THE THIRD INVESTIGATION

THE THIRD INVESTIGATION


[It is very early. Very, very early. It's still night, even. Most are probably still asleep.

They will not be asleep for long.

Not after the screaming suddenly starts coming from the voices outside their doors, if they are in the apartment car, in their rooms.]


Oh god oh god oh god-

B____R! FOOT IN MY MOUTH INDEED!

[And certainly not after the big

BOOM


That suddenly rocks the train. There is screeching, moaning, and a flash of great darkness. Everyone, for a moment, is blinded by blackness. There are shouts and screams that echo, no matter where one is. Smoke and begins to fill the hall of the apartment car.

Whatever has happened-it's bad. It's very bad.

And the darkness is starting to clear up...]

[He stops.....oh no....

Sorry Ris he's leaving your hold to rush to this so.ething's side. Is this a person? If so, please be breathing...]

[Oh, god damn it.]

Minato—

[She's rushing back toward the door to call into the dining car, as loudly as she can.

We found something! Please, come help!

[If someone else attends to this, maybe she can get Minato to continue on...]

[No, no, no.... Oh god... Who is it?]

[And here comes the other body, being carried by Caleb and Mithos. Caleb lowers Tali down and sighs, just giving up and going over to Minato and slinging an arm over his shoulders.]

[ ... And while Caleb is doing that Mithos is going to go and see if Ris is okay once Tali's body is put down. ]

[Ris is just trying to get Minato away from the dead body.

She looks exhausted and frustrated and ready to cry, so, you know. General mood of everyone who isn't dead right about now.]

[ O-Oh ... oh no don't cry Ris. Would it be better if Mithos gently pulls her away a little into a small hug? ]

C'mon ... maybe we can see if Caleb can get him to move ...

[ He'll glance over at Caleb as he says that ]
higanbana: (🔪 2)

[personal profile] higanbana 2019-08-09 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, it's going to be hard to really make this better, but... it does help, yes.

Ris lets go of Minato's sleeve, wrapping her arms loosely around Mithos' waist and dropping her forehead against his shoulder tiredly.

For a day that just started, it sure is long already.]

[ There ... really isn't anything that could make this better but as long as it helps.

Mithos will lean his head towards Ris' when she sets her's against his shoulder.

They can just stay like this until Ris is ready to pull away it's fine. Mithos can investigate after Ris feels better. ]

[It's a long, long few moments before Minato responds. He's still shaking, still feels sick...]

Caleb...?
katzenpfote: (embarrassed)

[personal profile] katzenpfote 2019-08-09 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I am here.

... Go and clean yourself up before you start investigating. Trying to focus with vomit in your mouth will not help matters.

[Once she's called for backup, Ris runs over to Minato, trying to pull him back up and away from the body.]

Minato, other people are coming. They'll find out what we need to. You're sick, we need to get you help

[This is probably some pretty useless tugging, huh.]
unwittingking: (I don't know what I'd do)

[personal profile] unwittingking 2019-08-09 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
...no...

[It small. Quiet. No one would be blamed if they didn’t hear it.

But he speaks again, louder, punching the nearest wall to punctuate it.]


Damn it, no!

[Hi, King, Charlotte is just... sort of gracelessly crumpling on the floor next to you now.

No words, just... ever seen someone drop a marionette so the strings all tangle? Yeah, she's close to that level of limp with unsettlingly angled limbs. Hasn't fainted, but... looks like it was a near thing.]

unwittingking: (I don't know what I'd do)

[personal profile] unwittingking 2019-08-09 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Damn it, damn it...

[Two kids are dead and he could do nothing to save them...

He almost doesn’t notice Charlotte, so caught up in his whirlwind of self-deprecation. Key word being almost. He glances over at her and slowly gets to her side, hugging her.]


We’ll...we’ll figure this out. I promise. We will get justice for them.

[Half of him is trying to comfort her, while the other half is trying to convince himself. He hates this, God he hates this.]

[personal profile] charmingheroine 2019-08-09 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Does "Justice" even exist someplace like this?

[She's hugging him back as though she's not sure he'll stay real when she lets go. Her voice, while muffled and tiny, is oddly steady given that. Steady and exhausted and bleak. (Oh my.)]
unwittingking: (I don't know what I'd do)

[personal profile] unwittingking 2019-08-09 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I...I don't know, but it doesn't matter. We'll figure it out. We will get justice.

The kind we know of.

[His own voice is sort of similar. Like he's about to scream, but also reassuring. Stressed, but soothing.

They're going to figure this out. No matter what.]
unwittingking: (P A N I C)

[personal profile] unwittingking 2019-08-09 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[...oh WHAT THE FU-]

What’s going on?!

[Running in because WHYYYYYYYYY]
