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.

[leaberator]

And there's no telling if Tokidoki's killer was the same as either of Kazuaki's.

[nonbelligerent]

[he nods.]

Though if we assume the earth manipulation was Fujino's doing and the one air power usage was Kazuaki, that only leaves the two water powers.

[leaberator]

It'd help if we knew for certain what either of their powers were.

[ hm. ]

How big of a favor do you think that info needs?

[nonbelligerent]

[hmmm.]

I'm not sure. To get the precise alignments of the deceased, Lune gave me a mostly harmless, if uncomfortable task. [talking about something that could almost veer into feelings? ugh.] I imagine that would be a step above.

[leaberator]

Sooo... painful, but doable?

[nonbelligerent]

Can't say for sure until you ask one of them.

[leaberator]

Wanna split it fifty-fifty? You do one, I do the other?

[nonbelligerent]

Is that what we're doing now?

All right, depending on what the task ends up as. What exactly are we confirming?

[leaberator]

What exactly Kazuaki and Fujino's special powers were? That's one way to make sure they were or weren't used.

[nonbelligerent]

I'm not sure if we have to confirm Fujino. If Kazuaki was air, then Fujino must be earth, and knowing what power she used won't help with any of the other deaths.
