{tsurugi} can you pleaseeee give us some help.. -iris
Maeda, narrating - Mhm! Mhm mhm.
Maeda - God.
Maeda, exasperated - God. Okay. Let’s do this again.
Maeda - We- I’m not asking him to solve the case for us, but he needs to throw us a bone.
~*~
Maeda - Guys, Maki’s right.
Maeda - We can’t afford to guess on what happened, and vote based on a whim.
Maeda - If we get this wrong, it’s execution. Not just death, it’s- it’s the type of death Inori faced, and the type of death Yamaguchi faced, and it’s getting all of us.
Maeda - …Except for the blackened.
Ōtori - …
Ōtori - Okay, and what are you suggesting we do about the case, Maeda?
Maeda - …
Kobashikawa - …You were the one who said we shouldn’t check for bruises because it isn’t substantive enough. What do you have that we can build a case off of?
Maeda - …I’m sorry. I don’t have anything.
Maeda - I’m sorry to Kobashikawa, because it would be a good idea to look at the bruises… but I know it’d be leading us to the wrong conclusion, because I know I’m not the blackened.
Maeda - …
Maeda - He isn’t the only person I want to apologize to, though.
Maeda - None of us have anything to work with.
Maeda - But that just means there’s something we’re missing. Higa was murdered, somebody killed him, and there has to be something that proves who it was.
Maeda - Otherwise, Tsurugi wouldn’t know who the blackened is.
Maeda - …Tsurugi.
Tsurugi - …
//He’s looking at the floor, arms loosely crossed… it doesn’t seem like he’s paying attention.
Maeda - …
Maeda - Tsurugi.
Tsurugi - …
Tsurugi - ………
//…Nothing. His eyes move- but only to focus on a different spot of the floor. Maeda watches him for a moment. The fingers on his right hand twitch, and he seems to be… not even murmuring, but simply mouthing words to himself.
Maeda - …
//He shifts his gaze again, and wraps his left arm tighter around himself as his right starts to bounce and rock-
Maeda - He’s… keeping track of something… but I don’t know what.
Maeda - TSURUGI!
Tsurugi - …
//His eyes stay on their latest spot, but his hand stills.
Tsurugi - Yeah?
Maeda - We don’t know what happened. And we don’t know where we need to start, if we want to work out what happened.
Maeda - I’m not asking you to explain what happened. But we need you to help.
Maeda - I understand that you have your reservations. But you need to come up with something that you’re willing to share, because we’re trying, and we’re getting nowhere.
Tsurugi - …
//Finally, he leans his head up, and turns his gaze to Maeda.
Tsurugi - …
Tsurugi - …Maeda? When did you start to see me like a child?
Maeda - Huh.
Tsurugi - The way you’re talking to me is different than how you used to. Have I been too stubborn about how I think? Has it given you the wrong impression of me?
Tsurugi - I don’t know if you know what I mean.
Tsurugi - You didn’t talk to me like that when we first met. You don’t need to frame your questions weird just because of how I act.
Maeda - …
//Something sinks in Maeda. And when it lands, it brings with it a weight which settles deep within him. It’s a bit nauseating, and something about it hurts.
Maeda - …
Maeda - Then help.
Tsurugi - …
Tsurugi - …I’m not upset with you, you know. A lot of people do it, and I’d change how I’d act if that was what bothered me.
Tsurugi - You should think through the things you say, that’s what I’m trying to get at. Look at me, and see everything in full. Don’t let what’s in your head cover up what you’re seeing.
Taira - …
Maki - …
Tomori - …
//He shifts his posture, standing so he’s facing the group, instead of tilted away. He shrugs, and seems nonchalant.
Tsurugi - Aaaanyways, though… I don’t really get what you mean.
Tsurugi - Haven’t I been helping?
Tsurugi - Everyone kept saying that I was being too quiet, so I started to speak up.
Tsurugi - For a little bit now, sure, I’ve been trying to think- but that’s only been a few minutes, and I’m doing it because I need to.
Tsurugi - I talked about the evidence there was strangulation, and I stopped you all from considering that anyone could have committed Higa’s murder.
Tsurugi - …Here, I’ll help you some more- there’s a reason why I made sure you all knew that the blackeneds physical capabilities is important.
Tsurugi - I explained how strangulation works, what the blackened would have done, and the marks it would have made, and that was after I explained the difference between asphyxia and strangulation.
Tsurugi - Before that, I stepped in to give my testimony about Kobashikawa last night- another thing that’s important.
Tsurugi - I’ve been answering all plain-like about a ton of questions, too. I’ve talked about my hearing aid and my contacts, and-
Tsurugi - I was the only person to investigate in the blackened, and as soon as that was established, I testified!
Tsurugi - Speaking of testimonies, I was the first one to talk about how it was a good thing that we had new testimonies that hadn’t been heard- back when you testified, Maeda!
Tsurugi - The motive we believe right now is that Higa upset the blackened, right? Who was it that offered that theory?
Tsurugi - I gave you my every bit of reasoning, every analysis I had, and I keep establishing the frame we need to be looking at the case under!
Tsurugi - …
Tsurugi - …I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to say all of that.
//While he’s been speaking, Tsurugi’s been expressive, gesturing around as he gave his examples. Now, though, he draws his arms in, starting to pick at some of the marks on his arms. Earlier, he didn’t seem focused on anyone in particular, but he focuses in on Maeda now.
Tsurugi - I understand how important this is.
Tsurugi - That’s the problem I was having earlier. I recognize the severity of the situation!
Tsurugi - I don’t like to make these comparisons, but if anything, I’m seeing issues here that you all aren’t!
Tsurugi - I-
Tsurugi - I can’t give you anything else right now.
Tsurugi - But it isn’t because I’m trying to be obnoxious, or be- be a problem.
//His voice starts to strain.
Tsurugi - I am trying. I’m trying to help, and I’m trying t-
Tsurugi - …
Tsurugi - …I am trying to stay calm, and collected. I’m capable of being composed.
//He says, as Maeda notices tears pooling in his eyes.
Tsurugi - I keep getting thrown off. I cannot help you if I’m not able to function.
Tsurugi - I have helped, and helped, and helped. If you forgot that, it means you need to revisit what I said.
//Tsurugi seems to be composing himself.
Tsurugi - Everyone has the information they need to reach the same conclusions I have.
Tsurugi - Give me time to work through the rest of the information, for everyone’s sake. I don’t ask these things from you for my own good- I act based on the safety of the group.
Maeda - …
Taira - …What do you mean the “rest” of the information?
Maeda - …Wait.
//Immediately, any of Maeda’s thoughts on what Tsurugi said get replaced by Taira’s question. Ah well- Tsurugi’s ramble probably wasn’t too important.
Maeda - She’s right. What else is he talking about?
Tsurugi - …
Tsurugi - It… isn’t anything related to what I’ve been saying about the blackened-
Tsurugi - Sorry, sorry, I know I’ve been totally disoriented- disorienting- whatever-
Tsurugi - I really can’t be answering questions right now. So, why are we…?
Taira - …
Taira - I thought it was interesting, that’s all.
Taira - Why can’t you be answering things we ask?
Tsurugi - Why are you concerned with what I answer once I start giving information willingly, like everyone wanted?
Taira - It goes against your character.
Tsurugi - People aren’t static, I’m capable of changing with a situation.
Taira - What’s different about you now?
Tsurugi - The way that I’m engaging with the trial is.
Taira - Why?
Tsurugi - Because I can’t think when I’m distracted, and everyone being upset that I wasn’t giving information was distracting.
Taira - What do you need to be thinking about?
Tsurugi - Nothing that needs to be shared!
Taira - But why aren’t you sharing?
Tsurugi - Because I’m a person which means I have BOUNDARIES.
Taira - …
Tomori - …
Maeda - …
Taira - …Fair enough.
Maeda - …What just happened?!
Maeda - And… what was that ending…
Maeda - …
//For a moment, Maeda is able to try and digest what’s happened with Tsurugi, and how he’s feeling about it.
Maeda - God…
Maeda - Did I push Tsurugi too much?
~”When did you start to see me like a child?”~
Maeda - …
Maeda, ticked - Whatever his issue is right now…
Maeda - …
Maeda - Fuck.
Maeda, calming down - Tsurugi doesn’t usually act like this. I think people have been getting on him a bit more in general-
Maeda - …I can’t help but think of the conversation we had in the hallway, actually…
Maeda - …
Maeda - Right. I think he’s stressed.
Maeda - He’s right that he did point out stuff for us to work with… I wish he could give us something more- but if he says we can do it, we just need to revisit things…
Maki - Let’s try going over the information Tsurugi gave us again.
Maeda - Exactly.
Kobashikawa - …
Kobashikawa - If we have enough to work with, then… hearing that should be enough motivation that we can put the information to good use.
Ōtori - Yeah. Tsurugi brought up the blackened’s physical abilities, right? Who here do we think is capable of strangling Higa?
Maki - …
Maki - That… would definitely narrow it down.
Taira - …
Taira - Maki and Tsurugi certainly could have.
Taira - Hatano’s an athlete, she may have the upper body strength- I wouldn’t know. Tomori’s mentioned being capable of both base and flying, so she should be on the list as well.
Taira - Running a store requires a degree of strength, so Ōtori should probably be on the list as well.
Taira - Though, if that’s the standard we’re at, I should be on the list too.
Taira - Maeda, are you strong?
Maeda - N…not- particularly?
Taira - Hm.
Maeda - That’s… most of the class on the list.
Ōtori - …
Maki - …
Maki - Balance, coordination, strength. That, and an understanding of what you need to do…
Maki - I feel like we can take Ōtori off that list… potentially Hatano and Tomori, as well.
Ōtori, staring straight down the barrel of a gift horse - …Really?
Maki - …
Maki - If we scrap that last bit, then probably not…
Ōtori - No, no- sorry, I’m sorry-
Ōtori - I think that’s a good move. That brings us down to three people, right?
Maeda - Maki, Tsurugi, and Taira.
Maeda - …Ugh. I don’t like the thought of any one being the blackened, but that group…
Maeda - Tsurugi said that his testimony mattered too, right?
Taira - Uehara, Kobashikawa, neither of you have much to say for your strength, do you?
Kobashikawa - Ah… I don’t think I could try and strangle Higa and win with ease, no.
Maeda - Tsurugi’s testimony…
//Maeda is not paying attention. He doesn’t notice Taira’s question, or that Uehara is too busy looking at him to answer.
Maeda - …Tsurugi.
//Tsurugi’s reverted back to the position he was in before their conversation earlier- arms crossed, looking away.
Maeda - …
Maeda - Your autopsy helped us a lot with the last case. Is there anything we missed about Higa’s body?
Tsurugi - …
Hatano - …Higa didn’t get chopped up. I think this is out of Tsurugi’s field.
Uehara - Ah…
Maeda - But this is Tsurugi’s field… no, I should say that-
Maeda - This is exactly what Tsurugi’s field is. He knows better than anyone else what happened, he’s the only one who can explain things.
Maeda - There were the marks on Higa’s neck, and the way he’s positioned. Those imply he was strangled, right? Is there anything we might have missed?
Tsurugi - …
//Tsurugi turns towards Maeda, casually.
Tsurugi - Nah! It’s all good~
Maeda - Are you sure?
Tsurugi - Mhm!
Maeda - …We aren’t getting very far. And, I’m not understanding how you identified a blackened either.
Maeda - Yes, there’s the blackeneds capabilities, but that doesn’t narrow it down too much.
Maeda - So, what is it that we’re missing? There’s information you have that we can’t factor in, because we haven’t noticed it.
Maeda - What do you know that we don’t?
Tsurugi - Ah…
Tsurugi - Sorry, Maeda, I’m not supposed to say.
Tsurugi - I got a tongue piercing lately, and it uses iron, cuz of safety- it doesn’t really want me to say anything, so my tongue won’t work right.
Maeda - …You mentioned that you testified for Kobashikawa, and how that was relevant- but it made me wonder about when you testified about the autopsy.
Maeda - I said I’d watch you during it, so I could testify that you only did what was medically necessary.
Maeda - Did… did anyone watch Tsurugi when he investigated Higa?
Tsurugi - Higa’s form stopped being corporeal.
Maeda - Who was in the room when Tsurugi was investigating…
Tomori - …I don’t think there’s anything Tsurugi will say right now.
Tomori - Let’s um- let’s talk about something else. Some… other… part of the case…?
Maeda - …I think it was when Kobashikawa and I left. It was Tomori and Uehara- they were the other two in the room.
//Uehara is looking at Tsurugi. Tomori was looking at Maeda- but when he looked at her, she looked away.
Maeda - …Hm.
Maeda - No, we’re not going to talk about something else. I want Tsurugi to tell us about the autopsy.
Tsurugi - …?
Tsurugi - You were there, weren’t you?
Maeda - For Iranami’s autopsy, not Higa’s.
Tsurugi - …
//He’s looking at Maeda.
Tsurugi - …
Tsurugi - Iranami was a special circumstance. You know that. She wasn’t murdered, so her case went differently.
Tsurugi - Higa… Higa’s death was homicide, so it’s different. We can’t treat it the same.
Tsurugi - Mm… poor Higa. He deserved a better circumstance… not in the game, necessarily, but in life… maybe if things had been different!
Tsurugi - I wonder what sort of kid he was…
Tsurugi - Oh, did you know that eating dirt while pregnant can help make sure you get nutrients you need?
Maeda - …
Tsurugi - Uh. I thought of that, because, like… when I was a kid, I ate dirt a lot.
Tsurugi - Mm. I usually had hare around the same times, I think.
Maeda - This isn’t relevant.
Tsurugi - Well, it’s interesting. Uhm… rabbit and rooster are zodiac opposites.
Tomori - You’re year of the rooster, then?
Tsurugi - Mhm!
Maeda - …Stop keeping things from us Tsurugi.
Maeda - Sometimes, the things that are important to do are scary, or hard. You still need to go and do them.
Maeda - Didn’t we offer up the idea of reverse engineering who the blackened is? Why don’t you tell us who it is, and we’ll work out from there?
Maeda - Is the issue that you want us to work it out ourselves?
//Maeda watches Tsurugi- watches how his eyes dart around the room, flicking away from Maeda, then back, then away, then back again.
Tsurugi - It’s…
Tsurugi - …It doesn’t matter. What’s most important is that everyone keeps trying to solve the case.
Tsurugi - Really, if I had the choice, I’d just fold up all my atoms all together, and make em so small no one could even think about them, let alone see them and start to wonder what I’m thinking!
Maeda - Well, you can’t do that, and we aren’t able to solve the case.
Maeda - …Yeah, no. We can’t solve the case. Not with what we know- what you’ve told us.
Maeda - It just… isn’t going to happen, Tsurugi.
Tsurugi - …
//His eyes start moving. His gaze fixates, but doesn’t lock the way it did earlier. While he’s looking at Maeda, there’s something entirely different in his eyes. Tsurugi isn’t trying to articulate any points… he’s pleading with Maeda.
Tsurugi - …Maeda, pleaaaase.
Tsurugi - Please keep trying. You- you can’t give up on solving what happened.
Tsurugi - There’s an answer there. There’s going to be an answer- if everyone works together, someone will say something that sets everyone down the right path.
Tsurugi - You…
//His voice wavers.
Tsurugi - You can’t… Maeda, I need you all to keep trying.
Maeda - …
Maeda - This isn’t… how I want things to go.
Maeda - Whenever I start to confront Tsurugi… he just gets hurt- he doesn’t get angry with me, he gets… sad. I can’t deal with that!
//Tsurugi notes Maeda’s silence- his hesitance to respond.
Tsurugi - …Please? Okay? Please?
Tsurugi - You said I should be open… I’m making a request, because you said I should. So… it’s okay? We’re okay?
Maeda - W-We’re fine…
Kobashikawa - …
Kobashikawa - I think it’s okay, if that’s what you need.
Kobashikawa - You had a hard time when the investigation started, right? It’s okay to have specific needs, especially when you aren’t doing well.
Uehara - Mm…
Uehara - Tsurugi isn’t doing anything wrong… it’s all fine. Just… piss off.
Maki - For fucks sake, Uehara…
Maki - But yeah, it’s- it’s fine. Let’s try and stick with this.
Maeda - …No.
Maeda - No.
Maeda - No, no- I don’t want to move on from this.
Maeda - Tsurugi, you still aren’t explaining things. You keep telling us that we can, that we should, but you won’t help us anymore. I get that you think you’ve helped enough, but you haven’t.
Maeda - We can’t get this without you, and I don’t get why you don’t want to help us.
Tsurugi - I-
Tsurugi - It’s not that I don’t want to! Don’t say that!
Tsurugi - I wanna help… I know, I know, I wanna help…
//He twists side to side, only slightly- fidgeting with his hands, still drawn up by his torso, as his shoulders swing with his movements. Again, he starts to look around- but he’s back to looking at the room, instead of the class.
Tsurugi - …I can help. I can help, I can do it.
Tsurugi - Just- I just need a minute. I need- you need to wait a minute, please, please, please…
Maeda - …Oh. Uh oh.
//…Maeda pushes forward.
Maeda - Why do you need us to wait?
Tsurugi - …
Maeda - …
Tsurugi - …
//Tsurugi has started to shake, in a jittery sort of way.
Tsurugi - …Can’t. Can’t help right now. I just need you all to wait. Please work on it yourselves- I’ll- I’ll be able to help soon. Not now. I’ll get there soon.
Tsurugi, mumbling - Gotta get there soon… Gonna get it, have to get it…
Maeda - …
//He steels himself.
Maeda - Why?
Tsurugi - …
//The shaking has gotten worse. It’s almost comical, how quickly he devolved. If Maeda didn’t have context, he’d think it were from the cold, and expect Tsurugi’s teeth to start chattering. As it is, though, Tsurugi’s still… staring off at nothing. Maeda watches as he starts to pull at his fingers, cracking and twisting his knuckles.
Maeda - …
Tsurugi - …
Tomori - …Maeda, let’s move on.
Maeda - No.
Maeda - Tsurugi, explain to us how Higa died. Go over the chain of events.
Tsurugi - …
Maeda - …No one’s going to get you out of this. The only way it’ll stop is if you push through it.
Maeda - You can’t keep hiding behind saying you don’t want to. Things will happen anyways.
Maeda - …It hurts to even say this.
Maeda - I don’t like people who try to avoid the inevitable. It makes my chest hurt to think about avoiding things because you know it’ll go poorly.
Maeda - It’ll still happen. Just go through it.
Tsurugi - …
Maeda - …
//Finally, Maeda gets out of his own head, and focuses back on Tsurugi. Tsurugi seems to sense it when Maeda stares at him…
Tsurugi - …
Maeda - …
Tsurugi - …
//…and reacts to the pressure by crying.
Tsurugi - Uuuuu…
Maeda - Ah- ah- fuck, uh-
Tsurugi, sobbing - Snf-nf-
//It’s rough. It starts slow, but quickly escalates to bawling. He rocks on his heels slightly, and hides his face behind his hands- unfortunately, that proportion isn’t perfect on anyone, so Maeda can still see his eyes wrench shut, and his face flush pink.
Maeda - …
Tomori - …
Kobashikawa - …
Everyone - …
Maeda - …I feel like I’m being psychically chastised by half the people in this room.
Maeda - …See? None of this… helped you.
Maeda - If I’m dying, I don’t want it to be in a shallow grave, so I’ll keep digging.
Maeda - Things don’t go well if you avoid everything. It isn’t an escape from what you want to avoid, it’s you preventing it from getting dealt with.
Tsurugi - Aaaa…
//Still crying. Still shaking, too.
Maeda - …If you aren’t doing well, then sure, compose yourself.
Maeda - But when you’re ready to talk again, that’s what we’ll do.
Tsurugi, bawling - Nooo…
Maeda - Yes.
Maeda - I’d rather be harsh on one person than have everyone suffer for it.
Tsurugi - Take that back!
Tsurugi - It’s fine, it’s fine, it’s fine. It’s fiiiiine, it’s fine-
Maeda - It is not fine.
Tsurugi - Aaaaughhhh…
Maeda - It isn’t fine, Tsurugi. None of this situation is fine, so get it together, and come handle it.
Tsurugi - Stop! Stop it, Maeda, STOP!
Maeda - !...
Tsurugi, crying - Aaaah….
Maeda - …
//Tsurugi catches on his breath, trying desperately to get air in while tears roll down his face. Maeda… feels an odd mix of… frustrated and hurt, as he watches Tsurugi, though he doesn’t quite recognize either, opting to ignore them instead.
Maeda - …
Maeda - I don’t get why you’re having such a hard time with this.
Maeda - Just tell us anything. Anything that’ll help us work out what happened.
Tsurugi - I- I caaaAN’T…
//As he cries, his voice rises in pitch, tightening in the end as his throat constricts. Next to him, Tomori pulls a face.
Uehara - …
Uehara - Monokuma, permission to leave my podium?
//Before Monokuma can answer, Uehara has turned to step off.
Monokuma - Permission Denied.
Maeda - Uehara-
Tomori - UEHARA!
//He freezes, one foot off his stand.
Uehara, processing - …Oh- what the fuck.
Tomori - Monokuma, permission to leave my podium?
Monokuma - Permission Granted.
//Tomori quickly steps off her podium, and goes towards Tsurugi- only to be batted away once she’s in arms reach.
Tsurugi - No… no, I don’t- Don’t want it, don’t-
//Another wall raises and washes over the room, as Tomori takes a step back… then frowns, and slowly returns to her podium.
Maeda - …
Maeda - …Do you think you can start to talk now, Tsurugi?
//He continues to cry, but tries to look at Maeda.
Maeda - …
Maeda - It’s one word. Just tell us who the blackened is-
Tsurugi, interrupting - NO!
Maeda - It is one word. Tsurugi, this is insane.
Tsurugi - Aughhh-
Maeda - None of this is okay! This is way out of hand!
Tsurugi, overlapping - You don’t get iiit!
//This time it’s whining. He sounds genuinely distraught that Maeda isn’t… understanding.
Maeda - I mean, look at yourself! Look at everyone! We were all saying we were tired, this trial has been going on for so long already!
//Tsurugi tries to gesture vaguely, but gives up, hands dropping limply to his sides.
Maeda - It’s crazy. We do this every, single, time, and now, even when no one’s doing well with it,
//Uehara softly snaps his fingers, which Maeda fails to notice. Tsurugi leans away first, before Uehara turns his hand over, open palm stretching towards Tsurugi.
Maeda - We’re still stuck on the same exact thing, and you won’t even explain why!
//Tsurugi looks at Uehara… and limply takes his hand, letting Uehara gently pull him closer. His cries get slightly louder as Uehara hugs him, before getting muffled when he tucks his face away.
Maeda - It’s just so much… and he won’t explain.
//Maeda finally actually looks back over. Tsurugi’s sobs are slowly softening as he starts to breathe loudly- different from earlier, when the breath was used on wails before it truly reached his lungs, he’s now trying to make up for lost air, and regulate his breathing. He turns his head a bit, only for Uehara to bring up one hand, and comb it through Tsurugi’s hair, encouraging him to turn away again.
Maeda - …
Maeda - Genuinely, whatever will get him to engage with us again.
//With one last shaking breath, Tsurugi finally pulls away from Uehara. His hand lingers on Tsurugi’s back until Tsurugi’s out of easy reach.
Tsurugi - …
//He looks at Maeda… and again, this makes him cry.
Maeda - Okay.
Maeda - Like, eventually, he’s gotta get dehydrated eventually. There’s only so much one person can cry.
//It isn’t this bad this time, either. Tsurugi is using his hands to try and tidy himself still, but he’s actually able to stand and look about the room now.
Maeda - …Honestly, it’s mostly just surprising that he… lost it so bad, so fast.
Tsurugi, crying - Mmm.. snf……
Maeda - …
Maeda - I don’t even know what to say at this point.
Maeda - …Will you tell us who the blackened is?
//Tsurugis expression changes, into something near a scowl, before it wavers back to tears.
Maeda - Okay.
Maeda - Will you give us the autopsy, then?
Tsurugi - Ma-eda- I can’t.
Tsurugi - Sorry, I’m sorry, I can’t-
//He starts to shake, but it feels different from earlier somehow. Earlier was shaking, this is trembling.
Tsurugi - …I don’t want to do this right now. I want to be left alone please.
Maeda - And do what?
Maeda - Again, if you need to take a deep breath, do it, but we’re not… moving on from this.
Tsurugi - You don’t get it, you don’t get it, you aren’t getting it- Maeda, you’re just not understanding.
//He’s speaking softly- weak enough Maeda can ignore it, if he wants. That’s the choice Maeda makes.
Maeda - There’s no reason to just… continue avoiding this, keep ignoring-
Tsurugi - You aren’t listening to me, Maeda-
Maeda - Tsurugi, whatever it is you know, just say it-
Tsurugi - I CAN’T!
//It’s loud enough that Maeda has to stop.
Maeda - …
Tsurugi - …
//The sobbing is back.
Maeda - …
Maeda - Calling this stubborn doesn’t seem right, but it feels right.
Maeda - There’s no reason why you can’t. The only thing preventing you is how you feel-
Tsurugi, bawling - Stop it, stop it, stop it-
Maeda, louder - So you need to calm down,
Tsurugi - You don’t get it, you don’t- you won’t listen-
Maeda - And get it together,
Tsurugi - That’s not iiit! You’re so wrong, you don’t understand, you don’t-
Maeda - Tsurugi, this is so out of hand!
Tsurugi - You don’t get it, you won’t just listen, please, please, please-
Maeda - No! You aren’t giving us anything to work with here! Nothing about the blackened,
Tsurugi - Please, please, just- just work with me! Just listen, please, I have- I have it, I can do it, I- I- I can get it, I can get it, it’ll be fine-
Maeda - Work with what! I don’t know what’s going on, no one understands,
Tsurugi - It’s fine! You can- it’s fine! Pleaaase, Yukii!
Maeda - !
Maeda - Y-You can’t just keep yelling! You need- god…
Maeda - We need you to get it together, and tell us what hap-
Tsurugi - I DON’T KNOW! I DON’T KNOW, I DON’T KNOW, I! DON’T! KNOW!
//Tsurugi is screeching. Something about the way the words tumble out of him makes Maeda pause.
Tsurugi - I DON’T KNOW WHO KILLED HIGA! I DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT, I DON’T KNOW WHO THE BLACKENED IS, AND I DON’T KNOW HOW TO SOLVE THIS CASE!
Tsurugi - …
//…
Everyone - …
Maeda - …
//Tsurugi has gotten what he asked for. Finally, Maeda’s stopped asking. Everyone’s stopped.
Tsurugi - …
//Everything has stopped.
Maeda - …
//There’s… no more progress on the case.
Maeda - …There was never any progress, at all.
Tsurugi - …
//It’s weak, and wavering. He’s still crying, and still struggling for air, but those breaths have been the loudest thing in the room for a good moment now.
Tsurugi - I am so sorry.
Tsurugi - I sat there. I sat there, and I stared at Higa. And I asked myself how I didn’t know, when I was so, so, so close. How I let it happen, and how I didn’t know the answer.
Tsurugi - I-
//His throat seems to constrict, lips pursing shut as he gives a pained hum, attempting to stop the tears from escalating.
Tsurugi - I should know what happened, and I don’t. I’m so sorry.
Tsurugi - I… I don’t know how to solve this. I don’t have a clue where we go from here.
Tsurugi - I am so sorry.
//Tsurugi starts to sob again. And Maeda doesn’t feel anything about this. There’s the slow-dawn of realization, as he starts to piece together what Tsurugi meant when he was talking earlier…
Tsurugi, light-headed - I’ll get it. I’ll get it. I’ll solve it, I can’t, but I’ll get there, I’ll work it out, please, please, I’m so sorry, I can get it.
//…And Maeda feels nothing at all.
~*~
Maeda, narrating - …
Maeda - ……….
Maeda - …Okay.
Maeda - Tsurugi doesn’t know what happened.
Maeda - So, no one knows what happened.
Maeda - Tsurugi… doesn’t even know where to start.
Maeda - He agrees. There’s no evidence. Nothing we can use.
Maeda - The blackened… pulled off the perfect murder. No one can identify them.
Maeda - No one has any ideas, or any reason to believe we’re just missing something.
Maeda - There’s no hope.
Maeda - …
Maeda - ………
Maeda - ……………

i’m reading your lovely jenate fanfic rn and one of the details i’ve really been enjoying is the way you characterize the sibling relationship between jenny and dan! and it has me wondering, more generally, how do you picture dan and jenny’s relationship playing out as adults? we don’t really get to see jenny post going to london on the actual show, and i’m curious how things might have changed or evolved between them with them both being on more equal relational footing, so to speak. (i also think i remember you mentioning here that you yourself have siblings, so as an only child i can imagine you probably have a much more nuanced picture of this than i do lol)
ohhhh thank you so much!!! this is something that I actually explore in the next chapter (posting forthcoming), but I'll talk about it now just to get ahead of that lol
I am thinking, in show canon -- and in the canon i construct in this au in which the show ends after Despicable B ;) -- that Jenny sort of...gives herself a clean break from all things New York, including Dan. and Dan, with all his abandonment issues, takes that harder than she probably sees at the time, but completely removing herself is what she needs the most in that moment. and then, a couple years later, they gravitate closer, but virtually.
with their work being so time-consuming and not really on the typical layman's schedule (like, writer and fashion designer lol what free time) they don't really have time to full on talk on the phone or facetime, but they text regularly, often over an inside joke or a link or a meme they need the other to see (because their partner wouldn't find it as funny)
I think Jenny as a grown up would find it easier to talk to Dan first about things over their parents, and vice versa, because their is this sibling kind of thing were no other person quite understands you the same way, and has known you this long and loved you this long. but the love is different from the love you feel with your parents. i'm not sure if this is entirely accurate...but the love feels...more unconditional somehow, because a sibling has more choice in loving you, but less failures of doing so.
and yes! I do have an older brother, our age difference (3 years) is slightly larger than Dan & Jenny's, but my relationship and experience with him informs - consciously and unconsciously - a LOT of how I write Jenny & Dan. Disclaimer: our pasts are not nearly as traumatic as these fake people, and our parents are still together (over 30 years WOOT WOOT), so our life experiences don't exactly line up
but that being said, I look up to my brother so much. and I switched school mid highschool (like jenny but for less fraught reasons) so I went from being "Andrew's Little Sister" everywhere I went to being just Liz, just myself. and that's an adjustment, from always being the little sister to growing into your own person, and I wouldn't have gotten that opportunity without moving schools, and Jenny probably wouldn't have without moving to London.
and my brother and I have followed our own paths and live in different timezones (and regularly different countries, he splits his time between the US and Canada it's a whole thing), but I never don't feel like he isn't there for me. I know with him I always have a place to crash and someone to send me cute pet pictures when I'm sad and someone who is just as worried about my dad's health as I am (again, whole other thing, not gonna get into it bc privacy but yeah). and I am never entirely lonely as long as he is existing someplace in this world. shit I'm gettting emotional just talking about it but,
he's the guy that drove me to my piano lessons and teased me for my music taste and took me to my first punk show and said "that was so good!" after every performance even though he knows nothing about opera. and when I had a 3 month contract in florida and couldn't take my cat with me he fostered Steph and now Andrew is Steve's favorite person and when I was unemployed I crashed in his apt while he was organized for the 2020 Iowa caucus and he crashed on my couch to visit me after I got my job and moved and we smoke weed and recite monty python and joke and laugh together and I can be a version of myself with my big brother in a way that I can't be with anyone else.
so to bring it back to your meta question, lmao, I imagine and attempt to write Jenny's relationship with her big brother in the same way. it's never the same as when they lived in the same house, and that's hard. (because they stopped living in the same house when he was 18 and she 16 and you can never really go back to that), and they each have their own lives and careers and loves that keep them where they are, but they are still always just...their for each other. and, if given the choice, they are the first person to hear the other's good news.
#FUCK i miss my brother!!!!!!#texting him now brb#gg meta#dan humphrey#jenny humphrey#no joke I forgot that chpater 10 wasn't up yet so i thought you were asking about that one#ah the multichap wip#i never know where i am#how many chapters will it be anyway? i can't wait to find out#asks#anon#ty for sending <3

choose . post options (and random ass q&a) utc !!
-> temporarily pinning this . old pinned !!
"ohhh melon why did you close asks ohhhh melon why arent u taking req" - you, maybe
i closed asks bc i got burnt out answering them !! sorry sorry i suck at interaction even online , they piled up so much i lost a lot of motivation in answering them but hopefully ill get through most of em .. at some point
if you really really need to talk to me like for some reason you genuinely will explode if u don't i do have a sideblog so. just scamper over to there idk
as for reqs... oh man they havent been open for a good half year.. the day will come if i either run out of ideas (which is. uhm probably not possible) , reach record heights of delusional , or simply feel like it . though keep in mind i do selective reqs!! ill only write the ones im interested in qq
"what about the events and series you never finished melon what of them are you abandoning your children" - you, perhaps
hahahahh uhm. im really bad w commitment. so yes, most likely. that one forgotten coffee shop au with kavetham that never even got its first chapter is never coming back.
names once whispered on the breeze (smau) hasn't been posted since like last year june .. i lost interest in the formatting since i gen like writing long posts more and also i did have a plan for the plot but it was shit and i lost interest. sorry for all the people who supported and loved the series but i couldn't reciprocate that same love. i am not paying child support either
500+ and halloween events... in the former didnt expect to get so many requests, and writing 3-ish took every ounce of soul in me. as for halloween, it was fun to write but since im a stupid little 瓜 i couldn't figure out how to end the series. 4 chpaters and a cliffhanger is all yall are getting :P
"melon how could you do this you big fat meanie i am going to boohoo and shit all over u" - you, to the slightest possibility
ok now why would you do that
thanks please vote mwah ilyall

So, uh...
How far are we from the next angst chapter? And how many chpaters/seasons do you plan on making (give or take)?
Asking for a friend.. 👀
Next angst chapter is... not far. :)
I can't answer the second question. Let me illustrate the problem.
Don't bother counting the blocks/color chunks, I didn't, this is just to illustrate the concept.
The chapters I've written, I've written. I know how many of those there are.
The chapters I've plotted, I have detailed outlines for. I know exactly what will happen in them and what order they happen in, and I might be able to guesstimate how many chapters they'll be.
The plots I've heavily developed are "episodes" where I have a really good idea what happens in them and a preeetty good idea what order they happen in, but I do NOT have a detailed outline, which means A LOT could change.
The FOG OF WAR (undeveloped plots) contains all the "episode" ideas I've had that I know I want to write, but I have NOT developed them in detail, I DON'T know what order they're in, AND MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF THEM might change. I have a few developed plots or plotted chapters that are floating in the fog of war because I don't know when they'll happen yet. I do not even know how many episodes are currently hidden in the fog of war. It's possible I haven't even thought up all of the episodes I'll put in this fic—I have several character development goals that I don't currently have an associated plotline for them to happen in. It's also possible I'll cut or combine some of the episodes I've already thought of.
I do not know how big the fog of war is. It's possible that it's about the size I've drawn it above. It's also possible that it's...
... like this.
What I do know is we're gonna be here a while.
As for "seasons," I'm only able to divide up a season 1 from a season 2 because there's part of the story with an EXTREMELY STRONG "season finale"-tier plotline, before and after which the story and its possibilities change drastically. The "season" division isn't a measure of length, but of plot stakes. There's a possibility there won't be a similar shift from a season 2 to a season 3+. The seasons could have any length relative to each other.

Chpater 3
Bad girl
Tw : Chapter contains extreme violence, strong language, uncomfortable, disturbing topics, gore , blood and death . None of these characters are real as for the names .please don't take this seriously .
(Enemies to lovers)
(Yandere bada)
(You've been warned .... )
"You know its getting late . We both know how dangerous it is at night especially around these streets" She gets a bit closer to you "How about I take you home with me ?" Bada seductively whispers in your ear .
As much as you wanted to punch this woman and beat her to death , you wouldn't allow yourself to do so . You don't want to deal with causing scene .
You giggle . "No thank you " you politely decline which seemed to annoy yet anger her . From the corner of your eye you see your target
David Kelvin
He was with two other woman . His arms were wrapped around both 0f their waists . You already knew what he was going to do , he walks towards the entrance of the club taking his leave . Bada followed your gaze . Once she spots the man you were looking at , she glares directly at him .
"Who the hell is that bastard ? Y/n should only be laying attention on me!"
She angrily thought to herself . You stand from the booth and face Bada
"It was nice meeting you . See you later love" you calmly say with a smile . You walk away from the booth and follow behind you target . Bada tries to stop you ,but you had already left .
Bada immediately calls her men , ordering them to go after you . His men searched around the building looking for you .
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You followed behind your target and his girls , keeping your distance . You stopped and watched as they walk towards a motel . A very old motel . You smirk "Your just making this easy for me" you wait until they enter a room and lock the door .
As you walk towards the door , you were to busy thinking how you were going to kill him . However , you didn't see a car pulling up to the motel parking lot .
"Shes right there boss" the driver reports to the woman in the back of the car who is directly staring at y/n ."I don't understand why we had to follow her boss ,she's just some whore looking for money and di-" the man in the passenger seat was cut off as hand was on his neck ,cutting of his air ways . The look on Bada's face was cold and dark ,She tightens the grip on the man's neck .
"Don't you dare say disgusting things about her ,Do you understand?"
The main rapidly nods . She lets go and and focuses her gaze on y/n . She completely ignored the man coughing harshly .
Your face turns into pure disgust as he she cam hear "sounds" in the room . "I'm not payed enough to be dealing with this type of shit...." you quietly say .
You pull out your gun that was hidden in your dress . You kick on the doorknob , instantly breaking the door wide open . You received their attention.
"David Kelvin" . You say with a calm tone . David sits up from the bed , startless. The girls scream in horror as they see you holding a gun . He glares at ypu but his expression soon drops once he sees your clan crest . He's now frightened .
"You... you work for that bitch!" He yelled . "Indeed , you should have thought of the consequences before competing your actions. Especially taking the belongings of my boss" you point your gun at him
" This is the end of the line for you "
BANG!
You pulled the trigger and shoot him directly in the head . The girls scream in horror as they see now dead man who was alive a few second ago . Blood decorated the headboard of the room ,blood trading down his bullet wound . The girls push last you running out of the room . You follow behind them .
They scream for help , running and knocking on every room , but here in the Streets of Scarlet nobody really cares since people don't want to be involved in other situations.
BANG!
BANG!
Both of the girls fall limp on the floor . You sigh and walk back in to the room .
Well now I have to get rid of these three. Wonderful.' You sarcastically thought to yourself. Looking around you spot the girl's purses. The curiosity took the best of you, you checked both of their bags. Looking through their bag you find out information about them. The first you killed was a worker of the night. The other was a worker who forced men and women into prostitution.
You couldn't help but smile as you got rid of another monster off the streets. You look through the room and spotted many weapons on the table and seats. A machete. You grabbed it and walk towards the man.
"That old hag will be pleased once she receives your head."
Bada smirks as she sees you repeatedly bring the machete up and down on the corpses neck. She had to admit, seeing you covered in blood, holding that weapon, it turned her on. "Ive seen that clan crest before...She works for that old woman. She's a dangerous one boss. Are you sure about this?" The driver questions Bada . Bada's smirk turns even darker. She knew she had to have you.
"Ive made my choice and I'm sure about it. Besides... I don't tind a little danger."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After beheading the man, you put the head in the bag. You heard a ding go off.
Nana
Did you finish the job?'
Y/n
"The job's done. Send someone to pick me up'
Nana
'Wonderful! I knew I could count on you! Send me the location and I'll send someone immediately.
You send the location and continue with the job.
A car suddenly pulls up to the motel. You hear the engine turn off. Walking out the room, you groan in annoyance as you see a woman coming out of the driver's seat. Let's just say this is the last person you wanted to see. "Hey doll face, it's been a while." The woman sends you a wink. "Should've kept it that way. " You say. "Aren't you harsh~" She seductively says. "Shut it Kristen . Help me get rid of these two." You point at the two dead girls.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Who the hell is this woman?!' Bada tells herself. Anger filling her veins. Getting the job done, you go back to the room to retrieve the bag. You were about to open the passenger door when a hand prevents you to do so.
You turn around to see your pinned by none other than Kristen . One hand besides your head and the other on your thigh. "We have some time to orselves. What do you say Y/N?" This wasn't the first she's done this to you. You glare at her.
"Kristen , I swear if you don't get in the damn car ill choke you to death. Here and now." "Kinky~" She replies. You pinch her thigh Hard. "Ouch! I was only kidding." She playfully whines. You roll your eyes and push her off you. "Let's go before you end up like him." You say as you point at the bag, referring to the beheaded man.
Kristen chuckles. "As long as you're the one doing it, I don't mind." She winks at you once again. "You're sick." "Says the woman who shot three people and beheaded one of them " She snapped back. "Touché." You respond giggling a bit. She chuckles. You both get in the car and drive off.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Follow them."
"But boss-" the driver is soon interupted. "NOW!" Bada angrily commands. The driver nods and follows you behind. One thing that most members of a clan or mafia gang must know..
Never anger the boss.
Bada promised herself she was going to kill kristen for talking to you, flirting with you, touching you. Oh how she wished she would have killed Kristen right there on the spot. Yet she had to wait. The patience was killing her . She knew you were going to be hers
Soon....
"Nobody touches what belongs to me...'
Nobody touches my woman...'
'Nobody touches my Y/N!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First of i wanna say bada is a yandere in this story
Second off this bada ff is an enemies to lovers
Lastly Kristen and y/ns relationship is a love-hate one ... for now
Thats it I think for chapter, I seriously faced a lot of trouble writting it 😅 there will probably be mistake here and there so I apologise for that this chpater was slightly much longer than the first and second chapter so I hope this pays off . Thank you

During making a gifset for today's chapter, I found this sentence.
Cosette had been taught housekeeping in the convent, and she regulated their expenditure, which was very modest.
Vol. 4, Book 3, Chpater 2.
The nuns taught her housekeeping which literally meaning chores and other houseworks. But thinking about her childhood, I think this class would be one of the most hard classes for her, bring back the bad memories of that horrible inn. What would you think about this?
#Les miserables#les mis#My Post#Cosette#The Lark#Convent Student#The Convent#Rue Plumet#Tw:PTSD#I bet this would be one of the most traumatic school events for her beside with physical and mental punishment.#It's just doing houseworks for normal students.#But think about Cosette.#She did these kinds of works in that hellish inn for 6 years!#Would this probabbly brought those harsh memory.#What do you think?#The Brick#Meta#Les Mis Letters

Could you make a chapter 7 or a bonus part of the herobrine series (like a small writing, almost like a special episode of what happens – more of showing a small spoiler ig)? It was truly an interesting story and the way you write in different POV's is so good ❤️❤️ But if you have other priorities or rather not continue it then its fine !! You may skip this request of mine.

EVERYONE SAY THANK YOU TO THE ANON WHO JUST BROUGHT ME OUT OF MY HIATUS
(I am so sorry its been months i know but shit hit the fan so..)
pt 1 / pt 2 / pt. 3 / pt. 4 / pt. 5 / pt. 6 / pt. 7 / pt. 8
CHPATER 8 1/2? UNDER THE CUT!
In a perfect world, everything would be peaceful.
Hell was a strange place to sleep, though every place here was a strange place, considering the geography in this place was fucked, if I phrased it nicely.
At least the room was nice. The Nether was hot, but in this room, the fungi seemed to placate the heat. The small sources of light came from the thin windows, casting frantic shadows onto the floor.
At least the room was nice.
The bed was tucked into the corner, hidden among the wildlife inside the room. Though, could you call it wild if it were inside a room?
I digress.
The bed was soft and comfortable, and I wondered how Herobrine had gotten such nice linens in the Nether. Maybe he just called in a favor from someone?
And as I thought about Herobrine, my thoughts turned to Steve. His violet-purple eyes were entrancing, and I just...couldn't stop thinking about them. About Steve. About Herobrine. About this whole situation.
I wondered how Steve and Alex were doing. Did they think of me?
~~~
This Player was certainly interesting. They acted so much stranger than the normal Players he had been used to. As in, they didn't run screaming or take out weapons as he passed by, hoping to steal a loaf of fresh bread.
Herobrine missed those days, though he didn't miss being controlled. A loaf of bread, cake with icing, the sound of something that wasn't the sound of the Nether.
He felt almost mournful about the "good old days" though they weren't particularly good.
It was a shame, Herobrine thought, that Notch created him with a sense of remorse. But what he'd done had been done, and he couldn't take it back.
If only he could show Steve his book. The truth, and nothing but the truth.
He huffed under his breath, "Not like that would ever happen."
Herobrine shifted from the bed, stretching and getting up.
"After all, who'd trust a man in hell?"
In a perfect world, everything would be peaceful.
We will never find a perfect world.
~~~
HELLO EVERYONE IM STILL ALIVE I PROMISE

I don't know why it's always bugging me when someone acts like 3H's writing is superior to Engage when I find 3H's writing to be more confusing, far less cohesive and focused. It took 12 chpater for the plot to finally move whereas in Engage plot starts after chapter 3. I know it's all taste in the end, just though I'd say it
I agree! I list the very same reasons in this post, specifically Story Section 2 and 4:
There's a deluge of small details within a grandiose world that every character has a connection too, but IMO not only does the size of the dialogue and world itself cause loss of focus or a clear point (besides the very shallow 'reach your hand out to guide people onto the right path cuz you're God'), it's not anything that FE hasn't done in every other game before. The only things that 3H does differently is have more of it and make sure it's exhaustingly spelt out to the player. It's less "you find out about the characters and how they interact within a game's world through extensive player effort like supports/special conversations and using them on the battlefied" and more "everything is available to you by way of cutscene and talking to them in Garreg Mach, now here's how these characters' info collide." And that to me ebbs between uninteresting/boring and tedious/utterly routine for a video game experience.
Engage though, follows the typical FE trend of handing you some basic traits and rewarding you with more info of the cast and world for your effort. And you unlock more of their roster notes as you level supports! That's fucking cool, cuz it shows progression and development and effort spent on characters you clearly like using! It feels like a video game!
