disingenuous | mizuki catchall

[ she's seated in congratulations. there's no food in front of her, but she is greeting anyone who comes into the restaurant. ]

Mizuki, isn't it?

[ —? ]

Yyyyes? ... Didja need something?

I haven't met you or talked to you yet.

... Nope!

[ She'll come over and lean against the table. ]

Hoping to personally familiarize yourself with everyone?

Take a seat, if you wish.

[ she isn't going to ask for distance during affection week. ]

I'd at least like to see who potential teammates could be. See what kind of personalities there are.

[ a vibe check. ]

[ Well, okay. Mizuki slides in a spot across from her. ]

Fair enough. You're not going to start interrogating me, though, are you?

I'm not so uncouth, nor am I out to know your whole life story. A little of how you'd describe your last "game" and a little of how you think about all this, for a start.

[ basic and things everyone is probably asking everyone else. ]

... Seriously, does everyone think of these as a game...

It's how they're calling it, and it's simpler than calling it your weeks long experience with what was most likely murder and whatever else was there.

But it just rubs me the wrong way, y'know?

I didn't say you had to like it. It is what is circulating, so you'll have to contend with it.

[ we are at security... wao. ]

Hey. Hope you don't mind another visitor tonight.

[ wao....

roxana is seated on the bed. she seems fine. unbothered. ]

Hello, Mizuki. I can't turn anyone away, can I?

If you wanted, what's stopping you?

[ she gestures to the bars in front of her. she's jailed. ]

The most I can do is not say anything, but you could stay.

Meh, I'm not getting paid for this, so I'm not putting up with a useless interrogation if I don't have to. But I did have one question, if you don't mind answering.

Paid? Is it your job to be some kind of crime investigator?

You may ask, but I don't promise an answer.

That’s right—by day, I’m a police detective, so I do a lot of this kinda stuff. So…

Did you actually kill anyone this week?

It must not be easy to see this kind of thing all the time.

[ she tilts her head. ]

Why don't you tell me if you think I did?

[ Mizuki pauses, then hums. ]

That's not something I can determine right now. We didn't find any way to pin you down without a doubt, even if our options were narrowed down. So... I don't want to say you did it, but you didn't do anything to clear your name, either.
