subject
Let's aim for the forest. I think most people will be lingering around the most recent places.
no subject
Sounds fine to me. [ ... ] Would you mind passing that message along? It's not like I know Blanca and—
[ there's a very obvious pause for obvious reasons. ]
I'll do my best when we all come together.
no subject
Leave it to me. I'll make sure we all know when and were to meet.
