[belatedly in this form their wings are black and red

anyway in the great void]

Hello, Roxana. Are you familiar with these... "murder mysteries"?

[disingenuous]

[ not only will their hair never match anyone else's but also their feathers...


She looks a bit... perplexed. ]

Chinatsu said it was something like a game where you find out who a murderer is.

[ It's nice having a modern in your suite. ]

But I don't know why they want to do this.

[georeject]

[my checks.......]

Apparently, it's for team bonding.

[disingenuous]

[ jan for endgame..... ]

Is murder supposed to inspire friendship?

[ Her... doubt..... ]

[georeject]

I assure you, it's confusing to me as well. But I suppose in times of peace, the reality of death is far removed from one's mind, and it's just part of a story to them.

Though this is just me making assumptions.

[disingenuous]

[ Times of peace.... don't know her. ]

it's hard for me to remove the reality of death, but I'll make an attempt.

[ until it turns into real murder

because no trust ]

[georeject]

[no trust...]

Do try to be nice to him and the residents about it... I think that, um. Some people here are a little upset, but it does sound like they're really just trying to keep everyone's spirits up.

[disingenuous]

They could have given a bit more forewarning.

[ Some people don't like surprises. ]

[georeject]

They probably thought the surprise would be part of the fun.

[disingenuous]

It must be nice.

[ She won't hold it against them too much. It's not like this is anything worse than what her family does on the daily. ]

We'll have to see how it goes.

[georeject]

Yes... Kumon really did seem excited for it, though, so I hope he won't be too disappointed if the reaction isn't what he was hoping for.

[disingenuous]

[ She wonders idly if Kumon will notice, but maybe that's a bit too mean. ]

He'll have to learn that some plans don't always go as hoped. I'm sure there will be those to support him.

[ So maybe it will balance out. Unless he actually dies. ]

[georeject]

[stop be nice to kumon]

I suppose... Still, it's nice to see someone straightforwardly kind and enthusiastic. You don't really get that often.

[disingenuous]

[ she's a mean girl, i'm sorry.

She nods after a moment. ]

I can't disagree.

[ There are so many nice people here. It's alarming, in a way. ]

I hope whatever happens next doesn't change that for him.

[georeject]

... Well, if this fails, there's always the baseball that he mentioned...

[disingenuous]

Baseball?

[ help ]

[georeject]

It's some sort of sport.

[...






that's all clarte's got.]

[disingenuous]

I see.

[ She smiles all the same. ]

He may have a harder time gathering people for a sport.

[georeject]

Do you think so?

[disingenuous]

Not every person has the mind to want to solve murders, and not every person has the desire to play as part of a team.

There are some loner types here.

[ can you imagine estinien being convinced to play baseball? it's such a funny mental image. ]

[georeject]

[PLEASE LET ESTINIEN PLAY BASEBALL]

I suppose you're not wrong, though it's a pity. If we're forced to stay here indefinitely, we might as well try to get along.

[disingenuous]

Some people aren't meant to get along, but if you want to push for it, you can come up with alternative team bonding exercises.

[ She doesn't use a tone that quite gives team bonding exercises air quotes, but it's close. ]

[georeject]

Haha... unfortunately, coming up with this sort of thing isn't really my strong suit. [clart is more of a go with the flow type.] Kazunari was thinking about throwing a party, though.

[disingenuous]

A party is a mood lifter.

[ For those that like to socialize. ]

We'd still have to convince people to attend.

[georeject]

Make the food good enough? Lure them with cute animals?

[a beat]

Well, my duty, as assigned by Kazunari, is just to figure out what people's tastes are... so why don't I start with you? What kind of food do you like, Roxana?
