I keep thinking about the four we rechecked. Their footprints.

We know where Phoenix was. I do not think he is responsible-- [or he doesn't want to.] What about the others?

[burningrescue]

I dunno. Who was it again? [Geez, Galo.] Stefano, Ash, and Akechi...? I dunno if the shoe was related, but it had to get out there somehow, right?

[madburnout]

Phoenix and Akechi keep notes. Perhaps they have an idea of where everyone was.

[ . . . ]

Stefano kept arguing that Asch was responsible. Repeatedly.

[burningrescue]

That jumped out at me too. I felt like. Most people voted for Asch cause they didn't know who to suspect, and he was telling people it was okay. It was an excuse. He was the only one I saw going hard for saying it really was Asch.

I'm not a genius level detective or the brightest guy, but I couldn't see it being him at all.

[madburnout]

. . . He is. [Hm. how to put this.] Interested in me. I will speak to him, see if I can get any information.

[burningrescue]

[Uh.

Uhhhhh.

Uhhhhhhh?]

H-hold on! If he's a weredragon, couldn't that be dangerous?

[madburnout]

[Bud.]

I am not scared of him. He is welcome to try.

[burningrescue]

You can't go around just seducing everybody who might be a killer, Lio!

[madburnout]

[SEDUCING..........................]

I am not going to seduce him, I am going to speak with him, and if I have to indulge his weird desire to . . . take pictures, then so be it.

[burningrescue]

This fuckin' guy. It's not bad enough he bit Nia's head off and framed Asch and the kraken...

[Still making a face, like take pictures is the nastiest, most perverted thing a nasty killer could do.]

I'll talk to 45 - she was the one checking people's curfews and stuff. Maybe she's got a handle on it.

[madburnout]

We don't know that he did it.

[Also, why does Galo care so much?? He doesn't ask the question, because . . . he's got some inkling of the answer, but that's ridiculous.]

Alright.

[burningrescue]

Yeah, I know, I know. I'm not gonna go around accusing him until we know for sure.

[Come on, Lio. It's the most obvious thing in the world.]

[madburnout]

[Well. Okay. Yeah. It's super obvious Galo wants to bone him. But is it a good idea to indulge that horny instinct. Is it. Galo could make moves if he wanted, but he doesn't seem to be.]

You should be careful as well, if he is a weredragon. [ . . . ] Do not take that as a challenge.

[burningrescue]

Hmph. I'd really like to fight that dragon.

[But he nods, anyway.]

[madburnout]

Desire to fight dragons is not a good enough reason.

[HE JUST SAID NOT TO. YOU WILL DIE, GALO. THEY JUST HAD A DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS. Anyway. Sitting in silence now. A little awkward?]

[burningrescue]

I won't, I won't.

[...Yeah. It is awkward. Sitting for a minute, fidgeting a lot because he can't sit still and quiet it's not possible.]

Hey, don't take this the wrong way, okay?

[madburnout]

[That was just said exactly in the tone of someone who's about to say some shit that can and will be taken the wrong way. Narrowing his eyes, fixed on him. Like a werehorse zeroing on its prey. Continue.]

[burningrescue]

[Defensive] You always get mad if I try to ask if you're fine about things! But, like. Are you fine staying in here on your own? It's kind of depressing.

[madburnout]

[Uh, well. Getting kinda mad! Mostly because he was set up to be defensive.]

What are you suggesting instead?

[burningrescue]

You can crash with us? Or I can keep you company?

[madburnout]

[I see, Galo. I see. You've seen that Lio now has a free bed in his room and want to move up from the floor.]

I have been on my own before.

[Not arguing that it isn't depressing.]

[burningrescue]

[This isn't a move it's 100% altruistic okay!!!!]

Sure. I'm just asking what you want. You can say no!

[madburnout]

I won't impose on UMP 45.

[That isn't like. a no you can't stay here though.]

[burningrescue]

[It's not a yes, either, Lio! Making an unimpressed face.]

Just tell me what you want! Sheesh!

[madburnout]

[He doesn't know what he wants!!! You're very confusing, Galo!!!!!]

Stay if you want, I don't care.

[HE CLEARLY CARES SOME]
