THE THIRD INVESTIGATION
(~SK. 17)


[It's Friday, Friday. Or...something like that. What is up with the calendar in this place?


Anyways, everyone knows what's happened in the past two weeks: someone has died. And, unfortunately, there's no reason to think someone else has not fallen prey to someone who wishes to fulfill the motive. But...maybe you're lucky this time. Maybe someone doesn't have someone they hate enough to kill for. Let's be honest with ourselves-saving someone you love is understandable. Switching with someone you hate? Surely no one would go that far for someone that they don't like.



Right?

Hey! I'm not complaining, but put a shirt on!

[ Aoi here. being helpful. ]

[pegasinister]

...

[He goes back in and comes back out with his shirt half on and stomps right past Aoi with intent to find Brain's body]

[jinglebros]

[ Aoi follows, concerned. ]

He was your friend, right?

[pegasinister]

... I would... say he was more so than not.

[Aka Bert speak for 'yes']

[jinglebros]

[ Aoi puts a hand on his shoulder. ]

Take a beat. Calm down. You can't help him like this.

[pegasinister]

[He jerks away, looking about to snap at Aoi-

-only to swoon a bit and have to lean against the wall]

[jinglebros]

[ Aoi quickly closes the distance left between them, giving Hubert support with his shoulders. ]

We're going to get you sitting, okay.

[ It's not a question. ]

[pegasinister]

[he glares viciously, but his blood sugar is so shit he really has no choice]

[jinglebros]

Yeah, yeah. I know, I'm the enemy. Take it out on me all you want.

[ He's being serious as he helps him back to his room. ]

[pegasinister]

Do not give me an excuse.

[He sits down right away... and puts his face in his hands]

[jinglebros]

[ Aoi sits down with him, and puts an arm around him. He says nothing else. ]

[pegasinister]

[he doesn't say more for awhile]

...I am being... ridiculous, I know.

[jinglebros]

Then I was ridiculous after Moriarty was executed.

And you let me.

[pegasinister]

... I suppose you're right.
