WEEK 1
[You now know why you're here, Titled. The question now is, is there a way to get out of here without invoking the rules? What will those who brought you here do to get you to kill?
Time will tell.
There are fifteen strangers in this place.]
no subject
[Just. Going to pointedly ignore that it's obvious he already knew about Akira.]
And the public certainly seems to see it...somewhat differently. They regarded the Thieves being the downfall of a criminal who had actively eluded the police for quite some time to be a sign of our failing. It was quite bad for their faith in our abilities.
no subject
[ There is so much passion in her voice right now, good lord. ]
You're doing your hardest work out there to help people! And you're so young! It's admirable and dedicated, and if anyone has anything to say about it, they can answer to me!
no subject
[ Akira's finally walking over, drink in hand. He's glancing from one to the other while taking a sip of it. His gaze finally comes to rest on the good detective as he says the next part, drink lowered. ]
It's not always about being acknowledged or having a bunch of random strangers on your side.
[ A thoughtful, perfectly innocent expression. ]
You could just use it to your advantage, too. [ Glancing at his drink, swirling the contents gently, almost like he's holding a damn glass of wine......... ] When people don't expect much from you, it leaves room for surprises.
no subject
Haa...I often wish it was so easy. It's difficult for someone in my position to completely divorce myself from the opinions of the public. I...don't really have anyone I can seek support from, should my fans turn against me.
[He turns a faint smile toward Akira.]
Excepting you, of course, Kurusu-kun.
no subject
You can rely on me for that support! You're a very strong, gifted young man who, if I might be blunt, couldn't have gotten that position so early without working very hard for it! If they have a problem with you, then they have a problem with me. And I'd like to see them become detectives at your age. Most of those people are just whiners, anyway, always complaining and never actually doing anything, never giving anything constructive, they just want more out of you and half the time, even if you give them more, they don't even KNOW what they want.
Don't listen to their negative criticism! Never let it bring you down!
[ Does she sound like she's speaking from the heart here? She sure as fuck is. ]
Listen to your friends, like me and Mister Kurusu!
no subject
Of course.
[ It's a couple of seconds after Ursula's impressive speech, he nods. There's nothing he could say to top any of that, honestly, so he settles for: ]
We've got your back.
[ And his head tilts to the side, his smile softening around the edges as he glances to Ursula. ]
You're pretty amazing at this. [ A quiet chuckle. ] I'll have to learn from you.
no subject
[ She clears her throat. Oh god she got too passionate, didn't she? ]
A-ah, well--I just... I understand that sort of thing. As a teacher.
[ Lying liar who lies. ]
no subject
Thank you. I do appreciate both of your support.
no subject
[ The look he gives Akechi in return is almost matching perfectly in terms of fondness. ]
No need to thank me, Akechi-san.
no subject
[ She's got a lot of fire behind that sentence. ]
If you need anything at all, please, come to us, okay?
