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?

[Kira is just as surprised.]

Someone is dead again?

[actually that is no surprise. But:]

He didn't say who it was....

[somuchshipping]

[Inhuman...

Hermes scratches at the front of one of his front feet.]

...It's Riku or Brain... OrVal! OrAlastor! ...Where'sTheDeadPerson?

[onychomance]

I suppose all we can do is wait for the file to show up or have a look ourselves.

[Kira shrugs. They will find out soon enough]

What were you doing in here, anyway? [Kira looks Hermes up and down.]

[somuchshipping]

[Hermes scratches a little more before deciding to fidget in place.]

I just felt like I needed to punch something for a while, but then I got bored and I guess I fell asleep.

[onychomance]

[He glances at Hermes' feet.... if he was punching the dummies, that must mean he fixed the bad one, he supposes.]

Do you typically fall asleep like that? Standing upright, out of the blue?

[AIs are weird.]

[somuchshipping]

I usually don't need to sleep at all.

[onychomance]

Hm...? Then did you somehow get tired from punching?

[somuchshipping]

[???]

Not really. After a while, I just got... super bored.

[Why didn't you go to the rec room then, Hermes?]

[onychomance]

Why were you even punching things if it was so boring?

[Yeah Hermes, why not?]

[somuchshipping]

I dunno, I just felt like I wanted to at the time.

[Hermes scratches at his front leg again.]

Wait,WhyAreWe TalkingAboutThis? Don't you look around for stuff to find out about the body and who killed it?

[onychomance]

Hmm... I was curious about these things before the body announcement rang out. I suppose poor what's-their-name's death just hasn't sunk in yet.

[But fine, he'll check his watch for the autopsy.]

...Oh... Brain, hm....

[Actually a bit disappointing. Moreso than the other deaths that have happened so far. Huh.]

[somuchshipping]

[Hermes freezes upon hearing who had died.]

Brain...? No... No!

[Hermes LIKED Brain!]

[onychomance]

That annoys me too. Brain was someone I was able to take seriously.

[Kira sighs. He stayed out of it when it was delinquent Kaito, but.]

I suppose he does deserve the investigation.... Well then, I'll be seeing you at trial.
