W3, WEDNESDAY;

[crashout]

[At some point during all of this bullshit, some variation of a sexy cop approaches Grune wherever she is. The glasses help hide how much he prays for death.]

Grune, hey...mind if I talk to you for a moment?

Re: W3, WEDNESDAY;

[warmness]

[ i'm so glad for sexy cop junpei

but grune turns to look at him. her usual smile is on her face, although it does look slightly more tired than usual. ]

Of course. What do you need?

[crashout]

[That's something, at least, and he pauses just to nod once.]

I wanted to see how you were, first of all. [Which means there's more to it.] You saw Dimitri last night, didn't you?

[warmness]

[ she just nods ]

Mmhm. He was in the room with us.

[crashout]

Did he say where he was going or why he left?

[warmness]

[ ah

she shakes her head. ]

He just... got up and left. I didn't think it was that weird, since it was still early in the week.

[crashout]

Do you remember what time it might've been? [It's a harder question, but there's a reason.] I want to know...how we could have missed this.

[And also, maybe, if Dimitri really wasn't in control of himself.] ...and you guys are okay, right? Besides the obvious.

[People usually aren't okay when their roommates/brothers/friends/whatever die, he means.]

[warmness]

Don't worry about me. I'm more concerned about my brothers.

[ anyway...

she just shakes her head. ]

I don't know about the time. It was just rather late.

[crashout]

I can still be worried about both, you know. [God no wonder Grune became a genji.]

That sounds about right though. It doesn't look like many of us were even up at that time, much less aware something might've happened. It's been a while since I spoke to him myself but I thought things were okay.

[...he doesn't think it's too related, but at the same time he can't take a chance in not asking.] Do you remember a room from last week? The one you explored with Tamamo and Izuminokami. Um. [He does this with Higekiri sometimes so he pulls out his clamshell to show Grune the pictures of both people.] Them.

[warmness]

That's Kanesan-san, Junpei.

[ who the fuck is izuminokami. anyway. ]

But yes, I remember. I made sure to write it down to make sure I wouldn't forget.

[ ... ]

I don't remember where I put the paper though...

[crashout]

...Kanesan-san, then. [Listen Kanesada told him to call him Izuminokami? He does that? But hm.]

...we can look for it together if you want? It's kind of important to know because it might help us figure out what happened to Dimitri.

[warmness]

Really? Why do you--

[ there's a pause ]

Oh... is it because of the odd circle?

[crashout]

Yes. [Hm. Bad bad bad.] Do you remember seeing...three people in a vision?

W4, SATURDAY;

[crashout]

[Wherever she is, he's making an attempt to find her and he approaches with his hands in his pockets. He imagines it probably won't be as hard on her as Higekiri, and yet...]

...how're you doing?

[warmness]

Oh, you came.

[ well, he did say he would. but she smiles. ]

I'm... okay?

[crashout]

[A light grin.]

Thinking, still? [Again with the questionable answers.] I told you I'd come find you, didn't I?

[warmness]

You did.

[ but it's been a busy night. ]

And yes, I'm still thinking.

[crashout]

We're probably all going to be thinking for a while. [There's a shrug.] I had a couple of things I wanted to ask you, but I figured it was best to do it privately. Do you have a little bit of time?

[warmness]

[ she thinks about it ]

I don't have to return yet, so that's fine.

[crashout]

[There's a nod.]

I'll try not to keep you for too long, but I was hoping to ask you a little more about your role. You're one of the Cockblockers, aren't you?

[warmness]

My role... ah, yes, I block cocks.

[crashout]

[Somehow gearing it phrased that way is a little more awkward. But he moves on. ]

Did you happen to tell someone else this week without them asking you about it first?

[warmness]

Oh... no, I don't think so?

[crashout]

Ah. I was just thinking that might explain the cut on your arm...but maybe Demonmaru really was just trying to frame you. [Which. Sucks.] Hizamaru's the one who told me about you...but I wanted to talk to you personally.

I understand a lot about the other roles, but yours is one of the ones I know the least about.

[warmness]

There aren't a lot of people I've spoken to about it, and they all approached me first.

[ but hm. ]

Feel free to ask whatever.
