[crucifer]

Don't we always?

With four bodies, it's gonna be real hard to not try to take things at face value.

We're not gonna be able to afford debating on that kind of stuff.

[ohthehumanities]

I know.

[They fucked up so bad last week, and that was only two bodies. Kaveh kind of thinks it'll be a miracle if they accomplish anything at all tomorrow.]

And I know it would be ridiculous to expect you to believe someone on a suspicious team. I just... [He presses his lips, together.] I guess I just wanted you to know.

[crucifer]

Fine.

[ Kaveh wears his heart so much on his sleeve sometimes, it's nauseating. ]

I dunno how much of a help I'm gonna be, solving murders was never my thing until I ended up here. But at the least, to clear his name, you can find who really did it.

[ohthehumanities]

Mm, I'll try. [He always tries, though he's probably even worse at it than Wolfwood is.] I won't let anything happen to him.

[Though, admittedly--he's worried. Not so much for his team's sake, because Kaveh does not care what Nahida and Shu want; he won't let them come to harm. But he's worried about his own weakness. What if the signs begin to point toward someone he cares about? It's so difficult to picture anyone intentionally trying to frame them; but then, it was difficult to picture someone killing Rin and Buzen, too, so. What the hell does he know.]

I'm not expecting anything extra. [Wolfwood has his own team to take care of, after all.] But thank you, regardless.

[crucifer]

[ Kaveh is really going through it... ]

No promises.

I don't tend to make 'em if I can't guarantee I'll be able to see 'em through.

[ohthehumanities]

[SOMEONE KILL HIM AND FREE HIM OF HIS STRESS.]

That's alright. I appreciate it. [The honesty, he means. It hurts less if things go wrong, that way.

That's all he had to say on the topic, though, so he switches gears.]

Can I ask what happened, yesterday? On your [he grimaces, because he hates the term, but--] special mission?

[crucifer]

Huh? I guess but it wasn't anythin' special.

Showed up at a carnival with a fortune telling machine narrating us. Went on a couple of fucked up rides. Ended it off with a rickety-ass coaster that probably ended up killing us. Killed swim trunks for sure.

[ Where did their souvenir photo go, anyway. ]

[ohthehumanities]

[It can go next to the one from the lesbian execution... that was so long ago now...

ALSO HE JUST KIND OF

OPENS HIS MOUTH AND THEN CLOSES IT AGAIN BECAUSE HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY

how is this both a good and awful explanation at the same time]

[crucifer]

[ HIS APATHY REALLY HAVING HIM GO LIKE yeah so that happened. ]

[ohthehumanities]

[Kaveh's truly just here like "I can't tell if this the curse or if this is just Wolfwood being himself"

....

He waves a hand experimentally in front of Wolfwood]

[crucifer]

[ Just vaguely looks at Kaveh like he's being an alien. ]

[ohthehumanities]

[help



Pushes his luck and reaches out to poke Wolfwood]

/2

[crucifer]

[ Poked in the cheek, eck.




Kaveh gets a little static shock. ]

[crucifer]

[ And then immediately grabs his hand so hard -- a little too hard even, sorry. BUT MORE STATIC SHOCK. ]

The hell are you doing?

[ Well at least he's attentive now. ]

[ohthehumanities]

Ow!

[NOT THE HAND HIS DELICATE ARTIST HAND AUGH]

I was just checking to see how bad your curse is!

[crucifer]

[ LETS GO ]

Quit it, not in the mood right now.

[ He's in vague irritation mode instead now. Which is probably like, if the apathy just seemed odd but unsure, this definitely feels right. ]

[ohthehumanities]

Alright, alright.

[He is annoying but not like that, so he dutifully pulls back, massaging his hand.]

Have you eaten yet?

[crucifer]

...No.

Don't feel like McDonalds. Just came here 'cause I thought it'd be the least popular, since we're gonna be here the whole nine hours tomorrow with four corpses anyway.

[ohthehumanities]

[laughs into the abyss in Saturday evening

But Kaveh doesn't know about that yet so he just nods.]

Let's go get something better, then.

[crucifer]

...Take out.

Don't feel like bein' out for long today.

[ohthehumanities]

Okay.

[He considers asking if Wolfwood wants him to carry anything, but he assumes the answer is no since Wolfwood got here with his stuff fine, so. He just slides out of the booth and puts his hands in his pockets to wait for him.]

[crucifer]

[ Yeah he isn't the type to ask for help most of the time anyway. He'll pack up the first aid kit and his bloodied clothes, pausing a moment to look at his torn up old suit a little bit scornfully, but he's got it under control.

Take him to your favourite restaurant Kaveh he's not picky. ]

[ohthehumanities]

[He'd take him to the fancy Hooters just because he believes in eating the rich('s food when it's free) but Wolfwood said takeout and that restaurant is like, the opposite of that. So he'll wait for Wolfwood to finish up, then start wandering to the diner, since it's a little more substantial than food truck meals but they can probably get it to go, if Wolfwood doesn't want to sit and eat.

He's quiet for a little bit as they walk, mostly just mulling over his own thoughts, though he'll speak up again after a bit.]

Was Livio close to Fukuzawa?

[crucifer]

I dunno about bein' close to him. But he liked that old man, yeah. And the old man was fond of Livio at least.

[ Platonically. The foot fetishgate from Fukuzawa body check..... ]

[ohthehumanities]

That doesn't surprise me. Everyone is fond of Livio, as they should be.

[Local Livio stan defends his son, knows basically nothing about him whatsoever: news at 11.

But Kaveh sighs softly.]

As long as tomorrow's not too hard on him. [He doesn't think it will be, really, not to the extent it would be if it were someone else--but that was still his teammate, after all.]
