[ well. he's sitting despondently in front of his and hajime's room, staring at the phone, though he does not answer when called he's also. very visible. ]
[welp. he will pick him up but also just kind of sit on the ground. so now he's just holding a fuzzball and petting his ears.]
I...[that's a really good point, actually. but he's pretty sure hajime doesn't have some kind of a replica, so that rules that out.] I'm not sure. The Leaders sent us a message that they'd contact us tomorrow if they hear back from the Realm, but they left a few places for us to drop off things we found. Another group found her in the woods. If they wanted us to keep her body safe, then we'll get another chance to look soon.
[hopefully.] Were you guys awake for a while after the door locked?
I guess. I want to see this "body" for myself. [ he is a tiny fuzzball in a lap frowning now, holding a paw to his chin ] About an hour? Less? I don't remember falling asleep, but that's not that surprising.
Well you are a detective. We're gonna need all the help we can get if they find out more information. [that's okay. think away little dude.] I don't remember falling asleep either, but we were awake for a while. We also tried opening a couple of doors downstairs and they were all stuck.
That far? [ the? fucking? woods?? ] Well it's not like she could've teleported there. But no one else but us could've opened our door from the other side, either. Could they?
I don't think so. There were people that were in the kitchen last night, but we couldn't open the door from the other side no matter how hard we tried. So unless someone knows something the rest of us don't, we were all stuck.
I don't know. Kidnapping us, wearing hoods and masks, it's all been very villain origin story. But it's been a week. They've had ample time and opportunity to hurt us. And unless they're hunting us down for sport one by one with days apart, it makes no sense to just suddenly decide to kill us. Especially for no reason.
[he just makes a face at wearing hoods, but anyway.]
Yeah. Fox, Rabbit and Wolf have been in town every single day this week except for today. They would've acted by now, and Fox said they were here before us anyway. You're right. If they wanted to do something to hurt us, it doesn't make sense for them to wait so long.
Plus if they were guilty...why would they give us the chance to collect evidence and talk to them tomorrow to figure out what happened?
[...you know. pikachu says that and he suddenly just looks a little wary.]
Hey. Didn't the rules say they could be amended at any time? What if that applies to the Leaders, too? Like they're not allowed to do anything but wait until tomorrow?
Maybe. I wish I could ask one of the Leaders but I can't get in touch with them. [i'm pretending he tried because he absolutely would have run to his.]
Well, maybe we'll be able to ask more tomorrow. That's if they've been telling us the truth until now, of course. If they haven't been, there's no saying they won't just give us more lies tomorrow. Tough call.
Okay. Then we'll do it together. [another ear pet.] ...do you need some help reaching the door? I can let you in if you want. And I'll come get you tomorrow if the Leaders do summon us for something.
[if there's actually something in his room I'm going to kill you even though I'd believe it. but sora's a bleeding heart so he nods, like, immediately.]
Yeah. Of course you can. [more earpets] Izumo'll understand, so it's fine. It's probably better for everybody anyway.
[it's fine when pikachu's inevitably killed he'll just go cry to his npc. but it's cuddles for now. he doesn't quite know what to say to that, so it's just quiet until he decides to stand up with pikachu in his arms.]
Not much we can do until tomorrow. Come on. [time to go home and out of the hallway. no more sads for now.]
w0, friday
Pikachu! Hey, where are youuuu?

...Pikachu. [he'll approach him and crouch down next to him.] Are you okay?
[yes it's a dumb question, but he's now concerned about him since hajime was clearly not in her room last night.]

no subject
Yeah. Some of the others brought it back, but you're right. It doesn't make sense. How did she even get out there...? The front door was locked.
no subject
She was in the room with me. The doors locked, I remember that. Are we sure it's her body? It doesn't make sense.
