[Primrose is a little on the side of intimidatingly cool looking lady, but when Fukuda finds himself in the kitchen at the same time as her, he has to say something that's been bothering him;]

Miss Azelhart, I wanted to ask, aren't you cold dressed like that?
[It seems like it doesn't provide much insulation.]

[femmefinale]

Thank you for the concern, but I'm fine. I've been in snowdrifts in only this, so not much else compares.

[ She doesn't even sound surprised. ]

[holeful]

[SNOWDRIFTS....]

Not even a coat? That must have been hard. I'm impressed you didn't get frostbite.

[femmefinale]

A fellow traveler had fire magic at his disposal, though I admit... [ Her eyebrows draw together. ] It wasn't a place I'd willingly choose to linger in.

[holeful]

Magic...
[The welcome letter had said something about powers... So it's not just the avatars who have (or rather had) magic.]

No, I can't imagine you would. Are you from somewhere warm, then?

[femmefinale]

I spent years in a pleasure district in Sunshade-- which was a desert town. As you'd imagine, I didn't need much in the way of layers.

[ Nor had they really wanted any of the girls wearing much. ]

[holeful]

[Pleasure district...]

No, I imagine not. Still, I'd think that would be all the more reason you'd have trouble with the cold.

[femmefinale]

Keep the right company and you can stay warm even on the coldest of evenings.

[holeful]

...


[Pleasure district.]
Is that an innuendo?

week 0, friday

[holeful]

[Primrose is probably trying to process recent events by having a drink at the bar...

Surely what she needs to see right now is a man just completely covered in dried blood?]

Ah, good morning, Primrose. Though, I suppose maybe it's not so good...
[What with someone being dead.]

[femmefinale]

[ More importantly-- ]

What happened?

[ Um. That's a lot of blood and he's obviously coherent and the blood seems to have dried already but this is concerning?? ]

[holeful]

Tamaki died... didn't you hear the announcement?

[Then he remembers he's covered in blood.]

Ah, I don't know. We kept getting covered in blood last night in the kitchen.

[femmefinale]

... Was there a source?

[ FUKUDA... ]

[holeful]

Not that we could find. A lot of things were bleeding, even when we wiped it off it eventually came back...

[A beat.]
Honestly, I wasn't sure it was real until we woke up this morning...

[femmefinale]

It sounds as though you had quite a night. Mine was... ah, nearly uneventful in comparison.

[ She studies him though, frowning. ] Would you like help cleaning it off?

[holeful]

That... would be helpful. But I wouldn't want to put you out. Are you sure?

[femmefinale]

I would not offer otherwise. I'm not so kind as that.

[ So she merely smiles. ]

Week 0, Saturday

[femmefinale]

[ ... Look at this sad man lying on a couch. ]

I suppose asking if you were all right would be a rather foolish question.

me opening this post realizing we have a friday thread, wheezing.

[holeful]

Well, I've been worse. But don't you feel like we wasted nine hours? And now miss Beauregard is in jail.....

[femmefinale]

I do feel as though we've learned something, however... even if it was not what we wished to learn. And Beauregard is suffering for it.

[holeful]

.... What did we learn?

[Sitting up.]

[femmefinale]

That there seems to have been arrangements in place already-- the room, the announcements, the way the Avatars guided us.

... I feel as though this may continue.

[holeful]

.... Aah. They did mention death in their letter, after all. I suppose all we can really do is prepare for next time and plan to do better.

[femmefinale]

I do wonder how exactly we prepare for this...

[ Because this was a Lot. ]

[holeful]

[Hmmmmm]

Well, usually in an investigation, the police don't release all the information to the public. Often the guilty party will reveal themselves by referring to a piece of information like that, that only the killer would know.
