CHAPTER 2

CHAPTER 2




The first chapter was over. The stakes and mechanics of the system you're in have been shown to their full extent, and regardless of how you feel about the Samidare and Zola's deaths, the story must go on.

Clean-up is done with a perfection that'd make you wonder if there ever was a murder on that rooftop in the residential district. Everything is spotless and repaired, making it look like nothing ever happened. If it wasn't for the absence of two people among your number, you'd think it had all been a bad dream. But it wasn't. The brutality of the incident and the execution make that plainly clear.

Now, with the opening of a new week, something else opens. Lands beyond the area you spent seven days in. What will the new week bring? Will it be another murder?

Keep turning the pages and find out.

[[Welcome to Week 2! Feel free to make top levels at your discretion, and remember to note it in your header if you plan on investigating any locations. However, please try to keep investigations to Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday! You can also privately contact Hamelin at your leisure.

In addition, a reminder that any Murder Proposals for this week are due by Tuesday 3:00 PM EST/12:00 PM PST! However, please note that you have the option of submitting murder proposals for a later week as well.]]

[bling, bling everywhere]

It's helping with my stress
Do birds wear jewelry
libirdian: (mourning dove)

[personal profile] libirdian 2021-06-08 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ Completely understandable. It's been a rough weekend for most of them. ]

Mostly things like necklaces, anklets, and hat decorations. Nobirdie really wears anything on their wings.
gemuinemanagement: (and pulse to pulse)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-08 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Hm, okay. Suga roots around in his pile for a bit before finding a pendant that he made adjustable for size. Most of his jewelry is designed to go on humans, but maybe this would work?]
libirdian: (unusual conversations)

[personal profile] libirdian 2021-06-08 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ That takes Nageki by surprise, since he took it as a standard "is that a thing birds do?" question. But he won't say anything about stopping since he does understand that stress making is a thing. ]

What kind is it?

[ Gems are something that he hasn't read a lot about, to tell the truth. ]
gemuinemanagement: (where is the dream)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-08 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
It's a peridot
It kind of matches your tie


[It's hard to accessorize for birds.]
libirdian: (sky watching)

[personal profile] libirdian 2021-06-08 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
True, it looks similar. My tie doesn't nearly have as nice a color though.

[ He's never been a fashionable bird. ]
gemuinemanagement: (people come and people go I know)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-08 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Carefully, Suga loops the pendant over Nageki's neck, and adjusts it a little so it fits him better. It looks nice, he thinks!]
libirdian: (someone calling)

[personal profile] libirdian 2021-06-08 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you, Mister Suga. [ He appreciates the help since wings make clasps hard to work with. ] I hope I don't make it look weird. My plumage is pretty plain.
gemuinemanagement: (where is the dream)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-08 10:51 am (UTC)(link)
You look fine

[He thinks? He's not sure what makes a bird good-looking, but he's sure Nageki probably is cute.]
libirdian: (unusual conversations)

[personal profile] libirdian 2021-06-09 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
That's a relief. What did you want in return?

[ Since it's not like he ever did fulfill his promise about the gems and all. ]
gemuinemanagement: (why don't you mind)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-09 10:49 am (UTC)(link)
I don't want anything

[If they don't have glowstone in a literal cache of gems, they just don't have it, it's fine.]
libirdian: (mourning dove)

[personal profile] libirdian 2021-06-09 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ it's the curse of wanting to fulfill his promises alas ]

...Okay, if you're sure. Feels weird not to though, since it looks like something you could get at a store.
gemuinemanagement: (people come and people go I know)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-10 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
There's nothing I really need
Money wouldn't be any use here anyway
libirdian: (thinking options)

[personal profile] libirdian 2021-06-10 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
True, this place mysteriously doesn't need it... At least that's one less thing to keep track of. I worried a lot about it before.

[ He still wants to know how this place can actually keep running with just apparent fairy maintenance alone. ]
gemuinemanagement: (you move so fast)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-10 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
I don't hate that part
I get to eat a lot better than I do at home
libirdian: (reading books)

[personal profile] libirdian 2021-06-10 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ He nods in agreement. ]

That's good at least. It is nice to actually be able to eat again.
gemuinemanagement: (you're so worth it)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-10 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
What were you eating before

[Because clearly Nageki doesn't mean he was just not eating? Then he'd die?]
libirdian: (thinking options)

[personal profile] libirdian 2021-06-10 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
...Mostly seeds. [ Backpedaling--humans aren't all as observant as Miss Tosaka. ] What about you?
gemuinemanagement: (where is the dream)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-10 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
[observant is a word to use to describe her]

Raw fruit and vegetables mostly
Things I can't ruin
libirdian: (unusual conversations)

[personal profile] libirdian 2021-06-10 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ eyup. more like "observant" ]

Wait, what do you mean "ruin"?
gemuinemanagement: (now all the late night bars)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-10 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
My cooking isn't very good

[understatement of the year]
libirdian: (thinking options)

[personal profile] libirdian 2021-06-10 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Cooking is pretty hard though. I wasn't really allowed to help much, but it does look pretty hard without instruction.
gemuinemanagement: (and pulse to pulse)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-10 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
You'd think I'd get better eventually though
libirdian: (unusual conversations)

[personal profile] libirdian 2021-06-10 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
There's a lot to remember. I'm sure you'll be fine with practice, even if it's just one dish.
gemuinemanagement: (but every fire)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-10 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
You have a lot more confidence in me than I do
