R5: ghost hangout

[What's this? The fog of the miasma has pulled back, revealing a path down to the basement. None of the living seem to notice it though, only those who are dead are aware of it.

Down in the basement is a large furnished room. It doesn't seem as dusty as the rest of the house, and it actually seems lived in? Or...un-lived in, technically. But the lighting here works and there's plenty to do. Even if the ghosts might not need it, there's several beanbag chairs (brought in by one of the many groups of teenagers who have disappeared into the house), a large couch, and even a jacuzzi. Because even if you're in eternal pain, you can relax a bit, right?

If the ghosts look up, they'll see that the ceiling appears to be made of spider-patterned stained glass. Which is weird, considering that it should be floorboards and such. But the stained glass allows them to look up into all parts of the house and easily spy on the living. What they hear can be hit or miss, especially if the living are whispering, but seeing what they're up to should be easy enough.

Well. Might as well make the most of this space, right?

Asking this group to focus is like trying to keep butter away from that raccoon.

[ Impossible, just impossible. Why did the raccoon like butter that much anyway!! ]

Anyway, I wonder who our other culprit is. What do you say we start taking bets?
tangentlion: (are you a real number right now)

[personal profile] tangentlion 2020-05-16 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
That raccoon is weird!

...tch. Ain't like we have anything to bet with.

How about, whoever wins gets to punch Hikage?

[ Not that he wants to punch Hikage but judging from Sho's everything right now, sure seems like a good prize. ]
tangentlion: (CRUNCH! I'll add it to the heap.)

[personal profile] tangentlion 2020-05-16 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
You say that like I'm not gonna do it anyway. I didn't care about that Battler kid, but having him with us is gonna be.... complicated. But maybe.... first dibs on the punching?

First dibs it is. And let's throw in dibs on the second culprit while we're at it.

[ Where's Rin to get in on this action!! Oh well. ]

In that case, wanna go first?

I honestly don't have a clue. Saphir can make bombs, but he's a chickenshit.

I suspect Rosa Ushiromiya. She has violent tendencies, and it would not be the first time she has fallen victim to irony.

Nice! I'll add it to the betting sheet.

[ and he does indeed have a betting sheet!! at the top of it says HOUSE: crow armbrust, he is the host of the gambling den it is him ]

[Sadly, the nature of miasma mansion means that a) she understands this and b) even if she didn't Crow declaring himself to be a house would still make sense to her.]

Strange. It is as if we are hosting a trial of our own.

[OVERHEARS THE FIRST DIBS ON PUNCHING HIKAGE--]

Hey, shouldn't I have first dibs on that?

[y'all are assholes

he killed her prey]


I don't know who did it, but... my gut wants to say it might be Gin. Not that it really matters much to me who the second culprit is.

Sorry, you should've spoken up sooner.

[ now you're in the queue!!! once bets start coming in you can't change the pot!! ]

Gin it is. That makes a total of three bets so far.

Don't test me.

[she is not in the mood for anyone's bullshit right now to be honest]

Of course, he hasn't spoken up in quite some time, so the chances of me being wrong is very likely. Not that it matters. I literally could care less, as long as Battler-kun's murder is given the justice they deserve and then some.

[ ...............hey this sure is the first time they've spoken after she ate him, hmmm ]

I haven't the faintest. But whoever it is...

[ ah, she wants them to feel all the pain they inflicted on him ]

[ She looks him in the eye.

Fire is a terrible way to die, you know.

She's seen it, on battlefields, there's a short memory she shares of a soldier getting hit with a fire spell, and running to her to be healed, except he's still burning while he walks, and Flayn's hands are shaking around her staff as she casts a healing spell--

That's it. That's how...terrible, awful, painful, it is, burning to death. ]
tangentlion: (I blew it...)

[personal profile] tangentlion 2020-05-16 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[he closes his eyes tightly, trying to blot out the memory she's sharing. He doesn't need it. He knows. Dying of electrocution... it's not much different.

Maybe he was dead before he burned.

lightreaching: (✧ tentatively)

[personal profile] lightreaching 2020-05-16 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ah--sorry, friend. Flayn bows her head in apology and little snippets of other things come slowly floating in the bad memory's place.

--and she saw Ignatz painting a portrait of her as fierce warrior, Ignatz, the man who was supposed to be a knight but wanted to just settle down and be an artist--

--and she saw Fhirdiad covered in a blanket of snow, over the feet of ice and permafrost the castle laid in nearly all year round, and the cold drove away her thoughts of fire--

--and she saw Annette, talking to her as they walked to class, Annette, who patted the top book in her pile, some sort of antique geometry textbook she'd found the day before, she was chirping on about math's applications in magic--

Flayn doesn't say anything outloud. She just waits. ]
tangentlion: (tip of the hat)

[personal profile] tangentlion 2020-05-16 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
... heh. [he bows his head, touching the brim of his hat]

Friends of yours?
lightreaching: (✧ chatting)

[personal profile] lightreaching 2020-05-16 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
A few of them, yes, from home.

[ ... ]

I do wonder how they are fairing...
tangentlion: (do the math)

[personal profile] tangentlion 2020-05-16 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Chances are, waaaay better than us. Hehe... oh well....

[he turns his attention to the goings on above...]

... Ango's given them extra time. But.... they're still no where near it, are they.
lightreaching: (✧ neutral)

[personal profile] lightreaching 2020-05-16 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
It does not appear to be so.

[ shaking her head ]

"Someone who uses a gun"....that is a means of narrowing things down, but not by much.

[ hmm indeed. but it's cool, she's a ghost so he probably can't feel animosity towards her?? probably

kinda sad if he could given they're linked now. nothing worse than hating someone in a hivemind because you're basically hating yourself
]

I'm going to put that down as, "nobody, Hikage's playin'."
lightreaching: (✧ if i may)

[personal profile] lightreaching 2020-05-16 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh no. I do believe it was someone else. The way he is acting...it does not seem as though he has a reason to hide his theoretical second crime.

[ Flayn looks at him. Really, really looks at him. She's not entirely sure how to broach the topic of "I'm sorry I literally ate you" because even through the miasma she's...still Flayn, less and less Flayn as the days go by, but. ]
