[axel, why.]

What?

[leaberator]

[ he smiles, a bit ]

Ah, well, truth is, the items were me.

[nonbelligerent]

[...





he just sighs, but he's smiling.]

I did suspect you of having a role.

[leaberator]

I was pushing the envelope on being a bit too obvious, but Sol keeps telling me to talk to people more. It's kind of a drag, really.

[ ... ]

All I knew for this week was that they were going to be a hint to find the corrupted.

[nonbelligerent]

Do you still think it was Shirasu?

[leaberator]

... Yeah, kinda. Between him and Four, it's a bit much to call it a coincidence. [ there's a grimace ] If it wasn't Hisoka after all, anyway.

[nonbelligerent]

I still don't think it was Hisoka. If it was, he'd likely have been helping Minato. I can't think of anyone else who might want his assistance.

Then again, I don't quite have a record of being correct here.

[which probably means it was hisoka tbh says jan]

[leaberator]

Neither do I, man.

[ the... fucking... horse? ]

But I've got no clue if someone mad enough to murder might have just realized the clown would be along for the ride if it was fun enough.

[nonbelligerent]

That someone would be that level of mad without the corruption and we haven't realized yet is worrying.

[leaberator]

No kidding.

[ it's ... bad, jim. ]

Think we can convince 'em both to check Shirasu?

[nonbelligerent]

I asked her already. She said she'll do her best.

[read: hisoka is the problem.]

[leaberator]

[ he scratches idly at his arm with the hisoka scratch and

sighs ]

At this point, I don't know if he's more or less likely to do it if I ask.

[nonbelligerent]

You should probably stop scratching that.

[do you want your hisoka scratch to scar, axel.]

He's rather unpredictable.

[leaberator]

They're itchy.

[ but he stops. they're just?? annoying??? the sliced arm is fine but kitten scratches? so annoying. ]

Yeah. He makes a big deal about how he doesn't want to die, and then he does... that.

[nonbelligerent]

Perhaps we played into his hands, for better or for worse.

[leaberator]

[ he sighs ]

... Even if it was him, for Naminé's item to work, we needed to catch the corrupted. So I guess it's for the best.

[ god. let's just kill hisoka ]

[nonbelligerent]

[let's just kill hisoka!!]

Yes. It was critical today that we catch an actual corrupted.

[leaberator]

And we did.

[ ... ]

I'm not saving him if he pulls something like that again.

[ let's just let hisoka die, shess. ]

[nonbelligerent]

Even at the cost of your own safety?

[leaberator]

[ no he still thinks it's worth it ]

If he's actively working to mess people up, he's gonna end up tripping us up for real one day.

[nonbelligerent]

That is my concern. We already know he's lying to you as well. Thinking of what would happen if anyone else had been his partner is worrying, as well as if he didn't have anyone to restrain his notes.

[leaberator]

At this rate, he's more of a liability than anything else.

[nonbelligerent]

[...]

Unfortunately so.

[leaberator]

[ ... sighs ]

The right course of action is evading me right about now. Hisoka aside, there's either two or three people out there killing for fun. Not all of them can be him.

[nonbelligerent]

Yes. Even we assume Tokidoki's was done in self-defence, I cannot imagine Kazuaki's being so.
