#alastors pulling all the leg work in the covering up crime department

[manate-a]

——   @grimgrinnr​​​  devoured:   ⚰️  Honestly  I'm  mostly  curious  to  see  what  she  and  Al  could  do  with  this  sorta  thing

IF  THEY  KILLED.

MORE  LIKELY  TO  KILL  ?

is there really much of a surprise when i say BOTH ! keiko has no restraint and alastor’s himself—

ONLY  THREATENS,  WOULDN’T  GO  THAT  FAR  ?

mm honestly neither would do that, because I can guarantee you that when Keiko makes a threat, it’s very likely she already planned on following up way in advance. her threats are never empty, and even when they’re abrupt / unplanned she follows through anyways. alastor probably matches this question just a BIT though, because i imagine he’s probably the type to give out thinly veiled threats as warnings and then when further prompted (or, on a whim) he’d act out.

tldr; keiko’s fucking unhinged and alastor maybe kinda sorta fits this?

WHO  FREAKS  &  WHO  IS  CALM  /  COLLECTED  ?

neither of them freak, they’re both level headed and horrifyingly calm for what they dabble in, there’s no panic in either. the ONLY time keiko would ever freak was if she was exposed to something that might spring forth traumatizing memories. there’s a chance that she might freak if her eldritch form was exposed, but it’d be heavily masked and not at all related to the murder, just her own disconnection.

PROVIDES  UTENSILS  TO  DISPOSE  OF  BODY  ?

iiiii would think alastor, honestly. keiko doesn’t really use materials to dispose of bodies, she typically leaves them as is (whether that’s hotel rooms, alleyways, apartments, etc.) and takes her exit. if we’re basing this on pre-hazbin, then yeah maybe alastor tbh!

COMES  UP  WITH  HIDING  PLACE  ?

mm, again. alastor! keiko doesn’t bother with hiding places unless it’s INCREDIBLY incriminating, which she makes every effort in advance for it not to be. it almost sounds laissez - faire, but for her it’s much easier and she’s never had the need to commit a crime with anyone besides herself, so yeah. while she’d make some suggestions, i feel like alastor would be more knowledgable in that regard.

KEEPS  WATCH  FOR  WITNESSES  ?

UHHH this is kind of a tricky question, because logically NEITHER of them would wanna stand guard while the other has their fun lmao. keiko for sure wouldn’t want to unless she was getting something further out of it, so yeah chances are it’d be entirely dependent on that situation itself. keiko’s persuasiveness vs alastor’s rigid goals FIGHT.

HIDES  BODY  &  MURDER  WEAPON  ?

MMMM alastor probably, because keiko doesn’t use murder weapons often! and again, this is entirely verse dependent, but yeah i figure alastor would be more likely. if keiko does use one, she’ll take it with her to later dispose (or keep it on her for future fun) because she doesn’t really ‘hide’ weapons. and she has no need for them anyways? the girl’s strong as fuck and can tear through ribcages and muscle like butter, and even then she has parts of an eldritch form she utilizes more often than not so.

KNOWS  THE  RIGHT  PEOPLE  TO  DEAL  WITH  THIS  ?

alastor definitely LMAO. keiko is an outcast, she’s isolated and distant, she doesn’t HAVE contacts or associates. alastor, at the very least, knows niffty and husk, potentially others too! keiko has, and will always, fly solo. she doesn’t need help with what she does, and if offered she’d sooner tear off their head than accept the offer tbh. she’s just very yknow, “independent”.

ISN’T  DOING  THIS  FOR  THE  FIRST  TIME  ?

boooottthhhhhh, they both have equal experience in the crimes they’ve committed which makes this combo really fuckign deadly but OH WELL GOOD LUCK!

WILL  CAVE  IN  /  CALL  THE  POLICE  ?

neither hello??? though, to be fair, keiko would throw him under the bus if it meant ensuring her own safety, survival, and maaybe just a little bit for funsies. it’s not a distinct guarantee that she WOULD but there’s no saying she wouldn’t. and if she did throw him under the bus it definitely wouldn’t be to the police.

tldr; neither but keiko MIGHT if it was in the interest of herself (and to be a vindictive bitch)

PUT  BLAME  ON  SELF  TO  SAVE  THE  OTHER  ?

neither! they aren’t self - sacrificing, at least to my knowledge anyways and keiko DEFINITELY isn’t self - sacrificing.

IS  THE  BETTER  LIAR ?

both! i imagine their dynamic is very much just mindgames, mindgames, mindgames. what can one get from the other! neither of them would tell the truth and i imagine a lot of their association would be highly unstable? leaning volatile, sans the anger, simply because they’re both very unpredictable! anything could happen yknow, both of them would be shrouded in mystery bc i don’t imagine either would ever give up willing information, and there’d be a lot of deception involved lmao.
