[ when things are... debatably calming down, akane starts to disperse from the area trial.
and nearly trips over kazuaki. she catches herself before actually making contact and has to awkwardly side-step to keep her balance, but hey. didn't kick a bird! ]
[a few hours after sunrise, Kazuaki comes out of his house with a little pouch made of cloth. he looks nervous but, well, lbr, he always looks a little nervous.]
[he makes his way up to the shrine and-]
Sh- Shinjou-san! Um, Shinjou-san, I- um- I wanted to ask you a- a favor...
[ When you're giving someone half the pills that killed you in a place where people might kill... It seems like maybe that's a first-name-basis kind of thing. ]
[ It's a nice, quiet place, so she likes it. Not a whole lot of people around all the time. Akane is playing on her phone, but perks up at the sight of Kazuaki and smiles. ]
It was really scary to admit it to everyone, like that...
[ Akane isn't exactly surprised he'd tell her--he already trusted her with the pills, after all. But still, it takes her a moment before she breaks into a smile. ]

Oopsie. Sorry about that.

Date: 2019-06-09 01:36 am (UTC)Huh? O- Oh, it's fine, it's...
[.................. wibble]
It's not really fine, is it?...
[not the tripping but like. YOU KNOW.]
no subject
Date: 2019-06-09 01:43 am (UTC)It would be worse if someone corrupted was still just running around freely, right?
no subject
Date: 2019-06-09 02:03 am (UTC)But, um, whatever that was didn't sound like it was going to stop. S- So, whenever they do... that it might just move to another birdie, right?

Date: 2019-06-09 02:06 am (UTC)[ yeah she's not super pumped about this whole situation and set up. ]

Date: 2019-06-09 02:42 am (UTC)D- Do we have another choice?
no subject
Date: 2019-06-09 02:47 am (UTC)I don't think we do. I think we're powerless, here.
no subject
Date: 2019-06-09 02:52 am (UTC)[even though that feels like a bitter pill to swallow]
no subject
Date: 2019-06-09 02:58 am (UTC)So we get a little bit of a breather before the next murder.

Sh- Shinjou-san! Um, Shinjou-san, I- um- I wanted to ask you a- a favor...
[he shifts on his feet back and forth]
no subject
Date: 2019-06-12 04:23 am (UTC)[ As Kazuaki approaches, Akane drops down to crouch at his level, crossing her arms on top of her knees. ]
A favor? What is it?
no subject
Date: 2019-06-12 04:30 am (UTC)Um... I was thinking about a lot of things after the trial- and-
[he stares at the ground between them]
Y-You know how any of us could be corrupted next?
no subject
Date: 2019-06-12 04:33 am (UTC)Are you nervous?
no subject
Date: 2019-06-12 04:38 am (UTC)B- But, I'm worried for everyone else, t-too! I'm nervous I might e-end up doing something and I- I don't want anyone to get hurt...
no subject
Date: 2019-06-12 04:39 am (UTC)It's kind of lucky you're so little, you know? It might be hard for you to hurt anyone. Unless you peck them a bunch.
[ Just trying to lighten the mood! ]
no subject
Date: 2019-06-12 05:04 am (UTC)[he offers the cloth package to akane]
Do you remember how- how there was the stuff in our houses to tell us it was ours?...
no subject
Date: 2019-06-12 05:06 am (UTC)Mm-hmm. My house had my cell phone.
What's this?
no subject
Date: 2019-06-12 05:16 am (UTC)[and when she opens the package there will be 5-6 pills of different sizes and shapes]
I- I'm pretty sure they were the pills that... you know... killed me.
no subject
Date: 2019-06-12 05:27 am (UTC)Why are you giving them to me...? Do you... Do you even know what these pills are?
no subject
Date: 2019-06-12 05:36 am (UTC)[he flails his wings wildly as he speaks]
And, s-so, I'm giving you half. That way, I can't...
[gulp]
I can't use them.
no subject
Date: 2019-06-12 05:48 am (UTC)This way neither of us have enough to hurt anyone, right?
no subject
Date: 2019-06-12 05:54 am (UTC)[he doesn't even wanna think about it]
S- So, if I ever ask for them back, definitely don't give them to me!
no subject
Date: 2019-06-12 05:59 am (UTC)I promise not to give them back. I guess the same thing goes for me. If I ask for the rest of these, don't give them to me.
no subject
Date: 2019-06-12 06:04 am (UTC)... thank you, Shinjou-san. There's only a people of people I've, um, mentioned dying to s- so I'm glad I can trust you with them...
no subject
Date: 2019-06-12 06:00 pm (UTC)[ When you're giving someone half the pills that killed you in a place where people might kill... It seems like maybe that's a first-name-basis kind of thing. ]
no subject
Date: 2019-06-14 07:43 pm (UTC)... A- Akane. [he wasn't even on first-name basis with uzune-kun...!]
no subject
Date: 2019-06-14 07:59 pm (UTC)And can I call you Kazuaki-kun? [ she'll still stick with the -kun. Hmm. ]
no subject
Date: 2019-06-15 03:21 am (UTC)[maybe, for all he knew, he was being too forward by dropping it entirely- and, well, he likes the sound of her saying it]
no subject
Date: 2019-06-15 03:39 am (UTC)[ :)! ]
Let's get through this together, okay? If we stay careful, I bet we can make things better around here.
Week 2 | Wednesday Morning
Date: 2019-06-18 06:21 pm (UTC)[... it's like their secret spot! it makes him feel lighter than air, honestly. this sort of thing... he hasn't done it since he was a chick!]
Akane! Akane, I wanted to talk to you!
[the tiny pitter-patter of quail feet as he darts over]
no subject
Date: 2019-06-18 06:27 pm (UTC)What is it?
no subject
Date: 2019-06-18 06:29 pm (UTC)[which, well, he doesn't like bringing up the trial once it's done- way too depressing, but-]
And since it was probably scary to share- I wanted to tell you- we've got the same magic!
no subject
Date: 2019-06-18 06:44 pm (UTC)[ Akane isn't exactly surprised he'd tell her--he already trusted her with the pills, after all. But still, it takes her a moment before she breaks into a smile. ]
Really? We're matchy-matchy!
no subject
Date: 2019-06-18 06:46 pm (UTC)I- I haven't really been able to practice too much, just little things but, um, I feel really motivated, knowing we match...
no subject
Date: 2019-06-18 07:11 pm (UTC)But it's nice to feel like I have a partner! [ Well. A second partner, after Milla? ]
