IT'S... a life...? Er, I mean, A Live!

[knowsgrowsnow]

Who: this girl
Where: the streets of faukyo
When: day 89, forward dated a bit just... to put some space if you want...!

[ IT'S TIME FOR A LIVE!! ISN'T EVERYONE EXCITED BY THAT!!! The camera turns on and shows this girl and also, this guy on taisho! Cool!

She says, ]

Hello everyone! It's time to call an auction for this guy's life! Going in one, two, three! Oh no, no one bid, seems like you're forfeit!

[ maybe... less cool? You can continue to watch the live cw for some murder and torturegore, if you want! Or turn it off because that's awful. Anyway, he real dead.

The camera clicks off! So you can go look for the body or try to intercept doll as she wanders the streets with a bleeding mess of an arm. Either way, welcome to televised murder, a fun game for everyone. ]

COUNTER LIVE

[worthathousand]

[ fuck that is her son's boyfriend.

she is... grabbing her naginata and absolutely booking it to.... gods, fuck, she has no idea exactly where this is, and all of this is playing out on her phone screen as she runs.

It occurs to her that this is a horrible kind of exploring, and it's probably a good idea for people to know where she's going. ]

[forgottenmercy]

[does not bother to watch the Live, immediately going to look for him as soon as what is happening processes. also going to call Cobalt on the way, because he already knows it's going to be too late.]

[holdhandsandsing]

[Oh, well, guess he's just going to get to watch this whole entire live since he's upstairs in Alcheme's dorm and too far to do anything about it. This entire live of a person he cares about getting... that.

Time to head outside for a nice stroll in the snow.]

[liarliarliar]

[going after]

Ah, oniichan...

[holdhandsandsing]

[Not going to stop him. Yet, at least.]

...Yes, B?

IN BARITONES

[peaceofwork]

[ Eiji catches that on his phone, and watches the broadcast in the privacy of his bedroom so there's no need to worry about watching everyone else's reaction so he can't pay attention himself! Because that would be a shame!

Once it's done though, he takes a seat at the bar and spins it around so he's facing the rest of the room— watching for his unitmates and to see their reactions. ]

[liarliarliar]

Who are you looking for?

[her or him]

[knowsgrowsnow]

[ she is a it unsteady on her feet as she just keeps walking away from the body. after ten steps or so she does think about how she is losing too much blood and starts pulling her shirt off so she can do a sloppy tourniquet around the base of her arm anyway ]

[holdhandsandsing]

Shu, not the other one. Do not worry.

[She can wait.]

[syncintohell]

[ his body can be found— well, not face down in the streets.

He'd need a head for that. ]

[liarliarliar]

Okay.

Happier alone or would someone at your side be preferable?

[syckophant]

[Eichi sighs.

He's not saying anything he's thinking.]

...Did she speak with any of you about this?

Re: IN BARITONES

[noteablekiller]

[Codex had been reading at the bar, but he always leaves the tv running and of course got distracted by the live, in kudos to him, he looks quite genuinely alarmed, if not exactly surprised, and when it's done he grimaces, and runs a hand down his face, looking thoughtful but conflicted]

Of course she would do something like this...

[worthathousand]

[ THERE— finally, finally, though she knows she's already too late—

already activating Juniper Tree, sakura bark rising up to spread across her skin so she looks like some sort of black-haired war dryad— ]

You! You will be held accountable.

[running after her]

Amaranth? Where are you going?

[holdhandsandsing]

I would rather you stay inside in case "something else" happens.

[peaceofwork]

Not a single word, I'm afraid. We've met only briefly, not as confidants.

[ With a sigh and a shrug. ]

Re: IN BARITONES

[peaceofwork]

You suspected it of her, sir? In the future, it might do us well to have a wall of probable suspected plots and plans! It might do us well to have a good handle on all rumors.

[worthathousand]

There isn't time.

[ Her voice comes out harsh with barely contained fury. ]

Shu is Persephone's—

[thechampagneking]

[Manhattan was not in the dorm when this happened, nope, he was around the corner]

WHAT IN THE FUCK!

[forgottenmercy]

[going to get to work, then. takes a breath, and starts healing his body. puts his head back on first, and then heals all the rest of his wounds.

and then, once he's done, will sit there, quietly, Shu's lifeless head cradled in his lap, and just holds his body close as he waits for Cobalt.]

[syckophant]

Mmmh...

The same here. That's annoying. [Surprisingly, he is actually not smiling for once.]

[maleficafe]

What are you going to do? Amaranth...!

[still following]
