[ there percy was, innocently going to get some lunch, when suddenly he's face with an emo sword. sucks for him. kara doesn't offer any greeting, but he's just finished cooking, and is taking a pot off the stove when percy arrives. what up, fish jesus. ]
[Sup emo sword. Percy's going to be cautious as he enters, eyeing Kara curiously as he pulls the pot off of the stove and as Percy himself slinks into the kitchen. He doesn't know how to cook, not really, but...he figures he can at least rub two braincells together enough for a sandwich.
However, it feels weird to just be here without saying anything, so it takes a moment before he draws attention to himself.]
What're you making? [Because it's light and conversational, and it's way better than saying "are you okay?" to a stranger, especially when he can probably guess the answer.]
[ he almost doesn't answer. but kara doesn't cook only for himself, after all. there's plenty, if percy wants some, and this is better than having to acknowledge his failure to protect tsuru a second time. ]
Oh. Smells good. [He may actually take some, but for now he's surveying the pot and letting his eyes drift elsewhere.] May as well keep busy. [And then there's a pause.]
So what's next on the menu? [It's not about food, but it's phrased well enough that Kara can either take it as a literal question or a way of Percy asking what he plans to do now that something like this has happened. Does he know Tsuru and Kara know each other well enough? No. Does he recognize this sucks no matter what? Yes.]
What. [Now he just sounds ??? He'll get back to the Tsurumaru subject in a second but ???] What do you mean no one can see it? [My excuse is he probably ran after Damian immediately and missed everyone panicking everywhere.]
Not to me. We weren't able to find any clues at all before - not until the trials. But if this is what replaces the dreams, maybe it's meant to be a hint of where to look again, once they start.
They were like glimpses of what might have happened to the victims. Nothing too obvious, but we saw them and their immediate surroundings... but only for a few seconds before their deaths.
There could be some minor differences, and it was always vague enough that we didn't always know for sure how they died. But it almost always matched, once someone looked at the bodies, and all of us saw them.
[ he looks a little ruffled by that part in particular. ]
Restricting only a few of us to seeing those hints could make it even easier for someone to get away with murder.
Sounds familiar enough. [That's murmured to himself, but moving right along...] But you're right. Especially if the people who see those hints aren't going to share. We don't know if the murderers will be checking out their own clues or investigating their own crime scenes either. In our game, we had a few different killers search for and investigate the bodies they hid the night before.
[Spoilers: one of those killers was him, but he will just keep that to himself.]
That's what I meant, yeah. They'll have knowledge we don't, and knowing what we see, and the few who see it, could make protecting themselves easier. I'd have preferred the dreams, I think.
Yeah, you and me both. But maybe we can figure out a way to pinpoint the people that're coming across these clues. If we have one or two people going around finding the source and then spreading the information to the rest of us...at least it'd put us all on the same page before the trial starts.
What? No way, that's not what I meant! I was thinking people like...I don't know, Lili? Dick? People like that. [HE DID HIS TIME HE DOESN'T WANT TO AGAIN. Also this answer would be wildly different if I wasn't modding.]
[How did they get here? That's a great question, but today both Kara and Percy are inside the portal and inside Cunning's wing, though Percy might not know that right away. Instead, he seems to have found himself with a sword and is going through several practice swings and warm-ups, the flat of his blade slapping into a few training dummies as he goes. But he's on guard now, in the zone, and when he hears footsteps he looks up at Kara and blinks in surprise.]
Yeah. We train with these all the time, so figured they'd still be waiting. Anything you want to go over, or just go for it? [But he's busy adjusting the sword in his hand to prepare to fight.]

[ he's stupid, percy. ]
no subject
Not exactly what I meant. [But also boo.] More like...what do we do now? Why aren't people searching for clues already?
[WHAT IS HAPPENING, basically.]
no subject
We find whoever killed Tsurumaru, and we find out why they did it. Then we take care of it.
[ ookurikara will kill them himself, if given the chance. ]
...We did find some clues, but it wasn't much. And it sounds like no one else can see it.
