Day 10 - Leo + Shijima

[So they've got some time before the trial starts, and since Leo's already talking to her, she'll grab his sleeve to keep him nearby should he try and hobble away. Once she spots Shijima, she'll wave her over, too.

Ideally, Alice would like to include Alfendi as well, but they're running low on time and she owes Shijima an explanation. To that end, she'll take full advantage of the fact that a lot of the others will be preoccupied with the investigation to talk to the two of them privately.]


...okay, first things first. Shijima, can I have my note back?
liven: (REMARK ► it's opinion time.)

[personal profile] liven 2016-11-05 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. I want to know what it says, though.

[ shijima pulls the note from her pocket and easily passes it over, however. she will casually give alice a once-over, making sure she's all right to be talking. ]

It says that Rhys said Bigby was staff, and to convince you and Alfendi.

[It's in code, obviously, but Leo reads it easily enough.] It's musical notation. Of a sort.
liven: (DISCUSS ► dig up the flowers.)

[personal profile] liven 2016-11-05 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
Why didn't you simply say so? I would have believed you.

[ that...easily? yes. because she sold her vote to alice already. bigby came after. so he ranked a hair lower. ]

Though I'm curious when Rhys had the time to say so.
adlucem: ({sepia})

[personal profile] adlucem 2016-11-05 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
I'd like to know how he managed to tell you without it getting censored, too.

[Rhys? Good for something? Say it ain't so.]

Did you know you were going to be targeted?
adlucem: (Default)

[personal profile] adlucem 2016-11-05 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
[He does indeed hand it over. Oh, composers.

But as she writes, he'll talk to fill the quiet--if Judy is listening, the less suspicious they sound, the better.]


It seems like a lot of people were... I just hope it was worth it.
liven: (HUNCH ► what is posture.)

[personal profile] liven 2016-11-05 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
Taking risks isn't generally a bad thing...so long as it's done properly. At least you did survive...I should have told you Guy approached me earlier. He didn't say what he was, but he didn't strike me as suspicious, either.

[ she'll idly snatch the pen from alice. ]

i never thought otherwise
is she not simply an observer
liven: (DISCUSS ► dig up the flowers.)

[personal profile] liven 2016-11-05 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
That reminds me...Elizabeth said "she" did this. It's possible Ava could be staff...

[ discounts rose lalonde entirely as a possibility because rose likes cats. ok shijima. ]

or she was referring to judy
at the least elizabeth did not want us to blame bigby
so i suppose i shant
since he at least didnt kill any of us
who are we to gun for this trial however

[Instead of taking the pen from them, Leo pulls another one out of his pocket. LIKE MAGIC... nerd magic... he's only got these two, though, so don't steal them.]

do you have a plan for if you don't? [Not that he wants you to die, Alice, but they have to think about these things in a place like this.]
liven: (DISCUSS ► dig up the flowers.)

[personal profile] liven 2016-11-05 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
She's the only girl left I'm really suspicious of...Angel is obviously not an issue, and I don't believe you or I are, either.

[ she'll casually take her pen turn. ]

let's simply make sure it doesn't come to that
we can push the ava angle if you come under fire
adlucem: (Default)

[personal profile] adlucem 2016-11-05 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
What's so suspicious about her?

Meet with? Physically?
liven: (FALL ► oh is that so?)

[personal profile] liven 2016-11-05 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
Besides, Elizabeth said "she" and there aren't that many girls left. If we discount everyone whose character we can vouch for, that leaves exactly one girl.

take care and kill him before he tries anything on you
i don't trust him as far as either of us could throw him
even if he did share a piece of information

[personal profile] adlucem 2016-11-05 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Shijima your version of "vouching for their character"...]

You'll need to come up with a better reason than that to clear your own name, though.

Rhys and promises. [Does he really need to write anything more than that... but anyway.]

Adam is there too. He said Luke was trying to help but I don't know if he's spoken to anyone the way Rhys has spoken to you. We should have more than one point of contact though in case something happens. [Er, again.]

[personal profile] adlucem 2016-11-05 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
Not you, stupid.

[This wouldn't be a conversation without some passive aggression!]
liven: (INSULT ► let me be blunt.)

[personal profile] liven 2016-11-05 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
Why would I kill my own allies?

[ dryly. ]

The only people I like here were in my room, with two exceptions.

[To Alice:] When you figure that out, let me know.

[To Shijima:] In trials that lead to people's deaths, you sold your vote for a chance to sleep in a bed. I doubt "I liked them" is going to convince a lot of people if Alice can't vouch for you. [Since she was, y'know, busy being attacked.] Not that there are many of us left, but... we should work in concretes as much as we can.

I don't trust any of them, but if they really are trying to share information, then we need to make use of that however we can. See if Rhys can get Luke to contact someone on our side. We need to find the Overseer.
liven: art credit unknown, please contact (CHAT ► well that's dumb.)

[personal profile] liven 2016-11-05 07:57 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't harm anyone in my room. I promised that, and I don't go back on my word...and yes, Angel and I found them. It looked like something not-human might have been there. A robot? Something that could be pushed?

[ the treadmarks were weird. ]

they'll help us more than anyone else would
we can trust them more as well
