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.]]

[ c-ta was actually looking to find suga...and while he's not surprised to find him in a workshop, considering his portrait, he is a little surprised to find a treasure box's worth of jewelry with him.

he sure works fast, huh... ]


Did you make all of these, Suga?
gemuinemanagement: (Emily Snow surely I know)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-08 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Suga nods, and starts going through the jewelry hoard with purpose before pulling an emerald teardrop-shaped pendant, which he stands up and approaches C-ta with.

It is, notably, a very close match for the shade of C-ta's eyes.]
mearry: (the c)

[personal profile] mearry 2021-06-08 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Suga...?

[ c-ta's smile freezes as he looks at the pendant. his gaze then goes back to suga, and then back to the pendant.

...? ????????? ????? ]


You made that for me?
gemuinemanagement: (when you're not here)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-08 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Nod! If there are no objections, then he'll loop it carefully around C-ta's neck.]

[ well he's not going to pull away, but suga will definitely see him turn red. there might as well be steam coming from the top of his head. ]

You know I don't have anything to give you, Suga...
gemuinemanagement: (we've got our guns and horses)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-08 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
[? what's embarrassing about this]

You don't have to
I just hope you like it
mearry: (!C-ta-Icon-518)

[personal profile] mearry 2021-06-08 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ he's dying, janet.

or maybe not. just...breathe in. chill. be chill. ]


Of course I do. Especially since you made it, Suga.

[ he'll hold the pendant in his fingers, smiling warmly. ]

That just makes it special for the two of us.
gemuinemanagement: (she makes the sound)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-08 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
I'm glad
It won't protect you like my charms should, but
I worked hard on it still


[If he could use his skills to keep C-ta safe and give him something pretty at the same time, that would be ideal, but he'll do what he can.]
mearry: (pic#6796026)

[personal profile] mearry 2021-06-08 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
That's fine.

[ he'll try to reach for suga's hand. ]

I'm just glad that you cherish our friendship as much as I do.
gemuinemanagement: (for which I paid dearly)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-08 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Suga intertwines their fingers together.]

Of course
You're a wonderful friend
mearry: (!C-ta-Icon-771)

[personal profile] mearry 2021-06-08 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it's because I have someone to look out for.

[ because that's what a friend does, right? ]
gemuinemanagement: (I know you've been burned)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-08 10:50 am (UTC)(link)
[That does sound like friendship, but...]

It's because you're you
mearry: (pic#6796121)

[personal profile] mearry 2021-06-08 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
...Jeez, Suga. You're so straightforward sometimes.

[ for some reason, it feels a bit painful to hear. bittersweet. he grips suga's hand a little tighter, as if he were afraid that the other would just disappear. ]

Can I stay here with you, then?
gemuinemanagement: (where is the dream)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-08 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course
But it's not very interesting to watch me work


[He's sure C-ta will get bored and wander off.]
mearry: (pic#6472239)

[personal profile] mearry 2021-06-08 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
As if I'd get bored watching you.

[ this is very heterosexual ]
gemuinemanagement: (spoon as sleep starts)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-08 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
If you're sure

[The most straight interaction possible.]
mearry: (!C-ta-Icon-518)

[personal profile] mearry 2021-06-08 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Certain.

[ he'll even pull a chair to sit right next to him ]
gemuinemanagement: (why don't you mind)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-08 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, if he really wants to. Suga gets back to work, picking up a ruby and carefully chiseling it into a heart shape.

No particular reason.]
mearry: (q6SFmIC)

[personal profile] mearry 2021-06-08 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[ c-ta watches in silence, for the most part, just following suga's actions. it definitely is a bit boring, but the fact that it's suga that's working on it makes it interesting enough for c-ta to continue watching. ]

Hmm...that's looking nice. [ he hums. ] You're good at this.
gemuinemanagement: (and pulse to pulse)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-08 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
You're very kind
I just have a lot of practice
mearry: (pic#6472245)

[personal profile] mearry 2021-06-08 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Taking compliments is difficult for you, isn't it?

[ he'll reach to ruffle suga's hair. ]

That's good, though. To have something you like to do.
gemuinemanagement: (I'd do it all for you)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-08 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[His face is very red for extremely heterosexual reasons.]

I hope it makes people happy
mearry: (!C-ta-Icon-515)

[personal profile] mearry 2021-06-08 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ...

he smiles. ]


It makes me happy.
gemuinemanagement: (I wish I could be it all for you)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-08 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I'm happy too
mearry: (pic#6796071)

[personal profile] mearry 2021-06-09 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ suga ur gonna kill him.

he looks at him for a long moment, before sighing. even though there are so many people...

he'll just continue watching him, leaning his head against suga's shoulder. ]
