[ch. 5] post-investigation, w/ the scooby gang

[asswipe]

[SETTING THIS UP IN ZIA'S PLACE, AS ZIA IS CURRENTLY PERISHING.

Anyway— After everyone has the time to get together again, the Scooby Gang will be ushered into Veronica's room.]

... So, um. I shared the numbers thing with Souji, Dazai and Evan. Just— Just thought I should tell you now, in case it comes up later. [And y'all don't freak!!] What else do we have? Besides the crippling knowledge that we, somehow, missed a whole fucking dead body.

I suppose they're under similar restrictions as the Blotters, then- or even the rest of us in public, considering.

That would make sense, wouldn't it? And using Akechi is the smart choice, since he still has the largest target on his back. If people knew he had a role, they would be less likely to kill him.

[ especially when the other historians are still mostly hiding. ]

Not to mention, Eichi's our shield. If the other Historians know about that, too, it makes more sense that they're risking Akechi's neck if Eichi can protect him every week.

[a beat.]

... Assuming the Shield can pick the same person each week, anyway. Do we know if that's possible?

[alchemenace]

I didn't ask... But since Akechi is still alive, I'd say the probability of it is pretty high.
