I've decided Futayo-san that you are the only person I will be able to trust for the duration of this incident. Since I will have to continue to investigate for clues at night and can't do so otherwise, that means I will need you to accompany me indefinitely unless extreme circumstances dictate otherwise.
Are you fine with that, Futayo-san? It means you won't fulfill the 'partner with six different people, stay alive, and you can leave' provision of the rules.
What if one of those other friends, or indeed, anyone, came to you saying: "Hey, that Erika is not your friend. You should kill her, or help me kill her. Or even if she is your friend, kill her anyway."
It is short for 'Judgement'. Those deemed criminals by the Testament Union use it instead of 'yes' or 'understood' to show that they are awaiting retribution...
I heard screaming this morning. When I went to Ichigo-dono's room to look, he threw a leg down the hall and Akira-dono was waking up. I believe he had fallen from the bed because of the noise.
At any rate, we have the hole between our rooms to observe each other. We need not sleep in the same room unless it becomes necessary for some other reason besides confirming our alibis.
Incidentally, Futayo-san, who is that 'one' other friend you mentioned?
Jud. All residents of Musashi and the refugees from Mikawa are deemed criminals due to losing the Harmonic World's and causing the Harmonic Unification War.
... Does that mean we have to talk all night again?
Ichigo-dono says that we're friends. He keeps asking me strange things though.
Possibly. If I watch you go into your room and fall asleep, I can possibly listen to you breathe all night. --But then there is no one to verify my alibi.
When you said Kurosaki-san "threw a leg"... is this slang, or did he really throw a dismembered, bloody leg down the hall? Or some other kind of leg?
[hm... she pauses, considering] May I make a suggestion, Futayo-san? Maybe you should... put off... making any more friends, at least until the conclusion of this incident.

Does this mean we are sharing a room like Ichigo-dono and Akira-dono?

Date: 2017-12-29 11:31 pm (UTC)...Okay. [It's a whine. She could go without sleep, but she likes sleeping.]
Judge. It was a leg. It disappeared after we lost sight of it. [Said like that wasn't very strange.]
Why? [Head tilt?]
no subject
Date: 2017-12-29 11:39 pm (UTC)Then I'm sure your ancestors had their reasons.
Really? A bloody stump of a leg? Was it Sigma Klim's? It must have been attached to someone, at some point.
Aren't I enough of a friend for you, Futayo-san? And Kurosaki-san too, I suppose.
no subject
Date: 2017-12-30 12:28 am (UTC)I do not know. I only saw it for a moment, Ichigo-dono believes that it is though.
Ah, forgive me. I am grateful to finally have more than one friend, I did not mean to offend. It is just that I do not understand why.

Date: 2017-12-30 01:25 am (UTC)Do you need to understand it, strictly speaking?

Date: 2017-12-30 01:40 am (UTC)As the game goes on, the number of people here are going to dwindle and become ever less. There is no time to make so many 'friends'.
At the very least, myself and men like Kurosaki-san will likely survive. --And by extension, you will, too.

Any ideas, Futayo-san?

That's something, at least. Do you have a key, or reasonable substitute?

Judge. [So much detail.]

Whatever. It'll open something. We'll find it, whatever it is.

Date: 2018-01-01 12:54 am (UTC)The only locked door I have seen is the one downstairs. And Raquelle-dono said I was the one most suitable to find it.
