I know. [He looks up to the sky for a moment.] Tamamo, Higekiri, Hizamaru, Katy, and you. Those are the five I thought to ask before Izuminokami died. I have suspicions about someone, and the rest are kind of wildcards for me.

[givethemhell]

[Wei Wuxian becomes a baby cobra and slithers away into the night.

No but he is holding his glass out again HE ONLY LASTED ONE FUCKING TAG. Anyway he doesn't seem surprised by that, what a shock, why is he like that.]

When do you intend on starting your questioning, then?

[crashout]

[LEAVE ME ALONE I'M RIGHT!! Anyway...he'll pour another cup but he doesn't hand it back just yet. Damn gremlin.]

As soon as possible. [But, he tilts his head just slightly.] Should I be starting my questioning with you?

[givethemhell]

[I'M NOT ARGUING

ALSO, HIS ALCOHOL!! He just sits with his hand outstretched, smiling his gremlin smile.]

Haha, should you? It's up to you if you want to start there, isn't it?

[crashout]

[NO!!! THIS IS HIS NOW!!!]

I'm going to because you're just. Like this. And also I kind of get the feeling you know more than you're telling me because nobody else would dodge this much. Play twenty questions with me? Yes or no only because I don't trust you to run me around in circles. [There's still a grin.] Every question you answer, I'll refill the cup. Okay?

[givethemhell]

[FINE!! BE THAT WAY. He pulls his hand back, instead resting both on the countertop after lacing his fingers together.]

I don't know whether to feel flattered or insulted, honestly! [His punkass smile probably gives him away, though. HE THINKS IT'S HILARIOUS.]

Sounds like a fair enough game to me! Let's begin, then.

[crashout]

[Junpei is going to die if this is all for naught, but here we go!]

You lied to me initially about having a role. [Start easy mode first.]

[givethemhell]

Nope! Haha, really now.

[SO LITTLE FAITH IN HIM... Like, fair, but also!!]

[crashout]

I had to ask. [But he slides over the glass as promised.] You know the identity of one of the roles I'm missing.

[givethemhell]

Fair enough, I guess. [He GUESSES. He'll take the glass, though, but only drinks a sip from it before placing it back between them.]

Mm - yes, I do!

[crashout]

[Jesus. ] Is it Izuminokami's old one?

[givethemhell]

That it is!

[Do you know how hard it is for him to try to answer in just yeses and nos, he is exerting so much self control for you right now Junpei and this is still the best he can manage.]

[crashout]

[Good his gremlin trap is working. Hm... ]

Given how this conversation is going...it's you?

[givethemhell]

[HE JUST BEAMS AT THAT YEAAAH and picks up his minus-one-sip glass to take a second sip because there are no rules in this game.]

Right again! Haha, I wasn't trying to make it difficult for you, you know.

[He just talks in circles even without meaning to...]

[crashout]

[...he just takes a long sip from the bottle and lays his upper-half on the bar.]

I hate this game so much. [He looks up though and gives him a lopsided grin.] On the bright side, it went to someone I trust so that helps a lot. Just this morning?

[givethemhell]

[He just... reaches out and pats Junpei's back, as if he himself is not the reason Junpei is laid out across the bar.]

I'm glad for that, too! [And then:] Not this morning! Are we still playing your questions game or are you satisfied with that for now?

[crashout]

Absolutely not because now it changes the entire point. [Thanks for the sympathy, gremlin.]

You found out Friday as soon as we found Izuminokami's body?

[givethemhell]

[He does have at least a little nugget of sympathy to spare, poor Junpei...]

Nope!

[Just a singular no for once... He reaches over to pat Junpei's lil tired noggin.]

[crashout]

[He just kind of whines. Thanks WWX. ]

Yesterday after the exorcism then. When everything changed over and the demon was destroyed.

[givethemhell]

[He's doing his best(???) Maybe...]

Nope! [Hm. After a second of consideration:] You were closer before - the first time.

[crashout]

[...oh. Hm.]

You woke up with it on Friday because he had already been killed by then. The transaction's instant.

[givethemhell]

[Shaking his head!! And gently patting Junpei's head with both of his hands like it's a bongo drum, too.]

The first first one! Before that!

[crashout]

The first one was this morning and you just said--[...] Did you just find out and come straight to me?

[Hilariously he doesn't even care he's currently a drum. It's fine.]

[givethemhell]

I do keep saying we trust you, you know.

[A little bit of gentleness in his tone to match his gently bongo-ing hands. They briefly still, but only so he can rudely ruffle Junpei's hair before leaning back in his seat again.]

Anyway, that's more or less it, give or take a bit.

[This is why JUNPEI SAID YES OR NO ONLY.]

[crashout]

I'm actually starting to believe that. [Why is he just letting this happen. But Wei Wuxian ruffles his hair and Junpei sits up to prop himself up on his elbows.]

This afternoon more or less. So it's whenever the week changes over. That's good to know. [...] You haven't had your meeting with your hosts yet, have you? Or is that how you found out?
