[Don't worry about it.]

But if miss Primrose was willing to confess, why wouldn't she have before?

[kokytos]

Because it would be unwise to do it during the trial itself. Like I said earlier -- she could've risked getting executed if she confessed to the crime in the midst of all of that.

I know HK-47 would have definitely given her a vote.

[holeful]

... Well, like I said, I don't mind if you speak to her. I'm just not going to do anything here that would be difficult and unnecessary.

[kokytos]

Alright, if you insist. I'll leave you out of it, then.

[holeful]

[He settles down.]

Still. It's a little fun to say you know Jack the Ripper, don't you think?

[kokytos]

Well.

Yes and no, but it wouldn't be the weirdest thing. Like I said -- Deldro is a mass serial killer, and I work with him sometimes.

[holeful]

Ah, that's the one who was half a serial killer?

[He laughs.]

Well, I suppose miss Grell was half a serial killer too.

[kokytos]

Well, you know. Deldro is a whole serial killer, it's the Dog and Deldro pair.

You seem fascinated by all this serial killer mention.

[holeful]

Well, it's not something you encounter in everyday life> I mean, for normal people. You've got an unusual life.

[kokytos]

Well, I guess I'm not a normal person then. I did say I did things like hunt vampires and the like.

[holeful]

Well, surely that's not normal even for the world you're from?

[kokytos]

...

I guess not. Vampire hunting is reserved for a very small pool of people.

I sometimes forget the majority of the world is still not so blasé over monsters and murder.

[holeful]

Mm.
[Reaching out drunkenly to pat Steven's leg.]

I'm still not used to it either....

[kokytos]

Still not used to what... monsters and murder? Aren't you supposed to be a Brilliant Detective? At least for the murders part. [ Even if that's only sometimes. ]

week 2, wednesday

[holeful]

[Fukuda is just hobbling around with bloodstains in his clothes but it's fine probably? He wanders into the Simulations Room when he sees Steven, and stops short in the doorway.]

Oh, Steven... Are you busy?

[holeful]

Well I've only been a Brilliant Detective for a few weeks, you know.

[Continuing to pat Steven's leg.]

[kokytos]

[ Fukuda why are you bloody two weeks in a row?

Steven's just kind of standing by the podium in Simulations. The room is currently a recreation of the Libra office, all nice sunshine and green plants. He doesn't look up at Fukuda when he enters, he's had enough of this memshare bullshit. ]

Depends. What do you want?

[kokytos]

[ He puts a hand on Fukuda's wrist. Stop this. ]

...You're just so much and also so little...

[holeful]

[IT WASN'T TWO WEEKS IN A ROW blood kitchen was week 0 curfew. And that wasn't his own blood.]

Ah, well... I need help getting changed.
[Y'know.]

[holeful]

[He's drunk don't talk in riddles.]

Mm? What do you mean by that?

[kokytos]

It means you're so much and yet also, honestly a little useless despite it. [ Brutal. But he does give him a pat on the head. There there. You can just be a civilian. ]

[kokytos]

[ Okay, that gets Steven to look at him almost instinctually with a huge "wtf" expression. Fortunately, it doesn't trigger anything from his side... yet. Just a huge what? ]

You're a grown man, what do you need help getting changed with?

[holeful]

[Trying again to pat Steven's leg.]

I don't know what about me is so much, though...
[Useless, sure.]

[holeful]

.... I don't know. I think it's another one of those strange effects.
[He seems apologetic.]

You're just the first one I found who I'm not worried about seeing my memories.

[kokytos]

[ You poor son of a bitch. Steven just frowns hard at him, illuminated by the scenery. ]

Alright...? So it's your bloodied shirt? Do you have a spare?
